Having grown up in Long Beach very near where this property is located, I found the location to be fantastic. It's only steps away from the shops and restaurants on Second Street and nearby Alamitos Bay for lounging on the sand at the water's edge. And only a short distance by bike (or car) will take you to The Peninsula, Naples Canals and the multi-use beach trail that ends at Shoreline Village and the Pine Street district downtown. It's also only 30 to 45 minutes by car from other popular destinations in either Los Angeles county to the north or Orange County to the south and less than two hours from many other destinations including Santa Barbara, San Diego, Palms Springs, Big Bear and even Catalina Island by ferry. The unit is older and does not offer any outdoor spaces, but it's clean and modern in style and the owners communicate very well before, during and after the reservation period. I would certainly consider staying here again in the future.
