Long beach is beautiful, clean and filled with places to eat and things to do. Staying at Mariannes place keeps you close to everything but tucked away enough to have privacy. It was a step away from the tourist areas, I felt like a local on the private beach front and chatting with the people passing by on the boardwalk. The views from the house are spectacular and the boardwalk is charming. The space is large and perfect for families and included lots of supplies like body soap, hair soap/conditioner, tons of towels and blankets, kitchen supplies like seasonings, tin foil, pots and pans, plates, bowls, mugs etc. Not to forget all the beach chairs, toys and bikes. Marianne was very quick with replies and was very accommodating. Check in and out was no hassle. I would love to come back and stay again!
