About this property

Craftsman Beauty Close to Beach in South Redondo Beach

An original 1912 Craftsman bungalo style home but with all the modern amenities that make life comfortable and easy. We are set in a location that makes it easy to experience everything the South Bay area has to offer as well as the greater Los Angeles area. We are a short walk to the Redondo Beach Pier, 3 miles to Riviera Village with all of the wonderful shops and restaurants, 3 miles to trendy and lively Hermosa Beach and 7 miles to upscale Manhattan Beach.

Stepping inside is like stepping back into time - with all of the modern conveniences of today's needs - Air conditioning, hi speed wi-fi, spa like bathroom, large back yard (by beach standards), assigned parking space, fully equipped kitchen, office area with wi-fi and printer. The house is tastefully and eclectically furnished with many crystals, geodes and unusual pieces throughout.

The main bedroom has a queen size bed and windows that look out into the private patio. It is quiet and cool with air conditioning and ceiling fan. The second bedroom is small and has a queen size murphy bed, its own bathroom, and private entrance through french doors that lead out to the back yard. The office has a very comfortable twin daybed.

The kitchen is equipped with everything you would need to prepare your favorite meals with Le Cruiset cookware, rice cooker, Vitamix blender, Kitchen Aid mixer, wine cabinet, etc. The outside area is perfect for grilling any time of year and there are multiple seating areas outside. The backyard is complete with a cozy firepit and seating area, fountains, and large farm style dining table for those warm evening barbeques with family.

Although we are a completely pet friendly home - the home is immaculate and without doggie hair or smells. We have a large fenced back yard which is ecure from all sides.

This is our own home which we are renting out while we travel, so it is well loved and cared for. We look forward to having our guests who will do the same!

Everything you need and more

This property was so cute. Lots of character and has everything you need more. The highlight is the great backyard with a fire pit and fountain. It’s even fully fenced so our pups could run around safely.

Perfection!

We have stayed at this beautiful home previously and it never disappoints. The location is perfect and is so close to the pier, Riviera village, grocery stores, etc. The outdoor space is spectacular and we enjoyed sitting out by the fire on the cool nights. Carol is always so considerate and checks to make sure we have no questions and that we have everything we need. We are already looking forward to our next stay! Thank you Carol for everything !

Such a beautiful place

We stayed here with our adult son. The house is so precious and tranquil. The yards are pristine and beautiful. It is a great location, a quiet area but close to anything you want to do (beach, eat, shop, etc.) The owners were so kind and easy to contact. You will not regret staying here!

Awesome again !

This was our second time staying here and it was even better than the first time ! The beautiful house is perfect in every way - all of the modern conveniences with the architectural charm of an original bungalow. The new outdoor space was amazing and we so enjoyed sitting out there every night with our dogs. Carol is a very conscientious host and checked on us to be sure that we arrived and had no questions or issues with anything in the home(which we didn't-everything was perfect). We hope to be able to stay here again in the near future. Love it !!!

Comfortable and beautiful home

Comfortable and beautiful home that worked perfectly for two couples. House is in close proximity to Redondo Beach definitely in walking distance to the pier. The yard is absolutely gorgeous and perfect little oasis in the city. Home is in close proximity to LAX as well that was a nice surprise. We would definitely stay at this property again and highly recommend it to others.

Beach Rental

We rented this place for 6 days and it was absolutely a great place. The communication with the owner was prompt and very easy. We would stay here again when visiting family in the South Bay. I have add we stayed here during a series of rain storms and still really enjoyed it, we can’t wait to return when the sun shines.

Lovely home with great fenced backyard

This is a lovely home that lived up to the listing. The owner Carol was wonderful to work with via email and text throughout the process of renting and then during our stay. She even checked in with us to make sure everything was good the day we arrived. There is a fenced backyard with grass and a large enclosure for the dog if needed. It has both sunny and shady areas to choose from. We also enjoyed the wisteria vine covered sitting area that looks out to the backyard. I only wish it had been blooming during our stay. There are lots of blooming plants that we enjoyed during our stay: Plumerias, Lantana and Naked Ladies are just the ones I remember now. The BBQ was pristine. Inside, the house is very tranquil. We only used the master bedroom bed and found it very comfortable. There was lots of closet space with hangers. Having 2 great bathrooms was a luxury so we each staked one out. We love a well appointed kitchen and this kitchen has it all. We cooked several meals and found everything we were looking for. The dining room, with fire place and orchids on the table, was welcoming for our meals. There is a driveway parking space that we didn't use as we have a large truck and were not wanting to block the sidewalk at all. We parked on the street and never had to look for a parking space away from the street adjacent to the driveway. The location has easy access to the beach and lots of shopping and dining areas. We will definitely try to rent this house in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Moreno

Host profile image
We met when we were each 50 and married 2 years later. We have spent our short time together raising grandchildren, rescuing dogs, travelling and buying real estate to revitalize and rent out. Now, we are ready to start travelling in between being home with our grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this original craftsman house because we couldn't stand the thought of it being torn down the way so many beautiful homes in Redondo Beach have been. So we have lovingly updated it to bring it up to modern day needs. It has become a home away from home for our grandchildren and a safe haven for our dogs and for the dogs we foster.

Now, its time for us to have the freedom to travel and enjoy our freedom while still keeping our home base.

What makes this property unique

Because this is our actual home, it is not generically furnished or outfitted. One of our passions is collecting rocks and crystals, and lately polishing and and carving them. So they are a central theme throughout the house and yard.
