Steps to Sand! 2bd/1ba-A/C-6 Blks to Pier-Duffy
The location is great. Just a few steps from the beach and a few blocks from bars and restaurants. Apartment is great. I recommend bringing own pillows. There is some street noise at weekends with people leaving bars and a nearby fire station, but nothing more than you would expect in a central location. You really can walk to a number of restaurants, bars and the beach. Much better value than any hotels in the area. Neighbors are quiet.

Beach House 2 King Suites+Sleeper, Steps to Sand
Loved the location on the peninsula. We were able to walk to the beach, to restaurants and really enjoyed being able to use the rooftop deck. Beds were super comfortable and the place was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. It was very helpful also to have the garage for our car and e-bikes since parking is such a challenge in that area. Appreciated our host being available for any questions on arrival and throughout our stay. Hope to visit again!

Original Beachfront on the Boardwalk Newport Home
Kirk was very friendly, responsive, and an overall nice guy. Loved the home and its location. The place had everything you would need, and is clean and well maintained. My family and I enjoyed everything about it. 2 steps out the back door and you’re on the beach! Volleyball nets, basketball courts, and we brought all our beach games as well. Awesome bike rides in both directions to the Wedge and towards Newport pier We will definitely be back soon.

ON THE SAND 2-bedroom sunny BEACH apartment
This place is one of the best airbnb stays I’ve ever had. Beach within walking distance, central to many things in Long Beach and a very cozy and welcoming stay. There was only one MINOR downside and I hope this doesn’t scare away anyone because this place is truly great but the lighting is very poor at night. There’s only a few lights in the entire house. I wish there was more but like I said, just a minor complaint. I’d love to stay again and I’ll be saving this location for future visits when I’m in the area!

Cozy beach house steps from the sand
Chris and Michelle were very responsive hosts. We loved the location and were thrilled with the little toys, books, and beach items provided for our use.

Lower Newport Beach House
What a LOVELY place to stay, just 6-7 houses away from the sand. Perfect location. Very useful shopping center across the street (Pavillions grocery store, banks, restaurants, etc). The house is very spacious, stocked with everything you'd need. Will definitely be back soon!

Oceanfront Oasis
The PERFECT place!! Location. Location. Location. Clean. Responsive. Well stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds. It had it all. Parking for 2nd vehicle was a challenge but really not that bad. Neighborhood was super safe and plenty to do and walking distance. Truly amazing in every way. Highly recommend.

6sec walk to beach Sleeps 8. 3Bdm. 3 prking spots
Fantastic house in a fantastic location. We stay in Newport often and this is one of the best bang-for-your-buck spots out there!
Beach house rentals with a pool

Harbour House: Beach, Pool/jacuzzi & Koi Pond.
We had a wonderful visit at Mai's place. The kitchen had everything necessary to prepare our meals and we appreciated the amenities stocked (salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, etc). Rooms were as described and we found it very spacious for a family of 6 adults and 3 young children. Our family really enjoyed the outdoor space, especially the Koi pond sitting area. The pool was very clean and we all enjoyed our time there, especially the kids. We made use of the BBQ and had no problems getting it started. Our only suggestion would be to update the instructions for the pool as it appears the host controls this via wifi and that is not stated in the instructions for use. Overall, we loved our stay and would not hesitate to visit again! Thank you to Mike & Mai for promptly responding to any of inquiries during the stay.

Ocean View, Steps to the Beach!
a beautiful spot with a great host would definitely recommend!

Huntington Haven: 3BR Comfort with Pool
Lee was extremely communicative from start to finish. Would book again! Was great for our conference.

Vintage Beach Retreat | Pool, King Beds,Coffee Bar
We had a fantastic stay at Zev & Melissa Forrest’s place in Long Beach. The house was perfect for our group of three couples—spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. The location was ideal, within walking distance to the beach and the Long Beach Grand Prix, which was a highlight of our trip. The kitchen was beautiful, and the living space was perfect for relaxing after a day out. Thank you so much for hosting us!

Bright House in the Heart of Laguna, walk to Beach
Enjoyed our stay at The Bright House! Loved how quiet and peaceful the neighborhood was, and how close it is to the beach and great shopping and restaurants.

D&B's Beach Home (2 bed/1 bath/pool/spa/patio)
Had a wonderful stay at DJ and Brandee’s home last weekend while my mom and I were in town for the Surf City Half Marathon! The house is gorgeous and comfortable with fantastic amenities - everything was as described. It’s a short walk to downtown and was perfect location for us to get to the starting line. The pool and their big comfy couch were perfect for our post-race recovery. The kitchen is awesome; I loved cooking in it. DJ and Brandee were fantastic hosts — always responsive and kind. Really appreciated their hospitality and highly recommend staying here if you get the chance. Thank you!!!

3BR Luxury, Near Beach/Disney; Pool is +$99/night
We stayed here for our spring break with my 6 kids. Ages 23-5. We are not partiers just a family get away to relax and cook together. We booked this place based on the pool and it was worth it for us. The previous reviews were alarming about quiet hrs and it being strict but we had no problem and stayed in the pool till 945 at night. I did tell me younger 3 kids to be quiet at night to be respectful and they were for the most part but definitely got loud with their voice a few times. Great house no complaints beds were very comfy!

Tablerock Beach House with pool
We usually stay at 5 star hotels in area but decided to try a home in light of our longer term stay. Fortunately, this home on west side of Pac-1, became available during our scheduled trip. Jynel's home met all of our interests and requirements: close walking distance to beach, a pool, easy access to town, comfortable layout, good parking, TV and a view of ocean. Jynel was very responsive to my questions during stay. Kitchen was well stocked and high-end coffee maker was nice touch and avoided having to go elsewhere. Host might consider adding a key for backdoor as easier to enter after beach. Although, we rarely stay at ABNB's or other online booked private homes, we thought Jynel's pricing was a good value; however, the cleaning fees should be a pricing range tied to each tenant circumstances determined post-stay) and ABNB's fees are still excessively high at 15%. In any case, Jynel should remain a superhost.

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

Family Home with view of HB Pier & Beach
This was our second year in a row renting this place, and I'd have no hesitation to rent it again. Perfect location, as everything you need is within a few blocks. We didn't even bother renting a car. Massive kitchen for meals in, or plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. The house has plenty of room and is well stocked with linens, towels, and plenty of toys, chairs, coolers, for a great time at the beach. If you're looking for a great house close to the beach, you can't miss with this place. Thanks for another great stay Stephanie. Kirk

4bedroom/3bath Relaxing Single Family beach house
Nadia and Lee's house was perfect for our group of 7. The location is great and we enjoyed staying at their house very much. House was clean, comfortable, and accommodating. Highly recommend if you're looking for a house in the area. Thanks!

Beach Front Home
Words cannot describe how great Julie‘s home is. On multiple occasions an individual (and their cute dog) stopped to chat and share their memorable experiences residing, renting or simply enjoying this same location. Many people also shared how wonderful Julie and her husband are. The dog parade along the boardwalk is worth it alone. It is deceivingly large. The beds, linens, towels, and overall interior was exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Julie‘s property. We would stay again and highly recommend anyone else to do the same.

Capistrano Beach Views
Had the best time at Aaron’s place!! The backyard is dreamy, loved sitting and hearing the waves crash in the backyard. The view is gorgeous, it was so hard to leave!! Aaron was responsive and helpful, highly recommend Aaron’s place!
