The Villa - Clean, Serene, Quiet & Amazing Views!

CandiceRating, 5 stars6 days ago
My family of 4 absolutely loved staying here for the four nights. It was super clean, extremely well stocked, and comfortable. Not to mention the pool and jacuzzi, the view and the peace and quiet! We would without hesitation book here again! Camille was so nice and communicative we felt like we were staying at a friend’s house.

Ritz Resort home @ Monarch Beach

SeungRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Very clean, cute decor, comfortable and spacious (for our family of 5people), has a lot of ample amenities even for kids! Clubhouse, pool & jacuzzi access. Securities at the gate were friendly and the Neighbors mostly seem don't mind having Air BnB guests in a gated community. Walking to Waldorf hotel took about 10m, beach about 20m. But the restaurants and stores were in short driving distance. We really enjoyed this spot. Thank you!

Jan and Dale's place felt like home. When we arrived we had a nice surprise from them, snacks, a bottle of wine and fresh flowers. The neighborhood felt friendly and it was a 5 minute drive from the beach. They exceeded our expectations and we hope to return soon!

This home was perfect for a laid back trip; the pool and hot tub were super relaxing, the backyard super private, and the inside was very comfortable and cozy. Jorgen was a very responsive and polite host! No trouble with parking, finding the place, or check-in. Jorgen made the entire process seamless so we could focus on our vacation. I would absolutely stay here again and appreciate Jorgen for opening his beautiful home to us!

Cottage by the Sea (dog friendly)

MeredithRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Five stars, 100%, A+! If you have the chance to stay here at Tonya’s beach cottage, don’t miss it! Perfectly appointed, clean & spare but warm and welcoming design and furnishings. Darling neighborhood with lovely walkable streets and a flower-lined pedestrian bridge leading to the beach a short 10 min walk away. And Tonya’s hospitality is truly a gift that she enjoys sharing with others!!! Gorgeous charcuterie board and a bottle of chilled wine were waiting for us upon arrival. And, by some magical combo of a lovely mattress, crisp cool sheets and ocean air, I experienced truly great sleep! Thank you so much Tonya!

Stylish Apt. Beach/Downtown/ & Convention Center

MarioRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Wessam’s home was a total gem! The pictures honestly don’t do it justice—it’s much more spacious and inviting in person. The space was clean, beautifully decorated, and had such a warm, cozy vibe that made it easy to relax and feel at home. The location is perfect—right in the heart of Long Beach, with easy access to great restaurants, coffee shops, and the beach. Check-in was super smooth with the smart lock, and parking in the driveway was super convenient (just make sure to pull all the way forward as noted in the instructions). Wessam was a communicative and thoughtful host, and everything was exactly as described. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful stay in Long Beach!

DianeRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This was our second year staying here. The home is large,spacious and very comfortable! We brought our 4 young grandchildren and the lovely outside patio area was just perfect for them to eat, play, and run around. The kitchen and laundry was stocked with laundry and dish soap, paper towels and basic condiments. We were a large group of 6 adults and 4 small children and we loved all the family time and comfort this home offered. When we return to Huntington Beach we will most definitely stay here!

Olive Beach Bungalow

We just had an amazing week long vacation for our family of 5 at Sean's place. It had everything we needed and more! Just a few steps from the beach and Sean's place has all the amenities and beach accessories you'd need! (Bonus: the beach location is near the end of Newport beach, a bit quieter and less busy than main part of the beach). We had a great time and would highly recommend!

Yan’s place was exactly what we needed for a big family resting place. The expectations of the place were well communicated and friendly reminders were plastered all around the house to refer to on our last night and morning. Everyone had a great time, there was a point of great discomfort for me but after speaking with Yan, she assured me of a speedy solution.

First off I want to say the pictures don’t do the back yard any justice. It’s so beautiful and the perfect get away trip without having to break the bank. Definitely worth every penny We loved it and we will be returning again! P.s. Just make sure you bring some bug spray there is a bunch of mosquitos in the back yard, we didn’t have any so don’t be us lol. 🙌
