Long Beach Retreat
My Friends and I only stayed for one night. The place is really nice and is fully stocked from the kitchen to the bathrooms. We wished we were staying longer to take advantage of all the kitchen ware. The location is close to everything, the beach, restaurants, and downtown. We loved the roof top deck! Would definitely go back if it was available again.

Cute One BR in Rose Park South w/1 Parking Space
Maria's place was absolutely delightful! The location is unbeatable, right near everything you could need. From the moment we arrived, both she and her husband made us feel right at home. Having a grocery store just across the street was incredibly convenient, and we loved discovering the nearby taco stand—such a treat! Gusto's bakery was an incredible find, just a short walk away, and we took full advantage of the easy stroll to the beach for free yoga sessions on the bluff. Maria's thoughtful touch of providing yoga mats was such a bonus! We truly appreciated that so many stores and restaurants were within walking distance, which made our stay even more enjoyable since we didn't need a car to explore the area. The unit itself was spotless and secure, plus it was stocked with a variety of extra amenities like coffee, tea, cooking essentials, and personal care items. Overall, I can't recommend Maria's place enough. I hope to return!

Charming Balboa Island Apartment
Sharon's place was great! The location along Marine is perfect if you want to walk to shops and restaurants. The apartment was very cute and beachy - perfect for a SoCal getaway. And a pretty good size space compared to other places I've stayed on the island - cute living area, desk and dining area, outdoor patio. Love all the plants in the courtyard too ;) Sharon was an outstanding host - very friendly, communicated clearly, responsive, and all around made sure it was a great experience. Highly recommend!

Cozy Nautical Oasis - 1140 E 3rd St. Unit 1
We've stayed at this Airbnb multiple times over the past few months and it's always been a great experience. James has been a fantastic host—responsive, professional, and welcoming. Sonia has also been incredibly helpful and accommodating, especially with our requests to extend our stays. The space is clean, comfortable, and well-located in Long Beach, making it easy to feel at home. We really appreciate the flexibility and care they've shown throughout our visits. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the Long Beach area. Highly recommend!

Charming New2 BR Retreat Minutes from L.A. Beaches
Really great stay! Parking is rough if you’re not an LA native that’s use to driving in tight spaces. Place was clean and had lots of conveniences.

Belmont Shore! Private deck, walk to 2nd St/Beach
My family stayed here during the Christmas holiday and want to say this is such a wonderful place. I grew up in the area and this was always one of the more desirable neighborhoods to stay in, so 10/10 location. Aside from the great location, the place was perfect - easy to enter/exit, clean and open rooms and safe. It's a very comfortable and "homey" space with a great gathering area/living room and VERY comfy couches and beds. Marianne was also proactive about our stay and very easy to communicate with. I cannot stress how much we loved this place and how perfect it was for my family. We definitely will be staying here again.

Bright and Private Studio
We recently stayed at Geoffrey's, and it was a very welcoming experience. Geoffrey was communicative, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The place felt just like home, which was perfect for my family. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of having a book of restaurant recommendations available; it made exploring the area so much easier. I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a welcoming and convenient place to stay!

2-blocks to beach, private rooftop deck & PARKING
I had a wonderful long weekend stay at Nick and Kristy’s place in Newport Beach. Great location, close to beach and walkable to restaurants and shopping. Communication leading up to and during my stay was excellent! Kristy and Nick were extremely helpful and responsive throughout. The apartment is exactly as described and fully equipped with everything you need for a stay at the beach. The private rooftop deck is the icing on the cake!! Absolutely beautiful and peaceful for sunrises and sunsets. I highly recommend this rental and would definitely book again for future travel! Thanks Nick and Kristy!

3Bed 2Bath King Bed *LAX *Sofi *Disneyland *DTLA
April’s place was the perfect location for our stay! She was incredibly accommodating and attentive to any issues that came up, always providing great communication and hospitality. The amenities were excellent, and my pets were comfortable throughout our three-month stay. It truly felt like a second home! I would absolutely book with her again in the future :)

Elegant High-Rise Retreat with Spa & Fitness Oasis
We loved Jimmy’s place! It felt more like a nice hotel, with its modern design and super clean interior. The beds are SO comfortable and we slept great. The layout of the place was great- huge kitchen/living, two big bedrooms with dedicated baths, and our favorite- the deck! The deck is very large and overlooks a man made lake. The building has a lot of amenities if you want to use them. We had our dog with us, and appreciate the numerous dog friendly areas in the building, and especially the lovely walking loop around the lake with geese and ducks :) it feels safe and quiet, and the building was not loud even on the Friday and Saturday nights we were there. We would 100% stay here again. The only thing that needed a little more instruction was the parking garage- it’s not the most intuitive layout, but reception helped us- I recommend asking reception for directions before attempting on your own!
Custom Craftsman With Hot Tub Close to Ocean

Spectrum Center/Two Bedrooms and Two Bathrooms/Luxury Apartment/Kitchen/Pool/Gym
This apartment in Irvine Spectrum Center is good for short and long stays. Spacious, bright, tidy and comfortable. Daily necessities are well prepared. You can tell they put in the effort. The special touches are a small bottle of olive oil, a bottle of Maldon salt, and a bottle of black pepper. Fried eggs and steaks are very convenient.

Irvine Spectrum Resort Living with a View
Very nice neighborhood. Walking distance to Spectrum Center with everything there. Parking is very easy. Jay is very responsive. I asked for some extra quilt in the morning, which are ready in the afternoon already. Really enjoyed my stay there.
