Our stay was very nice at Shawn’s property. It was very clean (which is a big deal for me) and the location was great! The only thing that was not ideal was the walls to outside were very thin, so when neighbors would come home you definitely wake up. It was not a big deal once we knew but the first time was a bit surprising. We had a great time and would come again!

Great stay while in Long Beach. House hd everything we needed and was conveniently located

This was a perfect place to stay for 6 people. Everything was great!

This is our second visit and we love the property and location. We will be back soon!

A beautiful clean home with all the amenities. Located between the beach and bay with easy access to both. Managers were so accommodating and quick to respond. We can’t wait to return!

Awesome location. We had a great time

We had a family gathering planned for Long Beach where my sister lives. We needed a place for four adults and a one year old. The house was perfect for us. An excellent 3 bedroom home in a perfect spot. Very enjoyable.

The whole experience was nothing short of AMAZING ! The communication with the property owners were excellent ! They responded to every question I had. The view was amazing. The neighbors were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

We have stayed here for a number of years in a row and each year is better than the last. They have added some nice amenities - new kitchen supplies and fridge - and always answer questions quickly. I would recommend this spot to anyone.

The pictures are very accurate. We were very pleasantly surprised when we walked in, it's just as cute as the pictures show. And as others said, it felt very clean. The cottage is very well stocked with a lot of kitchen supplies, a lot of towels and blankets. It seems like it would be great for families with small kids. The garage is stocked with beach chairs, a couple coolers, life vests. We used the kayak a couple times and it is very easy to pull it across the street to the bay.

Clean, sweet and charming. The owners were amazing and kind. Can't say enough about how wonderfully we were treated.

Enjoyed a week with our whole family. The cottage was very comfortable and accommodating. Only issue is parking, but using the garage helped because we had two vehicles.

Clean and comfy. Steps from the beach!

The location was great with easy access to the walkway along the beach. The rental was great size for the three of us for our sisters birthday get together.

My family and I enjoyed 5 nights at the Cottage on the Peninsula in June 2019, absolutely loved it! Communication with Shawn throughout the booking was wonderful and on check in day, due to a delayed flight into CA, we didn't get into the house until midnight, but Shawn gave us the code to get in so made it all very easy. Although we arrived late, our host had all the lights on, so it was a nice welcome despite getting in so late,. The home was cozy and inviting. Our host had all the amenities we needed, linens, beach gear, soaps and comfortable beds! The location was perfect, we enjoyed the kayak and it was easy to roll over to the bay. The beach board walk was so nice and serene and we enjoyed walking out there in the morning. The home is steps from the beach, and although the streets are busy, the cottage had a garage which made things wonderful. Also had a laundry room, much needed for a family of four, soap and fabric sheets included! The home is lovely and just a gem of a place. We were so sad to leave, thank you for sharing your beautiful home, we had an amazing time. Living in Hawaii, we are accustom to beach living but the warmth and beauty of this home took being on the beach to a different level, Mahalo nui loa for a beautiful time!

The pictures of the beach cottage initially caught my eye because I love the bright, white and the beachy look. I read all of the positive reviews and decided to book it based upon the great reviews. The pictures on the website look just like the place in person. The location is great because it is just steps from the sandy beach. The owner, Shawn, kept in contact with us daily and we appreciated her checking in to make sure we had everything that we needed. The fact that beach towels, chairs, and kayaks are available for use was awesome! We didn't end up using the kayaks, but liked the availability of them. And having a washer/ dryer to be use during our stay was very convenient! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back in the future!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Great location, comfortable home, and very clean. Great trip!

We loved being so close to the ocean as well as the bay. There is a wonderful boardwalk 1/2 block away to walk by the ocean. The cottage is lovely, very clean and comfortable for 6 adults! We loved having a double kayak to use and the beach chairs and umbrellas were great. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and there were even some condiments in the frig. There is a Trader Joes and a Whole Foods close by for groceries. Shawn answered texts very promptly too!

In town for a regatta. Easy walk to ABYC. Every thing we needed in the property

Great location !

Our family of four was super happy with our stay at the Cottage. It is a great super "beachy" location in Long Beach and just a short drive or long walk to everything you need for your stay. Each of our kids had their own bedroom (always a win there) and we were able to maximize every day due to the convenience. We would stay again.

The cottage was lovely, exactly as pictured. It included a well-stocked kitchen, charming living room, and cozy beds. The neighborhood was charming. We enjoyed the Vibes Cafe on 62nd PL, the restaurants on 2nd Street, and the Creama Cafe and shopping in Seal Beach. The close proximity of Vibes Cafe and 2nd Street made it easy to get around without a car. Our walks along the beach and being able to hear the sounds of the surf from inside the cottage enhanced our trip to see family. We would love to stay again and have already recommended the cottage to other family members. Thank you for having us.

overall, we were impressed with shawn's home. does not feel like a rental. it feels like a home. the house is steps away from the beach. the beach is very quiet though for those who prefer a quiet beach. home was clean. had all the kitchen utensils, pots, plates, etc. home had enough towels for bathrooms and beach. home had one parking space in garage but you can park another small care close by garage doors. there is good parking spaces around the neighborhood. you do have to drive to other areas for entertainment as this home is in a residential place. I would say that the bed in master bedroom is more soft in general , which is fine if you prefer that. for those traveling with pets, there is limited space to walk dogs. you would have to walk several blocks to a small park area. overall, we enjoyed being there.

We loved the house and all the beach toys that were available to use (kayak, paddle board, etc). We were disappointed that the ocean side was not really useable- they are doing erosion control and have built up a huge sand berm. But the bay side was great and very nice for families. The owners were extremely responsive and the place was stocked with everything we could use. We recommend this house.

...great stay.

This house checks off everything we were looking for... Clean, Dog friendly, Steps to the beach, Toys and games for the little one, Kayaks, Stand Up Paddleboard, laundry, etc. We fully enjoyed our stay and would come back in a heartbeat.

My husband and I went with our 3 children and we had a lovely time! We were met when we arrived with a bottle of wine, which was well needed after traveling with 3 kids :). We loved that everything was stocked (I mean everything- laundry, shampoo/ conditioner, beach towels, frisbees, grill, anything you can think of). It was bright and airy as well. We used the kayak and paddle board and the kids loved it! We felt welcomed as Shawn was always in contact and responding to any questions we had. We did spend most of our beach time on the bay side though, which was a 5ish min walk. It’s not directly on the beach but close enough that made it feel like it was. Neighbors were also very friendly when we chatted with them. It was well worth every penny and would love to come back. It was close to pretty much everything in Long Beach and only a 25 min drive to disney land, which was awesome! One thing to note, could be because we didn’t read close enough, but there was no dishwasher. However, it was good for all the kids to help wash dishes and there were also a lot of restaurants close by. :)

We loved this house! We had a family vacation with the pups! Great living room and very cozy beds. Was just a few houses down from the beach and the bay, couldn’t ask for a better location! The kitchen was stocked with anything you could need! Would definitely book again next year! Thank you!!

Our stay was wonderful - we enjoyed daily walks on the beach and it was so convenient to shopping and restaurants. The property had everything we needed and was just the right amount of space for us. The sunsets were amazing while the ocean breeze and crashing waves kept us in a perpetual state of calm that we so desperately needed. The property managers were great at communicating and met us as we checked in to make sure everything was ready for us.

We had a wonderful time in Long Beach. You're home is beautiful. We were very impressed with how equipped and clean everything was. My family had an amazing and relaxing time. You're home is again absolutely beautiful. We really enjoyed the beach!

Just as pictured, close to everything, something for everyone and when your 10 yr old and 15 year old are both happy it’s a win for everyone. Would definitely stay here again.

The house was perfectly located near both the beach and the bay. Although there is view of the beach from the house, you can hear the waves as soon as you open the door. The house was stocked with everything you need from games to a full kitchen. It is open and inviting and decorated beautifully. We had a great time just relaxing with our family and friends.
