We stayed in Cottage #2 for a week with our two young sons (ages 5 and 3). The place was perfect! It is walkable to the beach, the Redondo Beach Pier, and a waterfront playground in nearby Veteran's Park. Despite the great location, the cottages are removed from the street, so we enjoyed lots of privacy and quiet. The cottages themselves are very quaint and comfortable -- the kids slept on a futon in the living room with no problems. It was great to actually live in the community of Redondo Beach rather than in a bland hotel. Wendy is a warm and friendly host. Overall, a great choice for a warm, sunny stay in Southern California.
