Mark·5·Jul. 2025· "From the moment we arrived, we knew we had stumbled upon something truly special đ! Buddy and Dinoâs home in Long Beach is nothing short of breathtaking ... perched right on the shoreline with amazing views from every room with a wrap around deck. The location alone is unbeatable, but what truly made our stay extraordinary were the hosts themselves.
Buddy and Dino are, hands down, the best hosts weâve ever encountered. Their graciousness, attention to detail, and genuine kindness made us feel welcomed, pampered, and completely at home. They went above and beyond in every way ... from the warm hospitality to the thoughtfully prepared, absolutely delicious food that added such a personal and heartfelt touch to our trip.
The home itself is immaculate, spotless, beautifully appointed, and filled with thoughtful design choices that reflect both care and character. Every comfort was accounted for, and the aesthetic was calming, bright, and luxurious without ever feeling pretentious.
We left feeling inspired and grateful âș . If youâre lucky enough to stay here, youâre in for something rare. Thank you, Buddy and Dino, for creating such a magical, memorable experience đâđâš"

Steve·5·May. 2026· "Terrific location, safe neighborhood, very close to downtown Long Beach and the freeway system. Jonathan was a sweetie, he knows a lot about the area (he's lived there for many years) and makes great conversation. The bedroom was very comfortable. The hot tub was a nice amenity. I would certainly come back again if I had business in the area."
