Sunny Coastal Retreat-1 King Bed 1 Bath Apt in LBC
We had an amazing stay at Ami’s place in long beach!! the space was super cozy and inviting, and Ami was extremely accommodating, ready to help at a moments notice. Super close to the beach and near some great restaurants. Would highly recommend this place next time you’re in long beach!

Disneyland Orange County Oasis / Private BR & BA
Simple & good for the price with all the basics covered. As noted, you enter through the bathroom, but it had everything I needed for my stay. The space was clean and budget-friendly.

RENOVATED Bungalow Steps to Beach, Shops & Dining
The home is in a great location - literally minutes from the beach and a five minute walk to a Main Street (2nd Ave) that has lots of cafes, restaurants etc. The host was very responsive and went above and beyond when we forgot an important item at the AirBnb during check out. If you have a toddler, there is a great sand play area, library and playground all in a 15 minute radius of the home. Having a bit of outdoor space was welcome too! The home itself is well equipped and clean. Thank you for a great stay!

Downtown 2BR rental- walking to beach, shops, eats
Greg was a wonderful host! His place was hands down one of the cleanest AirBNB’s I’ve ever stayed at. The kitchen and bathrooms were spotless and the linens were fresh and clean. The bathtub was also incredible. The apartment doesn’t run out of hot water, so you can take as many hot baths as you want. The area felt extremely safe. As a lady, this is very important to me when I travel. The neighbors were friendly and had great things to say about Greg. Restaurants, shopping, and the beach were within a ten minute walk. I walked alone as late as 10pm and felt perfectly safe on my own. If I’m ever back in the area, I’d book here again. Highly recommend!

Stylish & Sunny | OceanView~Pool
Perfect little spot for the four of us. We had plenty of space and it was so close to main Long Beach attractions.

Beatrice - 2004 W. Oceanfront
My family and I have stayed for a second time and will definitely stay here again! Sam is a great person and I met Connie the manager and she is also great! We stayed in Beatrice (apt. B) We enjoyed our stay, It is a great location, Has a beautiful view of the ocean! You are close to shops and restaurants. The home was very clean, spacious, comfortable and the parking is great!

Lower unit with oversized patio right on the sand!
The beach house was located right on the beach. The views were amazing. Great location. Our family would stay there again.

Elegant with spectacular view & steps to so much.
Wonderful hosts! Very responsive and let us extend our check out time! Wonderful 5 day stay. Wish there where more paper towels other than the 1 roll 😊Great place!

Beachfront Retreat Getaway
This is hands down the best home I’ve rented! It has everything you could need - definitely feels like a home and not a rental! The house was so cute and loved the touches from the original home. The furniture was very comfortable and everything felt clean! We absolutely loved our time. The dutch door looking out to the back was wonderful. We loved watching the kids play in the sand or swing on the hammock. The only downside was that the beach directly behind the home (over the sand berm) is not clean. There is loads of trash including needles. But you can easily walk to the nicer part of the beach or the bay area directly across the street. Would definitely rent again! The hosts were so communicative and friendly. Would recommend!

Balboa Breeze by AvantStay | Beachfront Retreat
Overall amazing experience, pristine location, clean house. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Only downside is we thought the top balcony in the photos was included in the listing and for our use. Other than that, everything was great. We didn’t want to leave!

Trailside Treasures- 6 Beds (1 King) Near Disney
Easy to get to Disneyland from this location about 30 minutes away. Very responsive host.

Beach House 2 King Suites+Sleeper, Steps to Sand
Great accommodations. Place was clean and comfortable, roof deck is a huge perk. Beds were comfortable. Clifton met me at the unit to show me everything, that was easy and really helpful.

The Boat House on Rivo Alto Canal
The house was wonderful!! Beautifully appointed and so many things to do in the area. Spacious and light! Easily accommodated our family - wish we cold have stayed longer ): Definitely highly recommend Kadee's home Thank you Kadee!!!

ROOF DECK!OCEAN VIEW!WALK TO SAND!PARKING!24TH ST!
Great place to stay with the family. The place matched the description well. Very convenient location. Less than a block from the sand and walkable to all the restaurants. Just far enough from the nightlife to not be bothered by the noise from that. Sanjay was a responsive host, answered any questions very timely.

Beach house on the corner minutes to Disneyland
Matt was very responsive to our questions and needs. The place is in a fantastic location, just a few blocks walk to the beach and downtown area. Enjoyed our stay despite the weather not being perfect.

BOHO Sunset Beach Oasis | H.B.
Our family had a wonderful time at Derek’s Airbnb, the house was perfect and our kids had a blast with the beach right outside the door. This was by far our favorite Airbnb that we have stayed at. We can’t wait until we can take a trip here again. Also Derek was a fantastic host, very responsive and accommodating.
Waterfront condo rentals

BRAND NEW Luxury 1 Bedroom Condo next to the Beach
Loved the place!!! I felt it was a just as I expected! The only thing that could have been better was the pull out bed —- a bit firm.

Ocean View Oasis Near Convention Center & Beach
I am pleased to report that Sam's place is the nicest apartment I have stayed in the USA, after some years of coming over for meetings. It is spacious, uncluttered but really well appointed, and felt like a homely and comfortable space. There is a balcony with a clear view of the Queen Mary (which I recommend for a tour). My wife and I came to Long Beach for a meeting at the Convention Centre, and I was delighted to find that my meeting was a 5min level walk. Sam communicated really well and was very helpful with a flexible arrival time and a very good restaurant suggestion (Thai District is highly recommended and about three blocks). If I were coming back to Long Beach I would certainly rebook Sam's apartment.

The Beach Hive
We had a short stay at Toan’s place but it was lovely. Nice quiet location, easy parking. The Long Beach convention center is about 20-25 minutes away. Sunset beach across the street was nice and quiet. We requested some household supplies and they were very responsive. I highly recommend this Airbnb.

Beachfront on the Bay- penthouse on the sand
Love the place and the location! A major plus was the very responsive and thoughtful hosts!!

Ocean View Studio Near Convention Ctr and Beach
Great location, secure building, and a well furnished studio. The complementary water and coffee were much appreciated. Nico was easy to communicate with as well.

Fabulous Urban Beach Retreat
Adam was a great host! Responded asap. His place is big for Long Beach area, lots of space for our family of 4.

Spatious 2 bedroom apt, 1 block from beach
Stayed 10 days for a nearby conference + vacation time with my two adult kids. Just great- thank you for the easy stay!

Endless Sunset- Near Beach, Surf and Pet Friendly!
Great place to stay with a family. A short and easy walk to the beach made for an amazing vacation. House was clean and comfortable. It is important to note one of the bedrooms is on the first floor, right across from the door of the unit. The unit next door is also an airbnb and can be loud at times, especially late. The host provided some toys for our girls to enjoy. However, there is a photo of a child's bike yet there was no child's bike in the garage, bummer for our 5 year old. Plenty of restaurants close by. There was only one child's plate upon arrival and host provided more quickly for us. Overall, we had a wonderful time in Huntington Beach and this condo.
