Spacious Coastal Apartment in a Colorful Community
The apartment layout is reasonable, the decoration is comfortable, and it is very convenient to move in and park. The kitchenware is very complete. The apartment is on the second floor and you need to carry your luggage upstairs by yourself. Staying here gives a very homey feeling.

Fantastic Vacation Condo on the Bay
Sharon’s Newport Airbnb was the perfect getaway with stunning views and a comfortable family vibe… perfect for the 6 of us… The beds made for a great night’s rest, and the place had everything we needed. Being able to easily park 2 vehicles was a huge plus. And, place is within walking distance of many conveniences including a deli and pharmacy.

28th St - 1 House from the Sand w/ Rooftop Deck
Our second time at the property - we returned as we like it so much! Quiet and private, yet only 20 feet from the beach front. Close to amenities - Pavilions supermarket, Chipotle for great food, and Handels for awesome ice-cream! We hope to return in the future!

Beach condo feels like tropical cottage getaway!
Had a nice at Oceanside for my Ironman weekend. The apartment is a walking distance from the pier and the harbor, and the beach.

3bd Beach House A Strand of Paradise
Came here for our family Spring Break get away! We all had a wonderful time! The view is way better in person and the waves crashing at night meant a peaceful nights sleep! Highly recommend for families or group getaways! Fully stocked kitchen was an added bonus!

5-Star Luxurious South Bay Front Beach House
Beautiful downstairs unit on the water. Very clean and comfortable. Fantastic location and incredibly close to the main street. We loved sitting outside and watching the boats and people. We had all types of weather (cloudy and crystal clear) and it was all perfect for different reasons. The kitchen was well stocked. We didnt cook but we baked. I would have loved a kettle but a pan worked just fine. The beds were comfortable and there were enough linens and pillows. Extra too! I appreciated the knit throw blankets as well. I appreciated the washer/dryer and supplies. We washed our towels halfway thru our stay. There were a lot of rules, repeated many times in many different ways, so it made me nervous for the first few days of my stay. I swept and spot clean the floors just to make sure. The unit was a little spendy but it may have been due to the Easter holiday. Communication was good before/during/after our stay. We left something there and they shipped it to us.

Beachfront Condo | Location | Endless Views | Surf
The place was exactly as described — spacious, clean, and right on the beach, which made it super convenient. It easily accommodated our group of 7. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. There was plenty of parking for all our guests, and we loved how close it was to restaurants and stores. Would definitely stay here again!

Modern Beach home minutes to the Beach & the bay.
We had an awesome stay here. The beach was a 20 second walk down the alley. Area was so pretty and clean and great restaurants and things to do within walking distance. Couldn’t recommend it more.

Kyle was a great host. Super responsive and helpful. We forgot one of our pups harnesses which has sentimental value. Kyle has agreed to meet us and return it. Not many people are that kind. It was so peaceful and relaxing, we didn’t want to leave. We would definitely recommend his home and would stay again. Thank you Kyle!

linvics resort
Staying at this Airbnb was a true delight! Linda is an exceptionally gracious host, and the space itself was immaculate. I especially appreciated the thoughtful note detailing the home and nearby attractions. The beautiful antiquities added such character, and the tranquil garden and sunroof provided a wonderfully peaceful escape. Its convenient proximity to the CalPoly campus made for easy walks, and the reliable internet allowed me to work seamlessly. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Cozy Boho Beach Bungalow • Big Backyard • Dogs!
We had a wonderful time at the Cozy Beach House! The area feels like a tiny beach town, just a few small shops and cafés. But, a 10-minute drive from major shops, restaurants, farmers market, and delightful marina village. We stayed with dogs, who enjoyed the fully-fenced (and paved) backyard, and lounging in the sun. We enjoyed the well-appointed, comfortable amenities, and the uncrowded beach a block away. The place is quirky, which makes it more charming, and very clean with modern appliances. (Some have called out the fire pit — it’s fussy but works with a little patience.) We plan to stay here again!

PISMO BEACH, Ca - full ocean view - sleeps 8
From the welcome mat message “Yay! You’re here!” to a smooth check in, Tracy and Randy’s place made a fabulous first impression. And that impression lasted throughout our entire stay. Their home was spotless and beautifully appointed. They thought of everything that you might need in the kitchen from a Keurig (with complementary pods!) to pots and silverware and glasses and servingware. There was also a wine fridge and toaster. TVs in every room where we streamed all our favorites. The beds were so comfortable! Bathrooms were beautiful with plenty of towels, soap, shampoo, and conditioner. The location was perfect - close to the beach and the pier and lots of fabulous restaurants. While close to everything, it still felt like an oasis with a breathtaking rooftop view! Tracy (whose breathtaking photography is on display throughout the home) and Randy were very responsive and had great recommendations! Easy access to SLO. Highly recommend and plan to stay there again soon!!

Classic beachfront home in Seal Beach, CA
This was a great location with an amazing host. Would stay again!

On The Beach 3BR+Den
Enjoyable location and place. Amy was extremely responsive. Even got some beach toys for our child.

NEW! Beach Front Coastal Living
This home is a treasure in a really lovely place. Couldn’t recommend the accommodation or the immediate area more. Glenn was very helpful when I was booking. There is a large grocery store within a short drive. The house is furnished and decorated well, the kitchen equipped for cooking and baking. The appliances all work well. I think the house has been renovated so that three were made one- so the layout is a tad bit unusual but we appreciated having spaces for all.

NEWLY RENOVATED - 1min to Sand & Sea - Dream Home
This house was perfect for our family of 5. Two teens biked to the boardwalk everyday. Adults enjoyed the walk to Urth cafe. The rooftop area was perfect for sunning and we all enjoyed the pool table. We will definitely be back!

Newport Beach: Ocean Front Home and Balboa Pier
We had a beautiful 5 days at Ann’s place. We are hosts ourselves and still everything exceeded our expectations. We partied on the beach with friends but absolutely loved the 9pm quiet time. So nice not to have loud parties and beach activity disturbing our zen. We could enjoy the sunsets in peace and tranquility. We are already planning our next years trip. 5+++ stars for Anna and her family, we felt right at home!

Beach Front Home
For the last several years my wife and I have traveled to several different places using airbnb's to enjoy our vacations. This was by far the nicest, most pointed, detail oriented experience of all of our trips. This is the one you're looking for!
