The Tree House was a great place for us to stay.
The beach, pathway, pier, restaurants, coffee shops and grocery store are a short walk away. The location is an easy drive to and from Disney and other Anaheim attractions (Angels baseball, shopping) and - by Los Angeles standards - a reasonable drive in the other direction to downtown LA, Hollywood Santa Monica and LAX. Access to the Pacific Coast Highway and the other beach towns (Huntington, Newport, Redondo, Manhattan) is quick and easy. The private, reserved parking spot is a great asset for guests.
Nelson has put a great deal of thought and work into the Tree House. The kitchen includes everything a cook could require, the television, stereo and internet connectivity are top notch, the house is filled with helpful day-to-day items and is decorated in fun and interesting ways. The two bedrooms and two bathrooms are well appointed, clean and comfortable. The house includes a patio set and barbecue on a peaceful balcony surrounded by a lush California garden and yard. A good quality washer and dryer set came in very handy and, although we did not use them, Nelson has provided a printer and VOIP phone for long distance calls which would be useful for many visitors. Nelson provides three bikes and beach accessories -which we enjoyed and appreciated having for our use. The Tree House manual provided by Nelson is a terrific guide to the property, the amenities of the area and Long Beach.
The neighborhood is welcoming, friendly and easy to navigate. Long Beach itself offered great beaches and pathways, a stellar aquarium, plenty of shopping (record stores, skateboard shops, and all of the major and trendy retailers anyone could want) a terrific assortment of good restaurants and beautiful sunny warm weather.
Nelson is a good host. He gave us a good orientation to the Tree House, checked in with us to make sure we were happy and is readily available to his guests. The "welcome to the Tree House" chocolate cake left for us by Nelson was kind and appreciated.
We would definitely stay again at the Treehouse.
