Thelma was very responsive and friendly, the house is fantastic. Peaceful landscaping and decor, comfortable beds, plentiful amenities including spices for cooking, extra pillows and incredible daytime and nighttime views. The sun rises OVER THE OCEAN, y'all!! We celebrated Christmas and a 60th birthday with the dearest friends and family and would be delighted to return to this great house. Thank you, Thelma!

Nice quiet neighborhood. House pretty well cleaned. Liked the labels on the kitchen cabinets and drawers as it made it so easy to find items! Beautiful view at night and fun to watch cargo and cruise ships and sailboats in and out. Easy to get around. Grocery and restaurants close by. The outside deck was great. Communication with owner was fantastic. The house served our family well - the only drawback was that the microwave didn't work - easy to take care of! Would stay again.

The Zen house was a welcome reprieve for our staff after a busy two day work event. We appreciated the endless views, location, and amenities. We ate dinner on the deck and watched a large owl hooting to its partner. The next night watched the clouds turn pink during sunset and then light up in a thundertorm .

The home is very nicely decorated and spacious. The deck is large and has great seating to eat outside and enjoy the views. All the gardens that you can see from the bedrooms were a very nice touch. I wish we had more time to stay and relax. Our group was in town for a wedding out on the Palos Verdes Peninsula and if you stay here make sure to explore the area. It’s also a great location if you plan to do any activities in the Long Beach Harbor area.

This was one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever stayed. The gardens around the home are gorgeous. The home is gorgeous. And the view is nothing short of amazing. It is possible to see much of the view of LA from there. We were lucky enough to watch the fireworks from across LA on the 4th of July. It is like having front row seats! During our stay, we easily took the ferry to Avalon, Catalina Island to see the bison, Santa Monica Pier, and Beverly Hills. And the beaches around the corner are just amazing!! A little taste of LaJolla or Santa Barbara cliffs in LA! Definitely visit at low tide! We tried to enjoy as many meals as possible on the covered deck. This place is a gift. Thank you so much for sharing this gem with us!

Amazing view!

From the minute you walk in you’re facing a spectacular view! The deck is enormous with lovely sitting areas and at night the patio lights come on automatically. The house itself is warm and relaxing. I did have to contact the owner and she responded immediately! I would definitely recommend this listing!

Priceless View

You'll find yourself just staring out the windows all the time. How could you not? Everywhere you stand you can look out to the view. It is so much better than just an ocean view because there is so much depth, dimension and activity. I loved it!

Beyond what we'd imagined

We arrived after dark. Check in was easy and the charm and appeal of the house was evident immediately upon opening the front gate. And then we entered the house, and that first glimpse of the view from the wall of windows took our breath away. The view was dynamic and different at every time of day. We were 6 adults in town together for a family wedding and this home suited us perfectly. Location was ideal in a lot of ways. Close to the coast, close enough to the city, a quiet neighborhood with conveniences nearby. It was one of the best equipped VRBO we've ever stayed in: kitchen, bath, linens, laundry/iron, tv/Wi-Fi. Thanks, Thelma, for your hospitality!

Our family of 6 traveled from Reno to Long Beach area for a couple days ! The house was absolutely Beautiful, clean, plenty of room for everyone! We went out the first night and stayed in made spaghetti dinner the second night while the boys had an afternoon of golf at a Trump course ! We sat on the patio and enjoyed wine and the views and let me say I didn’t ever want to leave ! We also walked both days in the neighborhood and all the neighbors were soooo incredibly nice. If I find myself in this area again I will be back to stay in the Zen house !! Thank you so much Thelma for being so awesome! The Schultz Family ❤️
