About this property

“The Tree House” near beach, King beds, free parking

2-bedroom (each with King bed w/ memory foam) 2-bath detached house with a fenced yard,
3 blocks (10 min walk) from the beach. 1.8 mi. from the downtown on a safe and quiet street in the heart of the Bluff Heights historical district (a hip, artsy neighborhood frequently used for filming movies and commercials), surrounded by other Craftsman homes, with one reserved parking space, large wrap-around sundeck, central AC, free laundry room, beach gear and a private garden (Help yourself to the passion fruit, oranges, lemons and concord grapes when in season).

The space
The master bedroom with en suite bath has a king-size bed with Tempur-Pedic memory foam. Second bedroom has also has king-size bed with a Tempur-Pedic memory foam and an adjacent second bathroom.

The house has been updated with new furniture, a 55” 4K HDTV , central air conditioning and heating. There are ceiling fans in the master bedroom, living room and second bedroom.

The house has been furnished to a high standard throughout and includes:

• Spa quality toiletries
• Hair Dryers, Ironing Board and Iron.
* Beach Chairs and Beach Towels

Guest access
Guests have a private parking space which allows for direct access to the entry of the "Tree House". Guests have access to their own fenced yard/garden and a private sundeck.

Other things to note
The “Tree House’ has one flight of stairs (12 steps with a firm hand rail) up to the entry. Our “Tree House” has its own foundation

The "Tree House" is located on a safe and quiet street (Winnipeg Place) in the historic district of Bluff Heights, an artsy, hip, LGBTQ+ and family friendly neighborhood. If you like Craftsman California Bungalow, custom and historical homes, this is the place. The charm of the many classic Craftsman style houses of our neighborhood frequently draws film crews for TV and movie filming.

We are near the corner of 3rd st and Obispo and an easy walking distance to the 4rth St. Retro-Row specialty shops and restaurants as well as those on 2nd street, Belmont Shore. Within a couple blocks guests can walk to shops, spas, restaurants and bars including The Attic, Starling Diner, La Parolaccia, and the Belmont Brewing Company. Wine lovers will enjoy tastings at the local wine store, The Wine Crush (one block away). On weekends, enjoy the local farmers markets and during the summer the free outdoor concerts at Bixby Park and free outdoor movies at the beach. Water taxis are available at the nearby Belmont Pier taking you to Shoreline Village, downtown and more.

The nightlife in downtown is a short bike or car ride away. The boardwalk and bike paths along the entire stretch of the Long Beach oceanfront begins just 3 blocks away.

There are numerous nearby places to rent bikes (regular and electric) and scooters.
Here is some additional travel information:

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION --

We are one block away from bus stops connecting to Downtown, convention center and the light rail train/subway to downtown LA, Hollywood, Pasadena, Universal Studios and the LAX airport.

Public transport in downtown Long Beach is readily available (connecting downtown to the Queen Mary, Shoreline Village, the Pike, the Aquarium of the Pacific and other attractions). Water taxis (Aqua Link and AquaBus) operate seasonally departing from the nearby Belmont Pier and fees vary.

For information on the light rail/subway service to downtown Los Angeles see the MTA website.

WALKING -- Long Beach is pedestrian friendly. We are located within walking distance to an amazing array of art galleries and museums, cafes and restaurants, unique shops, nightlife, theater, the beach and every water activity.

DRIVING -- Easy access to 4 major local freeways. We are conveniently located between LAX (25 minutes), Orange-County SNA airport (20 minutes) and Long Beach airport (5 minutes)

BEACHES. We are located near 3rd Street and Redondo, about 3 blocks from the beach. A short walk or bike ride in the summer will help you avoid the hassle of beach parking and then you can return to the peace and quiet here. We are not far (10-25 mi) from some of the most beautiful beaches in the world (Malibu, Santa Monica, Venice, Huntington, Newport, Laguna) but you will need a car for these.

LOS ANGELES. If this is your first visit to Southern California and you intend to travel to see the sights, you should know that the sites in Los Angeles are spread out and it is very useful to have a car. Popular day trips for our guests are Disneyland, Universal Studios, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and Venice Beach. San Diego and Palm Springs, Catalina Island and Santa Barbara also make for easy side trips.

The Long Beach CONVENTION CENTER is 1.8 miles away and can easily be reached by bike, on foot, or local bus if you would like to avoid parking fees. My suggestion: walk 10 min to Ocean Boulevard and catch the bus 121. ($1.25) to downtown (there is a stop right at the Convention Center) or take a $5 Uber from here and avoid the parking hassle.


Interaction with Guests
We live in the main house in the front of this large double lot and are available if you have any questions, but will respect your privacy otherwise.
The two houses feel quite separate and private separated by trees and foliage.

Little Oasis
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Nelson’s place. He has put a lot of effort into making a beautiful garden around the balcony. You will feel like you are in an actual tree house! The home is well equipped with everything you could possibly need, including beach chairs and umbrellas. It is in an excellent, convenient location with your own parking space. Very secure. The only downside for us were the super soft beds, but other than that we loved our stay. Nelson is an excellent host and we highly recommend his property.

4 of 5 stars
All and all we really enjoyed our stay. Communication was great. The owner met us and walked us to the rental. He even helped carry our bags up to the house (I was traveling with a couple elderly ladies).Very very nice. Upon arrival, there was a welcome sign on the counter with 4 large chocolate chip cookies. Such a nice touch. :) On the listing it showed that there was also a hot tub we could use. He stated that it should have been taken down from the listing. But since I saw it still up on Vrbo, he set the hot tub up for us and even provided 4 bath robes. So accommodating. On the negative side, the unit had a foul odor. Like cats or mildew. The unit was clean but we couldn't get rid of the smell. We used some cleaning supplies and opened the windows which really helped. Also, the bed looked lumpy so it made us nervous, however...the beds were extremely comfortable and we had great nights sleep. All in all, great place for how affordable it was. :)

Perfect Family Getaway
Staying at The Tree House was perfect for our family getaway. The property had everything we needed in order to relax and just enjoy our time away and we really appreciated having a designated parking spot. If you're looking for that special place with all the comforts you need, I would recommend a stay at The Tree House!
