Bright and cozy modern studio steps from the beach
My stay at Erin’s was a little getaway for tranquility/Ocean! Erin’s place is an absolute hidden Gem! The Beach cottage was so homely, surrounding neighborhoods were so welcoming! Very peaceful and Blessed! I’ve been away a week now and I miss it so very much! It was my first time away and actually renting an airbnb! I was scared at first but Erin was so kind to answer all my questions (which were a lot) 😅Erin went above and beyond as a Host! But when i arrived and seen her for the first time it was if I arrived to Family!🥹 I felt so nestled and cozy and couldn’t do without! I enjoyed every single day as Erin let me use her bike. I enjoyed rides along the beach, and bay, theres also the peninsulas ride share which is awesome takes you too so many eateries alongside 2nd st.! Everyday I Watched the boats from the bay and just sat and listened to the Ocean waves. The cottage has everything you would need! Don’t think twice like me! Book it😇 Thank you Erin! I already miss being ther

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.

Malibu Beachfront Paradise OceanView Apartment C.
Highly recommended, the view deserves a video instead of a picture. I wanted to be as close as I could to the water & I definitely got it. The kitchen is perfect for small meals. The shower was hot, good pressure & spacious. Great place for couples.

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!

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!

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!

Cozy Beach Bungalow Apt - 2BD/1BA
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!

Loft Style,2Queen beds,Flexible self check in,Pool
The apartment was very comfortable and well presented. True to what was described. Grocery stores and restaurants were walkable, with the beach a short drive away. Communication from Alex was great! Will be happy to return
House rentals with beach access

Villa La Verne
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house in Long Beach! The house was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect—close to the beach, restaurants, and major attractions in the area. Our host was incredibly responsive and accommodating, making check-in and check-out a breeze. The neighborhood was peaceful, and we truly felt at home. We especially enjoyed the outdoor space, which was great for relaxing after a day of exploring. Would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Long Beach and would love to stay here again in the future!

Beach House on the Playa
I stayed Duke's house for my son's wedding at Los Verdes Golf Course. It was really beautiful house and great location. Duke was very professional and provided information to me in a timely manner. I would like to stay there again if there is any chance. Fully recommended.

Belmont Shore Bungalow with Private Backyard
This place is great! The house was clean, the kitchen was well equipped, and a perfect walking distance to the beach and some great restaurants. The host was responsive and extremely helpful. We can’t wait to go back!

Naples Puppy-friendly Paradise
Wonderful location within walking distance to shops, restaurants, a library, a playground, and beach. We loved heading out on foot to grab coffee and walk to the ocean, or to the beach along the canal which was so close and uncrowded. Great shower, washer and dryer in the unit, kind and responsive hosts. The window a/c units in each bedroom provided nice climate control. We were very comfortable and would’ve liked to have stayed longer. There is some road noise at night from the close proximity to 2nd street, and cars must be moved on Thursday/Friday due to street sweeping, but I was able to find parking a few blocks away on 2nd St, so I would suggest doing that rather than looking in the neighborhoods.

Charming Beach Getaway/Next to Beach & 2nd Street
Great location and they were super communicative when we had some issues with the main shower. Would stay there again and parking was easier than expected!
Dream Manhattan Beach House Steps from the Sand
We had a fantastic stay in Manhattan Beach! The space was perfect for our family of four — spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed and more. The location is unbeatable: walkable to shops, restaurants, and just steps from the beach. The ocean view was stunning, and the sound of the waves was like having a built-in sound machine — so relaxing. Everything was clean, from the linens to the towels, and the home felt welcoming and well cared for. We’d love to come back!

4bedroom/3bath Relaxing Single Family beach house
Nadia and Lee's house was perfect for our group of 7. The location is great and we enjoyed staying at their house very much. House was clean, comfortable, and accommodating. Highly recommend if you're looking for a house in the area. Thanks!

Cute 2-Bedroom home with patio near the beach
Sandy was so welcoming, helpful and very hospitable! We requested to book the same day and she was so quick to respond! She has a very cozy and beautiful home. We will definitely request to stay here the next time we’re in town. Thank you so much Sandy for opening your home to us 🙏🏼

2Br | Modern, Chic, Comfy | Best of Belmont shore!
This is a great home and we highly recommend renting it. Beautiful part of Belmont Shore. Far enough off of 2nd Street that you don’t hear the noise, but still only a two block walk. Only half a block to the ocean, where there is a walking and biking path, in addition to the beach. Easy drive to Seal Beach, Huntington Beach, Sunset Beach, and downtown LB. The home is lovely, 2 bedrooms, and nice bathroom, and a kitchen set up for home cooked meals, in addition to a dining room table and living area with a Roku TV. Keurig coffee maker, though we walked up to the many coffee shops on 2nd Street most mornings. Note that second street has great shops and restaurants. Be sure to keep your rental confirmation notice, as it contains the check-in lock code. (I forgot I had it, but Jesica replied to my call within 5 minutes.) We would definitely rent here again.

Stunning 1-Bedroom flat in Heart of Santa Monica
Sam’s listing was great for my 2 week stay. It was quiet and conveniently located in Santa Monica. The bed was very comfortable. The parking space was also a huge bonus. The front building door key is a bit difficult to use and you have to put it in just so to get it to open. Also it’s a bit confusing to get to the apartment from the parking space. Overall this was a great choice for a long term stay in Santa Monica.

Beach Condo with Game Room 3BR/3BA
Nicole’s place is fantastic. A beautiful home in a great location.

Malibu, Carbon Beach - Oceanfront Suite Three
Perfection. We enjoyed everything about our stay in suite 3. The apartment is well fitted out and is very comfortable. We enjoyed sipping sundowners on the balcony and soothing comfort listening to the lapping waves underneath. The hosts are super responsive and ready to help whenever needed. We’ll definitely be back !!!

Santa Monica Beach Getaway! 2 BR, Parking & Bikes
Great area! Short walk to the beach and a short drive to the pier. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials and made dinner time easy. Comfy beds, big bathrooms and a nice quiet outside area. The house has great history and felt cozy. The kitchen area is an add on that can only be accessed through the courtyard area. Be prepared that you will hear the owners/occupants above you when they walk and you often can hear them talking.

Spatious 2 bedroom apt, 1 block from beach
Maya’s place was awesome! It was walkable to great restaurants and the beach, and Maya was helpful and responsive to all of our needs.

KING size bed/walk to the BEACH/kid’s Playroom
What a perfect two-day stay we had at Oksana’s place! It was a home away from home. It had everything we needed plus more. We were able to use the Pack ‘n Play provided for our 14-month old. Our daughter also loved having several engaging toys to occupy her time. I personally loved the amount of space we had to stretch out. Everything is well stocked and provided for your comfort. It was refreshing coming to this location after a not-so-great experience at another Air BnB we had been at prior. As for the parking situation for us, we were able to find the same spot on the street corner both nights we stayed (Saturday and Sunday). Depending on street, you may have to move your vehicle when there is street cleaning too. Overall, though, I would definitely stay at this location again even with the street parking.

Seaside Penthouse 2B/2B 2 min walk to waves!
Mo & Nessy were amazing hosts! The location is unbeatable right in the heart of Venice and Venice Canals, few blocks to the beach and Venice pier and close to verything. The place was clean, stylish, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay for 1 month. Host was super responsive and made sure we felt right at home. Highly recommend staying here if you want a true LA experience! Would definitely come back.
