So relaxing - we hated to leave the property!

This little studio is a hidden gem! My husband and I loved it. The charming place came ready with everything you might need for a comfy stay. We opened the door in the morning to enjoy the fresh ocean breeze, listen to the birds and enjoy the beautiful back yard. We are so thrilled to have found this special place with close proximity to our family and all the fun things to do in this beach community. And the owners are wonderful. We will be back!

Love this place! Second visit and definitely plan to return!

The place itself is just perfect! Private little casita with all the amenities and the yard is lovely. Miriam is so sweet and helpful, and there if you need her. The location is great, close to everything, and a great neighborhood.

lovely hosts, and lovely clean, well situated cottage.

we arrived to a spotlessly clean quiet, cottage. It's close to the beach, shopping, and a multitude of restaurants. parking was never a problem and our hosts were charming and very helpful and knowledgeable with things to do and see in the area. we would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking of staying around Redondo beach, far more affordable than Santa Monica or Venice.

Cute and comfy home away from home!

The little casita has everything I could have asked for! Miriam really went out of her way to make my stay nice, and the little touches, water in the fridge, pretty soap and lotion in the bathroom, special creamers for the coffee and tea, were greatly appreciated. I look forward to coming back next year!

Everything you need

Miriam and Adam have a lovely place. My wife and I stayed here for the past five nights. The cottage is near everything and has a Starbucks right down the street!. The VRBO is comfortable, very clean, quiet and has a very good internet and tv connection. We would certainly come back.

We had a short but sweet stay in Torrance. We were in town for my sister's baby shower and the studio provided a clean, quiet and safe place to chill and sleep for our weekend trip. The space was immaculately clean, which I really appreciated. And although we weren't there during the day very much, it also had great light with a lot of big windows (with blinds). Would highly recommend.

Lovely, cozy, garden cottage!

So glad that I chose this cottage instead of staying in a hotel. Was in town for an intensive training course for a form of behaviour therapy that I’m implementing into my clinical practice. After long days of learning this was the perfect quiet spot to rest and recuperate! Thank you!

This is a lovely studio with micro and fridge which you only need for snacks because there are a wealth of dining opportunities within a few miles in any direction. Miriam was a gracious host, checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed but still giving us privacy. There is a lovely patio area with couch, table and chairs. The neighborhood is fun to walk in and the beach is a little over a mile away. We will be sure to stay with Miriam any time we are in the LA area.

Wonderful Perfect for Us

Hostess very gracious. Accommodations: lovely, clean, new, easy parking and welcoming. I appreciated all the little things. The artwork, the games, the coffee station, and on and on and on. The location was perfect for us. We were here for some beach time. Easy Come and easy go. We had barbecued steaks the first night. We didn't use the patio but wow it is lovely. I don't know one thing that could have been added to this beautiful Studio Cottage. It met our every need

Exactly as advertised! Plus more peace & quiet

Exactly what I was hoping for! Property owner lives on the property in a detached building. I had total privacy, and uber peace and quiet. Not too far from the beach and freeways. This is a tiny apartment. In excellent condition. Microwave and mini-fridge were fine with me, but be aware , no cooking. Owner came right over when I asked for a folding chair to do work. Amazing response! Very nice and accomodating owner. One thing, I travel with my own pillow, and was glad I did.. personal taste for sure however. I wouldn't hesitate to return!

Perfect base

This was a charming cottage that met our needs perfectly. Part of the beauty of the place is that although the owners live there, the unit is far enough away from the main house. We never saw the owners, but knew they were there if we needed them. The cottage is located in a residential area, with plenty of street parking. We were able to park close. There were three steps up from the side walk to the gate that leads to a fenced yard. There is a fence all around the property. We heard a few sirens, and faint barking dogs, but for the most part it was nice and quiet. We spent three nights. We like to attend a local festival held every year in late September. One of our friends who knows the area recommended a Peruvian restaurant located about a 10 minute drive from this property. The restaurant is called El Pollo Inka. It is well known for its chicken dishes, but it has beef and seafood as well. As I vegetarian, there are typically few options, but I enjoyed the fried rice. The dessert of pumpkin deep fried donuts with a honey sauce was marvelous. We went to the beach and there was a small fee (maybe $3) at a toll booth type building where one enters the parking area. There were picnic tables and restrooms. They even had outdoor showers with a foot wash/lower faucet. Although we did not use them, it was great that there were two beach chairs and an umbrella. We utilized the wi-fi that was available and had no problems. The pod coffee maker was stellar and much appreciated!
