Deserves all the five star reviews. The house is charming, Dee is a wonderful host and the location can't be beat. Redondo beach is convenient to LA proper and Anaheim. We were able to easily enjoy quick trips into the city and to Disney. The beach itself is exactly what we had hoped for. Clean and relatively quiet, it is much more family friendly than the more touristy Venice & Santa Monica further north. There's even a resident pod of dolphins who unexpectedly came up and said hello to my oldest daughter one afternoon while she was playing in the surf.
The neighborhood is quiet with a regular sightings of humming birds and butterflies, but not too quiet. We were able to walk down to the village for coffee and restaurants and there are really good croissants at 'Krust' a little bakery right across the street.
Could not recommend staying here enough.
