Ocean View Steps to the Sand! Luxury 2 bdrm Condo
Comfortable place in a quiet complex with private entry to the beach. Convenient location to explore the area from.

Surfside Zen Steps to the Beach!
We loved our stay. It was a wonderful spot for our family to find peace during a trying time. A few short minutes from a very lightly trafficked beach; we could not have asked for a better place to stay. We are so grateful for the accommodations!

Steps to beach/Pool/EV charger/Parking/King bed
Our family had a wonderful time at this space. The unit was comfortable, spacious and very well stocked. We enjoyed the short hike along the bluffs to watch dolphins and seals. We spent hours on the wonderful beach steps away. The comfortable heated pool and hot tub were a great way to end the day. We would love to return one day.

Carpinteria Cozort Beach Properties #30
Rob is definitely a super host, and the location is so enjoyable, with walking distance to the sand, and town! My fiance and I will definitely look forward to another stay, and recommend this place to anyone looking for a calm relaxing get away.

Spectacular Beach Retreat 3Bd/2Bth + Ocean View
We enjoyed our time here very much.. . It felt welcoming and cozy from the moment we arrived. Suneetha is a fantastic host she is very responsive, friendly, and puts so much care into making her guests feel comfortable. It was truly a great experience. Thank you Suneetha!

Luxury Oceanbreeze Beach Condominium
The building itself is close to the beach and ocean, so it shows some weathering. However, as soon as you step inside, it's Magical. The place was super clean and had everything you needed to be completely at home. The beds were super comfortable. We did not use the clubhouse so I can not comment on that. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come here again. Roza was so amazing and responsive. She is truly a Super host! Thank you Roza 😊 💓

Charming Coastal Getaway
Had a great stay and would definitely book again!

Cottage by the Sea steps to beach with heated pool

Ventura Keys Living: Boat+Beach!
The house is comfortable, clean, spacious, nicely decorated and welcoming. I picked out the house based on the reviews and pictures and it all lived up to the hype. Throughout our stay, I was told over and over and over again, from all my guests about how fantastic the house was. Everyone loved it. I was glad to secure the weekend that we did, as I can see this place books up fast. The best part, in my opinion, is the location and amenities. We spent a lot of time by the fire, went in the hot tub, and events did stand up paddle boarding. The keys are peaceful and the water was calm. We all loved this place and Ghada was an excellent host. I can see us coming back.

Beach House Steps from the Beach. Jacuzzi Tub
We enjoyed our stay and could relax and unwind near the Ocean. The beach was extremely close and though cold and rainy, we could go on daily walks in the sand on a very quiet, almost private, beach. It felt secluded and peaceful. Nice to enjoy the hot tub when we got back!

Oceanfront At Faria Beach- The Salt Bungalow
Great location! Beautiful ocean views from everywhere in the house. Fun surf. We will come again:-)

Romantic Luxury Water Front near Santa Barbara
Absolutely HEAVENLY!! Incredible house, on ocean location, well appointed amenities, large deck, hot tub with full ocean view, comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, great communication, very helpful staff, will definitely return!

Architect's 2 Bed Beach House 1 blk to beach!
What a great place! The kitchen has everything you need, the living room and outdoor space are great. The bathroom is very nice, and the beds are comfy. You're only a few minutes walk to the beach, and there's a little grocery store nearby. Great tacos also! We would definitely stay here again.

Shoreline Escape
This house was perfect for our family of 4. Ideal location, beautiful garden with a fresh lemon tree and beautiful flowers. Nice house design and decor - plenty of space and great layout. Everything worked as expected. Perfectly clean. We enjoyed our visit so much that we extended the visit. Amazing host. Responded within seconds with helpful support. So much better than a hotel! Easy check in and out.

Jardin de la Mesa - Walking Distance to Beach
Lovely AirBNB! Perfect for two couples; a lovely patio oasis, with privacy, lush trees and gardens, hot tub and firetable made it a standout. Less than 1/2 block from the amazing Douglas FamilyPreserve and awe-inspiring cliffside walking; we stood watching whales feeding! Great nearby restaurants and good launching point for excellent vineyards an hour away.

Secluded, private, safe dog friendly cottage

MODERN SLVER STRAND BEACH HOUSE STEP2SAND SLEEP 10
House is cute and homey. Described and pictured as listed. Great location to the beach. Sarah called beforehand to let me know all the details. There was a very nice welcome basket full of snacks. The house had lots of things to do including games, cookware, bikes, and beach equipment. Overall, had a great stay!

The Beach House at Silver Strand, Channel Islands
Great house for our family. All adult children had their own bedrooms, kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed the rooftop patio. Very close to the beach, just 1 minute walk.

Cute Mid-Century Beach Side Bungalow | Beachside
We had a fantastic stay! The place is spotless compared to other Airbnbs we’ve stayed at, the cleanliness here really stands out. For example, inside the cabins, everything was not only perfectly clean but also thoughtfully organized, down to the smallest details. There were plenty of towels and beach items provided, which was really nice to have. The location is amazing, a few steps to the sand. It’s also very practical: there’s a garage for easy parking, plus two private outdoor areas that made the space even more enjoyable. The kitchen is well equipped and made it easy to prepare meals during our stay. Kristin was also flexible and communicative. Overall , a comfortable and convenient place for our family beach vacation! Thank you Kristi !

Summerland Nest, Ocean + Canyon Views
This is a great place in a really fun location. It’s very comfortable and private and has everything you need. It’s an easy walk down the hill to both the beach and to some great restaurants and shops. Sam and Robin are very considerate hosts!

The Deck House on the Silver Strand
Amazing hosts and a beautiful little home near the beach! We will be back without a doubt with our family.

THE GETAWAY - Beachfront retreat in Pierpont Bay.
We will often try to find a “deal” near to, but not exactly on the beach - this time around we decided to find a place right on the beach, and we can say without hesitation it was entirely worth the small uptick in price and that we would do it again and again. The condo is amazing - you are literally a few feet from the sand, with nothing blocking your view or access of the ocean. The beach is huge, with ample space to find your own little comfortable spot, and within easy reach of the condo for snacks and refreshments. The interior space is well laid out, with lots of space, super up-to-date kitchen, and plenty of room to sleep our family of 5. Everything worked as expected and everything we needed was within arms reach. Plus, there’s a “gear room” of sorts with all kinds of games, sand toys, beach chairs, and bikes. We had zero concerns or complaints here - only good experiences. We do want to express gratitude to Daniel, as he is super responsive and helpful!
