Wonderful place
We had a great time at this place--it was as described. Lots of light coming into the living room/dining room area--central to our get-togethers. We enjoyed the backyard with the hot tub and pool. I walked down to the beach or explored the beautiful neighborhood every day. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Location
We had a lovely time with family here, There was an issue with the oven not heating correctly when we contacted the owner they provided us with an small tabletop oven which was sufficient for our needs.The property could benefit from some TLC but nothing that would affect any stay here. The location was ideal its a lovely safe neighbourhood, close to beaches and shopping.I would recommend a stay here.

Great Location, Poor Condition
I'll summarizes what we encountered as best as possible to provide a true report of the condition and usability: Pros: * The house was located in a nice neighborhood with Redondo Beach and Redondo Pier nearby. * Layout of the house is good, with 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 downstairs, though one of the downstairs bedrooms was a pass-thru room to the laundry. Cons: most everything else. * The condition of the house was so poor that we departed one-day early. * Beds were made and things looked tidy at first, but otherwise it didn't look very or feel clean. * Pillows and mattress covers are badly stained, including the ones on at least one bed on arrival. * Dirty light switches, dirty windows and counters in the kitchen. * Floors didn't appear vacuumed or cleaned in a long time with hair and dust balls around/under beds and furniture. * MOLD on nearly every window sill and tracks, especially in the downstairs bedroom which we found after lifting the blinds. I say found, because 3 of our 5 family members started coughing pretty bad the day after we arrived and it lingered until the evening after we left, which was a day early. We had windows cracked every night just to try and air out the house a bit. * The stove and oven did not function properly, which a previous guest noted that one side didn't work back in the fall, but we couldn't get either side to work, only a couple of the stove top burners. Many more negatives but review length is capped. Would NOT stay again!

Thanksgiving stay
We stayed here for Thanksgiving...however, ther was a double oven...the large side didn't work. We ended up squeezing our turkey into the small little oven, then had to bake all the side dishes one at a time after the turkey. The owner dropped a nice gift card to make up for the inconvenience. They couldn't get a repairman to respond because of the holiday. The hot tub was Luke warm when we arrived. The digital displays were clouded over so you couldn't read them . So, figuring out how to increase temp was impossible. So, we didn't use it. They were missing some of the basics in the kitchen. Couldn't find a can opener that worked. Some of the cupboard doors were jacked up and wouldn't close...we had a toddler so it was a bit bothersome. The backyard was lovely. The owners communicated well. The house overall was comfortable and had some great potential...but needed touchup paint indoors to make it look fresh.

Amazing outside area
We loved spending time with the family in this cosy house with the great outside area. We also loved the small golf course down the road.

“Cottage” in South Torrance needs renovation
The description is misleading. I guess that “cottage” means “run down”. The house would be acceptable, even quite nice if the owners took the care to update it to today’s rental standards. The owners clearly do not care about giving their clientèle a positive experience. The bathrooms, doors and windows are terribly run down, probably have never been renovated. The upstairs bathroom sink is too small to even wash one’s face, and no countertop. The kitchen dishes were mismatched and chipped—the best ones had a Christmas design. The dishes and frypans were probably leftover from the 70s, as were the bedsheets—synthetic and non-matching bedsheets. Having said that, the backyard and pool area was lovely as is the neighborhood. In my view, it would be of minimal cost to bring the rental up-to-date considering the price the owners ask. It is quite insulting to veteran travelers/house renters to find this level of 30 or 40-year old remants of dishes, sheets and toys in the cabinets, and bathrooms that are not up to standard. My husband had to wait all day for the So.Cal gas technician to show up to investigate a bad gas smell one morning. Very disappointing and not up to usual VRBO standards.

Wir haben uns in dem Haus sehr wohl gefühlt. Vom Kontakt mit Tasha, den Check in bis zur Abreise war alles absolut problemlos. Pool & Whirrpool waren Top. Waschmaschine/Trockner waren vorhanden, was uns mit einer 8 Personen Gruppe sehr gelegen kam. Eine große Küche und eine Outdoorküche hat uns sorgenfrei mit Essen versorgt. Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet, die Betten waren bequem und wir hatten eine tolle Zeit. Alles in allem waren wir sehr zufrieden und würden hier jederzeit wieder einchecken. Zum Bus ist ein Weg von Rund 10 Minuten zu gehen- wir hatten allerdings einen Leihwagen und waren somit Mobil. Vielen Dank Tasha ---------------- We felt very comfortable in the house. From contact with Tasha, check-in to departure, everything was absolutely problem-free. Pool and whirlpool were great. Washing machine/dryer were available, which was very convenient for us with a group of 8 people. A large kitchen and an outdoor kitchen provided us with food without any worries. The house is lovingly furnished, the beds were comfortable and we had a great time. All in all, we were very satisfied and would check in here again at any time. It takes around 10 minutes to get to the bus - but we had a rental car and were therefore mobile. Thank you Tasha
