We just returned from an absolutely wonderful stay in Long Beach! The accommodation was every bit as lovely, comfortable and spotless as it looked on the airbnb website. On arrival we were greeted with fresh berries, flowers and pastries, all very welcome after the long flights from South Africa!

The place was equipped with everything we could possibly need, including special toiletries, food in the cupboards, wifi and stationery. It felt like being at a home away from home. We had a view of the very pretty garden from all the windows and our terrace. I was travelling with my two daughters and I would say the place is very comfortable for three people, maybe four at a push.

The location was perfect for us, close to our relatives in Long Beach, and also an easy walk from the 2nd Street shops, and the Colorado Lagoon. We attended the Farmer's Market and yoga in the Park on Wednesday evenings, followed by a picnic, which really made us feel part of the friendly, local neighbourhood, rather than tourists.

Our host, Jan is a lovely lady. She was very friendly and helpful; and at the same time we felt we had complete privacy.

I would definitely return!
