Lovely cottage 2 miles from the beach in quiet neighborhood

This Lovely Cottage sitting on one of the most desirable streets in South Torrance, this home is one of the famed "Story book Houses" with pitched roof, quaint front porch and white picket fence. These homes evoke a charming feeling of yester-year, reminiscent of a simpler time of authenticity, . Downstairs you'll find a remodeled country kitchen with chef's grade appliances (Viking stove, Sub-Zero fridge), wine fridge, living room with fireplace, dining area, family room, two bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Upstairs are two more bedrooms and another bathroom. Think the house is great? The back yard is amazing! There are multiple access points to the huge backyard featuring a built in outdoor kitchen with BBQ, refrigerator and sink, stamped concrete, spa, and eight foot deep pool with diving board. This home is a short walk to Sea-Aire Golf Course, and the most festive Christmas holiday lights display the South Bay has to offer and 2 miles drive to the Torrance Beach or 3 miles to Redondo Beach

Hot tub wasn’t ready. Needed to be drained, cleaned and refilled. We lost 2 days of usage. Pool needed to be cleaned and pump wasn’t on. Sewage backed up into front yard and overflowed. Needed to stay till plumber arrived. Asked for partial refund but no reply. When problems fixed, everything fine. Appliances were all new.

Lovely stay in a well-equipped house.

Great stay in a lovely and very well-equipped cottage. The house had everything we needed for a stay of 7 days as a family with two kids. The location was, although not that close to the sea, in a very nice quiet neighbourhood. The house in itself was cosy and had a wonderful atmosphere. We would stay here again if we were in the area and needed a home away from home.

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.

Wonderful family home

Such a lovely place for making memories with family. Equipment for babies on premises. Light-filled home, large well equipped kitchen. Backyard oasis. It was better than we had hoped for, and we’ll never forget the fun we had here.

Great location and amenities

This house was a great fit for 4 adults – large kitchen and dining area, comfortable beds, hot tub, quiet location, and beautiful neighborhood. (They did have furnishings and equipment for babies, too.) Even if you have never played golf, I highly recommend walking up the hill to the city park to play a fun round on their 9 hole short course. The house is older so it is worn in places but in good condition. Although clean on the surface, the four star rating is because it needs a deep clean.

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.

Perfect for Christmas

Our usual Christmas family gathering spot is under remodel. This VRBO became the perfect substitute. We had a hiccup of the water heater going out. Tasha was on top of it and had it replaced right away. Small notes, for a big beautiful kitchen, it was shy of some basics. That and very few bathroom hand towels.

Great place to stay

This place was very clean and just as advertised. And our host was very quick to respond to every message sent. I do have to apologize for not cleaning as much as we would have liked prior to leaving. A late final night and early morning departure curtailed our intentions, so I apologize for that. And thank you for letting us stay in your home. It was a great experience and would definitely recommend. The hot tub and pool were used multiple times and were a great added bonus!

Nice House

The house was very nice and roomy for us. Except for no dish towels or hand towels the house was well supplied. Oven took a long time to heat up but did work. All in all we enjoyed especially the hot tub!

Great Stay in the South Bay!

This was our second stay at "Lovely Cottage..." and we love this house. The owners are so easy to communicate with and they respond almost immediately to questions via the VRBO app. Our flight from the east coast arrived early at 8:45am and although check in was not until 3:00pm we messaged the owners requesting early check in. They said the property was ready and allowed us to check in around 12:00pm noon. We lived in Torrance for many years, practically in the same neighborhood so we know the area very well. It always feels like coming home when we stay here. I highly recommend "Lovely Cottage...". We are already looking forward to our next trip back home to Torrance and our stay at this awesome house.

Great Location

This house was in a nice neighborhood and situated closely to shopping, dining, beach and more. We enjoyed the hot tub almost every day. The outdoor kitchen is a nice touch. A small park is within walking distance which made it nice for our kiddos. There is multiple opportunities for improvement that could make this a 5 start stay: overall cleanliness, no broom/vacuum to clean, pool heater not working so the pool was freezing, no wash cloths/hand towels or pool towels, couch was covered but kept slipping off and needs cleaned, the bed in the upstairs small guest room needs replaced as the mattress sinks to the middle, buildup in the tub/shower areas.

Spacious and Bright

We enjoyed our stay. Everyone had their own bedroom and shared the spacious kitchen, dining room and living room. We wished we had more time to enjoy the very nice backyard. We were pleased with the size of this home and how our family was able to spend time together on the main floor. The neighborhood was very nice, near the shopping plaza and better yet the beach. Less than 10 minutes drive to the beach, boardwalks and restaurants. Our issues were, the 2nd floor shower door needs to be replaced as it does not close and we had to place a towel on the floor to catch shower water. The kitchen faucet is broken and must be replaced. Very hard mattresses on the second floor bedrooms. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

Destination Los Angeles

The location is excellent. It's a short drive to everything we need. We did encounter some issues such as light bulb at the upstairs bathroom started to smoke. We contacted the host and was immediately repaired. We were not able to use the swimming pool because the water was cold and maintenance was done on a Friday until Saturday and was not available to use. The outdoor facilities such as patio chairs, tables are very dusty. The kitchen faucet and bathroom faucet seem to be on hot and quite difficult to get cold water. Other than those, my grandkids were happy and we had a great time.
