Spectacular Malibu Beach Front
Overall a great place to stay in Malibu. Ideal location on the beach with its own private entrance. The house was complete furnished as described. If you plan to airbnb keep in mind that this place uses a septic tank. If you are not used to the smell of the septic tank it may throw you off. It wasn't a nasty smell but a unique odors that we needed to address occasionally with candles and airing out the unit.

Private Casita Room at Terranea Resort
Beautiful and peaceful casita, easy access to resort restaurants and hikes. Had the best time!

Oceanfront, NO Highway Noise, Right on the Water!
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Staying at Melody’s place was truly a dream. The home was not only beautiful and perfectly clean, but the breathtaking ocean view made every moment unforgettable. Falling asleep to the soothing sound of the waves each night brought such peace and comfort — it was an experience we will always treasure. Melody’s kindness, attention to detail, and thoughtful recommendations, like the easy walk to Nobu restaurant, made our stay even more special. It was the perfect couple’s getaway peaceful, romantic, and filled with special touches. We are so grateful for the chance to stay here and can’t wait to return. Thank you, Melody, for creating such a magical and memorable experience! ❤️

Marina Bay Retreat 2BD
A great finale to our vacation. The place was beautiful, and there was a stack of kid games my children made a bee line for!

Beautiful oceanfront Malibu condo
This was one of the most beautiful locations I have stayed at! I am an avid traveler and advisor, so I have stayed MANY places. This was my first visit to Malibu specifically, and Bill and his space were nothing short of amazing. You can hear the waves from anywhere in the home, and it is so peaceful. All of the linens and towels were cleaned, with ample amounts of extra pieces! There was also MULTIPLE different kinds of shampoos and conditioners that were provided, plus small things you may not think about such as cotton balls and Bobby pins. The kitchen has all condiments and every utensil you may need to cook! We felt safe and secure, and the neighbors were also so kind and lovely. The secured parking structure and entrance was helpful and the shared pool and hot tub were a great addition. This is a 10/10, and in walking distance to Nobu and other popular restaurants! If you are thinking of booking here, do not hesitate!

Views, Beach, Relax & more!
We really enjoyed our stay at Yese's condo! It was very easy to find and get into the unit, and Yese provided clear instructions which included pictures for the parking garage. The unit itself was very clean and organized and had all of the basics! It was conveniently located for everything we had planned and within driving distance of a lot of local hotspots. Would definitely stay again, and recommend if you are looking to be in the MDR area!

Waterfront Marina View w/ Private Promenade Access
The views are wonderful and walking around the marina is pretty. The condo is spotless. Claudia was extremely responsive throughout the rental. I see why she is Superhost. It was winter so we didn’t use the pool, but the pool area and close-by patio area with hot tub are nice. Whole Foods in Venice is great and close by, as is Costco, so we had many meals at ‘home.’ A few cons: there is no bedroom. It is a studio. No fluffy white towels in bathroom as shown. Can’t use the small balcony. Finally - not a reflection on the host at all, but the building has shared water and morning showers were not always hot. Evening showers were fine. A nice place if you want a home base away from downtown in a pretty area.

Stylish & Sunny | OceanView~Pool
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!

koolkondo Malibu Oceanview Getaway
Excellent property with excellent owners - we stayed for a couple of days during our son’s Pepperdine graduation and the property met our needs. Very spacious kitchen and living room. Amazing ocean views. Very clean. Strong communication. Highly recommended

Lovely Waterfront 2BDRM + Luxury Amenities
Beautiful quiet condo. We love Peter’s rentals… they are very clean, quiet and in the best location. Lots to do in the area…. We will definitely come back⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Modern Marina del Rey Oasis | Pool & Jacuzzi
Nice place - in line with the description. Having a parking spot secured is a big plus. The flat by itself is very nice and well equipped..nothing is missing to have a pleasant stay. Plublic Transportation is at the corner of the bloc - will get you to Santa Monica pier in roughly 30mn. Then from there - metro rail is available to get you anywhere in LA Overall I recommend this place - and furthermore Alisa has been great to communicate with.

"The Oasis" Sunset Beach, 5 houses from the sand
We brought our adult children and grandchildren (three little ones 6 and under) and it comfortably fit all seven of us. It could have easily accommodated the 10 listed on the ad. The grandchildren were especially excited about their accommodations (each had their own bed) and about the little goodies that Whittney provided. They squealed with delight for at least five minutes as they explored every room and the yard. It's right next to a busy street, however, at night it was very quiet. It has its own driveway, which made parking super convenient. And, of course, its proximity to the beach and sand is the best part! I would definitely stay here again.

June 10% Off - Beachfront Home w/Spa, Deck+VIEWS
Stayed here for a long family weekend and had a wonderful time! Our kids (3 and 5 years old) loved the direct beach access and the hot tub on the deck is shallow enough for them to stand in safely. House is well stocked with all the towels and toys you’ll need to enjoy the beach. Tyler was very responsive, helpful and made sure our stay was perfect. If you’re looking for a beachfront home to enjoy with families, this is the house!

OCEAN Front Bluff Park Villa W/ HOT TUB
We booked Susan's home for my girls birthday and her friends. They had an absolutely wonderful time! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The home itself is stunning, with amazing views and a peaceful atmosphere. Susan was always responsive, and accommodating! The location overlooking the ocean was perfect!

Luxury Duffy Boat + Bayfront Paradise | 5 Star Gem
The place was wonderful and the amenities made it all the better. The bbq boat and hot tub were a little tricky to get started but Shane was very responsive and quick to help. The duffy boat was a hit and so easy to use. The only downside was the parking, it was a little tricky to figure out but it was fine. There was also construction outside during the first night that shook the entire building at 2am but that’s more of the cities issue. overall, the stay was wonderful and can’t wait to come back

Manhattan Beach Beachfront On The Strand
Amazing location right on the strand with the beach a few steps away. Loved the breeze and seeing and hearing the ocean while relaxing in the living room or on the patio. I used the awesome hot tub every night. John is super friendly and helpful and came down to show me everything when I arrived. Will definitely be back!

Steps to Venice Sand | BBQ, Fire Pit, Parking
The house is ideal for visiting the area with some friends over the weekend. It is literally a stone's throw from Venice Beach area and bars such as the venice whaler. Shawn was also a responsive and attentive host, would definitely stay again!

OCEAN VIEW|Steps to the Beach, Main St. & Pac City
Had a wonderful stay at this cozy surf house near Huntington Beach! I booked it as a Father’s Day getaway for my husband and our daughters, and it turned out to be the perfect spot. The location was fantastic—just a short walk to the beach—and the house had everything they needed for a relaxing and fun trip. Our host was incredibly responsive and kind, offering great local food recommendations that helped make the experience even more memorable. You can really tell they care about their guests. The space was clean, comfortable, and had a laid-back charm that fit the beach vibe perfectly. My family had a great time and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Malibu Beachfront 2 bedroom gem
Absolutely amazing place and location. Great communication! Very satisfied. The house was clean and organized. Beautiful views 🌅 Thank you!

Cozy Beach Gem
We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was very comfortable and perfect for our stay. TV options were great for relaxing at night. Mark was very helpful and responded very rapidly to any questions we had. having a designated parking spot was amazing. would definitely stay again.

Santa Monica DREAM Modern Home
Such a fun house! My kids loved the different levels and there was a place for everyone to relax which is always so nice on vacation. Great communication from Summer and I enjoyed having the gated entrance. Tip - Totally our fault but the city is serious about parking on the correct side during sweeping! Summer warned us and gave us a great parking pass and we just missed moving the car. Ticket is $75. Hoping that will save someone else some spending money.

Downtown 2BR rental- walking to beach, shops, eats
This was one of the best AirBnB’s we have stayed at. It was very clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed. My husband loved the large box of condiment packets so we didn’t need to buy any. Keurig with lots of flavors was also nice so we didn’t have to buy coffee. The beds were very comfortable and had the most comfortable sheets. Space is a little tight, but it was just fine for what we needed. I would definitely stay here again.

Two Bedroom Beach House Minutes From Carbon Beach
Great location, amazing view. responsive host, comfy beds. Super comfy couches near great restaurants coffee shops and stores. Parking and entry were a breeze. simple instructions. little deck area behind the metal street gate helped with unloading and dogs. Stayed a week, end came too soon.

#2 1877' SF 2bd/2ba 50yds to beach 2 car garage
Thanks for a wonderful stay, the place was perfect for us, with our own bathrooms and fantastic location! Thank you for having us. And the two parking spaces in the garage were a huge help.
