Long Beach Retreat
We only stayed here one night to attend a graduation, but we absolutely loved the place. The pictures are great, but you won't really get just how charming the place is till you're there. It was plenty of space for 3 of us. Loved the little balcony and the writing/reading corner. We all slept great on the 3 beds: the beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet, even with the windows open overnight. We were there on a Wed night and we always found a parking spot close to the home along the street. We didn't cook there but it looked like everything you'd need was there. We enjoyed walking 5 minutes to breakfast at Park Pantry and being so close to everything we needed to access. Even with the hosts living in the downstairs home, we never heard them and our upstairs home was quiet and private. Pamela was always quick to respond and was accommodating of our schedule. We'd stay here again and highly recommend.

Luxury Beach View Apartment
What a gem! If you find yourself in Pacifica this is a must stay if available type of place. Thank you Frank!

The Well Ocean View Bungalow #5
Great spot! Really cozy and well appointed for its size. Cute back yard. Hosts are really communicative. Summerland is sleepy but that's what we like about it. Would definitely come back.

Private romantic 1 br in Carmel Woods- love dogs
We love staying at Susanne’s place. Very central located. Can’t wait to return!

Forty feet from Pacific Ocean
We absolutely loved, and would recommend Matthew's vacation rental. We have stayed in Oceanside several times for a quick get away and this lovely location is by far our favorite. We hope we will be able to return in the near future. A parking spot is right in front of the property, Matthew's check in and out instructions are clear and easy to follow, the location cannot be beat, with the ocean and private beach just steps away. The interior has everything you could possibly need, it was clean and well stocked. I personally appreciated the binoculars and decaf coffee. It was wonderful to sit outdoors and watch dolphins, seabirds, surfers, dogs happy to be on the beach, and relax to the sound of the waves. There are many great restaurants nearby, and plenty of activities and places to visit in and around town. The best part was the feeling of being in our own little private sanctuary. Thank you to Matthew for being a fantastic host!

SA Beach Suite #3 by Stay Awhile Villas
Very beautiful place. Right on the beach by Malibu pier! Amazing sunsets! The condo is a very attractive looking and like new conditions. The staff are amazing and helpful. Great communication. Honestly, this is a Paradise. Can't wait come back here! Big thank you!!!!!!!

2nd Street Suite 2 Blocks from the Beach
The place was very nice and comfortable, felt right at home. All amenities were there and everything was within walking distance. It’s small but not too small just right for vacation in Long Beach. 100% recommend to anyone that needs a get away and lounge around at home!

Mount Tamalpais View — the Heart of Marin County
My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary, and you cannot beat the view. We spent a couple evenings on the patio watching the sunset on Mount Tam. It was breathtaking. The space was clean, comfortable, and pretty quiet, so if you're looking for something that feels serene and peaceful, this is it. Shanna was easy to communicate with and was extremely kind. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to stay in Marin County. Super close to everything!
House rentals with beach access

Ocean View Spa House
This property is amazing in every way. There’s a view from the ocean from almost every room, beautiful tile work and gorgeous, well appointed bathrooms. A sauna and extra hot hot tub. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need. The house itself is beautiful with private spaces, but also a large living room where everyone can gather around a beautiful tiled potbelly fireplace. It’s a short walk to the beach through a charming neighborhood. The host Rebekah was very communicative and generous, allowed us flexible, check-in and check out. I will 100% be staying here again.

Oceanfront Home in Pacifica, CA
Beautiful place with a beautiful view. It’s exactly what you see in the photos.

Ocean Front Beach Cottage with Hot Tub & Fireplace
Cannot complain such a beautiful place for me and my wife’s anniversary great views and great walks loved it

Sweeping Ocean & Mountain Views, Private
I had another fantastic stay at Kathy’s Airbnb! The drive along Corall Canyon offers stunning views of the ocean, Santa Monica, Palos Verdes, and Catalina Island. Kathy’s home features incredible sunrise views, with gentle morning fog below. The open layout connecting the bedroom, living room, kitchenette, and bathroom creates a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Kathy is a wonderful host, always responsive to my needs. If you’re seeking a serene getaway with gorgeous vistas and a lovely host, I highly recommend this place!

Oceanfront Home & Private Beach Access
Joanna’s house was a wonderful place to stay with our family. The view is amazing, even better than the pictures, we were content to just sit and relax looking out at the ocean for most of the time. The yard was great for our dog to run around in, and the nearby beach was really fun to explore as well. We hope to return soon!

Little River Retreat
We loved our time here. It was clean, in a wonderful location, very comfortable bed and wonderful bathtub!

Private Coastal Home with hot tub and ocean views!
I would highly recommend staying here. Beautiful property inside and out. Loved the location and the city of Trinidad. Great hub for us as we hiked the Redwoods. The beds were the most comfortable I’ve slept in on vacation! Thank you for sharing your home with our family.

Ocean views from every room!
Wonderful Location. Just what the Soul needs!
Condo rentals with beach access

Malibu, Carbon Beach - Oceanfront Suite Seven
This place was absolutely beautiful with an amazing view of the water! Beach access was also great to have very close by! It was great being able to fall asleep with the sound of the waves! Amazing air bnb to stay at!

Luxury Oceanfront Condo with Unbelievable Views
Beautiful spot on the 6th floor of basically the only tallish building around. The views were incredible and the location was great. Nice quiet area, right on the ocean, and the sunsets were insane. Nice and clean.

Cabo San Pedro - 1 bed - Stunning Ocean Views
We had a fantastic time. The view was second to none, with easy access to the beach and restaurants. Kitchen was clean and had everything we needed. Great coffee shop within walking distance (albeit with a decent hill). We happened to stay when whales were just off the coast and saw them from the shore. Could not have asked for a better day. For those with mobility issues - you do need to climb about 10 narrow steps to get to the tram, which lets you skip the rest of the stairs. But there is no way around those first steps. Would absolutely come back.

Hamilton Cove Panoramic Ocean View Condo #2/32
No words! We LOVED this airbnb - it was gorgeous, clean and spacious and just wonderful. Trevor was a responsive and friendly host. You can not go wrong with this rental!

Amazing Zen Villa! HotTub LittleItaly Convention C
Wonderful stay!! First- the bedding! The level of comfort was more than I provide myself at home!! I didn’t want to get out of that bed!!!! The hot tub and sitting area was absolutely amazing. You feel transported to another world when you walk outside. Lovely hosts! Very responsive! The home is beautiful and they work very very hard to provide a level of privacy you dont expect to be possible. Truly a perfect spot to enjoy your time in SD. You’re right next to everything, yet you feel as though you’re in a secret oasis! Don’t hesitate and book: you will not regret it!!

Beachfront Luxury Vacation Condo in Oceanside
Our family had a wonderful stay. Paul is a great host. It is such a convenient location with a quick 2 minute walk to the beach. There are many other nearby places from the pier to various cafes, and shops. The pool in the complex is also family friendly. The place was super safe and secure. Very clean inside. Parking is easy and convenient. Check in was smooth. The location is 15 minutes away from Legoland. We would recommend it for others to stay.

The Daisy Suite - 1920s Studio w/ Ocean View
This place was very nice. The building was amazing and I enjoyed all the antique qualities about it and the friendly tenants. There were so many extra touches left for us. Close to everything, but that also meant that it was very loud at night until things settled. We were there on a long weekend though. I would stay there again without hesitation. The team stayed at a hotel and this beat it by far. Megan was amazing and responded within minutes. so, so nice!

Charming Cozy Coastal Dana Point Condo
We were so pleased to be able to stay at Elizabeth's once again. It is without a doubt the prettiest place to stay. The location is great for eating out, shopping or just walking around the harbor. Elizabeth's place is always set up and squeaky clean. It's just darling and we will return again just as soon as we can.
