I was so fortunate to find this perfect cozy cottage for my two weeks stay. It was my homebase for a much needed and meaningful vacation. The bed is so cozy and comfortable that we had the best nights sleep we’ve had in months! The kitchen and dining table are the perfect size for talking and relaxing and making breakfast. The cottage gets lots of atmospheric lighting. The sofa and chairs in the den are perfect for curling up and lounging and watching a movie. You can set off in any direction for lovely walks through several different charming neighborhoods. Just a few blocks away you can rent a beach cruiser bicycle, scooter or even a PCH touring motorcycle from 2 Wheels Deluxe. I took scenic bicycle rides along the ocean on the beach bike path and with so many bike paths all over the city, I easily and safely rode the bicycle to all my favorite museums (including the Long Beach Art Museum located on the ocean front), neighborhoods, restaurants…the location is perfect and checking in and out with your hosts is a welcoming breeze! Everything was so stress-free. One block from the culturally diverse 2nd street, you can stroll over to any type of restaurant, bakery, coffee house you could ever think of, lots of fun shops, and my favorite, ending with a yummy cupcake from frosted bakery and another wander over to the ocean for sunset! Back at the cottage it’s quiet and peaceful. I was staying alone the first few nights of my trip and felt completely safe therefore great for solo travelers or for two people. The best cottage in the best location for resting and relaxing and/or for adventuring :)!!
