we loved the amount of bed rooms and bath rooms. beds could use updated were pretty uncomfortable. very nicely stocked for everything you would want for towels, pans, chairs, the outside grounds had so many sticker weeds that the kids and the two little dogs had several in their feet the kids sand with swing and the volleyball court. The house is very convent to the beach and the little stores in town. Overall great place

Something for Everyone
Having two houses gave our extended family plenty of room spread out. The teens and younger liked to hang out in the game room with the pool table and the video game machine. All of us gathered in the big house's theater for movie nights. We used the firepit in the yard for roasting hot dogs and smores. The dog loved running around the fenced yard. Our only complaint would be that the yard and the kid toys in the yard have run down since we were there two years ago. The swing set, tunnel and playhouse all need renovation, and the sand boxes, gardens and patio need to be weeded. Even so, this is our favorite place to stay in Ocean Park/Long Beach. Not only is there something for everyone to enjoy, but being able to walk to Jack's Country Store, restaurants and the beach makes it the perfect location!

Family Gathering
The configuration of this property was perfect for our family group. The large fenced yard was great because we had two dogs and two small children. Most of the furnishings are a bit worn, for us that was fine. The downstairs queen bed in the guest house was noisy and uncomfortable. The kitchens were extremely well stocked. The hot water heater in the main house is very small, likely because of concerns about overloading the septic system. So showers and baths need to be staggered. The living room is small so it’s difficult to gather a large group in one place. Overall we were happy with the rental

Great group getaway!
This property was a great spot for our family to get away for a weekend, but would also be amazing for a much larger group. It's a short walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. The yard was perfect for letting our dogs get some energy out, and the playground was fun for the kids. Our only complaint is that the property must struggle somewhat with ants. We were not leaving food out for any length of time, and yet found some in the kitchen.

What an awesome place!!
Loved staying so close to the beach - just a quick walk away. Couple of good food and coffee options around. And we cooked in this very well appointed kitchen. The folks really thought through everything that could be needed. Only suggestion would be to add a cover above the hot tub. Lovely week long stay.

Birthdaypalooza!
We have 4 birthdays within 9 days in August, and like to bring all of the extended family together to celebrate. It is sometimes difficult to find a suitable place for all 9 adults and 5 kids to stay together. This filled the bill, and the large kitchen and dining area were great for us. Proximity to the beach was paramount!

Family loved that the house is within walking distance from the beach.
Family absolutely loved it. We want to make it a family tradition and vacation there every summer. Only issue we found it was a bit messy needed a good sweep. Other than that I highly recommend this rental home!

The managers were EXTREMELY helpful and accommodating when we had to shift our dates because of snow! The backyard and playground kept our kids and dog happy! Just steps from the beach, country store, coffee shop, etc. The house was well equipped and charming. We will definitely be back!

I hesitate to say how much we liked this property lest it become unavailable. It's cute, comfortable, and well stocked, with everything in great condition. We particularly loved the massage chair! The convenience to the beach, Jack's General Store and the Rusty Spur can't be beat.

Brenda, thanks so much for the great review. We hope by the next time you stay, we will have the huge 100 x 100 lot fenced in and a playset and volley ball court installed so you can have your own private playground/yard! You forgot to mention Adalaides, the only place coffee shop on the peninsula that also serves ice cream and light meals. It is just across the street from 1303 Beach Retreat.

Easy access for those who want to drive on beach
If driving on the beach is your thing, this is a good place to stay as it's right on the road to beach access. It makes it a little trickier to use this beach when you have younger children. The house is big enough to house a good-size group, but be aware that this is a very old house and the floors are very creaky. Not good if the people upstairs are up later than the downstairs people. The two king beds both need new mattresses. They were lumpy and uncomfortable. Two of the living room chairs should also be updated/replaced. The kitchen is well appointed, and thankfully there is a large room off the kitchen where you can put the food you bring, etc. We did have a very good time as an extended family, as there is lots to do in the area. We also enjoyed playing games at the big table.

Hi Eveyln and thanks for taking time to review 1303. People love how close it is to the beach and town. To address your concerns: 1) the king beds are 14" pillow top and originally over $3,000 beds. You are the first to comment that they aren't awesome, but if others are not happy, we will replace them. 2) House is fully remodeled and upstairs floors a little creaky. Usually not an issue, but important to point out that night owls might sleep downstairs 3) agree on living room chairs-we are on it and they will be upgraded soon 4) thanks for bringing up the extra large table and we do have the hot tub. The cabin next door will soon be taken down and we will be offering a huge fenced yard with a playset for kids and a horseshoe pit. We take every review as an opportunity to improve. best, Robbie Owner 1303 and Bloomer Estates Vacation Rentals

Very Nice!
Everyone in our party truly enjoyed our stay. The house is beautifully appointed with all the conveniences one could want. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped as were all the bedrooms, bathrooms and the laundry area. We loved the close proximity of the beach and local stores. Sunsets viewed from the upper deck were outstanding. Thank you for helping to make this such a special family gathering.

We loved it!
We had four nights here for my granddaughter's 2nd birthday. We just made a family gathering out of it and had plenty of room for everyone. The house is quite nice, it was clean and well stocked with everything we needed to cook and stay there. The surrounding area was nice, the beach is close and it was just a short drive to Long Beach where we had good restaurants and plenty of shopping and things to do. We would definitely stay there again.
