Charming Home with Backyard Oasis

This is a spotless house with great retro look, it’s everything you could want in a home base. Within walking distance to restaurants and shops, the house also stocks more amenities than you will ever need! Jean is a wonderful warm host who made us feel right at home, she’s very knowledgeable about Long Beach and has all kinds of recommendations for dining, entertainment , etc. The backyard feels very private and is a lovely sanctuary with sparkling pool. We definitely recommend!

We were on the go most of the time so we didn't spend a lot of time at the house. Pool is nice but like the review said not warm yet--we even had wet suits. I'm sure it's amazing once it's warmer. Beds are firm if that's what you like.

Long Beach We'll Be Back

Admittedly we have many people we love in and around Long Beach. We hosted an intimate gathering of 12-15 folks. The Cartagena St location, amenities and 'at home' atmosphere complimented our soiree that allowed all who attended a wonderful time and all who didn't a regret they will not repeat. Thanx to Gene and her crew, we're prepared to reserve again for next year.

Gathering from 3 points

Family funeral gathering with family members traveling from Australia and New Zealand. With all of our different tastes, everyone agreed that this was a charming, good vibes only, type of house with clean lines and quaint pieces that highlighted its midcentury architecture. Loved learning the history of the home and the host was simply lovely. Wish the weather cooperated in order to enjoy the pool but we plan on returning in the summer.

A beautiful home with a backyard oasis - better than advertised

We had a wonderful five-night stay here. The house is in a very walkable neighborhood with great restaurants around the corner. Easy access to the 405 - grocery stores nearby. We made several runs to LAX for relatives and found 30-45 minutes each way. The house is a mid-century marvel, furnishings and tasteful decor to match. The backyard is an oasis - lush and green - perfectly private with a large pool and shaded patio. The owners have gone all-out to ensure that guests have everything they need here. Very highly recommend - we would most definitely stay here again.

Great Home Base

Owner was super detailed with everything regarding the stay. House was spotless! We wanted to stay off the beaten path of downtown LA. This house was in a great location. Not too far from LA, Disneyland and other cool attractions on the coast. Very close to shopping, restaurants, bars and grocery stores. Came out with the family from Chicago to see Elton’s final concert in the U.S. at Dodger Stadium and spent a week in the LA area for a much needed vacation. This house was a great home base for our family… great memories made here. Would definitely come back.

Great Location

This property is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. It was so convenient to restaurants and a short drive to the beach. It only took us 35 minutes to get to and from the Burbank airport. It took about an hour to drive to Universal. We also drove to San Diego. It could be less than an hour and a half drive depending on the time of day. There needs and pillows were so comfortable that I slept like a baby. Jean was so nice and even checked in via messages. I highly recommend this property!!!

The property was just as described. Great space inside with a private pool and garden like space in the back. Quiet, pleasant neighborhood close to our daughter’s home. Jean was a fabulous host, responsive to all or needs, truly wanting us to enjoy her property. Would have loved a heated pool, but new that going in. The granny suite was particularly useful for my daughter and her family to have privacy. All the amenities you would ever need. Jean was very generous to us.

Real LA Living in comfort and distinction

We stayed five nights - a 92 year old on her first trip since pandemic, her niece and nephew, and a 10 year old boy. It was fabulous - a very convenient location in a quiet neighborhood. The house is very spacious with a layout that is classic mid-century modern - so it felt as if you were living in the 1960s. The pool is beautiful, and our 92 y.o. went swimming every day. No worries about parking, which is plentiful. Beds are all great and there's plenty of towels. We did a lot of cooking in the kitchen which is very well equipped. The house is also very airy - we didn't need the air conditioner during our stay, although there is also central a/c.
