Apartment rentals with beach access

Apt 2: Luxury 2 bedroom 2 bath, steps to beach
I and my family had a fantastic time staying at Elena’s place! The apartment was exactly as described – clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything I needed. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Beach Getaway | Walk to Main Street
Spacious, clean lodgings on the first floor of an older home with very quiet renters upstairs. It worked great for our two-week stay in Ventura.

Calypso Breeze|Jacuzzi|Walk to the Beach|Games|BBQ
10 Stars to our host and this beautiful space! I had family in and we were able to enjoy our time together and have our own space as well. The backyard was perfect for relaxing or enjoying time together. The short walk to the beach was perfect, and the Jacuzzi was such a treat! Pretty late on our first night we realized the Jacuzzi wasn’t getting as hot as it should and contacted Victor. By the time we woke up in the morning, the technician had come out and fixed it so we were ready to enjoy our time. We enjoyed every minute and will absolutely be back.

2BR Beach Loft 1/2 Block to Beach and Pier
Everything was smooth from check-in to check-out! Our stay at James’ place couldn’t have been better. He was super communicative and the location was phenomenal, just steps from the beach and so many fun things to do in SB. Would love to come back!

The Well Ocean View Bungalow #5
Fantastic accommodation in such a cute small coastal town. The bed and linens are so comfy. All the decor is perfectly picked out. We can’t wait to come back for a longer visit!

Upstairs Apartment Near UCSB
Very comfortable apartment. Family friendly neighborhood. Easy to walk or drive to restaurants and stores. Preserve with trails offered us a long, hilly at times, walk to the beach. Very nice! We would definitely stay here again. Similar price as hotel for same length of stay, but much more comfortable.

Carpinteria Beach Studio Condo
Had the best Carpinteria getaway! 🌴🌊🙋🏼♀️ This amazing studio is steps from the beach & shops/restaurants, and has all the comforts and amenities of a true home away from home. Michael is a wonderful host who’s communicative, friendly, and provided the best experience. Highly recommended! ✨

Seaside Escape II. Walk to beach, State St., more!
This stay was my fifth at Sebastian’s and I will keep coming back because of the perfect location — close to the beach and to the edge of town + funk zone.
House rentals with beach access

Islandview Beach House, Hollywood Beach, Oxnard CA
We had a great stay at this beautiful residence. The hosts were amazing. They provided snacks, fruit, drinks and many other food items for our stay! We stayed over New Year's Eve and they even provided party items. The residence was just as pictured. It's location is great, just next to the beach. Thank you for 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.

Sunny Garden Home near the beach
Marty and Carey's home was a perfect place for our friends' reunion! The home is spacious, clean, comfortable, and with great decor. The kitchen was well-stocked and we loved the openness of it. The couches and beds were very comfortable for lounging and sleeping. The backyard is so beautiful and peaceful, we spent most of our free time out on the patio, and the kids loved the swings. The hot tub was a big hit with everyone, and we enjoyed being so close to the mesa bluffs and the private beach. We can't wait to come back again!

Steps from Miramar Beach-dog friendly, epic spot
We loved our stay at this cute house! It was perfect for the three of us (myself and husband and teenage daughter) plus the fenced in yard was great for our dog. The house is adorable and the yard makes it fee like you are in the tropics. It's a quick walk to the dog-friendly beach, which we enjoyed long walks on every morning. And you are a 5 minute drive from the town of Montecito and close to Santa Barbara. We would definitely stay here again to visit our other daughter at college.

Spacious Beach House!Guest Favorite! Backyard!
Great stay. A mile from the beach. Perfect for a big family! The host was very friendly and responsive.

Casa Conchita: Modern home with private beach
This place is one to go back to. The home is beautiful, the view and location are awesome. The accessibility to the beach is so fun. Our family had an amazing time here. It had everything we needed to enjoy the house and ourselves. I highly recommend it.

🌊Silverstrand Beach 3 bd 2b 4 min to sand
Great house in an awesome neighborhood. Had everything you need and was clean. Would definitely stay here again!

3525O - Big Blue Beauty
The place is great. However, in March it was extremely windy and cold. But the house has beautiful views.
Condo rentals with beach access

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!

Two Bedroom Home Near Beach (Santa Barbara)
Absolutely a wonderful place to stay! It met all our expectations! Definitely recommend this for anyone visiting Santa Barbara!

Charming 2-bedroom condo close to beach
The view was amazing! It was far enough up the coast that it wasn't congested. There were plenty of beaches to choose from. There were several mountain trails close as well. You definitely need a car. We enjoyed driving the mountain roads(beautiful views) up to wineries and restaurants in the Westlake Village area. We also loved the unobstructed ocean views with frequent trips up the coast towards Oxnard, where we found authentic Mexican food. The neighbors were friendly, and the neighborhood was a great place to walk our little dog. We frequented theTrancas Dog Park which was well maintained. Our dog went to the Malibu doggy day care a couple times when we toured the Getty museum and did indoor activities, but most places were very dog friendly, she went with us everywhere! The condo had everything needed for a month's stay. All we had to get were groceries.

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 😊 💓

Really cool 2 bedroom, close to the beach!
Michael has a really nice spot near Ventura. Located near both the bay and beaches I would gladly stay again if in the area. Ventura is a beautiful town with a ton to do.

Spectacular Beach Retreat with Ocean View 5minWalk
Shamim’s place was perfect. It’s a really nice condo in a cute neighborhood. Hueneme beach is indeed only a 5 minute walk from the condo and is a really beautiful beach. The club house indoor pool and hot tub were also a great bonus for our stay. We really appreciate the clear instructions before our arrival and the amenities were nice. The beds were comfortable and the living room with the large tv was nice for a family movie night one evening. The condo is also close to Point Magu State Park which was another highlight of our trip hiking and checking out tide pools. We had a really nice stay and a fantastic trip!
