Welcome home
Beach days, hot-tub nights, and a porch made for slow mornings.
This 1912 Craftsman has been lovingly remodeled with original built-ins, a brick fireplace and a contemporary beach-house feel. Light the fireplace, open a bottle of wine, sink into the spa — or watch the neighborhood go by from the rocking chair on the front porch.
It's ideal for families, couples and friends traveling together, and for business travelers who'd rather have a home than a hotel room. The house runs entirely on solar, so run the A/C guilt-free, and plug in your EV.

Is booking here the same as booking on Airbnb or Vrbo?
It's the exact same home and the same live calendar — you just book directly with the owner. That skips the booking-site markup, so the same dates typically cost about 10% less than on Airbnb.
Is it safe to pay on this site?
Yes. Checkout runs through Hostaway, the property-management platform that also powers our Airbnb and Vrbo listings, with encrypted card processing. You'll get a confirmation by email right away.
How does check-in work?
Self check-in with a keypad on the door from 4:00 pm. You'll receive your door code and house guide before arrival, and Ryan is a text away the whole time.
Where do we park?
The driveway fits two sedans, with additional street parking nearby. Long Beach has weekly street-sweeping on alternating sides of the street — check the posted signs (details are in the house guide).
Is the home good for kids?
Very. There's a crib, pack 'n play, high chair, children's dinnerware, outlet covers, a fireplace guard, sand toys and a bunk room kids love.
Can we smoke on the property?
No — this is a non-smoking home, inside and out.
Do you offer longer stays?
Yes — weekly and monthly discounts apply automatically at checkout. For extended stays, text or email Ryan and he'll help.
