The RB cottage is the quintessential paragon of AirBnb excellence. Don't bother spending a lot of time researching other places.
The RB cottage has it all:
Excellent Location, Useful and Thoughtful Amenities. Kid Perfect. Dog Friendly.
Excellent proximity to the sea and the Riviera Village. If you are coming here to get close to things in LA you will be glad you stayed here. It is a respite from the city's attractions - so much so that you might want to skip some of them and simply explore the area. There are high quality restaurants, and boutique shopping experiences, the beach, cliff walks, and paddle board rentals close by. There is a green park across the street to walk dogs, complete with play structure, swings and sand for kids get their wiggles out.
Amanda provides bikes so you can glide around the village and ride along the sea on the boardwalk. We didn't have time to go to the beach on our quick trip to swim but she has everything for that too. There are books and a record player for nostalgic entertainment. I personally love that there is not a TV in the unit - though others might want that.
The house itself is very well designed with separate space for kids. It is situated in a truly a quiet neighborhood and a well maintained space with high ceilings and excellent water pressure. The outdoor patios allow for all fresco dining under the majestic grace of a huge sycamore tree. The cozy book nook room with swing was my favorite place of all.
This home is a gift in that it provides the comforts of staying with a dear friend who has thought of everything you might need to have a happy visit and is exceptionally clean without any sense of sterility.
We travel to LA many times a year to visit grandparents and used to live in Redondo Beach so we know this particular location and cottage are really exceptional. The RB cottage is far and away the best home we've had the good fortune to book in our many, many visits to Redondo.
