Spacious Coastal Apartment in a Colorful Community
The apartment layout is reasonable, the decoration is comfortable, and it is very convenient to move in and park. The kitchenware is very complete. The apartment is on the second floor and you need to carry your luggage upstairs by yourself. Staying here gives a very homey feeling.

1 bedroom apt // BEACH ACCESS // Unit A
What you see is what you get! The place is A+. A perfect place to retreat, enjoy the view, and easily walk along the beach or marina. We intended to be anchored here for two days and relax…and that was realized to the full. We didn’t even leave to eat out because everything we needed to store and prepare our own meals was in place. When check out time came, we didn’t want to leave.

Old School Oceanfront Beach Bungalow
I absolutely loved staying on the boardwalk. I knew what I was getting into - there are people running by the place and occasional noise at all hours but being right on the boardwalk is well worth it. Parking isn’t easy as the listing described but I had zero issue parking on Pacific Beach Drive just a couple blocks away any time I wanted. I look forward to calling Catherine’s spot my little beach getaway again!

Malibu Beachfront Paradise OceanView Apartment C.
We visited for our honeymoon. What a wonderful week it was. Waking up every morning to the sound of waves crashing into the beach and watching the sunset over the ocean each evening. We walked to the pier in the mornings and had dinner at Nobu which is also a short walk away. This was one of the most fabulous experiences I have had on air bnb. Zero complaints about this most excellent spot!

Mission Beach 1 BDRM w/ Large Ocean View Deck 714
My daughter and I had a great time! Your place is in an awesome location, esp being so close to beach/ocean! Loved that! Dan was very flexible/nice about Check in time and Check out time, which was very helpful!! The bed was soft/comfy. The only negative thing I could say was the “walking around noise” at times, being on lower level of an occupied upper level, especially noticeable in the early morning! We did have a noise machine that we brought, so that helped! (I did read about the foot traffic, once or twice, in other reviews, but overall, definitely still a very recommendable place!).

Studio Oceanview King in Beachfront Apt (207)
Outstanding place in a terrific location and a great, communicative, and lovely host. It's right on the water, so you can hear the soothing sounds of the waves crashing. The bed and home is extremely comfortable. There's tons of terrific things to do. The host is very responsive, clear, and kind.

Beach Paradise #1 3 Blocks to Beach! WIFI Cable AC
This spot is perfect for a group visiting Pacific Beach. Super close to the beach and all of the awesome restaurants and bars that surround it. This spot was great for hanging out at during down time, and was a great home base for our beach-going weekend. I would stay here again in a heartbeat while visiting PB!

Best Hermosa Beach Location Luxe Studio
Cute little studio apartment with everything you might need in a great location. I would definitely stay here again!
House rentals with beach access

Ocean Breeze Beach Home
Very accommodating - listed for three nights we asked for two nights and Robert and Arlina made it happen.

.:The Beach Hive:. Downtown Encinitas
The Bee Hive was so cute. We had so much fun. We love Encinitas. We parked our full-size suv in the designated parking spot and didn’t use it the whole time we were there. We walked to the beach, we walked to get coffee in the mornings, we walked to shops and we even did d 2 different escape roomed on 2 different days. We can’t wait to go back!

3bd Beach House A Strand of Paradise
Came here for our family Spring Break get away! We all had a wonderful time! The view is way better in person and the waves crashing at night meant a peaceful nights sleep! Highly recommend for families or group getaways! Fully stocked kitchen was an added bonus!

Entire house:Steps to beach and ample space
Staying at this property was amazing from beginning to end. Jennifer quickly responded to all of my questions about the property and was always friendly and provided so much information. The house was perfect for a group of 10. Beautiful bathrooms and bedrooms with plenty of extra linens and blankets. The kitchen was fully equipped and was even better than the pictures made it look. The location was amazing. It was a very short walk to the beautiful beach and you could also walk to some very good restaurants. We walked to The Barn as well as to Sam’s chowder House. Easy walk to both from the house. The check-in and checkout was so simple. Could not give a better review! Thank you so much! Would definitely stay here again!

The Jolly Barnacle's Cottage
This was our favorite place to stay on our week long road trip to the Redwoods. Hosts thought of everything & u immediately feel at home. Don’t miss visiting the beach across the main street. Sunset views were unbelievable. Beds were comfortable & this couldn’t have been a nicer stay for us! Thank u!

Lovely White Beach House
Sogand’d place was perfect. The location, space and everything about it was perfect. The kitchen is fully equipped for whatever you need. The washer/dryer were also very useful as we were traveling with 2 babies. We already want to book again for next year!

Lower Newport Beach House
What a LOVELY place to stay, just 6-7 houses away from the sand. Perfect location. Very useful shopping center across the street (Pavillions grocery store, banks, restaurants, etc). The house is very spacious, stocked with everything you'd need. Will definitely be back soon!

Luxury and Design- 200 ft or 1 min walk to beach
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Stinson Beach. Greg and Robbie’s place was perfect and was so thoughtfully appointed. Linens, toiletries, coffee, kitchen amenities were all wonderful. Had everything we needed, even for our 2 fur babies. Perfect location and loved being able to walk on the beach down to Parkside cafe every morning. Weather was great, hiking in Muir Woods was amazing. Mill Valley had terrific cafes and coffee. Lovely all the way around. Greg and Robbie were very responsive and thoughtful hosts! Thank you!
Condo rentals with beach access

*Beach Break* Oceanfront/Balcony/Walk Everywhere
This was everything we thought it would be according to the pictures and write up. Great place for the grandkids to come and visit with us due to the proximity to the beach and the on-site pool and hot tubs. Host was responsive and everything went as expected. Would definitely stay there again.

Walk to the Beach from a Seaside Apartment with a Balcony
All-in-all nice vacation spot. You can always find something to complain (i.e. musty odor mentioned in the previous review is a fact but everybody has a different tolerance level). Bikes are GREAT addition to the experience as you can almost drop using your car unless to stock up in Trader Joe's. Sandra is very welcoming host, instructions are clear and precise.

Ocean front condo heart of pacific beach
Very nice condo with outstanding views of the ocean. The place was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much and the location allowed us to walk to restaurants and clubs, as well as to drive to many attractions across the city very easily within 30 minutes. Having the assigned parking spot was especially nice. We would definitely stay at Maria's condo again.

#3, Ocean Front Studio by the Beach in Carlsbad
We loved being so close to the beach and so close to Carlsbad Village; once we parked our car we walked everywhere. So nice to have designated parking, too. The place was very nice, queen bed super comfortable. The pullout bed was not as comfortable, but after layering the sofa seat cushions on the 2nd night it was much better. Everything was very clean, the kitchen was fully stocked, bedding and towels were high quality. We would definitely choose this unit again. We found it remarkably quiet despite being so close to everything. The team at Sea Breeze is VERY responsive, but even with that we had a couple of questions that never got answered. That did not impact our enjoyment. We walked to State Street and had an amazing breakfast at Wildland followed by some good boutique shopping, then ice cream at Handels; a great rooftop dinner during happy hour at Fresco, and the rest of the time we stayed right on our deck or on the beach at Sea Breeze. Can’t wait to do it again!

Port Hueneme 2 Bd, 2BA w/ Ocean View Beach Living
This Airbnb stay was an absolute gem! The location couldn't have been more perfect. It’s just a short, pleasant walk away from a pristine and quiet beach where we could unwind and relax without the crowds. The neighborhood itself exudes tranquility and safety, making it an ideal retreat. Plus, it’s conveniently close to all sorts of amenities, from local eateries to ethnic shops. Norma and Uni truly went above and beyond. They were incredibly responsive, promptly addressing any queries and catering to our needs. Their attentiveness and hospitality added a personal touch that made our stay even more enjoyable. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful beach getaway or a cozy base to explore the area, this place checks all the boxes. I highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again!

2B/2B Pajaro Dunes with Dunes and Ocean View
The beach was amazing, especially being able to walk out the door and only take a few steps to get there. The snack shop is limited but had some staples so it was definitely nice to bring some easy meals and we cooked most of them there. My had some basics there that made cooking easier (salt, oil, etc). Our two teenagers enjoyed having their own full bed. Stay here - great deal for a clean space.

Luxury on the Beach
Easy access. Hoa does a great job with everything. Quick to respond with any questions. I’d stay here again. Awesome experience at this condo.
