Downtown Beach Home, 5 min to Beach! Backyard, BBQ

SarahRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Sam’s place was perfect for our needs. Nice having 2 bedrooms upstairs and 1 downstairs. The place is very spacious and gives everyone room to spread out. The kitchen is well-equipped, and there are plenty of towels and blankets. Having the gym and cold plunge were such a great perk for us! The condo is in a great, quiet neighborhood with easy access to the beach and restaurants. We never had any issues finding street parking. Highly recommend!

Sunny Coastal Retreat-1 King Bed 1 Bath Apt in LBC

KerrieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had a great long weekend at Ami's place! The apartment is very spacious, quiet, spotless & comfortable. The place was stocked with everything we needed to prepare food. We were so appreciative of the coffee, snacks & drinks that Ami left for us - this was so nice after a long drive and late arrival. I can see that parking might be challenging but we didn't have any issues with this. We easily walked to the store, beach & convention center. The host thought of every comfort & detail.

Ollie’s Kitchen Bed & Breakfast II

LaurenRating, 5 stars4 days ago
My husband, two girls, and I absolutely loved our stay at Ollie’s place! The location is perfect, and sitting in front of that window every morning with my coffee is something I’m going to daydream about nonstop. We walked right out to the beach every morning after breakfast, and Ollie had chairs, toys, and much more for us to use on the beach. Her breakfast each morning was such a treat! We couldn’t get enough of her delicious baked treats. Ollie is so kind, and is super quick to respond with anything you may need. Thanks Ollie for the best family vacay! ❤️

Ocean View of Long Beach Harbor

StevenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This place was exquisite! There was a lot of room to spread out and relax and to make ourselves at home. The host and cohost were very welcoming, responsive, and kind. The private garage was a huge bonus for security and convenience. The place was spotless and had everything we needed to make it ours for a week. The view is amazing and peaceful to sit back and sip a coffee in the morning. The street out front can be noisy with people cruising, but the host provides sound machines in every room, and little gift bags of ear plugs and a sleep mask (it looked like one, I didn’t open it as I travel with my own). They thought of everything. If I’m back in Long Beach again I’ll be looking to stay here before anywhere else.

Downtown 2BR rental- walking to beach, shops, eats

AlyseRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.

Getaway by the Alamitos Bay Yacht Club, Long Beach

Janet Rating, 5 stars1 week ago
The house was really easy to find. It was spotless and very comfortable. We loved the beach with the waves right next to it. We also loved the lagoon right down the street. Kyle was very responsive when I had questions which makes the experience even better. We will definitely be back.

Beachfront Retreat Getaway

KenzieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Jennifer’s beachfront home was lovely! It was clean, spacious, comfortable and right on the beach. It was the perfect place for our family to celebrate my niece’s first birthday. It was so peaceful, we could hear the waves from the couch. Stunning views.

NEW 2Bath 216B Upper Light Filled Casita w/AC

ChrisRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I stayed at Casa De Balboa for a long weekend with my wife and in-laws and we couldn't be happier! The location was perfect, you could see both the ocean and the marina from the balcony over the garage and you are within walking distance of tons of restaurants, coffee shops, and bars (< 5 minute walk) without the noise that comes with being right there. The beds were very comfortable, there are plenty of pillows and towels, the kitchen was well stocked, and being able to park in a garage made the trip perfect. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and will be looking to book Casa De Balboa next time we are in the area!

Newport Beach on the sand- lower unit rental

MaryRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Location, location, location!! We loved our stay at this airbnb in Newport Beach. Being right on the sand just a few blocks from the pier and so many restaurants and shops was such fun. I worried about privacy with so many people walking, jogging, biking etc right past our front sliding doors - but I realized the glass is mirrored, so during the day no one can see in. At night there are full shades - so privacy was not a problem. The apartment looked just like the photos. It was very clean and had everything we needed despite how small it was. The hosts were very helpful and responsive. Great to have garage parking - but beware - it's a small spot. I would definitely stay here again.

LAST MIN - Marriott's Newport Coast Villas

LiubovRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had an amazing stay! The resort offered so many activities, beautiful pools, and was just steps from the ocean. Everything was gorgeous, both inside and out. The room was clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed. Bethany was wonderful — easy to communicate with, very helpful, and always responsive. Any small needs we had were quickly taken care of by the resort staff as well. It was truly a perfect vacation. We would absolutely love to come back!

Beachfront on the Bay- penthouse on the sand

MelissaRating, 5 starstoday
We had an amazing stay at this stunning property! The home was absolutely beautiful and looked exactly like the photos. The location couldn’t have been better, with the beach just steps away. We really appreciated all the thoughtful extras like beach toys, chairs, and even a paddleboard! The hosts were incredibly friendly and responsive, and they provided clear and detailed information that made everything easy. We’d love to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway.

Ocean View Studio Near Convention Ctr and Beach

LauraRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Don't stay in one of the overpriced hotels in the area. This gem of an apartment was so much more roomier and more comfortable! Lots of thoughtful touches throughout, like places to plug in chargers, and hooks just where I wanted to hang my towel.
