Roof deck. Bay on one side,
Pacific on the other.

Walk one block to the Pacific. Walk one mile to 2nd Street restaurants. The roof deck gives you the whole sky — bay to the north, ocean to the south. Best in early morning and at sunset.

Rated 9.9/10 on Booking. The light up here is different — you get the bay on one side and the Pacific on the other, and from the roof deck you can see both at once. Walk to the beach in two minutes flat.

The area

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.

"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."
