Beautiful property. If you are a fan of Art Deco you will be absolutely delighted. The majolica bathroom tiles are exquisite. There are beautiful touches throughout the entire property. The home is spacious and comfortable, and it has everything you need for your stay. Great location, it is a very short 10 minute walk to the beach. Highly recommend it ❤️

We stayed here for our last trip as a family of 3 and had a wonderful time. The home was beautiful, quiet, had everything we needed and more. It is so quiet, peaceful and really felt like we were on a true vacation and not just staying at a random house. The beach was a very short abs easy walk away and there were great amenities. Very cute and well kept old house. This was also great for my almost 2 year old son! Highly recommend.

Fantastic home, location and host.

We spent two weeks in Brad's home. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. It is such a charming place and neighborhood. The fountains and exterior lighting add an especially magical feel. The house was well stocked with everything we would need. We made very good use of the bikes Brad provided by cruising to Long Beach and on to Seal Beach. There was a very minor issue with one of the electrical items in the house, I only mention this because as soon as I notified Brad, he immediately rectified the issue. We highly recommend this Belmont Shore home and its host Brad.

So many comfy spaces to enjoy!

Brad and Olga have put a lot of work, thought and heart into making this a perfect choice for a SoCal getaway. I chose it as home base for my 60th birthday celebration with my husband and two young adult children. In addition to enjoying local attractions like the Getty Center and a concert at the Carpenter Center, we enjoyed so much about the property itself: the sunroom, the patio out front (a pleasant place to read during the day and the fire pit was fun at night), the back patio with the fountain and lights, the well-equipped kitchen and living room with large-screen TV for that one night when you just want to stay in and watch a movie. We walked to two favorite restaurants on Second Street (discovered on previous trips during my son’s time attending CSULB) and loved, loved, loved riding the cruiser bikes on the beach path just across the street. From the Art Deco/Beach decor to the beautiful landscaping to the quiet neighborhood to the thoughtful touches everywhere you look, Casa de las Palmas did not disappoint! It was the perfect place to christen a new decade! Brad and Olga definitely have the gift of hospitality and we are grateful to have had the opportunity to experience it!

Past Meets Present Under the Palms

This perfect little spot blends the historic past of the home with present day upgrades and provides a true oasis on the shore. The home is relaxing with everything you need to have a great beach day right there. Evenings spent outside were divine with the lighting and the fountains. I found my perfect spot out front to just sit, drink coffee and watch the world go by, including all those wonderful pups on the way to Rosie's Dog Beach. Be sure to check if the grunion are running (don't forget a fishing permit if you want to collect fish) during your stay for a unique experience to entertain young and old! Close access for LBSU, the 2nd street shops and restaurants, Belmont pier and Granada Beach! Come play by the sea and enjoy some of the 1930's chill vibe glamour that the neighborhood posesses!
