I spent nearly a week here by myself with my hubs joining me for the weekend. I originally chose Long Beach for the cheap airfare and sun, and now I can't wait to return to Belmont Shores and Glenn and Maria's great property. I didn't have to rent a car as everything I needed was in walking distance! 2nd Street is just a couple houses away and the joy you will find in coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, sport bars and Irish pubs not to mention great boutique shops with the kindest people working. The house it self is full of charm and was great inspiration for me as I used the week for a personal retreat. I loved sitting out front in the sun during the day and for the fire pit in the evenings. when the sun was too much I relaxed in the back private courtyard that has great sail shade coverings. There is a garage of you decide to rent a car you won't have to deal with street parking. During the week it was the perfect quiet escape and come Friday and Saturday all the energy of people coming out of covid and celebrating and being a community again! Highly recommend this place for a couple or 2.
