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

Minnie's Marvelous Escape 8 mins 2 Disney &ConvCtr
Great communication, lovely house! Would definitely stay again

Ritz Resort home @ Monarch Beach
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!

Custom Craftsman With Hot Tub Close to Ocean
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!

Beautiful Tuscan Villa Casita with pool and spa
Absolutely beautiful space! It almost seems like you’re transported somewhere else, even another time. It was all great! And being one who usually avoids host interactions, Margarita and her husband couldn’t have been more welcoming. 10/10 would reco!

Mediterranean Resort Style Living
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!

2.3m to Disney/Knots/Hollywood/Universal studio
Judy’s home was perfect for our family with littles, more than enough room and great backyard to wind down in before and after visiting the parks. Jacuzzi was amazing and ready for use when we arrived. Will definitely consider staying here again on our next visit!

Wrigley Historic Home
Irma’s place was great we enjoyed our stay and she is very fast at being responsive to any questions or problems you might have.

Orange Slice - Near Disneyland, Chapman Univ.
Tony was extremely easy to work with. Very communicative. Any time i reached out to him, he responded promptly. The location was great and the airbnb was awesome. Super clean, very well kept and private and quiet. I would definitely stay there again. Thank you Tony for providing an exceptional experience.

BelmontShoresBH - A
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.

Private Apartment near the Beach with free parking
Such an affordable place to stay for the incredible location! The amenities of a balcony and a washer/dryer were very helpful. The host also had plenty of beach gear to use, so we had everything we needed for a beach day!

Cottage by the Sea (dog friendly)
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
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!

Location, location, location!
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!

Cottage by the Harbor
Ed was a great host. The house was beautiful and fully stocked with everything you could think of, even Qtips in the bathroom and a dog bowl for my pup! Beds were comfy and house was very clean - yard was a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful Cali weather. Can’t wait to rent again!
Family-friendly home rentals with a pool

Walk to Disneyland 4BR 4BA, Pool/Spa, LiveFirework
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.

PRIVATE POOL HOME, Walk & Hop to DISNEY, GAMEROOM
Susy was a great host. She checked in with us and made us feel very comfortable. She also helped look for some items we had left behind.

Walk to DLand! Modern Pool Home w/ Opt Pool Heater
Great place. Highly recommend. Nice quiet neighborhood in a very walkable location.

Relaxing Spanish Stunner House near the Queen Mary
Great place in a great location. We stayed twice in one week. 😊. Very convenient if you are boarding the Catalina express, Only eight minutes away

Entire Guest Pool House
Place was an amazing stay. The area was nice and quiet. Entrance to the place was very easy and the place has a pool and outdoor patio with a fire pit which was amazing! Beds and sheets were very comfortable and soft with an AC available. The room has a complimentary coffee station which was amazing!!! The place was clean and aesthetic! Highly suggest this place!

Beautiful Oasis-Centrally Located
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. 🙌

Free ticket to Disney - Heated pool & walking dist
Location perfect for Disneyland. Carmen is extremely responsive. We needed pillows and she provided immediately what we needed. Pool heating is worth it, kids could swim in the morning. Thankful for the pool towels and bath products provided. Easy in and out. Cute neighborhood. Very safe. We flew out of John Wayne which was so easy. Thank you.

Whittier destination Atlantic Cottage
The cottage was very cute and cozy. It was extremely clean! It was a great home-base for our adventures to Disneyland, the Queen Mary, and Hollywood. It was also convenient to local restaurants.
