Beach and Bay Perfection!

The beach is our happy place--and this location was absolutely perfect, even better than described. The home was well-appointed. From three very comfortable rooms, two bathrooms, and a large open common area with plenty of seating around the table and sofa. The decor was gorgeous--beach chic and simple which gave plenty of space for our items and to feel at home for our stay. The home includes all the items you could possibly want for the beach or the bay--our family utilized the paddle boards, kayak, wagons, and chairs. The beach really is just a few yards from the front door and, while the home doesn't have a beach view from inside, you can hear the waves crashing with the window open. We watched several sunsets sitting on the ledge not far from the front door. Excellent shell hunting and we saw several dolphins from the shore. Just one block the other direction is the bay---providing early morning shell and sea life hunting. We found a small octopus, star fish, sand dollars, and so much more. The bay is so very quiet in the morning--swimmers and early morning paddleboard/kayakers enjoy the peace as it slowing wakes up to families enjoying the beaches and quieter waters. We'd 100% stay here again.

Such a beautiful spot!

Lucked our way into staying at this gem prior to leaving for our cruise. The neighborhood is very quiet, the house is beautiful and you can hear the ocean right outside the front door. It’s a super easy couple of steps to get to the beach. Property managers are highly communicative and welcoming. The house is beautifully maintained and has all the things you may need to enjoy your stay. This is a more residential area with grocery stores and activities within easy distance. Parking can be a bit tricky on the street since it fills up fast but wasn’t an issue as we ubered to most places and that was reasonably priced also. I’m only sad we weren’t here longer.

Meeting our grandbaby...

It was a perfect location for us to visit our new grandbaby, relax and walk on the beach just feet away from the front door and we were able to meet as a whole family one evening for dinner in the home. Communication was great - easy access and accommodation. Would stay again for sure.

BEACH Cottage

I was traveling solo for R&R and it's exactly what I got. The area was very quiet and I felt very safe and the house was situated Between the Ocean and the bay. The house was lovely and very clean and well organized and I hope I can return.

Cute and cozy beach house close to the water

This property was the perfect size for four adults to enjoy some much needed vaca time. Clean, comfortable and fully stocked house. Walking distance to the beach in either direction (one way is a wall of sand and rougher waters, the other is perfect for families and a nice walk in the bay) Centrally located house with a quick drive to grocery stores, coffee shops and tourist attractions. Would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for a nice getaway in the Long Beach area.

Great Family Getaway

We had a wonderful week staying on the Long Beach peninsula in this adorable beach cottage. It was clean, tastefully decorated and sufficiently appointed with everything we needed for our stay. There were lots of beach equipment to use, a brand new bbq, and was steps away from both the ocean and the bay. Thank you for letting us use your place!

Relaxing Getaway

The location is fantastic. The sound of the waves provide a relaxing atmosphere. The place is well-equipped, clean, and spacious. I loved that it was a pet-friendly rental which allowed us to have our fur babies with us. The hosts are very attentive and responsive. It is a quiet neighborhood which adds to the peaceful and beautiful ambience We will certainly return and recommend Shawn and David’s place.

Wonderful Beach vacation!

Staying at this adorable cottage/house was like going home. I marveled that they had everything we needed, comfy beds, all utensils for use in the kitchen and it was two houses from the boardwalk. I wish we had been able to use all of the beach equipment that was easily available in the garage, but it was winter and to chilly. Loved our vacation!!
