Welcome to beach access Victorian bungalow, a unique retreat nestled in the ocean side of Long Beach, CA. This charming abode blends the timeless elegance of Victorian architecture with the serene aesthetics of Japanese Zen Garden and California Succulent Garden. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a warm atmosphere adorned with period details and modern comforts. Outside, the meticulously landscaped gardens offer a peaceful sanctuary. Our Victorian bungalow promises a truly memorable stay.
As you step into the Victorian Bungalow through the timelessly detailed screen door and 115-year old refinished original door, relax in the cozy living room while watching a movie on the 85” big screen, or challenge each other to a game of Jenga!
The bathroom features a deep, walk-in bathtub with a pullout shower, and beautiful tile surround. It’s specifically designed for the convenience of both young and senior folks.
The century-old patinaed brass/glass door handles guide your way into 2 comfortable bedrooms. Each can accommodate 2 adults. The large double-hung windows totally bring outside in, making the rooms appear bright, open, and full of green energy from the outside garden plants! If you find any glass door handles to be purple, that means it has been in the afternoon sun for decades. One of the doors has maintained a skeleton key lock system and is working perfectly after years of loving use.
The full kitchen has everything you need, including a Nespresso coffee bar! Sit and eat in the formal dining room, or head outside and enjoy eating in the garden, in any of the 3 seating areas. The garden area is also a great place to sit and have your coffee, or to finish the day with a glass of wine.
The building is fully equipped with new central AC system, to put you in cool during the hot summer days in Southern California.
The parking is inside the secured fence gate. The driveway is long enough to hold up any type of cars, including a pick up truck.
I have a very cute outdoor cat named Vega, she is very friendly, clean, also very quiet, fully vaccinated. She lives in the garage and hangs out in the gardens. If you are cat people, please feel free to play with her (per requests of cat-loving guests stayed here before).
The whole house is designed under the philosophy of Modern Zen, a combination of Japanese Wabi-Sabi and Victorian Revival. It’s a harmonious union of Eastern and Western motifs. Relax and rest in this Bungalow Oasis.
