STAY HERE!!!
This place was perfect! We celebrated Thanksgiving with my family here (pre-approved by owners) and loved it! There were plenty of pots, pans, cooking bowls & utensils to do the cooking. Also, plenty of cups, plates, and silverware to accommodate everyone! The older ones enjoyed a movie in the front room and the kids enjoyed playing in the larger family room. This place came with everything you would need to have an enjoyable stay! Also, the backyard with a grill allowed for us to make delicious steaks for our family another night. Then the fire pit allowed us to make s’mores which my nieces and nephews loved! Everything was amazing & I am definitely going to book here again when I visit my family in LA.

Central location and cute/cozy home
Home was clean, cozy, and cute. It really felt like a family home. Neighborhood was quiet and the location great for us. Backyard was really private given it is in a city. Nice to have air hockey and foosball tables in the garage for our son. Would stay again.

Beautiful, comfortable, homey, and great amenities!! Looking forward to a future stay!!
The theme and decorations are lovely and welcoming. The feeling is quite homey - a home away from home - with a comfort and secure feeling. The Knotty Whale is not only packed with amenities, the quality of the bedding, towels, papers, appliances, and so on, are top notch and add to the overall comfort and experience!! Susan stayed on top of things and with an effortless (and customized) entry, great documentation, and follow ups, everything was seamless!! Thank you for our wonderful stay Susan!! 🙏🙏

A great place to stay.
This house was superb for our needs. We were there with two of our sons and one of our sons wives. There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out but still stay connected. The house is outfitted very well and the kitchen is well stocked with spices and condiments. I would strongly recommend this house for anyone requiring three bedrooms. We had no trouble getting to any of the places we wanted to go and the Los Angeles area as it is close to the freeways.

The home was complete with amenities, towels, sheets and pillows available. The kitchen was fully stocked and cleaning materials even available. The house was decorated and had all the furnitures available. The backyard bbq was an added bonus. Truly felt like it was home away from home!

Very Nice Home!!!
We had a very good experience at this home. The Knotty Whale is clean, updated, comfortable and stocked with all of the amenities needed. The neighborhood is fantastic, well maintained and we felt very safe staying there. It is close to many grocery stores and all of the fun things one may want to experience in Long Beach. If our travels take us back to Long Beach we will definitely reach out to the hosts who were very gracious.

Knotty Whale was perfect for our stay!
The ocean themed home was fabulous. We all felt so comfortable and relaxed. Plenty of room for all eight of us. Teens were entertained and not bored. Peaceful and clean neighborhood, very close to grocery stores and places to eat.
