Beautiful antique architecture & furnishings. Classy & homey at the same time. Pat was very welcoming, accommodating, & genuine, & I enjoyed her company. She's a great cook too - makes delicious (& so nutritious & healthy!) breakfasts with plenty of options for a variety of tastes. My only thought regarding any improvements that could be made is that they were having technical problems with their tv & internet connection for a small portion of the time I was there, & the guest laptop is very basic & slow. The hot tub was also out of commission temporarily, but I would still highly recommend this place.

My husband & I stayed 4 nights in this lovely home while visiting our daughter & son-in-law. Ir was our second stay in 3 years. Pat & Courtney are delightful hosts, and Pat's delicious hot brekafasts were a highlight. We stayed in the Laguna Beach room this time which is the largest room. It was beautifully decorated & very comfortable. Our previous stay was in the Kennebec room which was a little small. The location is very convenient for area attractions with bus transportation right at the corner as well as being just blocks from the beach. Trendy shops and restaurants are nearby. Pat & Courtney are very helpful with suggestions if needed. The neighborhood is very pleasant for walks. Common areas are welcoming, and there are many extra amenities available for guests. Special needs or requests are graciously honored. Hosts are friendly, but not intrusive. All in all, we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and will definitely return in the future!

The Inn is a lovely quiet home that belies the busy street that runs along one side. Small but charming rooms with elegant shared living, sitting rooms and tasty breakfast provie extraordinary comfort.

We had a wonderful experience at the Beachrunner's Inn. We were looking for a place in downtown Long Beach and the Beachrunner is right in the heart of where we wanted to be. The inn keeper, Pat, could not have been more accommodating. The cost was extremely reasonable! In fact, I was a bit nervous about the inn and rooms, due to the price, but, our room, while small, was very well appointed. The inn was quiet adn situated in a sweet residential area. We took a very nice walk around the area to see the other historic craftsman homes. Breakfast was delicious! We will definitely return to stay at the Beachrunners' Inn!

The Inn has seen better days - it needs a little TLC but our room was very pleasant and clean. I would have enjoyed my stay much better during another part of the year because there is no air conditioning and even with a ceiling fan and a stand fan my husband and I were uncomfortably hot all night long. Some of the other guests expressed the same feeling at the breakfast table.

Room was small, but comfortable. Beachrunners' is conveniently located to many of the attraction in Long Beach. The breakfast is excellent.

From the moment that you check into the Beachrunners Inn, you step into a world of friendliness and tranquility; cleanliness and comfort; all within reach of Long Beach’s many attractions. I stayed in the Catalina Room on the first floor, which featured several well-appointed accouterments, including a queen-sized bed, television with DVD and VCR; a bath with a large shower and a separate dressing area with wash-stand. In the evenings, I was lulled to sleep by the soothing sounds of a fountain located just outside the window! In the morning, you’re in for a treat. The long hardwood table in the dining room is set for breakfast between 7:00 and 9:30 in the morning, where you will enjoy a veritable feast to start your day. Breakfast may include a choice of three cereals, assorted breads for toasting; fresh muffins; specially prepared fruit cups, your choice of coffee, hot chocolate, tea, milk or juice. Pat, who is the very kind and hospitable owner of the Beachrunners Inn, will ask if you would like to have a hot breakfast; and if you do, be prepared for a culinary delight! For me, she prepared an exquisite dish of scrambled eggs that were lightly seasoned with paprika and topped with light shavings of jack and cheddar cheeses, served with a side of two strips of bacon. Not too heavy, not too light, but a breakfast entrée that was just right The Beachrunners Inn is a place where you can go for total relaxation. Located just three blocks north of Long Beach’s Bluff Park and the beach below, you are just a short walk away from many of the splendors of this remarkable city. Whatever you choose to do throughout the day, you’ll have a restful and relaxing evening when you return to the Beachrunners Inn, your home away from home. - Mark Martin, Toluca Lake, CA

Me and my wife stayed in the Beachrunners' during a short stay in Long Beach to see our American friend who lived close by. We opted for the smallest room but found it clean, well decorated,quiet and very homely (with a beautiful ensuite breakfast). It's in a nice location and offers a good breakfast (get up early to get first pickings at the cooked breakfast!). Perfect for a getaway weekend.

Lovely little B&B that made a business trip much more personal. Lots of little details - complimentary fruit and snacks, cheap sodas & water, free DVDs for evening viewing. Good breakfast. Free Internet access. Friendly owners who made me feel at home. Rooms are small but comfortable - some rooms are to a busy street, so light sleepers should ask for a room at the back. Would definitely go back.

The rooms were small, but I expected this because of previous reviews I read. Cleanliness and the Service were outstanding. I felt very comfortable in this family environment and after spending 10 days there, I truly miss waking up to the wonderful breakfast setting! The area is safe, downtown is nearby and the beach path is incredible!

I am a single woman and very happy to recommend this B&B. I went out running at 5 am on the beach, and there were numerous other single women out running also. Nice neighborhood, middle-class workers. On the corner with a local feeder road, so some car noise but mannerly. Pizza and nice Thai restaraunt within 2 blocks. Parking is tight on the street at night but I found a spot both evenings within 200 feet, but don't count on it. Innkeepers are kind and Pat makes a lovely breakfast. Home is extremely clean and comfortable. Thank you! If you are interested, the tide pools at White Point/Royal Palms are wonderful and you get there by a highway over the port of Long Beach which is a stunningly intricate operation.

We very much enjoyed our six days at this nicely decorated B&B, at the beginning and at the end of our vacation in Ca. The rooms are small but comfortable. And the breakfast was a highlight: a variety of good food, china plates and metal cutlery, a relief for us Europeans.

Beachrunners Inn is in a great location in Long Beach. It is only blocks from the beach and great local restaurants. The rooms are definitely on the small side, but they were very clean and in such a great area I don't know how much time you would want to spend in your room anayway. The innkeepers were friendly and the breakfast had a good variety of food. They have a hot tub in the backyard and high speed internet available.

My family and I loved our stay! We stayed for three nights while in town visiting family. The owners are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. They were very welcoming to our young daughter (even setting out a special place at the table for her at breakfast and kid-friendly healthy, food choices). Breakfast was fresh and convenient each day with many choices including fruit fresh from the farmers' market. The room was very clean and well stocked with all the basics (Eucalyptus shampoo, conditioner, soap, large towels, etc.). Plus it had some cool extras like lip balm, tension spot relief lotion, fluffy robes and slippers. Only downside was the size of our room; the Sunset was a little small for the three of us and didn't have a bathtub. It did have a very nice shower though and would've been very comfortable if traveling alone. We were impressed by how nice the common areas are to use, too. The living room had Internet access for guest use. Plus, the back patio is large and inviting with lots of plants and seating. The location is great too--only a few of blocks from the beach, art museum, a large park, and lots of cute shops/restaurants to peruse while walking. We'll probably return!

We had a lovely weekend here recently, and we're happy to tell you about it! First of all, have no fear - in congested Long Beach, the Beachrunners' Inn has reserved parking behind the inn!! The building is located only three blocks from the beach, in an area pleasant for walks. We stayed in the Catalina Room, which was small but cozy - just right for one person or a cuddly couple. The room was fresh, clean and bright, with clever use of space. Our hostess, Pat, was gracious and helpful - and a good cook! Breakfast included a selection of fruit and yogurt, granola bars, rolls, juice, cereal and milk, and a spicy egg and meat dish. We are looking forward to our next visit!
