Our Mermaid experience
my grown son, his girlfriend and our two dogs stayed at this darling place! Checking in was seamless. There were little treats, A cupboard full of spices, if you cooked, Coffee and the bathroom filled with extras just in case you forgot some thing! I got a response very quickly anytime I had a question. The neighborhood was very clean and I felt very safe, especially since I had to walk our dogs at all times of the day and night. I will definitely come back when I come back to visit Family in Long Beach! Thanks again for being wonderful hosts, we love your little house!

Wonderful location and clean, cozy space
Our family of six stayed here for a weekend event on the waterfront and we were super happy with the great communication from the hosts and seamless check-in/check-out process. The location is perfect for beach days and enjoying the great food and shopping along 2nd Street. Everything was very clean inside the unit and there were really nice, welcoming touches and amenities, ample bath and beach towels and beach toys for the kids. The bedroom/bathroom space was a little tight for six people, but we didn't spend much time indoors as we were out enjoying the neighborhood, so that didn't really matter. Having the reserved parking spot was an absolute must as there was no other close street parking, but there was a big event on the beach all weekend so that might have been atypical. We also didn't utilize the shared patio or laundry as they were occupied, but the neighbors seemed very nice. All in all a lovely little getaway from L.A. for our family!

Perfect Stay
Our stay at Susan & Ted’s was wonderful. They were so accommodating and communicative, and the house had everything we needed. So many nice touches like being able to check in early with our two small kids, snacks set out on arrival and nice amenities to use while there. The location was perfect for exploring around Belmont Shore. Just what we were hoping for in a vacation rental!

Long Beach / Catalina Island Family Trip
We had a great stay at this property. It was the perfect size for our small family of four - two adults and two kids (4 & 9). We rented this apartment as a middle ground place to stay for our six night family trip to visit around Long Beach (Aquirium & The Queen Mary), Catalina Island and Disneyland. This was close to the coastal attractions in Long Beach and a quick drive to Disneyland. The apartment itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a morning meals before a long day out. Just a couple of things to keep in mind - lots of one way streets in the area around the apartment, which took some getting use to when driving back and forth. And the room that has the bunk beds - our 9 year old slept on the top bunk and even slight moments made a decent amount of noise which bothered our younger child during the night a bit. But other than those two minor things - we loved the apartment and our six night stay and would recommend it for future stays in the Long Beach area. Thanks so much!

Great centrally located family beach stay
The little apartment had everything we needed and more. It was within walking distance to the beach, shopping and restaurants. We were greeted with a welcome tray of goodies and the kitchen was well stocked with the essentials. The furniture was all very comfortable. It provided a great home base for our little family vacation. We would definitely stay here again

Cute place
The place was clean and in a good area. Close to the beach and dining. Easy to get to Huntington Beach. We had a welcome letter and some treats left by Susan and Ted for when we got there. Susan was very easy to get hold of and i was about to ask questions for weeks prior to our stay.

Excellent quiet cool place not far from the beach
Such a well cared for, stocked, perfect place to stay if you want to be a few blocks from the beach. It was a short walk to a fun shopping area with lots of restaurants. I highly recommend the Greek bakery/coffee shop Pietris. Susan and Ted made sure we even had a small welcome gift of snacks that was greatly appreciated. The AC is quiet and works well. The parking spot was helpful but there was also plenty of street parking. We liked the outdoor shared patio - had fun playing cards there once it cooled off. If we come back to Long Beach, this is the place for us.

A+ place to stay in Long Beach....
WOW!!! From the moment you step in with a super clean and well decorate interior, it feels like home but better. We only needed a two bedroom so the size was perfect. Even better the fold out couch was super comfy. Ted and Susan went above and beyond to decorate with oceanside decor and new furniture. There were plenty of bathroom soads and shampoos. If this was not enough, the hand written note and carefully designed local attractions book was the icing on the cake... How about multiple coffee pots from complimentary pods, to french press (with coffee)... electric tea pot... plenty of kitchen utensils, plates, and spices, sugar etc. neatly (almost artistically) standing in the cabinets. Super cold air (still warmer for our stay) in every room modernized the 1920 feel just enough to add comfort. Easy walking to an awesome, and charming main street with great dining places from Nicks to several pizza parlors and bars. THANK YOU!!! - We will return.

Awesome place for a family vacation
We love the California coast but had not been to Belmont Shore. It is a great little costal community and this house is right in the center of waking to shops and just minutes away from the beach. If you want bigger waves and don’t want to deal with any traffic, catch and Uber or Lyft to Seal beach…busier but bigger boogie board waves or go only 20 minutes south to the world’s surfing capital, Huntington. We brought our three teen daughters and this place had plenty of space for the 5 of us. Susan stayed in constant communication and made it so easy to find. She left a cute note, snacks, and even toiletries which came in handy with this many girls along in the trip. We will be back!!
