We ended up not staying at this house. The paint on the exterior of the house is peeling terribly, and many of the exterior wood window frames are rotting. Inside, the window sills have visible water damage and the house feels and smells wet and musty. Within an hour of arriving, we let the hosts know that we would not be staying in their home and requested they provide us with some kind of refund. They unfortunately stated that they would not refund anything to us. Very disappointing.

The house was cute and suited our needs. The beds are just ok but the patio area was really nice and relaxing to sit around.

This property needs some major structural work. The windows were leaking as well as the ceiling from the upstairs unit due to a large rain storm. However, it was apparent that this had been going on for some time due to water damage in the unit. While the owners did make us aware the day we were checking in, we didn’t realize how bad the situation was. My son and I have been sick since we left there with asthma and sinus issues no doubt due to mold exposure. They were having repairs done soon, so hopefully they can remedy these issues quickly. The area was great and the surrounding homes are beautiful. In addition to the water issue the home is a “shoes off” listings however the carpet in the unit is so old and dirty that we didn’t feel comfortable walking on it without socks or slippers on our feet.

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. It really is in a great location for anything in the Long Beach area. The neighborhood is beautiful and safe. While the weather prevented us from using the outside lounge are or get out to the water it all looked amazing. The kitchen feels new with everything you could ask for and there was plenty of space in the living room/dinning room area.

Can’t beat the location, you park your car and can walk everywhere.

Location was awesome, having the dock right across the street was great and having 2nd St. within walking distance was perfect. Neighborhood is beautiful… the apartment was nice, clean and spacious. The only drawback is when they say no noise after 10pm .. they mean NO noise.

Awesome location right on the water and close to 2nd street. House could use a coat of paint which would make it a little tidier, but overall very comfortable.

Quiet Time
Very quiet and clean house and surrounding area centered among major road ways, making it easy to get to major cities from Long Beach.

Family Trip
The location of the property, communication with the owner, neighborhood, parking and ease of access upon check in were all great.
However, the inside of the property needs to be updated, cleaned better and could have been better equipped for our stay. For example, we had 6 adults on our trip and had no hand towels in the bathroom, only one bath towel and wash cloth for each of us and only one kitchen towel for a 3 night stay with 6 adults. On the 1st morning we were going to make bagels and the toaster was hard to find and not clean. There was half eaten food in the freezer and a bag left near the front door with dog feces. The carpet is dirty, the unit could use a fresh coat of paint and some drywall repair in the front bedroom, which also has a shelf too close to the hallway door that is could have a been a hazard for a taller guest. For the amount we paid for this unit we certainly expected it to be clean, well maintained and have enough towels for the duration of the stay. We have stayed in many VRBO rentals over the years and this was the 1st property where we do not feel the quality matched the price and we have never had to leave a review that was less than stellar. Hope the feedback helps to improve the experience for your next guest.

Quick Getaway
I rented this home for my mother and her best friend who were coming into town for an event. It was the perfect location for them and really nice with the 1st floor location so they didn't have bunch of stairs to climb. The house was cozy and the beds were comfortable. We appreciated the little touches from our hosts and check in / check out was very easy. The exterior of the property could use some love, especially the front patio area, but for this stay, none of that mattered and again, the location is fantastic.

Great location!
Stayed for 4 nights with family that included 3 kids. House was clean and very nice. Great patio that is gated to keep in our poodle and our toddler. Location is perfect - walking distance to 2nd Street shops and restaurants. Owners live upstairs, but we saw them only a couple of times. Highly recommend this VRBO!

The best location!
Perfect location between beautiful neighborhood, the bay and dock across the street, and the beach and 2nd street within walking distance! Easy check in and communication with owners. Great new kitchen and baths, cool round living room lined with windows and great space. We really enjoyed the patio and dock space in the mornings. The chickens were very quiet 😉. Could use a deep cleaning and fresh paint in some areas.

Great experience
We spent President's weekend with our family at this home. The owner's were so friendly and helpful. The house was well appointed and updated. We enjoyed the outdoor patio overlooking the canal. The house is only a block away from Belmont Shore with shops and restaurants . Really would recommend this house.

Perfect stay
The location is outstanding. Checkin was smooth, house clean and just as expected. And the views! We could have hung out on the front patio the entire time. Perfect for morning coffee, afternoon relaxing.
Beds were all very comfortable which is usually the main problem with most rental properties. Here at Dexters, beds and bathrooms were perfection.
We very much enjoyed our stay.

A Beautiful Stay
While staying here, my experience was a 10/10. For one, I loved the location. It was near all the nice, fun places. The view when you walk out the door was mesmerizing every morning. There was no noise, the house had everything we needed before we went food shopping. The hosts always responded to any question or concern I had ASAP! I would definitely book this place again. Thank you Bryce and Kellie.

We had an amazing time and we LOVE this house!
The house was perfect. It is decorated beautifully. The space is great. The kitchen is well stocked. They even provided a little basket filled with snacks! It is very easy to communicate with the hosts who live right upstairs. (They have their own entrance) They do not bother you at all and you hardly know they are there unless you need them. We loved our stay and plan to be back for sure! We didn’t do the Duffy boat ride but would love to next time. We saw others doing it and it looked so fun! The neighborhood is great for walking (dog walking) most houses were cutely decorated for Christmas and there were light Christmas trees in the water! It was a magical place to spend Christmas!

Great Location-House is Mediocre
Let me begin by saying that the house is in a fantastic location across from the water and close to the shops and restaurants on 2nd street. Overall, we had a nice week.
I'd recommend being prepared for very old and dirty carpet, so dirty that we chose to wear flip flops rather than go barefoot. The interior could use a good coat of paint, lots of hunks of paint had fallen off. Exterior furniture has rotted and the cushions are filthy and moldy. Do not plan to BBQ as the BBQ is very dirty. With some cleaning supplies that we had to buy, we cleaned out the fridge, freshened up the bathrooms and had a nice stay.
Just feels like the house and dock could use some attention. We did enjoy walking to Naples and to 2nd street. Lots to see and do and really the location is great. Yes, there are chickens outside the window but they are cute and added to the experience. Overall, I'd say just be aware that you need to be flexible with your expectations.

Great location
Perfect location and very roomy. Kitchen and bath are updated. There were some necessities missing (toilet paper, trash bags, etc) and there were chickens outside the kitchen window that are pretty loud much earlier than we would have liked to have been woken up. Just might want to include that in the description. Overall, nice place though.

Fun House: No trash cans accessible outside
It was perfect for our family. Close to beach, use of canoes and life jackets, close to restaurants. House was pretty clean, comfortable, useful patio area. Had lots of fun. No trash cans outside so we had to take some of our trash. Left a few packed trash bags outside house in back.
