Long Beach Retreat
We only stayed here one night to attend a graduation, but we absolutely loved the place. The pictures are great, but you won't really get just how charming the place is till you're there. It was plenty of space for 3 of us. Loved the little balcony and the writing/reading corner. We all slept great on the 3 beds: the beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet, even with the windows open overnight. We were there on a Wed night and we always found a parking spot close to the home along the street. We didn't cook there but it looked like everything you'd need was there. We enjoyed walking 5 minutes to breakfast at Park Pantry and being so close to everything we needed to access. Even with the hosts living in the downstairs home, we never heard them and our upstairs home was quiet and private. Pamela was always quick to respond and was accommodating of our schedule. We'd stay here again and highly recommend.

Perfect Spot with Garage, Private Deck, Bikes & Beach Toys
Great stay! There is everything you could possibly need for a beach stay. Pam was so helpful and had lots of good suggestions. The location was perfect. Just a block and a half from the beach and the neighborhood was quiet. Bed was super comfy and the space was perfect. Didn’t use the patio much but that also was a nice addition. Will def be staying again!!

Steps from the SAND private suite on Peninsula
Will was a very responsive host and had great recommendations for the area. Just be aware that since this is an attached space to the next-door neighbors, the sound from upstairs is a bit prominent like footsteps/loud sound. Couple of knick knacks like the shower door and fridge door were to be fixed, but that was acknowledged to be repaired. Otherwise, I would love to stay here again.

Brandon was incredibly accommodating throughout our entire trip, and the experience was fantastic. Everything - from the kitchen and bathroom to the bedding was clean and comfortable. I would definitely love to stay at his place again.

Hidden Gem Downtown Long Beach
We absolutely loved staying here! Very walkable to everything we wanted to do! The bed was comfortable, and the whole space was clean and smelled great! The host was also very wonderful. And we actually found parking right in front of the gate. We will absolutely stay here again if we find ourselves in Long Beach again!

2Bed 1 Bath A/C 1 Compact Parking Space
We stayed here as a quick getaway with family from out of town. Elizabeth's place was so cute and welcoming. It was a perfect size for us 4 and very spacious. Excellent location, lots of parking, walkable to all the local eateries, and especially the beach and Marina. My sister and niece had the best time here from AZ and would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend Elizabeth's place.

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!

Beach house on the corner minutes to Disneyland
This is in a great location. The home has whatever one may need including an iron, steamer, dishwasher, grill, washing machine and dryer. Easy to walk anywhere in town. Nice front patio to relax on.

Lisa’s place is truly one of a kind. From the moment I arrived, I could feel the peaceful and artistic energy that fills every corner of her seahorse-themed sanctuary. The attention to detail in the decor is stunning, the garden is simply enchanting—full of light, life, and love—and the space feels like a warm hug after a long day. As an artist, I felt inspired and deeply rested. Everything was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully arranged. And Lisa’s hospitality? Unmatched. She even left me a delicious homemade bread pudding that I devoured with joy—it was unforgettable! This was not just a stay, it was an experience I will carry with me. I left feeling lighter, more grounded, and 100% sure that I’ll be coming back. Thank you, Lisa, for creating such a special place.

LOVE LOVE LOVE 🤩 Alan’s home is THE HOME!!! If you have the opportunity to book here i would 10/10 recommend! 🌟🌟 Spacious, Clean, and don’t even get me started on the backyard amenities!

Sandy Shores was perfect for our stay! Rich, the property manager was fantastic with communicating ahead of time. He was very flexible on check-in, kind, and explained things quite well. He kept in contact throughout our stay and checkout was smooth. Thank you, Rich! Location was great for walking distance to beaches and other restaurants. The bikes and beach toys, chairs, beach buggy, etc. was wonderful. Beds were comfortable, clean adequate linens for each bedroom and bathroom, rooftop patio was great to hang out on, the home felt very clean and well maintained. Thank you for the stay!

1 - Your ACTUAL Ocean View - walk to beach & town
The place is so peaceful and steps away from the beach. As other reviewers have mentioned, can hear the sound of the waves from the space. Sheryl is awesome and responsive. The apartment itself is so clean and well-equipped.

Spatious 2 bedroom apt, 1 block from beach
We picked this Airbnb for the convenience of being near the beach and other amenities. It was a perfect place for our stay. It was clean and comfortable. The area was quiet and peaceful. Would stay here again.

Wow! Henry and Maria were absolutely amazing hosts! They were very helpful and responsive and most of all very accommodating. The home was spotless and better than described. Would recommend 1000% Thank you The Lampkin’s

The Daisy Suite - 1920s Studio w/ Ocean View
This place was very nice. The building was amazing and I enjoyed all the antique qualities about it and the friendly tenants. There were so many extra touches left for us. Close to everything, but that also meant that it was very loud at night until things settled. We were there on a long weekend though. I would stay there again without hesitation. The team stayed at a hotel and this beat it by far. Megan was amazing and responded within minutes. so, so nice!
