Disneyland Orange County Oasis / Private BR & BA
They were very nice and accommodating and the room was just what I needed.

RENOVATED Bungalow Steps to Beach, Shops & Dining
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!

ONE Second from the OCEAN
We loved our stay! Perfect location and steps away from the sand. The place was clean and not overly cluttered! We would definitely stay there again.

Seaside Beach Villa - Studio Apartment on the sand
What a wonderful stay with a beautiful beach front! Parking wasn’t too bad although we had to walk a bit each night which is due to our fault leaving early morning and coming back at 11-12 at night so of course closer parking is not expected but there is a nice area to ensure we can park temporarily for luggage unloading etc. The shower was absolutely amazing and I always looked forward to taking one! Kim was an amazing host and very responsive! I def recommend and would 100% go back!

Downtown 2BR rental- walking to beach, shops, eats
We only stayed two nights as a quick recovery after Disney, and the place worked great for our family of 4. Lots of great restaurants nearby and the beach was about a 10 minute walk. Easy to find, had every amenity we could have needed, and the parking spot was a plus.

Beach front 2 bd. 1 ba. Apartment- Sleeps up to 6!
We booked this location last minute. Hank and Kimberlyanna were quick to respond and give us access to the property. Perfect location! Beach is right across the street. You can walk to many shops and restaurants. House has a good vibe. Comfortable and cozy. Livingroom opens up to patio with a beautiful view! Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a fun, walkable location.

Stylish & Sunny | OceanView~Pool
Great place! Beautiful ocean views. Great walking path along the beach.

Lower unit with oversized patio right on the sand!
The beach house was located right on the beach. The views were amazing. Great location. Our family would stay there again.

Beachfront Retreat Getaway
Can’t beat this amazing beach front location in Belmont Shore. The views from the living room, master bedroom and back patio will leave you mesmerized and make it hard to leave the home. Luckily the neighborhood is so quaint with walking paths on both sides of the peninsula that you will want to enjoy a morning stroll, if not a run on the beach. The house is so roomy that we could comfortably fit our extended family without anyone tripping over each other. The hosts were extremely responsive and provided detailed information to make sure we immediately felt at home. We highly recommend this beautiful home!

Private Dana Point Beachfront
This beach house could not have been more perfect! The location is everything. I swear we found one of the most private beaches with staying at this property. The property had all the amenities and we really felt at home. Kathy was sooooo helpful. Her communication was great. We would absolutely come back and stay. We saw dolphins and sea lions from the back deck.

Beach House 2 King Suites+Sleeper, Steps to Sand
It was an amazing place to stay with beautiful rooftop views. Clifton was very helpful with checking and with any questions I had. Although beware. Like other reviews the only thing is there is at of stairs as every rooms and living room are on separate floors. It’s definitely not a complaint for me but you can find it tiring after a long day out. There was clean linens, towels, and toiletries available. Has a gas stove that worked great with some pans included that we made French toast with. The area also great and felt safe 24/7. It had garage parking which is great as the area can fill up during the day time with people going to the beach. I’d highly recommend the place, especially if staying for multiple days or with other people. It’s a great roomy location that I hope to be able to return to sometime.

The Boat House on Rivo Alto Canal
Perfect location, super clean, quiet and comfortable. I would highly recommend Kadee’s place and will be booking again.

Dana Point Beach House -Whale Rock House (Down)
Christopher is a great host, was very responsive and helpful. this place is marvelous! you literally walk into the ocean from your patio. unbeatable views and sound of the ocean.

Beach house on the corner minutes to Disneyland
Great host, not only is Matt’s place amazing, but he is a top notch host! Truly cares about his guests and quick response times! The house was incredible kitchen had all supplies so I was able to cook without missing anything! The fire pit and BBQ on front patio allowed for amazing memories! The rooftop patio, perfect for the morning sun! Walkable to Main Street and the beach! We never had to drive anywhere! Will definitely be staying here again!

Casa Del Mar on Beach Road.
We loved our stay in Dana Point and would recommend this airbnb without hesitation. The location is incredible and right on the beach. The home is so well-appointed, clean and comfortable. We had a ton of family fun with all the games and bikes and beach gear that come with the house. We got to see dolphins swimming in the waves right in front of the deck on our last day which was a real treat. Julie was a wonderful host - so thoughtful, kind, detailed, and easy to communicate with. We’d definitely come back and stay again if we get the chance! Thanks again Julie!

Dexter’s Dockside, Long Beach Waterfront House
I could not say enough about my stay here. It was absolutely perfect. I couldn’t be anymore thankful for them letting us use the Airbnb and everything they did to make my stay nothing short of perfect. 10/10 I recommend this.
Waterfront condo rentals

BRAND NEW Luxury 1 Bedroom Condo next to the Beach
Loved the place!!! I felt it was a just as I expected! The only thing that could have been better was the pull out bed —- a bit firm.

Big Ocean Views and Modern Digs Steps from Beach
Christine was a perfect host. She is considerate, accurate, responsive, and cares about her guests and their stay. The location is perfect across, from The Strand, and easy location to walk the beach or the Ritz for a sunset drink. Sunsets are in perfect view from sitting on the couch through the window, or go outside and enjoy them. Her place is clean, comfortable and the location is ideal. I will stay there every time I am in town, and have recommended it to friends. Loved it. Thanks Christine. You have a gem.
Christopher - 2001 Court St.
Our stay was amazing. This place is so close to the beach and has amazing views. We were here for a family vacation and it was a great time. I would definitely stay here again. The managers were very responsive. Not a criticism, but be aware that if you’re going to stay here, if you drive a truck, you will likely not be able to park in the provided stalls due to height restrictions. We were able to find road parking, so, this wasn’t a problem for us.

The Beach Hive
We had a short stay at Toan’s place but it was lovely. Nice quiet location, easy parking. The Long Beach convention center is about 20-25 minutes away. Sunset beach across the street was nice and quiet. We requested some household supplies and they were very responsive. I highly recommend this Airbnb.

Beachfront on the Bay- penthouse on the sand
This condo was very beautiful and the views from the living room and dining room were amazing. Our only thing is we didn't realize how steep the stairs were, and my mother couldn't climb them, so she had to stay somewhere else. Then we checked out. So, we paid for something we couldn't enjoy and that was sad. Not even a small portion of a refund was offered to us.

3 bedroom Condo in Dana Point
Over all a super cute condo, and a very nice location, just be aware that some of the doors to the rooms/restrooms don’t full close nor lock. But beautiful condo and great location

Endless Sunset- Near Beach, Surf and Pet Friendly!
Five stars all around!!! Super clean, great location, all of the amenities you could want or need! My mother, two teen daughters, and I had the greatest time staying at this wonderful place.

Best S Bay Front location on Balboa Island Newport
The location is a dream, but what made this space really stand out were the charming Christmas decorations both inside and out, Susan’s quick responses when we had questions, willingness to help us with parking, and literally ANYTHING we needed. Also I just have to comment on how wonderfully comfortable the bed was in the master bedroom. A truly special place on Balboa island in a prime location - for a spectacular stay! Highly recommend! Thank you Susan!
