The Sailor’s Nest - Cosy Condo By the Sea

We really liked the layout and lots of space. It was very quiet at night, during the day if you were home it was kind of noisy. There are only shears in the living room so not much privacy at night. Jerome, the owner was super nice and responsive! The gas was out the first night in the entire building and he refunded our full nights stay!! He was great. The property was close to the beach, shopping and restaurant’s. We really enjoyed our stay!

This place is not for 4 adults. There was only one bed and a futon type love seat. The host had a kitchen with limited stuff..no air conditioning and there is no parking or to find parking is horrible.

It was great. Felt like going back in time to the 1920s. Parking was a nightmare though. And it was rough not having air conditioning, but it says it all in the reviews unfortunately I wanted to feel what it was like in the 1920s vs air conditioning, I’ll choose air conditioning next time.

I really enjoyed staying at this apartment while in Long Beach - the space was very clean, the kitchen had ample cookware and the bed was comfortable. The location is great, right next to the bus stop and close to a large grocery store. The host was very accommodating with the check-in time and responded quickly. Would definitely stay here again!The only thing worth noting is that you can hear everything that happens right outside the apartment and the apartment complex is quite active during the day - if folks are having a conversation outside it's as if it's happening in the room. This isn't a problem if you plan to be out of the house during the day, at night it's quite peaceful. Additionally, the curtains in the living room are completely sheer which means there's no privacy during the day and especially at night. The space would be perfect if they got some thicker curtains for the living room.

My stay was just ok. While the condo itself was cute/quaint and I loved the big bath tub, the use of a bike, and the proximity to the beach. There was far more that I didn’t love. The area was very noisy (constant people in the courtyard/street and use of a leaf blower in the courtyard for over an hour at 8 one morning). The grass out front wreaked of dog urine. The bedroom windows are giant so opening them for air flow since there is no AC, lets anybody in the courtyard look right into your bed. Besides that, there were no curtains in the kitchen and sheer curtains in the living room. While the non-dark living room curtains are visible in the property images, I was unaware until evening set in that outside people would be able to see straight into the unit when the interior lights are on. There also was no toilet seat which was a nuisance due to limited counter space. Also in the bathroom, the floor mats hadn’t been cleaned (the white portions were brown tinted). Lastly, the bed frame was cheap and creaky and the couch fabric was scratchy. I would have just given this an average rating, especially since the owner was very communicative before/during my stay. However, 3 days after check out, the owner tried to charge me for additional cleaning and stained bedding in the couch, even though the bedding was dirty when I arrived and I found a cockroach during my stay. After working with VRBO customer service, they encouraged I leave a full and honest review.
