This home is in a very nice area of Long Beach. Half a block (less than 1 minute) walk to a beautiful sheltered bay, perfect for little kids to swim, and a block and half (less than 2 minutes) to a beach.
On the weekdays, both locations are almost empty. Even on the weekends, we didn't experience it getting very crowded.
You can paddleboard, kayak, or windsurf in the bay, and there are rentals for those activities.
Services are a bit further afield. You can't easily walk to restaurants and shops - you have to drive (or bike) to 2nd street. It's about 5 mins away by car.
The place itself is simple and serviceable. There are not many detailed touches, but the basics are all there and in good working order.
