Idyllic, relaxing, quiet space to rest and rejuvenate
My family and I have rented several vacation homes, but we’ve never had the experience we had in this beautiful cottage. Not one detail was forgotten, and there were so many small surprises and pleasant details that I can’t imagine we’ll be staying anywhere else when we visit Long Beach. Our hostess went well above and beyond anything we’ve ever experienced. The property was quiet, clean, relaxing, and left nothing to be desired. The area was safe and inviting, the beach was a very short, pleasant walk away, and the local shops and restaurants were amazing.

Lovely cottage in great location
Before we arrived, i received a detailed welcome packet that told us all about the cottage, the codes to access it upon check in, it's contents and local restaurants and attractions. The hostess was so friendly and helpful. The cottage was stocked with so many extras that made our stay better. Beach chairs,a cooler, bikes, coffee, paper plates, etc. We would definitely return!!

This place really is the best
Staying in Suzanne’s cottage is like visiting the home of an old friend. The beds are comfortable, and the living room, dining room, and kitchen are spacious. The kitchen is well stocked with pot, pans, spices, and small appliances, and the Suzanne leaves out some nonperishable snacks to greet you. The house is in a great location with tons of food options within a few blocks. We did not have a car except for one day-trip to Orange County for whale watching. There is so much within walking or biking distance or any easy bus or Lyft ride away. Suzanne is a very attentive host, and I highly recommend this cottage.

Beach stay with grandma and grampa
The cottage was the perfect spot to be. Beaches are close, lots of choices for good eating, a day trip to Disney, and a home away from home feel at the cottage. It provided for all our needs and more and Suzanne was an amazing host. We would definitely use this cottage again!

Perfect beach getaway home
Why would you stay at a faceless hotel when you could stay at this perfect little home by the beach. Indoor space is perfectly sized for 4 adults with a full kitchen, living room and two great sized bedrooms, outdoors you can enjoy a private back yard dining space and out front sit in a great little spot in the front yard and engage with your neighbors and passersby. The ocean, bay and restaurants and bars are all within an easy walk of the house. On street parking is hit and miss to get right outside the house, but just drive down the street till you find a spot, if you move your car while you’re staying, you’re doing something wrong! We have stayed at several rentals in this area, this is by far our favorite. We took the bikes out for a nice relaxing cycle along the beach path and stopped for a cocktail (or 2!) along the way. The hosts were so accommodating and let us check in early at no additional cost as they had no bookings the day before our arrival and checked in with us everyday. This place is a hard 5/5 stars.

Short trip, perfect location
This was the perfect house for my adult daughter and me. The house came fully equipped with everything we needed. We were able to cook as if we were in our own home because of all the available pans and utensils. The air conditioning was an added bonus. Loved the easy keyless entry and exit. The beds were comfortable and the decor was inviting. The walk to the beach was so easy! Before arriving, I was afraid parking would be an issue, but thankfully we were always able to get a spot nearby every time. Thanks for a great stay!

Great! Just like all the ratings and reviews. 1 block to 2nd street for food, drinks and shopping. A few blocks from beach. Great kayaking in the Naples canals!

We had a wonderful time at this sweet beach cottage! It's a great location, central to many restaurants, shops, and the beach! I am obsessed with their vinyl collection and enjoyed listening to various albums each morning. The kitchen is well appointed for those who love to cook. Parking can be a bit tricky on certain days, but the little lot 2 houses down is the perfect solution. Our hosts went out of their way to make sure that we were comfortable during our stay!

Perfect Vacation Rental in Belmont Shore
We had a wonderful time at this rental. It was my wife and I and our two daughters (5 and 2) and the space perfectly accommodated us all. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen we have ever experienced in a vacation rental, with spices, snacks, drinks and everything and more you would need to cook meals. The host Suzanne went above and beyond and responded immediately whenever we needed anything and even mailed back something we accidentally left at the rental. The front yard sitting area and backyard sitting area are both very comfortable and relaxing. The location is a minute walk from the restaurants and shops on 2nd street but far enough away that you aren't exposed to noise from the street. There is also a lovely fenced playground just across 2nd street that we took our girls to everyday which was really convenient. No parking is provided but we were able to park on the street right next to the rental every time. You do have to be comfortable parallel parking though. This home is a 10-15 minute walk to the nearest beach. We didn't really mind and enjoyed walking through the beautiful Belmont Shore neighborhood on our way to the beach.
