Vacation rentals with beach access in Santa Monica

Lisa was kind and very accommodating. The location is about a 2 min walk from the beach. Right next to the hotel, Shutters. It was a quiet place to stay considering the amount of hotels and restaurants around. Spacious studio. It was great having the washer and dryer. They even had bikes available for use.

Such an affordable place to stay for the incredible location! The amenities of a balcony and a washer/dryer were very helpful. The host also had plenty of beach gear to use, so we had everything we needed for a beach day!

Place was dry clean and the views were amazing. Very private. Kitchen was well stocked. If you’re a light sleeper the waves crashing can be a bit much at night.

David was an amazing host and very attentive to detail. His place was beautiful and very clean. He made sure we had everything we needed and was very communicative. The apartment is right next to the beach and in a quiet Neighborhood. I definitely recommend this place and will be returning soon.

We had a great time here! Easy to get to and we got lucky with the parking. Being so close to the beach usually has parking issues but it was not bad. It was clean and the perfect size. Appreciate the coffee, sugars and creamers. The windows were opened when we arrived so it was already pretty cool inside and only used the ceiling fans at night. It’s a very quiet area so we slept great in the very comfortable bed. Very happy to have all the beach necessities there. That was one of the reasons I chose this home. Loved having the kayaks to go around the bay looking at all the pretty beach homes. Just steps to the bay and the beach on the other side. Walking on the beach and then watching the sun set was beautiful. Would totally stay there again. Thank you John.

This place was perfect for our family! My husband always has a difficult time sleeping away from home, but he didn’t have trouble sleeping here! The beds are super comfortable, along with the linens, pillows, etc. We were able to get great use out of the wagon and boogie boards. I loved the location; we walked to the beach in under 10min, walked to the grocery store, and of course my husband enjoyed his morning walk to Starbucks every morning. The kitchen had a beautiful gas stove where we enjoyed cooking every night. Greg, I can’t thank you enough for our best family trip yet!!!

Cute place, we loved how bright and airy the apartment was. It had everything we needed with cute tiki touch, that I loved. It’s quant perfect place, everything was easy and nice to feel like we lived there for a moment. I loved that. Felt real. Thank you!

What a fantastic stay! Michael’s place in Long Beach was perfectly located—close to everything, yet quiet and relaxing. The home has been beautifully updated with stylish touches throughout, and it was stocked with everything I needed and much more. From the cozy living spaces to the thoughtful amenities, I truly felt like I was in a home away from home. I highly recommend staying here and would definitely book again!

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!

Beautiful home with heat waterfront view. Neighbors were very warm and social. Great location near downtown Balboa Island. Once you park, no need to use the car. it is a gem that I would recommend.

what a great place, has all the little things, like bikes, umbrella, sand toys, multiple sports gear. it was fun just rising the bike to the basketball courts and rising back. they had 1 tricycle for adults and just 1 kids bike, and so many adult beach cruisers. would definitely stay again

Great place.

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.

Wonderful stay and just steps from the beach. Mark was super super responsive and helpful. Perfect for our family of 6. Can’t wait to return and stay here again!

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!

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.

Great spot! Very clean and well designed.

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.

Nicole's place is such a cool spot. Really spacious with an art deco vibe and it is just like it looks in the pictures. It was the ideal spot for exploring Venice Beach, being a one minute walk from the beach front. We had so much fun hanging out on the big balcony and playing pool in the games room. Very quiet area with no real negatives I can think of. Would highly recommend for groups who want a chill vibe with a great space for spending time together.

Great area! Short walk to the beach and a short drive to the pier. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials and made dinner time easy. Comfy beds, big bathrooms and a nice quiet outside area. The house has great history and felt cozy. The kitchen area is an add on that can only be accessed through the courtyard area. Be prepared that you will hear the owners/occupants above you when they walk and you often can hear them talking.

We had a nice stay here! The apartment is in a good location, one block from the beach and a few blocks from downtown. The apartment was fully stocked and looked like the pictures. Nice that it was on the first floor as well so that you don't have to worry to much about people below when you're walking around. Maya was very responsive as well. Would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Oksana’s place! It was very clean and as described. Check-in and check-out was easy and the instructions were clear. Parking can be tough, but we got really lucky and got a spot right in front of the building. We decided to uber to places if needed for the remainder of our trip. That worked out smoothly and didn’t have to worry about getting places or finding parking when returning. Overall, very nice place and would recommend!

First off, Mo and Ness went above and beyond in terms of communication. They helped us get our booking sorted with less than 48 hours until we landed for our vacation after our previous host had to cancel last minute. While I was scrambling (at about 10pm) with Airbnb customer support, I reached out to Mo and explained our situation. He responded within about 10 minutes and graciously held the dates for us while I finished getting things sorted. The home was exactly what we were hoping for and was exactly as listed. The location was great. Little town noise during the day which was to be expected with the location but surprisingly very quiet at night with the local ordinances. The two porches were my favorite part of the property with lots of humming birds coming to visit. Perfect location for beach visits/canal walks and many great food and coffee options all within walking distance. We had an amazing stay in this lovely home. Truly hope to go back. Thank you very much!

Was a wonderful time and this was our second visit. The place is always clean and excellent location. They are very responsive and friendly people. Highly recommended
