NB Peninsula 3 BR Step to Sand with AC, EV & park
This Airbnb was by far the best one I have stayed in yet! It was the perfect location and an easy walk to shops, dining and of course the beach!!! The view was beautiful. The house itself was perfect for my family. It was stocked with everything we needed. We especially loved the well stocked garage with bikes, beach chair, boogie boards and more! Matina was very kind and easy to communicate with and responded quickly to messages I left with her. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to everyone and I hope to stay here again the next time I am in Newport!

Balboa Breeze by AvantStay | Beachfront Retreat
The place was very nice, clean, and close to lots of restaurants. I wish it had been the upstairs unit, with not much space between the sliding door, the wall, and pedestrians walking by it was a little too close for comfort for me, otherwise it was a great condo. The hosts were very communicative. I have one CON, that bed is HARD AS A ROCK! But if you like a firm bed then it will work fine for you.
Modern Charm Balboa Beach House
Thank you Savannah for a lovely stay. We were in the area for a funeral so it was nice to walk around Balboa Island & Peninsula in our free time, including an hour or two on the beach. Your place was clean, efficient, and comfortable. You had all the amenities we needed. Thank you for your timely communications, you made it easy for us to be there.

Renovated home by the beach!
We celebrated our son's birthday at this location and it was a blast. So close to all the restaurants and bars and a five minute walk to the sand! We love Newport Beach and you cannot beat this location. We will hopefully visit again soon!

Laguna Beach Coastal Cottage - Steps to the Beach!
Annette’s place couldn’t have been more perfect for what we were looking for. My husband and I wanted a getaway that was relaxing, but in an area where there were restaurants, bars and close to the ocean, and this was it! The house was very comfortable and stocked with everything you can think of, including the hot tub in the back yard. We loved the special touch of Annette meeting us to walk through everything in the house.

Great place to stay for our Beach/Disney vacation. Just a block from the beach and 25 minutes to the parks. And everyone at HappiTravels was helpful— answered our questions and were there when we called.

Coastal Luxury Just 1 House to the Sand
This was the second time in the space of a year that we stayed at this property. It’s amazing for young families. Everything in walking distance and literally 100 yards from the beach. Very quiet area, and perfect location to walk around and explore. The property is kept so well, and always super clean and tidy. You really do feel at home here. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Will definitely stay here anytime we’re visiting Newport Beach!

Balboa Island: Bay Front, Beach Front!
This place was perfect! Very easy to get to main street shops. Beautiful view. Loved the 2 large couches so everyone cound sit in a large circle to talk with each other. Host was very fast answering any questions.
Beach house rentals with a pool

Harbour House: Beach, Pool/jacuzzi & Koi Pond.
We had a wonderful visit at Mai's place. The kitchen had everything necessary to prepare our meals and we appreciated the amenities stocked (salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, etc). Rooms were as described and we found it very spacious for a family of 6 adults and 3 young children. Our family really enjoyed the outdoor space, especially the Koi pond sitting area. The pool was very clean and we all enjoyed our time there, especially the kids. We made use of the BBQ and had no problems getting it started. Our only suggestion would be to update the instructions for the pool as it appears the host controls this via wifi and that is not stated in the instructions for use. Overall, we loved our stay and would not hesitate to visit again! Thank you to Mike & Mai for promptly responding to any of inquiries during the stay.

Huntington Haven: 3BR Comfort with Pool
Amazing stay! Place was handed to us just as described and communication was very easy with Lee. Recommend this stay highly!

Bright House in the Heart of Laguna, walk to Beach
Enjoyed our stay at The Bright House! Loved how quiet and peaceful the neighborhood was, and how close it is to the beach and great shopping and restaurants.

Vintage Beach Retreat | Pool, King Beds,Coffee Bar
We had a fantastic stay at Zev & Melissa Forrest’s place in Long Beach. The house was perfect for our group of three couples—spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. The location was ideal, within walking distance to the beach and the Long Beach Grand Prix, which was a highlight of our trip. The kitchen was beautiful, and the living space was perfect for relaxing after a day out. Thank you so much for hosting us!

D&B's Beach Home (2 bed/1 bath/pool/spa/patio)
Had a wonderful stay at DJ and Brandee’s home last weekend while my mom and I were in town for the Surf City Half Marathon! The house is gorgeous and comfortable with fantastic amenities - everything was as described. It’s a short walk to downtown and was perfect location for us to get to the starting line. The pool and their big comfy couch were perfect for our post-race recovery. The kitchen is awesome; I loved cooking in it. DJ and Brandee were fantastic hosts — always responsive and kind. Really appreciated their hospitality and highly recommend staying here if you get the chance. Thank you!!!

3BR Luxury, Near Beach/Disney; Pool is +$99/night
We stayed here for our spring break with my 6 kids. Ages 23-5. We are not partiers just a family get away to relax and cook together. We booked this place based on the pool and it was worth it for us. The previous reviews were alarming about quiet hrs and it being strict but we had no problem and stayed in the pool till 945 at night. I did tell me younger 3 kids to be quiet at night to be respectful and they were for the most part but definitely got loud with their voice a few times. Great house no complaints beds were very comfy!

Tablerock Beach House with pool
We usually stay at 5 star hotels in area but decided to try a home in light of our longer term stay. Fortunately, this home on west side of Pac-1, became available during our scheduled trip. Jynel's home met all of our interests and requirements: close walking distance to beach, a pool, easy access to town, comfortable layout, good parking, TV and a view of ocean. Jynel was very responsive to my questions during stay. Kitchen was well stocked and high-end coffee maker was nice touch and avoided having to go elsewhere. Host might consider adding a key for backdoor as easier to enter after beach. Although, we rarely stay at ABNB's or other online booked private homes, we thought Jynel's pricing was a good value; however, the cleaning fees should be a pricing range tied to each tenant circumstances determined post-stay) and ABNB's fees are still excessively high at 15%. In any case, Jynel should remain a superhost.

Beach Living - Pool/Spa Home in Seal Beach
Sue’s place was perfect for my large family and I!!! We truly enjoyed being there and felt at home. The kitchen was very well equipped so we can make great meals! The area was phenomenal! If we ever came back, we’d definitely book here again!

Ultimate Beach House -Big Patio, AC & Bikes!
Adorable place w nice finishes and super close to the beach. It’s in a great location with lots of bustle. We loved sitting on the little patio. All of Lisa’s instructions were super clear and specific. She was very responsive in bringing us more wine glasses when we noticed there was just one.

Newport Beach on the sand- lower unit rental
Location, location, location!! We loved our stay at this airbnb in Newport Beach. Being right on the sand just a few blocks from the pier and so many restaurants and shops was such fun. I worried about privacy with so many people walking, jogging, biking etc right past our front sliding doors - but I realized the glass is mirrored, so during the day no one can see in. At night there are full shades - so privacy was not a problem. The apartment looked just like the photos. It was very clean and had everything we needed despite how small it was. The hosts were very helpful and responsive. Great to have garage parking - but beware - it's a small spot. I would definitely stay here again.

Beachfront Casa de Balboa 223 -Best Views/Location

Seaside Retreat, one row from the sand
We enjoyed our stay. Great host, always replied quickly, and kindly accommodated check-in and check-out requests. Thank you!

Private Beach House
We had such a wonderful stay, loved the privacy and felt safe. Being on the beach was amazing. The beds were really comfy linens were clean and crisp. Love and appreciate that it was built in the 1950’s. It’s close to shopping and restaurants. Friendly neighbors. We will definitely be back. I couldn’t help myself and had to rake the yard of sand it was my zen.

Casa Del Mar on Beach Road.
We loved our stay in Dana Point and would recommend this airbnb without hesitation. The location is incredible and right on the beach. The home is so well-appointed, clean and comfortable. We had a ton of family fun with all the games and bikes and beach gear that come with the house. We got to see dolphins swimming in the waves right in front of the deck on our last day which was a real treat. Julie was a wonderful host - so thoughtful, kind, detailed, and easy to communicate with. We’d definitely come back and stay again if we get the chance! Thanks again Julie!

Balboa Island Retreat
It is lovely house that perfectly fit all 9 of our family members. We had plenty of room to cook, eat, and hang out. It is a great location across from yummy and very catering Mexican restaurant and just up the street is the ferry to take across the water to the fun zone. It is also in walking distance to Balboa’s Main Street with restaurants and shops. We had so much fun, that we want to go again!!

Surf, Sand & Sunsets - Front House CdM Goldenrod
Adelle’s place was exactly as described. Perfect location and very easy to access, we enjoyed taking walks in the neighborhood to the beautiful sunset spot over the bridge. The home was incredibly clean and comfortable, would recommend staying at Adelle’s it was five star.
