The area

Belmont Shore, Long Beach, CA

🏖
The beaches
Alamitos Bay beach is literally 50m from the front door — calm water, great for families. Walk 2 minutes the other way to the Pacific. Two very different beach experiences, same building.
🍜
2nd Street
Belmont Shore's main strip is a mile walk from the door. Dozens of restaurants, coffee, and bars. Walkable on a summer evening. Jasmin has a short list of her favorites.
✈️
Getting here
LGB airport is 10 min away. LAX is 30–45 min depending on traffic. 2 parking spaces included — one per unit. Street parking available on most blocks.

"We had the upper unit and the roof deck was the real star. Every morning with coffee, watching the bay wake up. Jasmin was responsive and thoughtful — stocked the kitchen before we arrived."

"Location is unbeatable. You walk out the front door and you're basically on the beach. The beds were the nicest I've slept in at any rental — Thuma frames, real mattresses. Perfect for a family of four."

"We booked the whole building for a family reunion — 11 people across both units. Having two kitchens and two decks made all the difference. Jasmin handled everything like clockwork."

"Best Airbnb stay I've had in three years. The roof deck views are 360° — you can literally see the bay AND the ocean at the same time. Walked to 2nd Street for dinner every night."

Runs the Peninsula from the ground up. Has lived in Belmont Shore for years and knows 2nd Street better than the restaurant owners do. She's the reason the reviews say "the host thought of everything."
