Despite being sick with bronchitis, Elizabeth was the perfect hostess. She made us feel like part of her family within minutes of arrival. The house is quiet, and right (I mean within 10 feet) on the sand in the Long Beach Marina area. Easily within walking distance of the 'happening' 2nd Street. We would ask to stay there again next time we come to Long Beach, in a heartbeat. She was always up for a good story or conversation, despite feeling poorly. We think she's great.
