Walk to Sandy Beaches from a Blissful Home

Lots of natural light, beautiful color scheme, art displayed by local artists. This home offers a comfy, cozy environment making it perfect for a getaway or your home away from home while on business. BONUS - If you are a "pet parent" and love to travel with your 4-legged child you will love the fact that the front door has a "doggy door" making it easy to go outside, which is fully fenced and safe. Guests have a private garage (with opener) which allows direct access for parking your car and going up the stairs to your vacation (or work) oasis. Guests have access to a fully fenced outside area with table, umbrella and chairs. This area is perfect if you like to sit outside and enjoy your coffee. And if you are a "pet parent" this is where the doggy door allows your "child" to go. Our property is a two-on-one and we live in the front house. The homes are separated by a courtyard that is fully enclosed via fencing, which we use. We will be present during our guests stay so we are happy to assist any way possible to provide our guests with a great and enjoyable experience. In Belmont Heights everything is within walking distance, and all the homes have charm and character. It is a lovely, quiet, and friendly neighborhood. The area's long-time feral parrots serve as mascots and add to the vibrant feel. It's easy to get around. We very centrally located between LA and The OC. Airports: -----> Long Beach Airport (LGB), 5 miles (north) -----> John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana (SNA), 20 miles (south) -----> Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), 24 miles (north) Attractions: -----> The Aquarium of The Pacific, 3 miles (west) -----> The Queen Mary, 5 miles (west) -----> Knotts Berry Farm, 18 miles (north/east) -----> Disneyland, 21 miles (east) -----> Universal Studios, 35 miles (north) Surrounding Cities: -----> Long Beach, 3 miles (west) -----> Newport Beach, 23 miles (south) -----> Santa Monica, 32 miles (north) -----> Beverly Hills, 34 miles (north) -----> Malibu, 50 miles (north) -----> San Diego, 100 miles (south) -----> Palm Springs, 108 (east) This beautiful home is located above a 4-car garage so there are stairs up to the front door. The guests garage is the one on the right as you are in the alley looking to park in garage. NOTE*** If your car is too large to fit in the garage (typically this is a large SUV, truck, or vintage automobile) PLEASE park behind the garage without blocking the other garage. There is plenty of room behind garage for a large truck to park there and still have room to open the other garage, which is our personal garage that we (Jim and Susan) use. If parking behind garage do NOT leave anything in your vehicle overnight. Even though this is a very safe and quiet neighborhood do NOT leave anything visible, just for good measure and common safety.
