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

AlexRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This Airbnb is excellent, and the location must be one of the best in Huntington Beach. It is close to everything you want to do in Downtown HB. It is a quick walk to incredible restaurants, shops, HB Pier, bike and surfboard rentals, and the Huntington Beach Surf Museum/Art Center. If you are staying on a Tuesday, attend The Surf City Market on Main and grab a taco at The Sand Bar Resturant. Of course, we enjoyed the main attractions the most: the expansive sands boarding the Pacific Ocean and unparalleled sunsets.

Elegant with spectacular view & steps to so much.

CarliRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
It's a wonderful beach apt with bay view balcony, just like the listing. It was actually more spacious than we expected, and the decor/design is beautiful, very zen. Perfect for celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. There were two things that I didn't see in the listing or reviews, that might help others. The shower and tub are in the same room as the bed, with a skylight + windows, so once the sun is up there's not much sleeping, it gets bright. Not a concern for everyone, but if you have trouble sleeping at night like I do, it could be. We liked the place so much that we're considering trying a blackout bed tent for future traveling, and still would love to stay here again. Also, the jets in the jacuzzi tub pictured don't work. Would still have booked had we known, just wouldn't have been disappointed after expecting a jacuzzi, lol. Still a fantastic deep tub, and possibly our favorite Airbnb yet! Hosts were responsive/friendly, but we didn't need to interact much. Thanks again!!

* Sunset Beach Retreat! Waterfront | Deck | Kayaks

AlexanderRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a great time at this house and there was lots to do. Unfortunately we went at the hottest time of the decade and having no A/C was an issue, but that is no fault of the house. It was stated very clearly that there was no air conditioning because you’re at the beach and the weather is almost perfect every day of the year. There were fans to help and that was much appreciated. Overall, we would definitely recommend this place and we will definitely book it again

Newport Beach on the sand- lower unit rental

StephanieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Spent a week celebrating family birthdays and loved every minute of our time at Albert’s place! He’s very accommodating and extremely friendly. Ideal location right on the sand with the pier and restaurants very close by. Great amenities included with the property and we enjoyed sitting on the patio, using the full kitchen, outdoor grill, Bluetooth speaker and bikes in the garage. Can’t wait to go back!

The Anchor House

DanielleRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I had an amazing stay at this property! The space was incredibly comfortable, beautifully maintained, and spotlessly clean. Every detail made me feel right at home. The host was exceptionally helpful, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Their prompt communication and thoughtful touches made our stay even more enjoyable. I can’t wait to come back for another visit – this is definitely a place I’ll be returning to! Highly recommend!

This place was heaven. We came to town for the Long Beach Marathon and this place was close enough to food and wine places. As well as no far from the start/finish line. The home was beautiful, private and peaceful!

Beach Front Home

MaryRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
What a wonderful place for our group of friends to stay! Everyone was comfortable, the kitchen was the perfect size for communal crone concoctions. It was so cool to be close to the beach, and when we hung out on the deck we met so many wonderful people walking their dogs. We just loved our entire experience here.

Naples Island Waterfront Beach House

RosamondRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This is one of the most incredible homes you can find available in Southern California. It’s beautiful and has everything you need. Lee and Nadia are responsive and excellent hosts making you feel right at home. The location is top notch and in such a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Incredible restaurants are very close, and there is so much to do in the area, but we loved the house and sitting on the patio gazing at the beautiful views of the ocean. This is truly a one of a kind and a hidden gem!

We have a vacation here to celebrate my dad's 70th! It was perfect. My parents stayed on the first floor and my family and my brother's family on the third. We have two 6 year old boys and two infants, and the indoor/outdoor space was the best. Hardly needed to leave!

VanessaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Marina's place was absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views. We had plenty of room to relax on the balconies and cook in the kitchen. All the rooms were spacious and tastefully decorated. We loved walking in the neighborhood and to the local spots for coffee and pizza. It was so close to everything! We hope to stay again soon.

Best S Bay Front location on Balboa Island Newport

TracyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This has to be one of the most welcoming and personable experiences I have had staying at an Airbnb location. It took me a little while to figure out how to unlock the door but once inside, it was great. The decor is well thought out and the space is efficiently used. The attention to detail is superb. We were a group of 8 and fit comfortably in the unit. There is plenty of seating and table space for everyone. Everything we needed was provided. The location is excellent with the public dock right outside and the ferry a couple minute walk. It makes it so there is plenty to do to entertain kids and adults. Of course, with sufficient seating outside, it is great for people watching. The home is on a busy walking path. The communication was great. Parking in the beginning of October was easy to find.

My mother in law said it best, this place was everything and more. I agree with everything stated below: Beautifully renovated, absolutely immaculate condition, spotless and a lot of attention to detail! Melissa has not missed a single thing to make your stay comfortable and memorable. Incredibly charming and considerate host who made us feel like we were visiting an old friend, the way she welcomed our family, even leaving special treats. Also, she goes above and beyond if you need something. We found it to be a perfect place for 6 adults. Everyone had a beautiful,comfortable room. The house is also very well stocked so you don’t need to scramble to get things. Although our kids are grown, we noticed how anything you could possibly need for children was there, too. Location is absolutely perfect as it is near metered cross walk which is very convenient and safe especially for families. The neighborhood is very quiet but walking distance to everything (beach,the pier, shops, dog beac
