Worked perfectly for what we needed.

This is a very cute place, very close to 2nd street and a ten minute walk to the beach. My daughter and I stayed here for a weekend visiting family. It is very cute and clean. Only a few issues - but they were addresed quickly. It was an “excessive heat warning” all weekend and the portable AC unit was ok but definitely took a day to cool things off. We lost power Sunday morning and the instructions were incorrect for the breaker box because the la el had fallen off the outside unit. However the owner responded quickly to text and we were able to get it on again. We also had issues with wifi Saturday night. We tried resetting the router but still had a few hours without WiFi’. As other reviews state, it is in a loud area and close to other houses so there was noise but we were not there much so it didn’t get in the way of our stay. Would love ice trays in the freezer and a larger trash can in the kitchen. Otherwise it was grea and I would stay here again.

As seasoned travelers, my husband and I have stayed in various vacation rentals, but our recent experience at this VRBO rental in Long Beach, California surpassed all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning ocean views (a 5 min walk) the stylish decor, and the impeccable attention to detail throughout the property.
The location of the rental was ideal, just a short walk from the beach and within easy reach of local attractions, restaurants, and shops. We spent our few days exploring the vibrant city of
Long Beach, and did not want to leave.
What truly set this rental apart was the exceptional level of hospitality we received from the hosts. They were responsive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was perfect in every way!

Overall our stay at this place was okay. It got off to a bit of a rocky start when we checked in right on time at 2pm and the place hadn’t been cleaned yet and the host was unresponsive. Luckily the proximity to the shops and restaurants at 2nd street is convenient so we were able to walk around while we waited for a response. The cleaners arrived in short time and were able to get it cleaned within an hour (it’s a small place with just the bare minimum provided towels and bedding).
The place is right off 2nd street which is convenient but also it’s right next to the back alleyway of the shops off 2nd. It’s also in close proximity to the 3 other units within the building so there is hardly any privacy. You could hear everything between the walls, and we were awoken at 4am by a neighbor’s television on the first night. We did mention this to the host and they responded that they would inform the neighbor of the noise policy. We didn’t have the same problem the next night.
Also the circuit breaker tripped and the power went out while using the hair dryer with the air conditioner on. We didn’t use the kitchen but I can only imagine how often the power would trip if you were trying to use the microwave or any kitchen appliances. Also when we went out to flip the breaker switch, we noticed the switches were completely exposed and not even covered by a box or cabinet.
Overall a good location and fine place to sleep, but I wouldn’t stay again.

Comfortable stay for two adults. A/C kept it cool, but was a little noisy for sleeping. We didn’t use the kitchen, but it looked well-equipped. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. Enjoyed our stay, would come again.

Could not find a hotel that had a room for two or was affordable. Until we look at Vrbo and this was perfect for us. Owner was great process was easy. Thank you John

Great place to stay, exactly as described and pictured. Just a short walk away from restaurants and shops and a few blocks from the beach. Parking can be difficult, but not impossible. I stayed over a weekend and found a place on the same street nearly every time. Only once I had to park on the next block and could cut through a private parking lot to access the unit. Just to note, I am a female traveling alone and felt very safe there. Because of the closeness to the main shopping and eating area there can be minimal noise from people and vehicles outside. The host has provided a white noise machine that helped to drown out any noise. Overall, a great experience. Would stay there again.

This charming studio is located in the heart of Belmont Shore’s 2nd Street. Great place to stay for a quick weekend get away.

This studio was so cute! It was so clean when we checked in and check in was easy peasy. The area has many spots to eat at which is nice and parking wasn’t so much of a hassle. Would definitely stay here again in a future Long Beach visit!

Everything in the place felt clean and fresh. The floors, linens, all surfaces were all clean. I appreciate the kitchen and it's amenities like the cookware, appliances, and most of all...the coffee machine! It felt good to see a rack of coffee pods instead of a measly two count that most places offer. The heater kept the room warm and the water for the tub was quick to get hot. Nice neighborhood also as it feels safe enough to walk around in and parking isn't too bad. Not a bad place at all, maybe a little cramped for tall bulky people but, overall it was a great visit for me. I appreciate what the hosts supplied in their place for guests as others leave theirs virtually empty. Would definitely recommend and consider another visit in the future.

This great little studio is one block away from Second Street's upscale shopping area. That being said, parking is difficult to find during business hours. Before going to sleep and waking up, I heard someone annoucing over a loudspeaker to clear the streets. Noise is a problem during business hours, but quiet late at night and early in the morning when locals are going to work; walking their dogs.
The owner addressed my problem immediately when I had difficulty entering the key code. Great location for shopping and night life, but not so great if looking for peace and quiet.

This is a nice, clean and well equipped studio apartment in the heart of Belmont Shore. It’s a four unit building with street parking. I had no problem finding parking even on street sweeping day. Perfect place for a couple. Checkin and checkout was simple.
8.0
The studio was in a good location. It was small, but sufficient for sleeping and being close to activity.
The communication with the owner was not the best. It eventually worked out but there was some stress with entering the apt. and the info that we are supposed to receive just prior to checking in.

Very professional and friendly! I would utilize this place whenever I’m in town! Easy check in and check out (contactless process was super easy) and the place provided great comforts ex: shampoo, towels, it was set up nicely like a nice hotel would be stocked, it felt like a great “home away from home” experience and five out of five stars from reservation to checkout. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The unit was clearly a slap together remodel so just not our taste, there was only one single fork and not a lot to be said about the kitchen, and the most unfortunately part was having to catch the cockroach that was running around the kitchen.
The best part about this property was the location, parking was a bit of a hassle but there’s an endless amount of food/drinks right around the corner and a beautiful walk to the beach regardless of what road you take.
The area was great and we will visit again but will not be staying in this unit again.

We had a great experience with this little casita by the beach. Host was super nice and flexible- I asked to shift my reservation dates one date earlier and he was so nice about it! Didn’t even charge us the difference in rate for the Friday night! We loved this spot! Will be telling my friends about this location. Thank you John!

The house was perfect for my husband and I. Quiet street, our stay was Monday-Wednesday and the steeets/neighborhood were very chill, we walked everywhere, the walk to the ocean was 10 minutes. Will definitely stay again, great place for the price.

When we arrived, the couch was stained. It looked like an old stain & we didn't think much of it. I didn't take a picture of the stain & lesson learned, I should have. After checking out, the host messaged me about the stain and I told him I don't know what happened. He messaged me back and said I was lying - that the cleaners said the couch was stain free before my check in. This is not true. He filed a claim with my rental insurance for around $400. I'm not sure if he is trying to scam people and their insurance but this is what it feels like. Do yourself a favor & report any stains to the host before you set your bags down. A nice vacation has turned into days of dealing with this host badgering me about the couch stain that I had no part in. Wont be renting from this guy again.

This place is in a brilliant location, you can walk straight onto 2nd Street. We found parking really easy. It’s a modern interior and the bed was really comfy.
Downsides are as many have said, the walls are so thin you can hear everything either side of you (you receive a list of rules before you stay including no noise after a certain time of night but with no sound proofing it’s a bit pointless).
Like another person said, the light switch was hanging off the wall and wasn’t fixed by the time we arrived. A plug socket was the same.
We booked for 8days which is too long here, we had one wardrobe space with maybe 5-6 coat hangers and when we opened the wardrobe, there was lots of ‘house maintenance stuff’ which we had to move before we could settle in.
The facilities in the laundry room weren’t clean (inside there was dried paint & plaster) so we opted to do our washing elsewhere.
I messaged John during our stay as the iron seemed to be missing, he replied once asking me to confirm it definitely wasn’t there. I did this then never heard back from him. Not a huge deal but it meant we couldn’t wear certain clothes for the remainder of our holiday as they were creased.
Finally, on the morning we were leaving there was a power cut. I happened to have just started drying my hair. Again, not a huge deal but again I messaged John to let him know - no apology which isn’t great.
I’d say this is a great place for short trips and ideally solo travellers.

Youre in a great location. I took the bus to the long beach grand prix and it runs literally a block away - much cheaper and honestly easier than dealing with uber. The surrounding restaurants are plentiful and there’s tons of retail, with close proximity to the beach. The light switch was falling out of the wall though and there were quite a few warnings about volume, from closing the front door to the TV volume which I thought was odd. When I got there, I was able to clearly hear a full conversation from whoever was staying next to me. I’m not really picky about that, but if you need dead silence to sleep you should bring some ear plugs.
