Classic beachfront home in Seal Beach, CA

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 36 reviews1 month ago

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!

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.

Lakefront House With Breathtaking View

We have stayed at several Air BnB's but have never had the support and responsiveness that our host provided. We had a water line break forcing us to move out for nearly two weeks. Souroosh was flexible in arranging our arrival and responded in minutes to any request or question we had. He could not have been more accommodating.

We had such a comfortable stay as a family of 4 with two small kids on a spring break getaway. Accommodations were comfortable and amenities provided everything we needed especially the dishwasher, full kitchen, television set up with roku so we could log into Disney+ and download PBS Kids, and laundry! Proximity to the beach was also very convenient. We felt right at home.

Luxury 4 Story home next to Alamitos Yacht Club

5 out of 5 average rating, 30 reviews1 month ago

This property is beautiful. This is a good spot if you want somewhere close to the ocean but far enough away from the crowded tourist streets. The house was clean and matched the description and pictures. The 2 car garage is almost essential in Long Beach (coming from a local) and fit a small suv and sedan. The host(s) provided all the information we needed and there were no issues during our stay. We would definitely come back.
