Cress Point-By the Ocean-with fire pits

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 95 reviews1 month ago

I believe this is our fourth stay in this unit. The location is unequaled. You’re right at the top of the stairs to the beach with an unbeatable view. The apartment is cozy but adequate. Derek has always been very responsive. The price is steep, but consider that the cheapest room at the Montage hotel is $1200/night. Very high owner and cleaning fees. And there’s off street parking which is very rare in the vicinity. Near interesting shops, bookstore, coffee shop.

5 out of 5 average rating, 25 reviews3 months ago

What a seamless check in and check out With no visits from maintenance people. We really enjoyed our stay, it was the perfect getaway and was very relaxing. A charming duplex overlooking the marina with lots of comfortable furniture to sit on, a lovely deck and a fireplace. My one suggestion would be to convert one of the tub/shower units to a walk-in shower. Other than that, loved my stay!

Oceanfront | Rooftop Deck w/ Panoramic Views

5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviews4 days ago

Nice little spot, overall it's a good option since its on the cheaper side of what else you might find beachfront with 3 beds 3 baths in the area. View is unbeatable and walk to everything you need. Management is very helpful and responsive to address any concerns. You're renting this house for the location, not an "updated/designer" interior. I would stay here again.

Ocean Boulevard Beachfront Home

4.87 out of 5 average rating, 15 reviews3 months ago

Fantastic host! Stocked the fridge with water and left us some fruit and chocolate for our arrival. Gave us early check in and late checkout. The house itself was very clean and well maintained. The upstairs bathrooms even have bidets. Would 100% stay again. The only negative worth mentioning is the house is on a main road so there was car noise audible in the mornings. But that's the trade off for being directly across from the beach entrance.

This is such a perfect getaway spot. You can see the beach from the large windows and Don had umbrella and chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, etc that we could take the few steps to the ocean. You can easily walk to coffee, restaurants, ice cream, playground, and more. Beautiful home! And Don and Rebecca were so helpful- unloading/loading our car, setting up the umbrella, helping us get on bikes to explore, and more. Will absolutely be back!

Newport Beach on the sand- lower unit rental

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviews3 weeks ago

Location, location, location!! We loved our stay at this airbnb in Newport Beach. Being right on the sand just a few blocks from the pier and so many restaurants and shops was such fun. I worried about privacy with so many people walking, jogging, biking etc right past our front sliding doors - but I realized the glass is mirrored, so during the day no one can see in. At night there are full shades - so privacy was not a problem. The apartment looked just like the photos. It was very clean and had everything we needed despite how small it was. The hosts were very helpful and responsive. Great to have garage parking - but beware - it's a small spot. I would definitely stay here again.

Cozy Peninsula Beach Cottage - steps to the beach

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 38 reviews2 months ago

Natalie’s place was perfect for our visit to Long Beach. The place was spotless and had everything you could possibly need to make the stay comfortable including nice provisions that she left for us. We never had problem with parking within a block of her place and found the area to be super quiet at night. We loved walking along the beach and doing morning yoga on the deck. The heater is on the loud side, but the two times we needed it, it heat the place up in a matter of a minutes. We will definitely stay here again when visiting our son in LB.
