Charming 2-bedroom house near beaches and Pier in wonderful Redondo Beach

The area felt very safe and was mostly quiet. Property was clean, bright, and a lot more room than we expected! Host was welcoming and did not have a long list of rules or cleaning expectations. It could use some basic instructions for the elevator and espresso machine (a basic coffee maker would have been nice.) The driveway is tight and garage is pretty small for most vehicles-especially a rental big enough for lots of luggage. We got used to maneuvering the space after a couple days. The garage door has an emergency pull handle for manual closing/opening that is very long and actually got stuck in the passenger door when we closed it and wanted to always get stuck in the roof rack of the Mercedes. We had to have one person stand and hold it away from the car while trying not to get their toes run over each time we backed out. We ended up having to put a loose loop in it so it wouldn't catch on the car. The garage door also opens and closes very "rough." Not a big deal until one of these times it's not going to slide on it's track. We did notice a musty smell as soon as we came in and then also in one of the bedrooms. We opened a couple windows and didn't notice after that. However, a day before our check-out we discovered a leak in the closet by the entry door that appears to have been there for some time. I notified the host right away and they were sending out a plumber so most likely not an issue now. A lovely property! Close to the beach, comfy beds, would stay again!

Beautiful, Spacious House with Relaxing Balcony Spaces! Beautiful house with great balcony views! (The stars, city lights, and fun architecture of surrounding houses). Kitchen was beautiful! Close to the beach, and easy access to the places we needed to travel to. A couple small quirks, like the bathroom drawer coming open regularly & the motion lights outside, but overall an amazing place to stay! Don't let those quirks stop you! Super easy check in, and the host was extremely helpful with local recommendations and quick resposes to our questions! Please note the garage space and area in front of garage are fairly compact - it took some getting used to, and lots of careful turns. There's a hill going down to the unit, and a narrow driveway, so it was much easier to back into the garage than to try to turn around before leaving. We had a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee - I would not recommend larger as it barely fit in the garage, and made for tight turns getting in and out of the driveway. We got the hang of it, but go with a smaller vehicle if you're reluctant to drive/park/turn around in compact spaces. There is some street parking, but it seems to fill up fast. Garage is on the lower level. 1st floor: 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, front door. 2nd floor: Kitchen, living room, full bath, balcony #1. 3rd floor: Laundry, wet bar, balcony #2. Elevator for luggage & groceries (very helpful!). Next time we're in the Redondo Beach area, we will definitely rent here again! (As long as we don't have a larger group). Overall WONDERFUL stay!
