Charming 2-bedroom house near beaches and Pier in wonderful Redondo Beach

I didn’t stay at this property because there was a gas leak. I was notified of this problem the day we arrived! We received a refund from the host but not VRBO. This survey does not apply to my experience. I expect a full refund of my remaining balance.

The area felt very safe and was mostly quiet. Property was clean, bright, and a lot more room than we expected! Host was welcoming and did not have a long list of rules or cleaning expectations. It could use some basic instructions for the elevator and espresso machine (a basic coffee maker would have been nice.) The driveway is tight and garage is pretty small for most vehicles-especially a rental big enough for lots of luggage. We got used to maneuvering the space after a couple days. The garage door has an emergency pull handle for manual closing/opening that is very long and actually got stuck in the passenger door when we closed it and wanted to always get stuck in the roof rack of the Mercedes. We had to have one person stand and hold it away from the car while trying not to get their toes run over each time we backed out. We ended up having to put a loose loop in it so it wouldn't catch on the car. The garage door also opens and closes very "rough." Not a big deal until one of these times it's not going to slide on it's track. We did notice a musty smell as soon as we came in and then also in one of the bedrooms. We opened a couple windows and didn't notice after that. However, a day before our check-out we discovered a leak in the closet by the entry door that appears to have been there for some time. I notified the host right away and they were sending out a plumber so most likely not an issue now. A lovely property! Close to the beach, comfy beds, would stay again!
