Waterfront vacation rentals in California

Beautiful location, clean spot, responsive host well worth the money

Loved staying at Will's place in Long Beach. Walkable from the beach, the park, and marinas. Check-in was so simple thanks to Will's messaging. And his local suggestions made everything even easier - a free local shuttle - who knew?! Highly recommend staying at Will's pad. Terrific location, right in the heart of the Alamitos Bay / Naples marina and beach neighborhood in Long Beach. And if you are sailing at ABYC - this is the perfect stay.

Wow, what an incredible two days! This unit truly exceeded my expectations. It had everything I needed and so much more. The beauty of the canyon left me in awe, and there was something magical about savoring breakfast while soaking in that breathtaking morning view. I felt completely at peace, especially since I didn’t come across anyone else during my stay—such a perfect sense of privacy! I can’t express how much I’d love to return and relive this wonderful experience. Thank you Mona and Daniel for everything!

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 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 💚

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!

I took my husband to relax for a pre Father’s Day weekend warm up. Susan’s place was the perfect getaway! :)

A magical stay right on the water! We could not have been happier with this location. The space was extremely clean and comfy and right on the ocean. It is not super private because all units share a courtyard/ocean access, but that didn’t bother us. Toilet was very fancy. You are right on PCH but once you are inside it doesn’t feel that way at all. Communicative hosts. Will be back!

Airy, comfortable and immaculate place. Watched surfers, seals, whales and birds everyday.

Such a beautiful place to stay. Absolutely better than expected. All amenities that anyone would need. Ken is a wonderful host, made sure that we were happy there. A wonderful place to spend our 44th wedding anniversary. And Father's day. My hubby caught 12 fish off shore. Highly recommend, we'll be back. The best place ever for relaxation. So clean and comfortable. Ken is 5 star host. Beautiful property. 6 deers last night and a buck this morning...who could ask for more. Thank you.

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!!

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!

Our second time staying here. We love the lake view and nice details and finishing touches of the place.

Just spent a wonderful relaxing long weekend at Pacific Gem. Cindy's place is truly a 'jewel' perched on a bluff with spectacular oceanfront views, comfortable up-scale furnishings, sparkling clean, with everything you could ever need! Absolutely gorgeous! The ,location is close to lots of activites. but after lucking out with terrific weather, we felt no need to leave the premises until checkout - we'd love to stay again on our next trip to Mendocino area!

Adrienne and Jonathan were very responsive. The house, the pool and the surrounding grounds are beautiful. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Adrienne and Jonathan for hosting us.

The walk to the river is short but not very close. Although it is very private and pristine. Place is clean and host is very responsive and shared all instructions well in advance.

"Just Beachy" is a fantastic, absolutely clean accommodation with an exceptional location right on the beach. Everything you need is there...and more. Contact with Lorraine was always "just in time" and provided all the necessary information, and the digital guide also contains everything you need about the entire complex. "Just Beachy" is highly recommended without exception! Thank you, Lorraine, and best regards, Annika & Noël

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.

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!

Love the place we had a great time! We would stay there again!

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.

We enjoyed our stay at Andy’s place. It was plenty of space for 3 of us to stay. Great views. It gets a little warm at night in the bedroom without air conditioning but they do provide an extra fan which helps. Overall, the space was great and we would recommend to others.

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.

The place was beautiful! There was an amazing view. The place was nice and cozy, the perfect place to relax and soak in the view. The poo and hot tub was also very convenient.
