Venice Studio – Steps from Boardwalk, Ocean View
I had a great stay at Venice! The room is convenient, cosy and kept us cool in the heat! Location is right by the beach and has a lovely little view. Can be a bit of noise in the morning from a garage nearby but honestly did not bother me. Communication and check-in information was nice and clear and I thought the place was very well priced for the location! Couldn’t have asked for more!

Steps from the SAND private suite on Peninsula
Will was a very responsive host and had great recommendations for the area. Just be aware that since this is an attached space to the next-door neighbors, the sound from upstairs is a bit prominent like footsteps/loud sound. Couple of knick knacks like the shower door and fridge door were to be fixed, but that was acknowledged to be repaired. Otherwise, I would love to stay here again.

Stunning Private 1 Bdrm Beach Apartment w/AC
David was an amazing host and very attentive to detail. His place was beautiful and very clean. He made sure we had everything we needed and was very communicative. The apartment is right next to the beach and in a quiet Neighborhood. I definitely recommend this place and will be returning soon.

Unique, historic Beach pad. Very well appointed.
We loved staying at this cute little bungalow. The location was perfect, the decor was cute, and there was plenty of space. One of the things that was a blessing, there was TP, paper towels, and a few necessities that we did not have to run out and purchase more. Access to beach towels, chairs, and bikes was a plus. The location was easy in and out and the parking space was a bonus. There was just 1 day that someone parked in our space so we took our car to our sons and parked there, luckily he was close. I would highly recommend this space to anyone traveling to Santa Monica, it was just perfect! Thanks and happy summer.

RENOVATED Bungalow Steps to Beach, Shops & Dining
We enjoyed our stay at Jonathan’s Friendly neighbors and really liked the location.

OCEAN-FRONT | On Beach/Strand | KING Bed | Views
Gorgeous views!! Emily was very responsive and easy to communicate with:)

Ollie’s Kitchen Bed & Breakfast II
My husband, two girls, and I absolutely loved our stay at Ollie’s place! The location is perfect, and sitting in front of that window every morning with my coffee is something I’m going to daydream about nonstop. We walked right out to the beach every morning after breakfast, and Ollie had chairs, toys, and much more for us to use on the beach. Her breakfast each morning was such a treat! We couldn’t get enough of her delicious baked treats. Ollie is so kind, and is super quick to respond with anything you may need. Thanks Ollie for the best family vacay! ❤️

Relaxing Marina Escape with Scenic Water Views
The apartment was clean and had a terrific view. We loved the neighborhood and walked by the ocean everyday.

Malibu PCH - across the street from the ocean!
Nice studio close to the beach and the everything Malibu has to offer

Cool Cali Vibe - Barefoot Stepping Distance 2 Sand
We enjoyed our time here very much, thanks you Angela and the hosting team, your proactive messages and tips were very helpful and made our stay better than we even expected!

Waterview from your Private Patio + Dogs Welcome!
We loved absolutely everything about our stay at the Lost Shaker of Salt airbnb. The place was immaculate when we arrived and the layout was ideal for us, plenty of space for 3 adults and 2 dogs. The yard was set up nicely with chairs, lights, umbrella and firepit and view of the water. We loved walking along the beach with our dogs and the town has lots of restaurants with dog friendly patios. We would definitely stay here again.

The Surf Casita - Luxury Central Beach Retreat
This house is in an amazing spot. Restaurants and bars are close by. Walkable to the beach. I loved the automation in the house and everything was how it was described. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here.

Chic Venice House | Beachfront Walk | Balcony
Zev & Melissa’s AirBnb was great! Check in was very easy and instructions were very clear and helpful. The home matched the photos and the unit had all needed amenities. The beach was steps away and lots of great restaurants within walking distance. We hope to stay here again soon!

The Boat House on Rivo Alto Canal
We were looking for a place that we could rest and relax for a few days. We were not looking for places to visit or a lot of activities, even though this property is located where you have those things to choose from. This property fit our needs perfectly. Coffee in the morning sitting outside in the beautifully decorated outdoor space, including a peaceful water feature was so nice. The home is beautiful and there wasn’t a single thing we wanted that wasn’t provided. Communications were very timely and they genuinely wanted you to have everything you needed to have a wonderful stay. I can’t imagine anyone not being 100% happy with this property and the host. We would love to return in the future.

Ocean/Sunset views 2Dream of /Private Home,parking
Victoria was an amazing host! Very communicative and such a kind heart. The fires were happening in the north and our friends we were meeting at her house, came in a day earlier and were staying in another hotel close to fires. She offered them to come a day early to get away from the smoke!! Her house was south of fires, so we were OK here. She then offered us a late checkout as our flight wasn't until 8pm at night. This was so welcome as we have young children. She really went above and beyond! Her place is very homely and great to be close to the beach. Thank you for everything Victoria :)

Beach house on the corner minutes to Disneyland
This is in a great location. The home has whatever one may need including an iron, steamer, dishwasher, grill, washing machine and dryer. Easy to walk anywhere in town. Nice front patio to relax on.
Waterfront condo accommodation

BRAND NEW Luxury 1 Bedroom Condo next to the Beach
Great spot! Very clean and well designed.

Port Hueneme 2 Bd, 2BA w/ Ocean View Beach Living
My wife and I stayed here while I attended a conference 45 minutes away, inland. I’m so glad we stayed where we did because of the views. Not difficult to get around. Grocery store and restaurants are not a far drive away. The place had everything we needed. Older adults, so pretty quiet. You can see and hear the ocean from the condo. Host was quick to respond to any questions.
Christopher - 2001 Court St.
This is the perfect little place right next to New Port Pier. It was clean and spacious. It was fun to be next to the pier with all the restaurants and shops. The beach is just steps away and they have a cute farmers market on Sundays. It was perfect.

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.

Beautiful oceanfront Malibu condo
This was one of the most beautiful locations I have stayed at! I am an avid traveler and advisor, so I have stayed MANY places. This was my first visit to Malibu specifically, and Bill and his space were nothing short of amazing. You can hear the waves from anywhere in the home, and it is so peaceful. All of the linens and towels were cleaned, with ample amounts of extra pieces! There was also MULTIPLE different kinds of shampoos and conditioners that were provided, plus small things you may not think about such as cotton balls and Bobby pins. The kitchen has all condiments and every utensil you may need to cook! We felt safe and secure, and the neighbors were also so kind and lovely. The secured parking structure and entrance was helpful and the shared pool and hot tub were a great addition. This is a 10/10, and in walking distance to Nobu and other popular restaurants! If you are thinking of booking here, do not hesitate!

Spatious 2 bedroom apt, 1 block from beach
We picked this Airbnb for the convenience of being near the beach and other amenities. It was a perfect place for our stay. It was clean and comfortable. The area was quiet and peaceful. Would stay here again.

Malibu Oceanfront Condo
Pros: the place is very conveniently located, linens on the bed were so soft and comfortable. Kitchen had great appliances and amenities. Pool is heated and quite pleasant. Can walk to the Malibu Pier. Cons: beach felt isolated from the “action”, but for some this would be a positive since it’s pretty private. Biggest issue was cell service. Not home owners fault, but I have Verizon and had no service while in the condo. Like, no bars / SOS message. And then when I left the condo and went to the pool I had no WiFi or cell service. Not a huge deal but a minor inconvenience worth pointing out.

Newly Renovated Oceanfront Carbon Beach Escape
Family get away with our adult “kids”. Perfect spot to enjoy the beach, close surf spots and walkable to local eateries. Pool and hot tub are a great add! Just the right place for us!
