The little apartment had everything we needed and more. It was within walking distance to the beach, shopping and restaurants. We were greeted with a welcome tray of goodies and the kitchen was well stocked with the essentials. The furniture was all very comfortable. It provided a great home base for our little family vacation. We would definitely stay here again

Perfect Stay

Our stay at Susan & Ted’s was wonderful. They were so accommodating and communicative, and the house had everything we needed. So many nice touches like being able to check in early with our two small kids, snacks set out on arrival and nice amenities to use while there. The location was perfect for exploring around Belmont Shore. Just what we were hoping for in a vacation rental!

Our Mermaid experience

my grown son, his girlfriend and our two dogs stayed at this darling place! Checking in was seamless. There were little treats, A cupboard full of spices, if you cooked, Coffee and the bathroom filled with extras just in case you forgot some thing! I got a response very quickly anytime I had a question. The neighborhood was very clean and I felt very safe, especially since I had to walk our dogs at all times of the day and night. I will definitely come back when I come back to visit Family in Long Beach! Thanks again for being wonderful hosts, we love your little house!

Very communicative & responsive host. Convenient location

Our family stayed here for three nights after Christmas. The location was very convenient and we enjoyed being able to walk to many restaurants and coffee shops as well as down to the beach. The unit is older but clean and thoughtfully outfitted with everything you need. Communications from Susan were very thorough and timely. We appreciated the snacks and there was plenty of free parking on the surrounding streets. The unit and street reminded us of a European vacation rental so if you are familiar with that vibe you will have no concerns here. One does hear traffic noise from the nearby busy street so be aware of that if you are a light sleeper.

Wonderful location and clean, cozy space

Our family of six stayed here for a weekend event on the waterfront and we were super happy with the great communication from the hosts and seamless check-in/check-out process. The location is perfect for beach days and enjoying the great food and shopping along 2nd Street. Everything was very clean inside the unit and there were really nice, welcoming touches and amenities, ample bath and beach towels and beach toys for the kids. The bedroom/bathroom space was a little tight for six people, but we didn't spend much time indoors as we were out enjoying the neighborhood, so that didn't really matter. Having the reserved parking spot was an absolute must as there was no other close street parking, but there was a big event on the beach all weekend so that might have been atypical. We also didn't utilize the shared patio or laundry as they were occupied, but the neighbors seemed very nice. All in all a lovely little getaway from L.A. for our family!

Long Beach / Catalina Island Family Trip

We had a great stay at this property. It was the perfect size for our small family of four - two adults and two kids (4 & 9). We rented this apartment as a middle ground place to stay for our six night family trip to visit around Long Beach (Aquirium & The Queen Mary), Catalina Island and Disneyland. This was close to the coastal attractions in Long Beach and a quick drive to Disneyland. The apartment itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a morning meals before a long day out. Just a couple of things to keep in mind - lots of one way streets in the area around the apartment, which took some getting use to when driving back and forth. And the room that has the bunk beds - our 9 year old slept on the top bunk and even slight moments made a decent amount of noise which bothered our younger child during the night a bit. But other than those two minor things - we loved the apartment and our six night stay and would recommend it for future stays in the Long Beach area. Thanks so much!
