    Great for Beach & Family

    April 04, 2013

    First, this location was great so we could be within walking distance of our "kids" & grand kid's home. Plus the beach - what more could you want? The accommodations were perfect, staying in the "Master" with its large space and bath area. Richard's breakfasts included three of my favorites (pancakes, french toast and waffles). He and Susan are wonderful hosts. Highly recommended.

    We stayed at this B&B after taking my dad for a doctor's appointment at UCLA. My father was really feeling down after not hearing very encouraging words from his doctor. We stayed at this B&B because we needed a safe quite environment for him to relax. Richard and Susan hospitality was amazing. They welcomed us with open arms and made us feel very welcome. They served us a wonderful breakfast and my dads spirits were lifted when we headed out for the long ride home. We will always remember this special night. God Bless you both.

    Home away from home! Very nice and comfortable!

    May 06, 2012

    We rented the entire house in April 2012 for a family reunion with 3 parties staying here from Honolulu and Seattle. The house was extremely comfortable for our group with 4 bedrooms (3 upstairs, 1 down) and 4 bathrooms (2 upstairs, 2 down). Cooking was minimal but the kitchen was well laid out, easy to navigate and store our food. The lower level back bedroom and bath were perfect for our senior and the upper level bedrooms were fine for the kids, parents and single guests. The large dining area was perfect for our group. The laundry center on the upper floor was convenient. We appreciate Richard & Susan's hospitality and hope to visit again! Mahalo & Aloha, Ron & Melinda Seattle, WA

    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in The Master room. Susan and Richard are gracious hosts and made us feel most welcome. We will definitely be back and have already told numerous friends about By the Beach.

    Wonderful stay!

    January 18, 2011

    I recently spent 5 nights in the yellow room. Richard and Sue were excellent hosts. The breakfast was amazing and they were able to accommodate my gluten-free dietary needs. The house was comfortable, very clean and so welcoming! My husband and I were able to enjoy the warm weather on the patio every morning. It was a delightful place to have coffee, breakfast and just relax! We will definitely be back!
