I have to be completely honest with this review. While the location is beautiful being right across the street from Long Beach the very long list of rules and communication were not the best. We had originally planned to have a wedding reception there and thankfully we made other plans months before because a week before our arrival we found out we couldn't even host a welcome party for the people we had invited. This was explained as a new law in California, but the fact that it was told to us a week before was a big bummer. The extra charges for parking, early and late check in didn't make the value seem as worth it either. It seemed more like price gouging. The last night we were there (the night of our wedding) there was a marathon and at 2 am we we're having to find parking blocks and blocks away from the house because the road in front of the house was blocked off. Again this made the value seem not so worth it especially since it was never communicated to us. Also there is no AC which I do remember seeing in the listing, but being October I didn't think this would really be an issue. However upon check in the house was so hot and heat was coming out of multiple vents. It was cooler to be outside than inside. Also the water pressure in all the bathrooms was horrible. One minute it would be trickling out and the next it was full pressure. The final thing was on our last morning of being there we found a live cockroach in the bathroom on the tub. I let the host know but never got a response which was disappointing. Overall it's a pretty, older house that needs some updates and I was glad it fit both my husband and I's families, but it was a lot of small things that added up to not feeling like the most amazing stay.
