LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION . . . This lovely cottage centered just off 2nd. St. is in the most desired area of Long Beach - BELMONT SHORE. For those warm summer temps, a "GEM" of a property with A/C as well as a PRIVATE GARAGE. Why not stay where it's an easy five minute walk to all of the nice boutiques, pubs, restaurants, beach and bay? If you're bringing children, your older kids will love the beach on the peninsula with waves or . . . we're also close to the bay where youngsters can sit along the water with sand toys where the water is calm and "wave free". Enjoy water activities close by . . . kayaking, windsurfing, sailing, or just floating around on a raft. Sailors also love our location as we're a 10 minute drive to the Alamitos Bay Yacht Club (ABYC) our property is the perfect location for those out of town Regattas!

The kitchen has it all - french door refrigerator, double oven with convection, 6 burner gas range, dishwasher, microwave and 12 cup coffee maker. If you enjoy cooking outdoors, our new BBQ awaits your grilling expertise! Whether you're enjoying the warmer summer months or the cooler winter season, central heating and air conditioning will keep you feeling comfortable!

We're equipped with high speed internet, FREE WiFi, cable, three flat screen TV's - a 50' flat screen in the ”family” room, “master” bedroom and one in the middle “queen” bedroom. We provide high quality bed linens, towels, and there's no need to bring a blow dryer as we keep two on site..

Take advantage of the coastal air . . . relax, sunbathe or BBQ off the private gated side yard or newly built back yard seating area with daybed. If you're a "people watcher" enjoy the table and chair set out in front under the umbrella during those warmer summer months!

Once you've arrived at Maison de Fleurs cottage, you don’t really need a car to enjoy Belmont Shores, Naples, Belmont Heights, several beaches or parks nearby because you're in close proximity to just about everything on foot. Our property is close... yet just far enough to enjoy a little peace and quiet to read a book or take a nap!

For some of the local activities: Take a tour of the famous Queen Mary, visit the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific or if you have time - take the ferry to Catalina island. Go whale watching and most likely you'll get to see some dolphins frolicking alongside the boat. Again, there is quite a large selection of restaurants, bars and boutiques within walking distance. You might enjoy riding a bike or walking along the canals of Naples Island to look at beautiful homes, boats and/or beaches. If you don't feel like walking, consider a gondola ride and relax while you enjoy the scenery by water! Visit the Long Beach Art Museum or our local Performing Art Center.

For your convenience, we have provided a notebook on site with detailed information on restaurants/menus, activities, etc.

**Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm is a 30 minute drive . . . or take an Uber/Lift and bypass parking fee.

If you're visiting the Long Beach Convention Center, we're a 10 minute drive along the coastline. There’s also an “hourly” bus that will also shuttle you to Shoreline Village a- another area with shops, restaurants and sightseeing.

The property is an easy drive to South Coast Plaza, Huntington Beach's popular 'surf city' or Seal Beach. Look at the map and see how close you are to many of the great destinations Southern California has to offer.

For questions on availability, feel free to call Kelly for any questions you may have!

AIRPORT SUGGESTIONS
(LGB) Long Beach Airport - (15 minutes from property)
(LAX) Los Angeles Inter. Airport (35 minutes from property)
(SNA) Orange County Airport is (30 minutes from property)

Timewise, LGB is much easier getting 'in and out' of than LAX as it's much smaller and very close to our cottage. SNA (also known as John Wayne Airport) is also a smaller airport and located in Orange County. Timeframes can vary depending on the time of day and current traffic conditions.
