The Zen House with Panoramic Harbor, Ocean & City Views!

From the moment you enter the property, you’ll feel the Zen. Leave your shoes at the door, walk through the house where panoramic ocean and city views will take your breath away. Relax and watch the sailboats and ships go by, and when the sun goes down, the harbor and city lights will sparkle like jewels below. Each of the 3 bedrooms opens to a tranquil courtyard. Relax on our deck, practice yoga, or BBQ. We welcome you to find your Zen high atop San Pedro in the quiet South Shores area, which borders Rancho Palos Verde. We’re a 1.3 mile walk to White Point beach, minutes to 110 Freeway, 5 miles to Long Beach. Minutes from the harbor. A Perfect location if you’re heading out on a fishing trip, sailing to Catalina Island, or going on a CRUISE.

  • Last year I spent the day driving around Los Angeles with a couple of photography friends. As we arrived at the Korean Friendship Bell I shot this picture while my buddy shot his composition standing next to me! I honestly didn't care for this picture when it was shot and we were going to reshoot during a sunset at a later date...then my friend died and I have found a different level of appreciation for this picture! I will always remember his generosity, crazy sense of humor, and his love for his two children! RIP Thomas Allen Gartner III

Amazing view!

From the minute you walk in you’re facing a spectacular view! The deck is enormous with lovely sitting areas and at night the patio lights come on automatically. The house itself is warm and relaxing. I did have to contact the owner and she responded immediately! I would definitely recommend this listing!

Great stay

The pictures perfectly represent the property. We especially appreciated how quiet everything was and how fantastic the views are. Can imagine to stay there again, if travel brings us back. Thelma was very responsive and helpful. We had an issue during check-in, which results in the slightly lower rating for that area, everything else was great.

Priceless View

You'll find yourself just staring out the windows all the time. How could you not? Everywhere you stand you can look out to the view. It is so much better than just an ocean view because there is so much depth, dimension and activity. I loved it!

Deserve the praises!

Beautiful view and equally awesome host! I don’t think I have ever been to such well thought out rental home. The telescope and popcorns had won us all over. The location is great and close to grocery stores. We could even hear peacocks one hazy morning! The beds were a bit too soft for us, however all we had decent sleep. Thelma was super prompt in responding and helpful throughout the stay!

Amazing !

Our family of 6 traveled from Reno to Long Beach area for a couple days ! The house was absolutely Beautiful, clean, plenty of room for everyone! We went out the first night and stayed in made spaghetti dinner the second night while the boys had an afternoon of golf at a Trump course ! We sat on the patio and enjoyed wine and the views and let me say I didn’t ever want to leave ! We also walked both days in the neighborhood and all the neighbors were soooo incredibly nice. If I find myself in this area again I will be back to stay in the Zen house !! Thank you so much Thelma for being so awesome! The Schultz Family ❤️

Beyond what we'd imagined

We arrived after dark. Check in was easy and the charm and appeal of the house was evident immediately upon opening the front gate. And then we entered the house, and that first glimpse of the view from the wall of windows took our breath away. The view was dynamic and different at every time of day. We were 6 adults in town together for a family wedding and this home suited us perfectly. Location was ideal in a lot of ways. Close to the coast, close enough to the city, a quiet neighborhood with conveniences nearby. It was one of the best equipped VRBO we've ever stayed in: kitchen, bath, linens, laundry/iron, tv/Wi-Fi. Thanks, Thelma, for your hospitality!

The home is very nicely decorated and spacious. The deck is large and has great seating to eat outside and enjoy the views. All the gardens that you can see from the bedrooms were a very nice touch. I wish we had more time to stay and relax. Our group was in town for a wedding out on the Palos Verdes Peninsula and if you stay here make sure to explore the area. It’s also a great location if you plan to do any activities in the Long Beach Harbor area.

The Zen house was a welcome reprieve for our staff after a busy two day work event. We appreciated the endless views, location, and amenities. We ate dinner on the deck and watched a large owl hooting to its partner. The next night watched the clouds turn pink during sunset and then light up in a thundertorm .
