NicoleRating, 5 stars1 week 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.

OCEAN VIEW|Steps to the Beach, Main St. & Pac City

TracyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We stayed at the Dana’s Ocean View residence in Huntington Beach for several days in early May 2025. We brought our small pup hoping to find a location that was close to the beach and near restaurants and stores. Its proximity to so many places within walking distance means we can spend more time staying active and exploring places nearby. After long days of fun and sun, the back patio with a fire pit and grill meant we could relax outside while the ocean breeze rolled in. The residence itself was clean and well maintained. We would spend time here again without hesitation. Thank you Dana for allowing us to stay here!

Beach House 2 King Suites+Sleeper, Steps to Sand

Cindy And SteveRating, 5 stars2 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!

Downtown 2BR rental- walking to beach, shops, eats

JulieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This place was perfect for our family! My husband always has a difficult time sleeping away from home, but he didn’t have trouble sleeping here! The beds are super comfortable, along with the linens, pillows, etc. We were able to get great use out of the wagon and boogie boards. I loved the location; we walked to the beach in under 10min, walked to the grocery store, and of course my husband enjoyed his morning walk to Starbucks every morning. The kitchen had a beautiful gas stove where we enjoyed cooking every night. Greg, I can’t thank you enough for our best family trip yet!!!

Stylish & Sunny | OceanView~Pool

ZandraRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I absolutely loved this Airbnb! The 2 bed, 2 bath setup was perfect. The couches were super comfortable, and the view of the beach from the balcony was stunning. There was plenty to do in the area, yet it still felt peaceful and relaxing. You really can’t beat the location—just minutes from the Long Beach Aquarium and close to everything we needed. Hands down, one of my favorite Airbnbs ever!

Ritz Pointe Paradise!

AnnRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Nadine's place is full of extra touches, with upgraded bath products and kitchen dishes to well thought-out amenities throughout the house. She was super-responsive and our stay was exactly what we needed as we live nearby and were remodeling our house. The neighborhood is also quiet and friendly. I'd recommend her place to stay!

LAST MIN - Marriott's Newport Coast Villas

LiubovRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had an amazing stay! The resort offered so many activities, beautiful pools, and was just steps from the ocean. Everything was gorgeous, both inside and out. The room was clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed. Bethany was wonderful — easy to communicate with, very helpful, and always responsive. Any small needs we had were quickly taken care of by the resort staff as well. It was truly a perfect vacation. We would absolutely love to come back!

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.

Coastal Luxury Just 1 House to the Sand

ChrisRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

Charming Coastal Beach Cottage! For Work & Play!

ChristinaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Such a great location! It was our second time staying here, with two adults and two small children. Location is perfect in terms of proximity to the beach, shops, groceries etc. Also at a quieter part of the beach which we appreciated. Place was clean, amenities worked for what we needed and Kirsten was responsive when we had questions.
