Luxury Beachside Living | Walk to the Sand & Waves
We had a great stay! The place was very clean, check-in was smooth, and communication with the host was excellent. The location is perfect—just steps from the beach and near public parking, which made everything super convenient. We also really appreciated the thoughtful welcome treats. Would definitely stay here again!

Sunny Coastal Retreat-1 King Bed 1 Bath Apt in LBC
I had a fantastic stay in Long Beach! The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully put together. It had everything I needed for a relaxing stay, and the location was perfect—close to great restaurants, the beach, and local attractions. Ami was communicative and welcoming, making check-in and check-out smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommend!

Ocean View Suite in Downtown SM
This was a perfect place right across the beach, an easy walk near a bunch of great food places! Chris was very nice and welcoming. If I am ever in Santa Monica again this would be my first option!

Affordable Beach Penthouse #6 — 2 blocks to beach
I had a wonderful and peaceful time. A Wonderful place to stay.

Steps from the SAND private suite on Peninsula
Great host! Communicative, friendly. Would definitely rent from again.

Stunning Private 1 Bdrm Beach Apartment w/AC
A gem! I stayed here for a little "me getaway" for my birthday. There are just 4 houses between this airbnb and the beach, it took me 52 seconds to walk from the gate to the sand. Well appointed kitchen, everything was clean and smelled great. Windows in very room w/particularly great natural light in the bedroom... lovely to feel the warm sun in the comfy bed in the mornings. Good window shades to block out light if you prefer. The bathroom is super cute w/little hotel style toiletry bottles provided. There's good temperature control with a heater, A/C and easy to open windows for a cool ocean breeze. Great beaches, parks, restaurants, coffee shops in the area; I found it to be very quiet and serene - you're ensconced behind a gate and walking path so it feels very private and safe. Free street parking. I was not missing a single thing and host was communicative, gave clear and helpful instructions, and had some thoughtful personal touches in the airbnb. Would return in a heartbeat!

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!

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!

Upper Unit Beachfront "Boathouse" House!
This beach cottage was the perfect getaway for Valentine’s Day weekend. It was very cozy with a beautiful deck where you could enjoy the beach all day long. You can access the beach easily and the Rosewood hotel. Would definitely recommend and stay again. It’s the upper unit of a house so you do share a hallway entrance with downstairs guests and the entrance is right by the bedroom. Apart from that everything was very nice!

Beach House 2 King Suites+Sleeper, Steps to Sand
This property lived up to everything promised and more. It was clean (and I am picky!), well located, and easy to access by following the detailed instructions. Our guests, as well as ourselves, were comfortable with the beds and furnishings. The kitchen was well stocked and the towels, linens, and little extras were all appreciated. All of us that stayed had no problem with the stairs. If anyone planning to visit has mobility issues, you might want to look elsewhere, but that is the ONLY reason not to book a stay at this wonderful Air B&B. Also, nearby parking was not in issue for our guest who parked nearby on a clearly marked public street (not in the alley behind the property). Thanks Clifton!

Laguna Beach Coastal Cottage - Steps to the Beach!
Location and house couldn’t be better for great day time activities. Our kids loved it (15 yo) they were able to safely go about their days independently. House was beautiful, airy, bright. As stated in some reviews bring earplugs for the primary as it faces a busy street and by 7am it gets noisy. But we’ll be back. Totally worth it.

Original Beachfront on the Boardwalk Newport Home
Great stay. Perfect location for us. We had a great time. Everything was as described and we never had to contact the host for anything.

Beach Front House-Newly Renovated - Awesome Home !
We were greeted at the door with a smile and a tour of the home. Linda’s home was exactly what I was hoping for. A clean, welcoming home away from home. It was a wonderful place near the beach and walking distance to a lot restaurants and stores. My family and I couldn’t have been any happier with our stay.

Naples Island Waterfront Beach House
This Airbnb exceeded my expectations! The location was absolutely incredible, and the pictures don’t do this place justice. It was warm, cozy, and felt just like home from the moment I arrived. One of my favorite parts was the beautiful walkways—perfect for cute morning strolls and super close to grocery stores, restaurants and shopping! Everything about this stay was perfect, and I would definitely book again!

Dexter’s Dockside, Long Beach Waterfront House
Wonderful hosts. Beautiful space!

Ocean Front Silver Strand Beach House.
Our stay was perfect. Clean, comfortable felt like home. House was very spacious and was exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely book again in the future.

Gorgeous Catalina Villa in Hamilton Cove
This was a dream come true for me and my kids for their spring break! We felt right at home in our quiet, beautiful and peaceful place. We loved all the amenities and the nice cozy beds. The view was breathtaking and the golf cart was amazing to have. I also really appreciated all of the details on where the place was located and how to turn tv on and how everything worked. I highly recommend this place and would love to come back and stay again!

Port Hueneme 2 Bd, 2BA w/ Ocean View Beach Living
This Airbnb stay was an absolute gem! The location couldn't have been more perfect. It’s just a short, pleasant walk away from a pristine and quiet beach where we could unwind and relax without the crowds. The neighborhood itself exudes tranquility and safety, making it an ideal retreat. Plus, it’s conveniently close to all sorts of amenities, from local eateries to ethnic shops. Norma and Uni truly went above and beyond. They were incredibly responsive, promptly addressing any queries and catering to our needs. Their attentiveness and hospitality added a personal touch that made our stay even more enjoyable. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful beach getaway or a cozy base to explore the area, this place checks all the boxes. I highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again!

Hamilton Cove Panoramic Ocean View Condo #2/32
This was our second trip to Catalina but our first time staying in Hamilton Cove. We will definitely come back. The location has so many amenities but downtown is still easily accessible by golf cart. We took full advantage of the pool, hot tub, tennis courts and private beach. Trevor’s place had all of the sports equipment you might need which was really nice and the view is stunning.

On the Sand beachfront 3b/2b remodeled first floor
Perfect Beach Getaway – Great for Families! We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb, especially with our kids! The location was unbeatable—just steps from the beach, where we spent endless hours enjoying the sand and waves. The home was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed, including beach chairs, toys, and towels, making it perfect for a stress-free getaway. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive, ensuring we had a smooth experience. The outdoor space was great for relaxing after a long day by the ocean, and the nearby restaurants and attractions made exploring easy. If you're looking for a relaxing, family-friendly beach retreat, this is the perfect spot. We can't wait to come back!
