We had a great stay at this Airbnb and would definitely come back. The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, which made everything easy and relaxing. We were pleasantly surprised that street parking was never an issue, even during busier times. The individual AC units in each bedroom were a huge plus and kept everyone comfortable. Overall, a smooth, convenient, and enjoyable experience.

My family and I stayed at this property for 4days. It was absolutely amazing. The place was perfect, spacious, clean and quiet. We really took advantage of the great location, restaurants, shopping, all in short walking distance. One of my favorite added amenities in the kitchen was the filtered water system by the kitchen sink. We will definitely be using this air bnb on future visits to Long Beach. Thank you Shawn & Caprice

Shawn & Caprice’s home was beautiful! It was charming, vintage in all the best ways, and also clean with sophisticated furniture. The location was literally perfect! It was SO close to 2nd street with an amazing coffee shop just a 4 minute walk away and the beach was a very short walk in the opposite direction. We literally walked to get coffee, checked out the bakeries and shops on 2nd street and then dropped off our treats at the house and walked to the beach. This home was beautiful and even better than the photos! We loved everything shout it. Oh and let’s not forget about the easy going and very responsive hosts! They were easy to get a hold of, warm, kind and super informative and supportive! Honestly we left wanting to move there. The neighborhood is adorable. We hope to come back again soon!
