Enchanted Cottages By The Sea — Hotel in Long Beach

This rental property has two buildings: one building is a standalone 2-bedroom house, and the other is a house that's divided into three rental units--one on top, one on bottom, and one in the back. I am reviewing the 2-bedroom house, which is called Serendipity House. I can't say enough good things about this property! It's location in Seaview is in walking distance to the beach, and very close to a few good restaurants and a brewery. There's a fenced yard, which is great for a dog (and a toddler). The kitchen is the best-equipped rental kitchen I've ever seen; it had as many appliances and cooking tools as my own kitchen, including sharp knives, a crockpot, full sets of pots and pans, everything in brand new condition. The owner said he plans to add a BBQ and crab boil in the near future. The house was extremely clean, the mattress is very comfortable, and the whole place is beautifully decorated. I could happily live there. The owners are extremely nice, and they're working hard to make a go of these rentals. I'd happily stay...

I absolutely love this place! I've stayed here twice now in Hollyhock, which is their smallest space. For just me and my 2 kids, it's perfect! I love that it's not a huge hotel with tons of rooms, therefore tons of people. It's small, quiet, and close enough to town to go back and forth as much as needed. I love the improvements they made since our last stay. The adjustable bed and dimmable lamps above it were such a wonderful touch for this book worm that loves to read before bed! The mattress was apparently brand new, according to the owner, who I met on this recent stay. It was so comfy! I don't normally sleep well outside of my own home, but it was so comfortable I slept surprisingly well. Having the little kitchenette is nice. I could cook for us, so we didn't have to spend money eating out for every meal. We will definitely be making Enchanted Cottages our regular place to stay when we visit that part...

Nice, cozy place to stay. The things I care about and not much of the things I don't care about. We stayed in the "Capitan". It was the only upstairs cottage I saw. It was cozy bordering on small. I don't go to the beach to stay inside, cozy isn't an issue. The bed was fantastic! I slept very well every night! No premium cable then again if I want to watch tv, I'll stay home. There is Netflix and a DVD player and a Redbox at Sid's Market, again, who cares. There isn't a shower, but there is a sweet cast iron claw foot bath tub with a hand sprayer. I prefer a shower but I can make the tub work. No daily maid service but clean towels were cheerfully delivered when requested. Nice little kitchenette but who goes on vacation to cook when there are so many great places to eat? Enjoyed my stay and I will...
