Joe was an awesome host. He left us some snacks, a dog bed, two local parking passes, and gave us breakfast recommendations that were FANTASTIC. The place was fully stocked with cleaning supplies, towels, toiletries, dishes, bedding, a grill, good tv, WiFi, beach supplies including chairs, sunscreen, a bike and boogie boards. This is a PRIME beach location that cannot be beat for value. The ocean breeze is right outside your door and you can hear the waves as you lie in bed. Hermosa Beach isn’t as crowded as some of the other beaches in the area and we had so much fun playing at the beach with our kid. It is so convenient and valuable to have the parking passes and be so close to the beach (one block away) because you don’t have to hassle with traffic and loading and unloading the car, paying parking fees, fighting for a spot etc etc. THAT alone makes this place worth it; it reduces so much stress, and adds hours more time to actually relaxing on the beach. This is an older apartment typical of the LA region so it’s small and not fancy. But it’s clean and everything works — and you don’t come to the beach to chill indoors. We couldn’t have found pet friendly for this price anywhere else in the region. Joe was a super nice host to us and I really appreciated how relaxed and accommodating he was. He always got back to us right away every time we messaged him. He even gave us a late check out because we were in the middle of moving that day and he wanted to help us out.
