Location was great! Close to beach and restaurants. Was able to walk everywhere. When we arrived everything cleaned and well stocked exactly as described. Would highly recommend!
Great location just a few blocks from the beach. Host was great! Communication great. Comfortable place with all the amenities that we needed. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. We stayed for 7 days and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Belmont Shores, Long Beach
We had a great time. The property is wonderfully located between second street and all its happenings and the beach. There are lots of beaches around. We particularly liked the ones on the peninsula with minimal waves. Susan was wonderful to communicate with throughout our stay.
