BelmontShoresBH - A

NicoleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.

Oceanfront Penthouse with Private Deck & Grill

ChristineRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Tamara’s place was the best decision we made for the trip. Everything we planned was 20+ mins away but well worth to get away from the hustle and bustle after a full day of activities. Very clean, spacious yet cozy and relaxing with the sound of the ocean just steps away from you. Tamara is also very responsive, accommodating and kind. If we can’t book here, we will 100% adjust our plans so we can come back. :)

Beach House 2 King Suites+Sleeper, Steps to Sand

Cindy And SteveRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Loved the location on the peninsula. We were able to walk to the beach, to restaurants and really enjoyed being able to use the rooftop deck. Beds were super comfortable and the place was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. It was very helpful also to have the garage for our car and e-bikes since parking is such a challenge in that area. Appreciated our host being available for any questions on arrival and throughout our stay. Hope to visit again!

"THE REEF" HOUSE 1-Short Block to Ocean! NFLTicket

AlbaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Home away from home with a beach. This has been one of the most peaceful coziest serene homes we have ever stayed. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left this home was nothing but positivity for our family. The amenities provided by the hosts were more than adequate to provide a family many memories. The seclusion we had during our stay was better than perfect. The host was thorough in communicating house rules and making accommodations during our stay. Would recommend this bungalow for any family to enjoy. Will be back soon.

1940's Original Lakeside Vintage Cabin ON the Lake

VivianRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Omygosh, this property is magically magnificent. The grounds are absolutely beautiful starting with the beautiful staircase down to the property. The lake view literally took my breath away. I almost want to gate keep this property. The cabin was, clean, warm and cozy. Kitchen has everything you need. I had a wonderful steak dinner which I grilled outside and ate in the gazebo. The cabin is truly vintage and very unique. It really is amazing to step into 1940’s experience. This is my favorite Big bear lake cabin and I will be returning few more times this summer. Cindy was so amazing every step of the way. She checked on me to make sure I was safe, settled and happy. I absolutely love this property ❤️

Honeymoon Cove Catalina Ocean view with golf cart

JoshuaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This unit within Hamilton Cove has been our best vacation yet. The views from the balcony were stunning. The entire unit felt clean and was very spacious for me and my now wife. The golf kart was a plus - it was a short 5-8 minute ride into downtown. Hosts were responsive. Definitely will be coming back to stay here again!!

LUXURY ocean front/view PRIVATE SANDY BEACH condo

AriRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Letuanny and this property were excellent. She is an exceptional host - very responsive and helpful. The apartment itself is very comfortable and elegant. The view is astounding, as are the amenities such as the pool, right alongside the beach. The only downsides are that you can't use the gym unless you are staying more than 6 months (this is the association rule, not the host's), and the surrounding neighborhood is a bit limited as to dining options. That said, I would definitely stay here again and commend Letuanny on being an excellent host.

Oceanfront villa w/ One of a kind Amazing View

NicoleRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We were celebrating my mom’s 80th birthday. Girls trip. The place was amazing! So very beautiful. The furnishings,like the dining table and table in the living room also the headboards in both bedrooms were spectacular! The views were awesome from every room. Our local contact person was Ana and she was very helpful during our stay, especially the night we locked ourselves out on the patio!! She rushed right over and was very nice to us , when she could’ve been irritated with our interruption of her evening. But she greeted us with a beautiful smile and kindness. The location is great, we liked being the short distance from the main shopping and restaurants. It was just a short golf cart ride to get there, but far enough away to feel relaxing and peaceful at the day’s end. All in all we couldn’t have asked for a better place. Im so glad I found it

Rancho Relaxo / Spacious Detached Guest House

JaneRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
my daughter and I stayed at Susie and Britt's poolhouse for 6 nights when we were in the San Diego area for a wedding. At first we thought we would look for a beach rental but then heard that it can be foggy on the coast during May and June and going 5 miles inland can make a big difference with weather. we looked in Rancho Sante Fe because that we where the wedding venue was located and we really hit the jackpot! Everything is just as described- very relaxing times in the jacuzzi and by the fire pit in the evenings. The travel to the surrounding SanDiego sights was super easy. Highly recommend this rental!!!

Oceanfront Elegant Condo - Remarkable Amenities

TiffanyRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We enjoyed our stay at Andy’s place. It was plenty of space for 3 of us to stay. Great views. It gets a little warm at night in the bedroom without air conditioning but they do provide an extra fan which helps. Overall, the space was great and we would recommend to others.

Malibu Beach Cottage

KetiRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a wonderful time staying at Darryl’s place! If you love the ocean like we do - this is definitely the place for you! Wake up and fall asleep to the sound of the waves, it has a beautiful, private patio, a beach we have enjoyed during the day and multiple restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Darryl is a fantastic host! He was very accommodating, communicative, gave us recommendations and left us a bottle of wine, bottles of water and snacks! We loved Darryl’s place and highly recommend it! We’ll be back again!

Juniper Point Cottage Waterfront

JoshuaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
It was an adventure from the moment you turn on the dirt road with spanning lake views; we pulled to Juniper point. We were warmly greeted upon arriving and told of all the amenities we could enjoy while on the property. This included life vest for our small children, kayaks, paddle boards and a playground! Our cottage was well decorated with great views and lighting, efficient AC and accouterments expected in a working kitchen. With the aroma of a clean environment we were satisfied with the upkeep between guest. We totally recommend this place and look forward to visiting again in the near future. The host is very helpful and easy to communicate with. Just a great time vacationing at this property!

Hummingbird House in Charming Cambria

KerryRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was my first Airbnb stay and it was wonderful. The separate living spaces were very convenient as both of us enjoy togetherness and privacy. We actually ate all our meals in the house as we brought our own groceries and that worked really well for us. Walking to Fiscalini Ranch was fantastic, and it was an easy drive to explore Moonstone Beach and both sets of town. Highly recommend Hummingbird House!

Beach Getaway, Steps to Sand. Free 2 Kayaks 2 SUP

MyraRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had a great time here! Easy to get to and we got lucky with the parking. Being so close to the beach usually has parking issues but it was not bad. It was clean and the perfect size. Appreciate the coffee, sugars and creamers. The windows were opened when we arrived so it was already pretty cool inside and only used the ceiling fans at night. It’s a very quiet area so we slept great in the very comfortable bed. Very happy to have all the beach necessities there. That was one of the reasons I chose this home. Loved having the kayaks to go around the bay looking at all the pretty beach homes. Just steps to the bay and the beach on the other side. Walking on the beach and then watching the sun set was beautiful. Would totally stay there again. Thank you John.

NEW Oceanfront Oasis On theWaves

ShreeshRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Dan & Britt are very gracious hosts! They were proactive in reaching out to us to make sure we were comfortable and were attentive to our needs throughout our stay. Their Airbnb was better than the photos and my family and I absolutely loved the views it offered as well as the neighborhood of Oceanside. The house itself was very spacious and clean. We had a chance to truly decompress for a couple of days! I would highly recommend a stay here and we plan on going back.
