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!

Stunning Beachside Home w/ Balcony steps to beach
Our host was very helpful and accommodating.

Disneyland Orange County Oasis / Private BR & BA
They were very nice and accommodating and the room was just what I needed.

Downtown 2BR rental- walking to beach, shops, eats
We only stayed two nights as a quick recovery after Disney, and the place worked great for our family of 4. Lots of great restaurants nearby and the beach was about a 10 minute walk. Easy to find, had every amenity we could have needed, and the parking spot was a plus.

Beach front 2 bd. 1 ba. Apartment- Sleeps up to 6!
We booked this location last minute. Hank and Kimberlyanna were quick to respond and give us access to the property. Perfect location! Beach is right across the street. You can walk to many shops and restaurants. House has a good vibe. Comfortable and cozy. Livingroom opens up to patio with a beautiful view! Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a fun, walkable location.

Stylish & Sunny | OceanView~Pool

Sandy Shores Getaway
loved the beach house, family all had a blast. amazing views and wildlife. dolphins every morning, had a female sea lion take some much needed naps on our beach and enjoy some picture taking with her.

Beachfront Retreat Getaway
Can’t beat this amazing beach front location in Belmont Shore. The views from the living room, master bedroom and back patio will leave you mesmerized and make it hard to leave the home. Luckily the neighborhood is so quaint with walking paths on both sides of the peninsula that you will want to enjoy a morning stroll, if not a run on the beach. The house is so roomy that we could comfortably fit our extended family without anyone tripping over each other. The hosts were extremely responsive and provided detailed information to make sure we immediately felt at home. We highly recommend this beautiful home!

Beach House 2 King Suites+Sleeper, Steps to Sand
It was an amazing place to stay with beautiful rooftop views. Clifton was very helpful with checking and with any questions I had. Although beware. Like other reviews the only thing is there is at of stairs as every rooms and living room are on separate floors. It’s definitely not a complaint for me but you can find it tiring after a long day out. There was clean linens, towels, and toiletries available. Has a gas stove that worked great with some pans included that we made French toast with. The area also great and felt safe 24/7. It had garage parking which is great as the area can fill up during the day time with people going to the beach. I’d highly recommend the place, especially if staying for multiple days or with other people. It’s a great roomy location that I hope to be able to return to sometime.

The Boat House on Rivo Alto Canal
Kadee’s Nicely decorated, absolutely lovely the backyard area and garden, the kitchen was one of my favorites, and they had an abundance of shaving dishes, nice cooking ware which really came in handy 🩷

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.

Dana Point Beach House -Whale Rock House (Down)
Christopher is a great host, was very responsive and helpful. this place is marvelous! you literally walk into the ocean from your patio. unbeatable views and sound of the ocean.

Beach house on the corner minutes to Disneyland
Great host, not only is Matt’s place amazing, but he is a top notch host! Truly cares about his guests and quick response times! The house was incredible kitchen had all supplies so I was able to cook without missing anything! The fire pit and BBQ on front patio allowed for amazing memories! The rooftop patio, perfect for the morning sun! Walkable to Main Street and the beach! We never had to drive anywhere! Will definitely be staying here again!

Dexter’s Dockside, Long Beach Waterfront House
I could not say enough about my stay here. It was absolutely perfect. I couldn’t be anymore thankful for them letting us use the Airbnb and everything they did to make my stay nothing short of perfect. 10/10 I recommend this.

Ocean View Oasis Near Convention Center & Beach
This is the perfect place to stay. Perfect location you are walking distance from manny great locations in Long Beach. Sam is a great host and made arrival and check in super easy.

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
This condo was very beautiful and the views from the living room and dining room were amazing. Our only thing is we didn't realize how steep the stairs were, and my mother couldn't climb them, so she had to stay somewhere else. Then we checked out. So, we paid for something we couldn't enjoy and that was sad. Not even a small portion of a refund was offered to us.

Ocean View Studio Near Convention Ctr and Beach
Such a wonderful place and excellent host! Nico was so responsive and proactive! The place is adorable and walking distance to the beach, marina, convention center and many many restaurants. Had a great time. Oh I forgot to mention ton how comfortable the bed was. Better than anyplace I’ve ever stayed at. Loved it!

3 bedroom Condo in Dana Point
Over all a super cute condo, and a very nice location, just be aware that some of the doors to the rooms/restrooms don’t full close nor lock. But beautiful condo and great location

Spatious 2 bedroom apt, 1 block from beach
Maya’s place was awesome! It was walkable to great restaurants and the beach, and Maya was helpful and responsive to all of our needs.

Endless Sunset- Near Beach, Surf and Pet Friendly!
Five stars all around!!! Super clean, great location, all of the amenities you could want or need! My mother, two teen daughters, and I had the greatest time staying at this wonderful place.

Best S Bay Front location on Balboa Island Newport
The location is a dream, but what made this space really stand out were the charming Christmas decorations both inside and out, Susan’s quick responses when we had questions, willingness to help us with parking, and literally ANYTHING we needed. Also I just have to comment on how wonderfully comfortable the bed was in the master bedroom. A truly special place on Balboa island in a prime location - for a spectacular stay! Highly recommend! Thank you Susan!
