We visited from Seattle for the New Year and Rose Bowl in Pasadena but opted to stay in Long Beach to be close to family and enjoy the waterfront. We were able to walk to shoreline village where we took a sunset harbor cruise, visited the aquarium and listened to live music along the way. We were able to run to the beach each morning for our workout. The house is clean, safe feeling and close to the freeway for easy outings. Having a washer and dryer in house made it easy for us to pack light. The kitchen was stocked well and allowed us to order in from several of the delicious local restaurants. The neighborhood has a friendly outdoorsy vibe. Communication before, during and after our stay was easy, making our trip stress free and enjoyable. We would absolutely stay here again.
