Cute Cottage
Grace’s was cute and quaint with an expresso machine which was right up our alley. The location could not have been any better. Half way between my best friend and the beach. This was awesome and our best night sleep ever!!

perfect location
This property had everything one would need. A wonderful supply of everything from toiletries to kitchen supplies. Grace, the hostess, was. very gracious and replied immediately to all of my queries. The apt was extremely quiet and its location was less than a minute away from restaurants, beaches, and shops. How much more more could one ask for?!

Belmont shore studio
Great stay at Grace's studio apartment. Everything anyone could want is provided. Great apartment for single or couple. Close to beach, restaurants and shops. Only drawback is parking is difficult to find. On the positive side, you don't need a car. I'm an elderly woman and could walk to everything!

Charming Cottage, Great Location
I stayed for a few nights and the location was perfect - just a few blocks to 2nd Street as well as the bay and ocean. The studio was quaint, very clean, and charming with everything you need for one to two people. The bed was very comfortable and it was quiet. Grace is a wonderful host!

Everything we needed, clean and well equipped!
My daughter and I stayed at Grace's place while in Long Beach for a regatta at the Alamitos Bay Yacht Club. The studio was a very comfortable home away from home, with a super comfy bed and everything we needed, from the well equipped kitchen to the laundry facilities. Grace was extremely responsive and helpful too. Thank you for hosting us!

The perfect Belmont Shores getaway
As advertised. The cute place was the perfect setup for my Belmont Shores getaway. Was happy to see the room still had the classic Long Beach the vintage feel with just enough modern. Utilized the desk to get my work done then enjoy the patio and the beautiful small space landscaping. Host was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend

The property was very nice and very home like. It was small which gave it a nice feel and wasn't overwhelming at all. as far as the location goes, it is 2 blocks away from any restaurant you could want, close to the mall and movie theaters as well. We would absolutely recommend this place as well as stay here again
