Our party of four adults--my sister and I and our spouses--stayed here for a week at Christmas time. Ginger and David were very responsive and solicitous, and our stay was smooth and pleasant.

The location is fantastic: it's a quick walk to Broadway (the Potholder, a breakfast joint of local renown, is around the corner, and the Coffee Cup, where the eggs are even better, is ten minutes away on 4th Street), as well as the 2nd Street district of Belmont Shore and Naples. The beach path (walk downtown!) is also very close.

This dwelling is also very convenient in having a garage, a kitchen (well stocked with pots and pans) and laundry facilities, which makes it excellent for longer stays. It is perfectly sized for four adults sharing the two bedrooms. (Note that the second bathroom is far away from the bedrooms off the garage, so it's more of an emergency location than a regular one.) The keyless code entry for the front door is also nice.

It was chilly for southern California during our stay, and the heat upstairs worked well. This place would be even better in the more typical warm spring and summer weather, when one could enjoy the patio dining area more. (Note that the downstairs living area, which is quite spacious, is also unheated...this wasn't a problem for us, but it's something to think about in the wintertime.)

We enjoyed our stay here very much, and we'd definitely stay here again when in Long Beach to visit family and friends!
