Apartment rentals with beach access

Studio in the Heart of Laguna
Great spot with so many restaurants and coffee spots and the beach within walking distance. The place is cozy and bright — a delightful beach-town studio. There’s definitely some traffic noise (as described) but the white noise machine was perfect at night and we slept soundly. Definitely recommend!

Luxury Beach View Apartment
Beautiful location, clean spot, responsive host well worth the money

Amazing Welcoming Unique Ocean Home
Yeshi's home is a museum of colorful artwork from her travels around the world. Wonderful to be lulled to sleep by the ocean waves.

Venice Canals Sanctuary
We really enjoyed our stay at M’s place in the Venice Canals. So lovely and serene, such a good location. It’s within walking distance to Venice Beach and easy to get around LA via uber. Very safe area too, lots of dog walkers and people walking through the canals but quiet and peaceful at night. Inside was equally lovely with a large bathroom and comfortable bedding. Overall we would definitely recommend this stay 💚

Eco Conscious Mini Apartment
Had a fantastic stay. The photos are accurate, the location and apartment were top tier and the host is super hospitable, helpful and responsive. A++

Point Richmond Top Floor Studio with Bay views
Incredible little spot over looking the bay with a gorgeous view, loved it!

Forty feet from Pacific Ocean
We absolutely loved, and would recommend Matthew's vacation rental. We have stayed in Oceanside several times for a quick get away and this lovely location is by far our favorite. We hope we will be able to return in the near future. A parking spot is right in front of the property, Matthew's check in and out instructions are clear and easy to follow, the location cannot be beat, with the ocean and private beach just steps away. The interior has everything you could possibly need, it was clean and well stocked. I personally appreciated the binoculars and decaf coffee. It was wonderful to sit outdoors and watch dolphins, seabirds, surfers, dogs happy to be on the beach, and relax to the sound of the waves. There are many great restaurants nearby, and plenty of activities and places to visit in and around town. The best part was the feeling of being in our own little private sanctuary. Thank you to Matthew for being a fantastic host!

2nd Street Suite 2 Blocks from the Beach
Shelby was so kind and helpful during my entire stay! I truly appreciate how well we were able to communicate during an accommodation I had needed and within short time! I’d definitely come back
House rentals with beach access

Design & Style with White Water View
Our second stay, and just as wonderful as last time. The views are unbeatable, and the ability to walk to the lodge is an amazing benefit (I loved being able to grab a coffee there in the morning, or knowing I could have a few drinks and walk home!). Beds were comfy. To note, the blinds in the rooms aren’t blackout so the mornings are bright — but ideally you’re up then anyways to enjoy the gorgeous views!

The Natural Spa House for 2
I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! The home was incredibly clean, airy, and beautifully maintained, it felt like a breath of fresh air the moment I walked in. The backyard was a true oasis, perfect for relaxing and unwinding after a day of exploring. The neighborhood was quiet, peaceful, and well kept, which made my stay even more enjoyable. It was also conveniently located close to Calabasas, which made getting around super easy. I would definitely stay here again, highly recommend!

Casa Ballena of the Lost Coast
What an amazing place!! The view was as amazing as the house. Very clean, such a spectacular view. Beds were very comfortable, easy access to park and get into the house. The extra amenities with the house were an added bonus! If I’m ever in the area again would definitely stay again! Host was extremely helpful and very responsive!

Argonautica: Oceanfront Sea Ranch Escape
We had such a wonderful and relaxing time at Jason’s house. The views were amazing and the location is the best we’ve stayed in at Sea Ranch. The path to the bluff trail was right next to the house and just a short walk you get to amazing tide pools (my daughter and I woke up early to make it at low tide!) and really the best pacific coast views. Jason’s house was immaculate and we really appreciated how complete the kitchen was!! And the blue bottle and intelligentsia coffee beans were a great treat. The hot tub was also great to use after swimming in the rec center. Thank you Jason!!

Sweeping Ocean & Mountain Views, Private
I had another fantastic stay at Kathy’s Airbnb! The drive along Corall Canyon offers stunning views of the ocean, Santa Monica, Palos Verdes, and Catalina Island. Kathy’s home features incredible sunrise views, with gentle morning fog below. The open layout connecting the bedroom, living room, kitchenette, and bathroom creates a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Kathy is a wonderful host, always responsive to my needs. If you’re seeking a serene getaway with gorgeous vistas and a lovely host, I highly recommend this place!

Bright Modern Home | Ocean Side
We love this place so much that we came back for a second time. Peaceful home. Kid and dog friendly. Spent our days at tide pools and hiking through redwoods. Cant beat the location.

Oceanfront Home & Private Beach Access
We had a wonderful vacation at Joanna’s place! Ocean views are incredible, hot tub was amazing, private beach that is a less than a minute drive to the private beach access! The private beach was incredible! So many seal 🦭 pups, anemones, starfish, crabs, and more! We love this area and continue to come back to visit! We stayed 7 nights here and felt like home. We brought our old cat with us and he settled in nicely. Kitchen had great appliances and supplies to use! Lots of cute small towns and excellent hiking/walking trails to explore! This was a wonderful family vacation that our son was absolutely loving especially private beach for exploring. We explored several recommendations from Joanna’s manual that were awesome. She was also quick to respond and be helpful! We highly recommend coming to stay at Joanna’s home for beautiful relaxation and fun exploration! Thank you so much! 😊

Little River Retreat
Just like the photos - really peaceful and quiet area and beautiful surroundings. Comfy bed and we had all we needed for our stay. Coffee and tea a really nice touch for the mornings and evenings.
Condo rentals with beach access

Steps From Beach, Panoramic Ocean Views, W Parking
Alan’s place was exactly as described a nice condo with a beautiful view and everything we needed. We were worried about the no AC, but it was perfect even a little chilly at night. Everything was clean and exactly what it looked like in the photos. We would definitely stay here again. We had a wonderful family vacation. Walkable to the beach, plenty restaurants and coffee shops. Thank you for hosting us.

Ocean Views, Rooftop Deck & 1 Block to Everything!
This is our family second time coming to Oceanside. The home is clean close to the beach and restaurants. Cassandra does a great job communicating and getting back to you. We’ve never had any issues or any concerns. We’ll definitely be back for a third time. We absolutely love staying here.

Cabo San Pedro - 1 bed - Stunning Ocean Views
We had a fantastic time. The view was second to none, with easy access to the beach and restaurants. Kitchen was clean and had everything we needed. Great coffee shop within walking distance (albeit with a decent hill). We happened to stay when whales were just off the coast and saw them from the shore. Could not have asked for a better day. For those with mobility issues - you do need to climb about 10 narrow steps to get to the tram, which lets you skip the rest of the stairs. But there is no way around those first steps. Would absolutely come back.

Luxury Oceanfront Condo with Unbelievable Views
We loved this apartment- it was beautiful and had everything we needed! It was even bigger than the photos make it seem. Gorgeous decor and beautifully maintained/cleaned. Lots of extras/amenities like kitchen items, toiletries, beach stuff, and linens. The host’s communication was very hospitable and helpful! Location and view is incredible - right on the beach and walkable to so many cute cafes, grocery stores and bars. Comes with a parking spot too, and pool and hot tub access! Would definitely book again!

Oceanfront Malibu Townhouse On Quiet Road
Love the place we had a great time! We would stay there again!

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.

Ocean Front Mission Beach Penthouse!
Incredible location right on the beach! Great restaurants and eateries all in walking distance, including coffee shops, bakery, and convenience stores. Emmy's welcome book included great tips and recommendations for the area. Both the kitchen and bathroom had everything we needed, both well stocked. Highly recommend.

Oceanfront Luxury Villa | Golf Cart + Island Views
Tiffany is an incredible host. She is easy to communicate with and was proactive informing you of what to expect, easy instructions both checking in and out, as well as recommendations. She answered any questions I had in a timely matter to. The golf cart is a great addition as well to easily get to Avalon. Bottom line up front everything was very simple so that my girlfriend and I were able to fully enjoy our stay on the island. The villa was beautiful just like the pictures. It was very clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I highly recommend booking with Tiffany at her villa in Hamilton Cove. Just a heads up if you’re going to eat on the balcony don’t leave any food unattended for a second or the birds will swoop it. They’re watching and waiting for an opportunity. Happened to me lol. Thank you again Tiffany for making our trip so much easier to enjoy.
