We just returned from a week at this property and we enjoyed it very much. We had 4 adults and one 15 year old and had plenty of room. The house is well decorated and has everything you would need. The bedrooms are HUGE with tons of drawer and closet space as well as comfortable beds. Two rooms have king size beds which is like having two master suites. The 3rd bedroom has two queen size beds that are also very comfortable. The downstairs kitchen, living and dining room are all open and spacious. One thing about this home is it has a 2 car garage which from the looks of the neighborhood is huge advantage. Very few places have garages and most have to park on the street which is extremely limited and the streets are really narrow. The garage is good size but getting in and out can be tough if you have a bigger vehicle. We had a Prius and Buick Enclave which fit in the garage perfectly, but I can see how a larger truck or SUV would have trouble getting in and out... The garage backs up to a very narrow alley, so it can take a bit to get in and out but having the garage is so worth it. There is a high level security gate that only opens with a special remote. We didn't have any issues at all, but the area looks a bit sketchy as some homes have bars on their windows, but again we had no issues and felt secure in the home with all the locks and security gates.
There is a front patio area that is absolutely darling. Lots of seating, twinkle lights and a great conversation area. The weather at night cooled off so it was wonderful to sit outside and enjoy.
The owner is amazing! He is so responsive even though he was in a different country. One night we went to an Angels game and my parents decided to go to dinner instead. We left for the game and I didn't realize until we were there that I had both remotes for the security gate. They were stuck and couldn't get out. I texted the owner (not knowing he was in another country 7 hours ahead) and he responded immediately saying he could open the gate from his end. We weren't getting home before them so he said to call him even though it was in the middle of the night and he would let them in. Top notch service!
It was pretty hot while we were there, so we were very happy that the AC worked so well!
The value of this house is great. It's only a couple miles to the beach and downtown Long Beach that has great restaurants and walking areas.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time.
