The backyard is an oasis! Great house for those looking for a place i. Long Beach that is surrounded by good restaurants, night life, and witching walking distance of the beach. We were able to find parking out on the same street but sometimes a few houses down…no problem. We did have to move a few items and Knick knacks out of reach for our young children. Overall a good location and bigger than it looks on the pictures. The backyard is the second living area!
