I chose Shawn and David's home because it appeared to be perfect for our family: a play area for our 3 and 5 year old, walking distance to the beach, 2 bathrooms, and a garage so we wouldn't have to worry about trying to find street parking. It did not disappoint on any of those points.
The home was easy to find. Shawn and David were great with communication before and during the stay with clear instructions. The room that had the toys was toward the back and had a door, so it was great when my two kids were up early playing that they didn't wake my sister who was staying in the front bedroom.
It was decorated nicely, but I didn't have to worry about too many antiques or small objects my kids may want to mess with. The garage was off an alley in the back and it was a good size! Our minivan is a little long, but still fit.
Easy to walk to the beach. Close to plenty of restaurants and stores. Calm and friendly neighborhood. I couldn't have found a more perfect home for our needs while staying in Long Beach.
