Apt 2: Luxury 2 bedroom 2 bath, steps to beach
I and my family had a fantastic time staying at Elena’s place! The apartment was exactly as described – clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything I needed. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Beach Getaway | Walk to Main Street
Spacious, clean lodgings on the first floor of an older home with very quiet renters upstairs. It worked great for our two-week stay in Ventura.

Calypso Breeze|Jacuzzi|Walk to the Beach|Games|BBQ
10 Stars to our host and this beautiful space! I had family in and we were able to enjoy our time together and have our own space as well. The backyard was perfect for relaxing or enjoying time together. The short walk to the beach was perfect, and the Jacuzzi was such a treat! Pretty late on our first night we realized the Jacuzzi wasn’t getting as hot as it should and contacted Victor. By the time we woke up in the morning, the technician had come out and fixed it so we were ready to enjoy our time. We enjoyed every minute and will absolutely be back.

2BR Beach Loft 1/2 Block to Beach and Pier
Everything was smooth from check-in to check-out! Our stay at James’ place couldn’t have been better. He was super communicative and the location was phenomenal, just steps from the beach and so many fun things to do in SB. Would love to come back!

The Well Ocean View Bungalow #5
Fantastic accommodation in such a cute small coastal town. The bed and linens are so comfy. All the decor is perfectly picked out. We can’t wait to come back for a longer visit!

Upstairs Apartment Near UCSB
We had everything we needed, plenty of space and were very comfortable during our stay. We were visiting our son at UCSB and the location couldn't have been better. The trails right outside the door were beautiful and a nice treat. We hope the place is available next time we visit!

Carpinteria Beach Studio Condo
Had the best Carpinteria getaway! 🌴🌊🙋🏼♀️ This amazing studio is steps from the beach & shops/restaurants, and has all the comforts and amenities of a true home away from home. Michael is a wonderful host who’s communicative, friendly, and provided the best experience. Highly recommended! ✨

Seaside Escape II. Walk to beach, State St., more!
We had a great stay at this spacious apartment. Perfect location just a couple blocks from the water and restaurants. This is an older but charming place, and we understood that before renting. Comfortable bed and sleeper sofa for our son. Would stay again.
House rentals with beach access

Islandview Beach House, Hollywood Beach, Oxnard CA
We had a great stay at this beautiful residence. The hosts were amazing. They provided snacks, fruit, drinks and many other food items for our stay! We stayed over New Year's Eve and they even provided party items. The residence was just as pictured. It's location is great, just next to the beach. Thank you for a great stay!

The Beach House at Silver Strand, Channel Islands
Great house for our family. All adult children had their own bedrooms, kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed the rooftop patio. Very close to the beach, just 1 minute walk.

Sunny Garden Home near the beach
Marty and Carey's home was a perfect place for our friends' reunion! The home is spacious, clean, comfortable, and with great decor. The kitchen was well-stocked and we loved the openness of it. The couches and beds were very comfortable for lounging and sleeping. The backyard is so beautiful and peaceful, we spent most of our free time out on the patio, and the kids loved the swings. The hot tub was a big hit with everyone, and we enjoyed being so close to the mesa bluffs and the private beach. We can't wait to come back again!

Immaculate Ventura home near beach!
The Caseata was cozy and clean, my daughters made themselves at home in the first 10 min. The house is conveniently located close to the beach, the Botanical Garden and our favorite downtown Ventura area where the shops and restaurants are at. The neighborhood was also quiet and felt very safe. We had a lot of fun staying there.

Newly Remodeled Surf Cottage Footsteps to Ocean
This was a very cozy and comfy little home. Relaxation is what you're definitely going to get. It was soo peaceful and quiet and VERY close to the beach 👍👍 I believe David was/is the best host we've come across on Airbnb. David was VERY informative and responded to my questions immediately (I'm very thankful). The house was very clean and organized. The laundry/ garage is a definite help. And a lot of room for the pups to play and walk around. My wife and I will DEFINITELY be coming back . Thank you again David 👍👍

Spacious Beach House!Guest Favorite!Backyard!
Great stay. A mile from the beach. Perfect for a big family! The host was very friendly and responsive.

Casa Conchita: Modern home with private beach
This place is one to go back to. The home is beautiful, the view and location are awesome. The accessibility to the beach is so fun. Our family had an amazing time here. It had everything we needed to enjoy the house and ourselves. I highly recommend it.

🌊Silverstrand Beach 3 bd 2b 4 min to sand
This house worked great as a home base for our day trips to the Channel Islands. The kitchen was well-stocked, the rooms worked well for our kids, and the upstairs primary suite was large and comfortable. We would love to come back!
Condo rentals with beach access

Ocean View Steps to the Sand! Luxury 2 bdrm Condo
Comfortable place in a quiet complex with private entry to the beach. Convenient location to explore the area from.

Surfside Zen Steps to the Beach!
We loved our stay. It was a wonderful spot for our family to find peace during a trying time. A few short minutes from a very lightly trafficked beach; we could not have asked for a better place to stay. We are so grateful for the accommodations!

Two Bedroom Home Near Beach (Santa Barbara)
The place is clean and cozy, and the location is great. Close to the beach and to the downtown. We enjoyed our stay.

Spectacular Beach Retreat 3Bd/2Bth + Ocean View
We enjoyed our time here very much.. . It felt welcoming and cozy from the moment we arrived. Suneetha is a fantastic host she is very responsive, friendly, and puts so much care into making her guests feel comfortable. It was truly a great experience. Thank you Suneetha!

Luxury Oceanbreeze Beach Condominium
This is a sweet little beach condo! It was very clean and well-decorated! The setup with the two bedrooms and bathrooms was perfect for our group. We also appreciated that it was dog-friendly. The home is in a gated community. During your initial check-in, the host lets you in through the visitor gate. You're then supposed to receive a clicker that allows you to let yourself in through the resident gate. Through no fault of the host's, the resident gate wasn't working, so the host had to let us in each time we wanted to enter. This presented some challenge for us, but Roza was very apologetic, responsive, and went out of her way to make sure that she was available for us each and every time we needed access through the gate. Easily the most attentive Airbnb host we've ever had! We would be happy to stay here again the next time we're in the area!!

Really cool 2 bedroom, close to the beach!
Michael has a really nice spot near Ventura. Located near both the bay and beaches I would gladly stay again if in the area. Ventura is a beautiful town with a ton to do.

Spectacular Beach Retreat with Ocean View 5minWalk
Shamim’s place was perfect. It’s a really nice condo in a cute neighborhood. Hueneme beach is indeed only a 5 minute walk from the condo and is a really beautiful beach. The club house indoor pool and hot tub were also a great bonus for our stay. We really appreciate the clear instructions before our arrival and the amenities were nice. The beds were comfortable and the living room with the large tv was nice for a family movie night one evening. The condo is also close to Point Magu State Park which was another highlight of our trip hiking and checking out tide pools. We had a really nice stay and a fantastic trip!

Affordable Executive Getaway #11 — near beach
The apartment was perfect for our stay. Spotlessly clean, lovely furnishings and outdoor seating. The perfect location in Santa Barbara, easy to walk downtown and to the beach. Would highly recommend, the bottle of fizz on arrival was also a much appreciated treat!
