April’s cottage is definitely a labor of love — the curated antiques and abundant original details of the house, left intact are so fun to stay in, yet the place doesn’t feel like a museum, but rather, it feels like an interesting old house of a cool artsy aunt.
I felt totally at home and cared for, due to the many inviting touches — snacks, handwritten note, little bud vases with fresh succulents from the garden, coffee with fixings, extra toiletries, comfy bed, extra blankets. It’s not super fancy like a hotel but nice like an extremely thoughtful friend’s sweet quirky house.
We also had an issue with Airbnb that April resolved with grace and generosity.
It was my first time in Long Beach and it was lovely. The house is very close to the beach and very walkable.
We highly recommend this place and would love to come back again, thank you April!
