Charged for $52 towel???
Our stay was ok. No issues. We truly spent most our time away from the home. It was however truly unexpected and disappointing to discover the insurance we were required to get when we made the reservation was charged for a $52 towel. We absolutely didn’t take a towel, nor were the towels in the home $52 towels. Make sure you get the insurance so you’re not stuck covering charges.

Thank you for your review. I’m response to your comments about the insurance and tower replacement, the towel was part of a set so it cannot be replaced as it was ripped without purchasing an entire set. The reason you get insurance is so you don’t have to worry about things like that, as it is between the owner and the insurance company what the insurance is willing to pay for and if the claim is allowable, they will cover it. Thank you for booking at Hollywood Riviera, Casa Pacifica .

Torrance house
The property was very cluttered with personal items and did not appear to be very clean. The owner left her groceries in the fridge and a case of beer on the counter. The furnishings were old and the place was dingy. Check in was difficult because owner did not provide the code and we had to wait for her to respond to emails. It was evident that they were living there and we never felt that we had privacy. Other than location and a nice back yard I would not recommend this property. The owner constantly contradicted herself and seemed to have trouble getting her stories straight.

Great cozy house
Property was exactly as described, there were some spots missed by the cleaners but was otherwise perfect. Some neighbors were quick to complain to the host despite us going out of our way to be quiet, respectful, and follow all rules, so one can only assume they don't like a short term rental being in their neighborhood.

Thank you for your stay and your review. Thank you for letting me know about the missed spots in cleanliness, that is something that I am a stickler about so I will definitely have a word with housekeeping. Neighbors might’ve been hyper vigilant as it was New Year’s Eve but I appreciate your respectfulness and hope to host you again in the future. All the best to you and yours!

Perfect Family Gathering Place
This property was the perfect fit for my family to get together. My son and his wife live in a small apartment in Redondo Beach. The house was a great accommodation for my wife and I and our three adult children to do a family dinner together, relax and watch a ball game. Just like being home.

good size for a family gathering
nice place. i don't recommend more than 4 adults for overnight as the singles are best for children, but it is spacious.

Beach house
We had a great weekend at this house in a quiet comfortable neighborhood with a wonderful 30 minute walk to the beach! Natasha was more than accommodating and very responsive to questions that came up during our stay. We celebrated one of our daughters turning 30 and the outdoor space and layout of the house was so conducive to good family time. They have lots of games and also provided toys and boogie board for the beach. All around just what we needed to be together and celebrate.

Great location
Check in process was super easy. Very close to stores and a short drive to the beach. Kitchen stocked with dishes/cookware. Beautiful back yard that is very nice to relax in. Stayed with my mom, husband, 11 month old son, and a few friends. We had plenty of room :)

Great beach house for the whole family
We had a wonderful trip visiting family & the beach at this beautiful home! The 4 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms made it big enough for all of us (we had 2 littles & our nanny) and it had a gorgeous modern kitchen & backyard. We wish we had had more down time to just relax in the hammocks out back, but the yard was so great for the kids, The location was quiet and peaceful at night, but close to everything during the day. We especially appreciated all the beach accessories like chairs, towels boogie board & sand toys. The beds & pillows were comfy, bathrooms clean & whole home spacious. It’s a quick uber ride to anything or a great half hour walk to the beach, and also close to parks & grocery stores. Parking was good, and the host was so kind & easy to communicate with,. Only things to consider for a family is they don’t have a crib / highchair so you need to bring or rent your own; the master suite has a skylight so it’s very bright when the sun comes up; there is no AC (warm for baby’s daytime naps); & we didn’t have access to a washer / dryer (that I know of / forgot to ask). Overall a great place that we would stay at again.

Thank you for your stay Christina and for your review! No homes in our area have air-conditioning , the high temperatures during your stay were 76, 76 and 79°. We will get blackout shades for the bedroom to make it darker for sleeping during the day. I made sure the listing details show that there is no access to garage or washer and dryer but there is a laundromat close by. We appreciate your feedback, thank you and all the best!
