We had a great vacation in Long Beach thanks to a great stay at Carmen’s home. The home had plenty of space, was very clean and appeared to be a more recent remodel, and was close proximity to the beach with a 4-5 min drive to restaurants and stores. This location is both private and quiet. Carmen stocked a few items such as drinks and coffee etc. and has beach towels and chairs...a very nice touch! A washer/dryer onsite allowed us to pack lighter than usual. Also, there is secure garage parking and usually plenty of extra parking along the street.
The only critique was the misfortune of hot and humid weather due to a rare heat wave. Normally a few open windows would keep this home cool. However, without effective AC and only a two portable fans, we struggled to keep temps below 80 degrees downstairs and a bit warmer upstairs.
I highly recommend this property overall and we hope to make a trip there again in the future.
