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.

Fantastic Vacation Condo on the Bay
Sharon’s Newport Airbnb was the perfect getaway with stunning views and a comfortable family vibe… perfect for the 6 of us… The beds made for a great night’s rest, and the place had everything we needed. Being able to easily park 2 vehicles was a huge plus. And, place is within walking distance of many conveniences including a deli and pharmacy.

28th St - 1 House from the Sand w/ Rooftop Deck
Our second time at the property - we returned as we like it so much! Quiet and private, yet only 20 feet from the beach front. Close to amenities - Pavilions supermarket, Chipotle for great food, and Handels for awesome ice-cream! We hope to return in the future!

Beach condo feels like tropical cottage getaway!
Had a nice at Oceanside for my Ironman weekend. The apartment is a walking distance from the pier and the harbor, and the beach.

3bd Beach House A Strand of Paradise
Came here for our family Spring Break get away! We all had a wonderful time! The view is way better in person and the waves crashing at night meant a peaceful nights sleep! Highly recommend for families or group getaways! Fully stocked kitchen was an added bonus!

Beachfront Condo | Location | Endless Views | Surf
Planned our proposal here and it was absolutely stunning atmosphere, amazing beach, wonderful space, and all around a good experience.

Modern Beach home minutes to the Beach & the bay.
Overall awesome place to stay. Nice & clean house. Loved the area. Beach was walkable. I would definitely stay again!!

Beachfront Luxury Vacation Condo in Oceanside
We stayed at Paul’s place over the spring break-LEGOLAND trip, family of four with two young kids. The apartment matched the description and was fully stocked. The beach toys , chairs, towels were an added bonus though it was cold when we stays and not much getting in the ocean. It’s close to the downtown and shops. We loved our stay. As other reviewer had mentioned the warping of the doors were a minor annoyance which we had to help kids close bathroom doors. Would recommend Paul’s place for anyone looking for a place in Oceanside - Carlsbad area.

3BR, 2BA Pool / Hot Tub home with a Mountain View
We loved our stay in Palm Springs. The place was squeaky clean, the pool and backyard were lovely, and Jeremy is a very responsive and kind host.

Great place with great host. Everything you need is 5min drive away. Rob was very friendly and helpful with making our stay worth the while.

3 Bed 2 Bath with pool & PET FRIENDLY
Kyle was a great host. Super responsive and helpful. We forgot one of our pups harnesses which has sentimental value. Kyle has agreed to meet us and return it. Not many people are that kind. It was so peaceful and relaxing, we didn’t want to leave. We would definitely recommend his home and would stay again. Thank you Kyle!

Star Claim Post
I recently had the pleasure of staying at John’s beautiful home in Joshua Tree, and I can honestly say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I booked, John was incredibly responsive and welcoming, offering clear instructions and helpful recommendations for the area. The house itself is a true gem. Nestled in the heart of Joshua Tree, it blends perfectly with the stunning desert landscape while offering all the comfort and amenities you could ask for. Whether you’re relaxing on the porch with a cup of coffee or unwinding by the fire pit under the stars, every corner of this home is designed for comfort and relaxation. The location is ideal – just a short drive from Joshua Tree National Park and local shops, yet quiet and peaceful enough to feel like a private retreat. The views of the mountains from the property are breathtaking, especially at sunrise and sunset.

Quiet 3BR Whole House Rowland Heights(Disney 18mi)
Beautiful spot will book again! Thanks!

Our Desert Home
excellent stay. the house is comfortable, full of amenities, well located, and Karen was a great and speedy communicator.

Brand new home near LAX, beach, LA, OC
The house was exactly how it was pictured. Ting was very communicative. Everything was very easy to enter. It was very secure with the gates and motion lights. I can definitely recommend this stay.

Cozy Family Friendly Conventions Downtown Beaches
Ruben is an amazing, standout host. He was super communicative, friendly, responsive and kind. His place looks just like the photos and he provides great amenities, even surprising us with a couple of thoughtful items we very much appreciated. His place is very comfortable, well set up and private. Beds, pillows, linens all very nice. We so enjoyed our stay! Thank you, Ruben!

Cozy Beach House 90 Steps to the Sand + Dogs!
Super place to stay! Can't say enough. Peaceful beach house with easy walk to the beach.

PISMO BEACH, Ca - full ocean view - sleeps 8
From the welcome mat message “Yay! You’re here!” to a smooth check in, Tracy and Randy’s place made a fabulous first impression. And that impression lasted throughout our entire stay. Their home was spotless and beautifully appointed. They thought of everything that you might need in the kitchen from a Keurig (with complementary pods!) to pots and silverware and glasses and servingware. There was also a wine fridge and toaster. TVs in every room where we streamed all our favorites. The beds were so comfortable! Bathrooms were beautiful with plenty of towels, soap, shampoo, and conditioner. The location was perfect - close to the beach and the pier and lots of fabulous restaurants. While close to everything, it still felt like an oasis with a breathtaking rooftop view! Tracy (whose breathtaking photography is on display throughout the home) and Randy were very responsive and had great recommendations! Easy access to SLO. Highly recommend and plan to stay there again soon!!

Classic beachfront home in Seal Beach, CA
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!

Chic Beachfront Private Sandy Yard, Fire Ring
We loved our stay at this beach home. The location was perfect! You could walk or bike ride to the beach access area, playgrounds and restaurants. There was a great bike trail near by. We particularly loved the play room! With a toddler and teenagers, it was the perfect space for them to be entertained! Lots of activities to do in that room. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely return.

NEW! Beach Front Coastal Living
This home is a treasure in a really lovely place. Couldn’t recommend the accommodation or the immediate area more. Glenn was very helpful when I was booking. There is a large grocery store within a short drive. The house is furnished and decorated well, the kitchen equipped for cooking and baking. The appliances all work well. I think the house has been renovated so that three were made one- so the layout is a tad bit unusual but we appreciated having spaces for all.

NEWLY RENOVATED - 1min to Sand & Sea - Dream Home
Amazing location close to the beach. Well maintained house with great amenities like pool table and roof decks. My 5 year old son asked if we could move here :)

Newport Beach: Ocean Front Home and Balboa Pier
We had a beautiful 5 days at Ann’s place. We are hosts ourselves and still everything exceeded our expectations. We partied on the beach with friends but absolutely loved the 9pm quiet time. So nice not to have loud parties and beach activity disturbing our zen. We could enjoy the sunsets in peace and tranquility. We are already planning our next years trip. 5+++ stars for Anna and her family, we felt right at home!

Beach Front Home
For the last several years my wife and I have traveled to several different places using airbnb's to enjoy our vacations. This was by far the nicest, most pointed, detail oriented experience of all of our trips. This is the one you're looking for!
