Belle made it easy to stay as a guest at her home as she is kind, responsive and doesn't have an excessive number of rules. Her home is large and comfortable. Her home is also in a very nice neighborhood. It is not convenient to the beach though, if that is important to you. Our family of seven adults were quite comfortable in the house - it has most of the comforts that you would want in a home away from home. If you do plan on doing a fair amount of cooking, you might want to check with Belle to make certain that the items you are expecting to be there are there so that you can make other provisions if they are not. We have rented in the Long Beach area during Thanksgiving week for the last 12 years. This is the nicest house we have stayed in, in all of those 12 years. One of our criteria has generally been to be close to the beach. That didn't work out for us this year and in the future, if this isn't a criteria, we would definitely consider staying in Belle's home again.
