I wish I read all the bad reviews on this place prior to booking. I’d have rather burned my money than stay in this place. The host of this property has been the worst nightmare I have ever had to deal with. The person is not the same on the photo. The property is a bait and switch situation (read other reviews) he/she just baits people into paying and then ghosts. I spent two hours outside her address with her telling me she is a real estate agent and wanting my personal information. The treatment is below poor, its degrading. The place looks old, rusty, muddy and moldy from water leakage and proximity to the ocean I give kudos to the photographer of the place made it look awesome when in reality its subpar. The neighborhood is unsafe if you have children. Run away, and run away far. Trust and safety had to intervene in the reservation, police were almost contacted because host is using aggravating and threatening language. When you go in the apartment the owner has 2 pages of threats basically any reason she can milk you further by abusing the expensive deposit she keeps, she expects you to clean and tidy up after you otherwise she wont return the expensive deposit. You pay an extraordinarily high price for cleaning and she still expects you to do the work for her or still she’d overreach and take the deposits. I couldn’t stay more than a couple hours at the place it was a horrible experience. Finaly note this is not one apartment this is one apartment divided into three apartments, the host is just milking guests with expectations that are not close to reality once you check in you’ll be be truly disappointed. The dealing with the host was carried with a lot of bad faith. The property is simply horrible. I feel robbed.

I brought my teenage daughters for 3 days in April and we really enjoyed ourselves. I would stay her again for sure! Here are some things that future travelers may find useful: What I loved about the place: Location and View Nicely decorated Back deck with great little patio set to hang out on Designated parking spot Came with coffee filters Susan and her husband are so friendly and helpful What you Should know: The garages are very small, my Subaru Ascent barely fit and it wasn't worth the effort trying to park in the garage. The place is on a busy street, so there is traffic noise. There are no window coverings on the big, front windows that face the street. The place is very old, and the floors are creaky and you can hear other tenants (I think it has 3 units total). One night of our stay the downstairs had kids running around all night and you could hear everything! My teenagers were pissed that these kids kept them up all night! The walkway from the alley to the unit is uneven concrete. The kitchen has plenty of cups, glasses, dishes, etc., but super random unmatched sets (except for the plates) The frying pans are in terrible shape and need replacing. The towels are mismatched and not in great condition and could use replacing soon (my dog towels at home are softer) The dishwasher is not screwed into its counter space, so when you try to shut the door to run the dishwasher, it is very hard to get the dishwasher door to shut completely because the whole appliance moves. Like I said above, I would definitely stay here again, but these are the details I thought I would share with future travelers. While we were there, Susan's husband was working on the back fence and yard the whole time. He was super friendly and helpful. The yard, however, was a mess! There was mud on the walkway and landscape bricks being installed that you had to walk over. The new sod had caution tape around it. (It is going to look great once it is finished!). The first night we were there, the bathroom sink wouldn't drain, but it was fixed the next day. The toilet also doesn't always flush. The frying pans had most of the teflon scratched off and were unusable. I texted a photo to Susan and she took a different pan from a unit for us to use. We also wanted a blender, so she got one from another unit for us to use. And, after we checked out, my old daughter remembered that she left some clothes in the dresser. Susan mailed these back to us. Hope this helps!

Such a quaint and cozy getaway from the stressors of life. It was so peaceful to wake up hearing the birds chirping in the morning and feeling refreshed. Definitely a must recommend.

Property was beautiful! Just don’t pay extra for early check in. I paid for the property to be available at noon. I did not receive access until after 2 pm. After speaking to Susan She assures me I would be refunded. After requesting the refund on 2 separate occasions I have not been refunded a single penny. My last email was never reaponded to.

Glorious!

Myself, husband, and two daughters stayed at the Bluff Park home for 2 nights in March for Spring Break before heading to Disneyland. It was an easy Uber ride from Long Beach airport and a great location with a fabulous view right across the street from the beach. The first night we arrived we walked along the beach and beach trail that extends all the way down to the downtown area and had a great dinner. Lots of restaurants in the area and we always felt safe. The next day we took a quick Uber to tour the Queen Mary and do some shopping at the outlets before heading down to Huntington Beach for the day. There are so many things that are within walking distance (including a grocery store) or a quick Uber ride away which makes it a great place to stay. I find that most VRBOs have the same reasons for me not giving them a 5. And most reasons are to be expected with the large number of people going in and out of the home, there is usually some wear and tear and Bluff Park was no different. Nothing was beyond terrible but there are definitely signs of use (could use a new paint job inside), the dishwasher didn't work which normally isn't a big deal but we had to leave at 5:30am in the morning so doing dishes per the rental agreement was not ideal as we were trying to quietly get out the door. I say quietly because there is a family (or another rental, not sure) on the main floor which you have to walk past their side door just feet away from their kitchen (where they were gathered often) and it sometime felt a little encroaching. The last reason for 4 stars is because there was a noticeable stench coming from under the kitchen sink which did hit you when you first walked in. After a while you go "nose blind" to it though and so it wasn't terrible unless you were right by the sink. I did let the owner know about this so hopefully it will get resolved. All in all, it's a great little rental, in a great location and I would stay there again.

The house is located in a nice central location. Rooms are nice size.
