Steps to Venice Sand | BBQ, Fire Pit, Parking
The house is ideal for visiting the area with some friends over the weekend. It is literally a stone's throw from Venice Beach area and bars such as the venice whaler. Shawn was also a responsive and attentive host, would definitely stay again!

BelmontShoresBH - A
This place was exactly as advertised. We spent hours sitting outside in the yard relaxing during our stay which is exactly what we'd hoped for. The location was perfect: right near the beach and restaurants but in a quiet community. I'd love to stay here again.

Malibu Beachfront 2 bedroom gem
Absolutely amazing place and location. Great communication! Very satisfied. The house was clean and organized. Beautiful views 🌅 Thank you!

Beachfront Condo | Location | Endless Views | Surf
My family and I have an amazing stay here in this beautiful home. Kristi was so quick with responses to any questions. We will definitely be returning.

Downtown 2BR rental- walking to beach, shops, eats
This was one of the best AirBnB’s we have stayed at. It was very clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed. My husband loved the large box of condiment packets so we didn’t need to buy any. Keurig with lots of flavors was also nice so we didn’t have to buy coffee. The beds were very comfortable and had the most comfortable sheets. Space is a little tight, but it was just fine for what we needed. I would definitely stay here again.

Manhattan Beach Beachfront Charming On The Strand
Excellent location. John was very kind and helpful. He was friendly and went above and beyond to offer help. The place was clean and refreshing. Bed was very comfortable. Definitely will go back!

Two Bedroom Beach House Minutes From Carbon Beach
Great location, amazing view. responsive host, comfy beds. Super comfy couches near great restaurants coffee shops and stores. Parking and entry were a breeze. simple instructions. little deck area behind the metal street gate helped with unloading and dogs. Stayed a week, end came too soon.

#2 1877' SF 2bd/2ba 50yds to beach 2 car garage
Thanks for a wonderful stay, the place was perfect for us, with our own bathrooms and fantastic location! Thank you for having us. And the two parking spaces in the garage were a huge help.

Spectacular Malibu Beach Front
Overall a great place to stay in Malibu. Ideal location on the beach with its own private entrance. The house was complete furnished as described. If you plan to airbnb keep in mind that this place uses a septic tank. If you are not used to the smell of the septic tank it may throw you off. It wasn't a nasty smell but a unique odors that we needed to address occasionally with candles and airing out the unit.

Private Casita Room at Terranea Resort
Beautiful and peaceful casita, easy access to resort restaurants and hikes. Had the best time!

Oceanfront, NO Highway Noise, Right on the Water!
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Staying at Melody’s place was truly a dream. The home was not only beautiful and perfectly clean, but the breathtaking ocean view made every moment unforgettable. Falling asleep to the soothing sound of the waves each night brought such peace and comfort — it was an experience we will always treasure. Melody’s kindness, attention to detail, and thoughtful recommendations, like the easy walk to Nobu restaurant, made our stay even more special. It was the perfect couple’s getaway peaceful, romantic, and filled with special touches. We are so grateful for the chance to stay here and can’t wait to return. Thank you, Melody, for creating such a magical and memorable experience! ❤️

Marina Bay Retreat 2BD
A great finale to our vacation. The place was beautiful, and there was a stack of kid games my children made a bee line for!

Modern Marina del Rey Oasis |Pool & Hot Tub
Nice place - in line with the description. Having a parking spot secured is a big plus. The flat by itself is very nice and well equipped..nothing is missing to have a pleasant stay. Plublic Transportation is at the corner of the bloc - will get you to Santa Monica pier in roughly 30mn. Then from there - metro rail is available to get you anywhere in LA Overall I recommend this place - and furthermore Alisa has been great to communicate with.

Views, Beach, Relax & more!
We really enjoyed our stay at Yese's condo! It was very easy to find and get into the unit, and Yese provided clear instructions which included pictures for the parking garage. The unit itself was very clean and organized and had all of the basics! It was conveniently located for everything we had planned and within driving distance of a lot of local hotspots. Would definitely stay again, and recommend if you are looking to be in the MDR area!

Waterfront Marina View w/ Private Promenade Access
The views are wonderful and walking around the marina is pretty. The condo is spotless. Claudia was extremely responsive throughout the rental. I see why she is Superhost. It was winter so we didn’t use the pool, but the pool area and close-by patio area with hot tub are nice. Whole Foods in Venice is great and close by, as is Costco, so we had many meals at ‘home.’ A few cons: there is no bedroom. It is a studio. No fluffy white towels in bathroom as shown. Can’t use the small balcony. Finally - not a reflection on the host at all, but the building has shared water and morning showers were not always hot. Evening showers were fine. A nice place if you want a home base away from downtown in a pretty area.

Stylish & Sunny | OceanView~Pool
I absolutely loved this Airbnb! The 2 bed, 2 bath setup was perfect. The couches were super comfortable, and the view of the beach from the balcony was stunning. There was plenty to do in the area, yet it still felt peaceful and relaxing. You really can’t beat the location—just minutes from the Long Beach Aquarium and close to everything we needed. Hands down, one of my favorite Airbnbs ever!

OCEAN-FRONT | On Beach/Strand | KING Bed | 2 Decks
The location is unbeatable! It was so fun to wake up to the ocean view and walk along the Strand. It’s super walkable to all Manhattan Beach has to offer - and just far enough to be quiet and peaceful in the evenings. Everything was clean and exactly as described. We’ll definitely be back!

The Pearl, Oceanview SM Studio
The place was close to lots of activities and restaurants all In walking distance. Having a balcony was great. The place was very clean and nice. The host was very nice.

Chic Venice Surfer's Pad 1 Block from the Beach
Great place in close proximity to the beach and restaurants. Would definitely consider this place as a go-to any time I’m in the area

Top Floor Ocean Views & 2 Car Garage Steps to Sand
We had a great stay at Amanda's condo. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, which we really appreciated. The location of the condo is excellent and the views are spectacular. The beach is a very short walk from the condo, which is well equipped with beach chairs and other beach amenities. The Stand is also right down the Hill, where one can bike or job along the Ocean. There were also several very good restaurants within walking distance of the condo. Overall, it's a great place to stay with a very cool feel in a really beautiful setting in a location that has a cool vibe and makes us want to come back someday.

Steps to the Beach, Firepit & Patio | Coastal Cove
This space was everything we could have imagined and more! Cozy, quiet, and felt like home. One perk, that was essential for us, was being close to the beach. You walk through the back parking lot & you’re there! I’m home laundry was a huge perk as well. We did end up needing some assistance with a couple things around the home & our host responded right away (even called to help!). Being new to Cali was made so much easier with AvantStay. 10/10 recommend!

Contemporary Beachside Studio
This place was great! Awesome location and very clean. Eleonora was a wonderful communicator as well. Highly recommend!

Cozy Beach Gem
We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was very comfortable and perfect for our stay. TV options were great for relaxing at night. Mark was very helpful and responded very rapidly to any questions we had. having a designated parking spot was amazing. would definitely stay again.

Santa Monica DREAM Modern Home
Such a fun house! My kids loved the different levels and there was a place for everyone to relax which is always so nice on vacation. Great communication from Summer and I enjoyed having the gated entrance. Tip - Totally our fault but the city is serious about parking on the correct side during sweeping! Summer warned us and gave us a great parking pass and we just missed moving the car. Ticket is $75. Hoping that will save someone else some spending money.
