Waterfront vacation rentals in Central LA, Los Angeles

Lovely place! No complaints.

Stunning home in such a prime location! Right across from the beach with two patios for people watching or watching the sunset. Easy to walk to any and everything from free aquariums to local restaurants. The space itself was exactly as pictured if not larger and from beginning to end the host was very responsive and helpful. I would definitely recommend booking if you see this spot available!

We had a great stay! The place was very clean, check-in was smooth, and communication with the host was excellent. The location is perfect—just steps from the beach and near public parking, which made everything super convenient. We also really appreciated the thoughtful welcome treats. Would definitely stay here again!

This was a really special place - truly a peaceful retreat, where we spent most of our time simply sitting outside on the patio. A daily walk around the canals added to the experience, and it was a short walk down to the ocean and pier. M offered us early check-in, kept in touch to make sure all was fine during our stay, and check-in and check-out were both simple. Overall, a wonderful stay!

I had an amazing stay at this property! The location is absolutely perfect, just a short walk to the beach, shops, and a great selection of restaurants. The space itself was spotless and beautifully maintained. Everything felt fresh and inviting from the moment I arrived. The beds were incredibly comfortable, which made it so easy to relax and get a great night’s sleep after a day of exploring. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect beach getaway!

Fantastic location- walkable to lots of restaurants, bars, shops, beach, Santa Monica pier. Great communication and very clear instructions. Check in and check out was very easy. It’s an older building but well maintained. Could use some extra towels and waters for the apartment so provided that feedback which they appreciated and were very responsive to. Great hosts. Would stay here again and recommend!

We had an incredible stay at Bradley's Airbnb in Manhattan Beach! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, as well as multiple restaurants and shops, making it so easy to explore the area. The apartment itself was fantastic: well-stocked, clean, and spacious enough to comfortably accommodate our family of five, including three teenagers. Bradley's father, Robert, was the main contact and is an excellent host. He was always available for recommendations and went above and beyond by giving us a personal walking tour of the area when we arrived. His knowledge of the local spots made our trip even more enjoyable. Overall, our experience was amazing, and we highly recommend staying here! It was the perfect place for our family vacation. We can not wait to return!

Excellent stay ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️host was amazing very responsive and helpful! Flexible with the check in and the apartment is really lovely! Looks exactly like the pictures, strong WiFi, well stocked kitchen and sincerely appreciated the filtered water in the fridge upon arrival and a plethora of espresso ☕️ machine options on a daily! The gym is great 😊 super close to the Santa Monica Pier boardwalk, the awesome Saulino Smith hair salon conveniently located, delicious variety of restaurants, and my favorite Go Greek yogurt & froyo 🍦 shoppe! Would stay here again in a heartbeat! 💗

We are so grateful for being in the home and it was so greatly!

Nice studio close to the beach and the everything Malibu has to offer

We've stayed at many AirBnBs over the years, and Debra's place will always stand among the best. An easy, charming walk to the beach is a highlight, for sure, but the house itself is larger than we expected. The owners retreat at the back of the house is quietly set back from the front of the house and the other two bedrooms, allowing for privacy for parents and teens, and we had ample tables and chairs to do our work, our reading, and our planning for day trips. Easy drive to/from the airport, exceedingly walkable to pretty much anything you'd want or need, and parking on-street was consistently easy, right in front of the house. Debra is an ideal host: careful, thoughtful, fun, kind. She made us the best lemonade on earth from the lemons on the tree out front of the house. The hummingbirds were active throughout the day, and watching them at the kitchen window was idyllic. The gardens in the back of the house were amazing. Hard to not say more: a truly great stay!

A unique and lovely house close to the action but in a peaceful setting. The front garden is a magical oasis that I did not want to leave. House had everything you need for a great stay.

Shirley's Long Beach house was truly one of the best Airbnb experiences I've ever had! Location wise, you are only a few minutes from down town Long Beach and some great dining options, but you are also directly across the street from one of Long Beach's great public parks and you can get from the kitchen to the beach before your coffee even has time to cool off. There is a bit of traffic right outside the front door, but there was no honking and little revving when we were visiting. As for the amenities, they did a fantastic job of stocking the rooms with plenty of towels and any consumables you may need, including laundry detergent and coffee. They also provided some free waters and cookies which was very kind. The sheets and bed are the only areas that could use some improvement. The sheets were rather scratchy and the comforter was very warm for a room with limited air flow, but they were clean and pressed, so I can't complain too much. I can't recommend this place enough!!!

Perfect location, super clean, quiet and comfortable. I would highly recommend Kadee’s place and will be booking again.

The location is amazing. Minutes from the beach and beautiful views. Second Street which is a hub for eating out, shopping, night life is an easy walk. The home is beautiful! There is a staircase up just as you enter the door. The beds were super comfortable. The master bathroom was enjoyed by everyone. Kids loved the double shower. The provided beach towels super appreciated. We always found parking either right in front of the place or directly across the street.

Such a peaceful community in such a vibrant place. Close to Venice Beach and the Santa Monica pier. The home and linens were squeaky clean. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe. The people watching, plane watching, and boat watching provides non stop entertainment. We even saw a sea lion and dolphins. This place is magical and we can’t wait to come back!

So sad to be leaving Amanda’s oasis in MB. It grew to feel like a second home. The view is out of this world outstanding. You can hear the ocean waves crashing, the salt water stinging your nose. The place itself is beautifully appointed, had everything you need and is close to everything (beach, Venice, LAX, etc). We would stay there again in a heartbeat- in fact, not sure we can settle for anywhere else in LA from now on.

Definitely had a wonderful first experience Elizabeth made it very easy for me to check in and out with wonderful communication. Next time I’m looking to book in the Long Beach area. I am definitely going to look for Elizabeth’s AirBNB again. 🫶🏼

Great condo right on the beach, very clean, dedicated parking to accommodate our car and a large truck… parking for a large vehicle is difficult to find anywhere around this area! Linda was super nice and helpful and we were met in person to show us everything about the apartment. Great price for the location. Would definitely stay again.

The ultimate beachfront Airbnb. The home is clean and modern. Pleasantly surprised by all the amenities offered by the hosts. Very peaceful location; really enjoyed listening to the waves crashing on the beach. This is the top house with an unbeatable ocean view. It’s a short walk from the front door to the sand. The hosts Tom and Destiny were outstanding, responded promptly to any questions and went above and beyond to accommodate me. Would highly recommend booking this property. You won’t regret it.

This is the perfect place to stay. Perfect location you are walking distance from manny great locations in Long Beach. Sam is a great host and made arrival and check in super easy.

We had a great time and enjoyed the space. Great area that felt very safe. Lots of good food options near and close to Disney. Would recommend 👌

Best location in Manhattan beach on the strand directly in front of the ocean. Our stay was perfect. Would love to stay at Tony’s again.

Great place, very clean and comfortable. To get any closer to the ocean you’d have to get wet,
