Such a cute cottage - loved the history of it as presented in the decor. It had ample space for 6 of us, was clean, well-stocked with the necessities, and the location was fabulous! We will definitely stay here again. Thank you for making our stay easy, convenient, and so fun!

Great place and location.

Seems to be harder to find homes on the beach front that aren’t massive. This was the perfect place. I am used to staying down further from the pier about 42nd street. But I am now sold on being closer to the stores and restaurants. This house had everything we needed. Will be coming back.

We had a fantastic time at this sweet cottage. We loved having a cute sandy backyard for when our kids weren't at the beach. Close to the beach, shops, and restaurants.....we had a blast! This place had everything, so well stocked...loved it.

Great little house

This house was perfect for our little family of 4. The house is perfectly located to the beach and we were able to walk to all our favorite spots. The house had everything we needed and the backyard and garage were a great bonus. Would gladly stay here again!!

Close to beach and everything you need

We enjoyed playing freebie and attempting to surf. The home and area was clean and seemed safe. The kids and I appreciated we were not on the main boardwalk, and when you step out of the front door, you can see the beach. I would love to stay there again.

This was a great property in a perfect location. I parked my car in the garage and never had to drive. We were able to walk to everything or ride the bikes that were part of the rental. I would definitely rent this adorable cottage again.

Much needed visit

W COVID I haven’t seen my children and grandchildren for 10 months. So I secured this ideal location for us. Most live close so only a couple stayed but when all were here the house was great.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Rippon

Host profile image
I, Matt, am a high school teacher living in Fullerton, and my twin sister, Becky, works for her husband's family business in Upland. We both have young families and enjoy staying at the beach house whenever we can.

Why they chose this property

Our family has owned this property since 1910. We are blessed to own it as it has provided four generations of fun and fond memories. We are excited to share our modest, lovely cottage with you. Come, stay, relax, and make memories again and again.

What makes this property unique

Although the beach is just steps away, we also enjoy sunbathing with our favorite beverages in our private backyard. If someone has had enough sun, he or she can move to the shade of the brilliant natural canopy of our beautiful bougainvillea... and oh, that Pacific Ocean air!
