Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Channel Islands of California

Quite honestly the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. The location was great and easily walkable to the beach. The house is very nice and is as described with a fully stocked kitchen and great bathrooms. The house is packed with every amenity needed (I have never seen an Airbnb have amenities packed so thoroughly and thoughtfully). The garage has all the beach things you need so you don’t need to bring much yourself. I would recommend 10 out of 10 times and would completely stay here again.

Very pleased with my recent stay at The Channel Islands Beach Retreat. As soon as I entered the property I felt like I was in a secret garden oasis. Absolutely loved all the amenities and comfort of the home. The beds were a dream! I slept so well. I hope to stay here again in the future because I was so impressed! Thank you for the beautiful sunflowers and S’mores kit. Until next time!

I’ve been staying at Air BnBs for over a decade. This is hands down the most organized and thoughtful place we have stayed. So organized and they pay attention to every detail making the house easy to enjoy. Everything you need to find is labeled and easy to find. Plenty of instructions to run the spa and pool. The barbecue area was a dream. Their place reminds me a lot of the places we have rented in Baja (Cabo and La Paz). Beautiful dessert landscape, covered and private front patio was perfect for morning coffee, pool was amazing and kept the kids busy and not bored at all while in the AV. Bonus, if there the right time of year the U Pick cherry orchard is just a quick 8 minute ride over the hill.

Very clean and comfortable place to stay. We felt right at home and Anne’s house had a lot of extras. One example was that there were chairs available for use on the beach which is a short walk away. Everything was clean and there was a full kitchen with cookware that made food prep extremely accessible. We had an accident where a drawer broke, Anne had a maintenance worker come within a couple hours. Her response time made us feel at ease knowing it would get repaired in a timely manner. We would certainly like to stay again. Thanks for hosting us Anne.

We had a great stay here. The neighborhood is nice and quiet (just some noise in mornings from bin collection), but still close to Beverly Hills, etc. The place was spotless, and hosts were responsive.

We had a great experience. The host was great. Loved the place, beautiful backyard.

Larissa’s place was so beautiful and exactly what we needed. The yard was “big dog” friendly, our fur babies enjoyed it very much! We can’t wait to come back.

this was a very beautiful location for my family to spend by the beach, beautiful area's to walk, the place was very spacious and work well for my family. thank you for having us.

Perfect for our stay in Ventura. Walking distance to the beach and places to eat. Clear instructions. Nice place.

We LOVED LOVED LOVED Elizabeth’s place soooooo much!!! We were completely wow’s by her accommodation & hosting. She brought us extra fruit on top of providing us with breakfast with all fixings you could possibly ask for our entire trip. Her coffee was delicious & the tea selection was incredible. She even left us a cooler of drinks & delicious snacks after we went to the football game nearby at the Rose Bowl. My girlfriend & I have stayed at over one-hundred Airbnbs combined & Elizabeth was by far the best host we have ever had. We felt so at home with her lovely decor, comfortable amenities, & safe surroundings. This was an airbnb experience we will always cherish & never forget. We hope to be back soon. Thank you so much Elizabeth for everything. We cannot stop talking about your place to our friends, family, uber drivers, ect ect. Your kindness & attention to detail is unmatched. Love John & Fabi

Excellent Stay for Special Occasion! We had a wonderful time staying at this charming apartment during our niece's graduation in Long Beach. The location couldn't have been better - everything we needed was within easy reach, making our trip so much more convenient. The host really went above and beyond with thoughtful touches that made our stay special. The apartment came well-stocked with extra linens, a record player that added great ambiance, and a fully equipped kitchen that had everything we needed. The cozy atmosphere made it feel like a home away from home. Perfect spot for anyone visiting Long Beach - we'd definitely stay here again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great place and such a nice host! Allowed me to check in early and check out a little later. I would definitely be booking with in the future!

Brian was a wonderful host and the place was very cozy and clean and very close to the beach. My daughter and I felt right at home and will come back and stay again as soon as we can.

The location was perfect, the house wonderful, and the beach amazing! We will definitely be staying again soon! What a great escape. Everything was just what I needed to feel comfortable. I don't think you'll regret booking.

We had the best time in this little gem of an apartment. Located in a lovely, quiet residential neighborhood of Aliso Viejo with direkt access to trails, a good connection to the freeway and only few minutes by car to beautiful Laguna Beach. Cari is an exceptional host, very thoughtful and attentive whilst always being mindful of everyone’s privacy. The unit sits tucked away in the lush and green backyard of the main property and allows for a quiet stay and feeling of safety and calm. The unit is fairly small with a tiny kitchenette, but offers everything one can need to handle daily life. Very thoughtfully equipped to make the most of every square foot, clean and high end appliances. Highly recommend this place - whether that’s for vacation or for seeking a temporary home.

The place has a nice environment and was generally comfortable. Parking was easy, which was a big plus. However, getting in was a bit tricky — you have to enter through the balcony, which was a little complicated. It also takes a few minutes for the hot water to come on in the shower, and the water pressure is just average. I recommend bringing your own shampoo and body wash, as the provided toiletries had a strong, unpleasant smell and didn’t seem to be good quality, so we didn’t use them.

We were in LA for business meetings. Before we make a reservation, we compared Ali's condo with the other condos surrounding. He is the most responsive and most helpful host, and we are so glad and lucky that we made a correct selection and book Ali's house. He likes a local friend who provided us with not only assistance/guidance on check-in and staying but also touring and catering advice. He is super responsive, proactively reaching out to us offering additional help, and so friendly. The place is clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Guests can tell from the tasty design, details of guidance, and thoughtful and convenient amenities that Ali and his wife have spent great time and effort to make this place as welcoming and cozy as possible. This place is definitely our stay for next visit, regardless for business or private. The location is close to everything, peaceful, and in walking distance to my LA office and everything.

This was probably the most favorite Airbnb I have booked thus far. Truly the cutest little apartment in Ventura. It was extremely walkable, and I thought the street parking would be difficult, but it was not a problem during our stay. I will say that although the location is convenient, you are right next to the street - so if you are someone who needs earplugs to rest or needs complete silence I recommend bringing some as it can be loud out there in the late hours. This place was exactly as described and was perfect for what we needed to do! Thank you so much David! We plan to visit again!

This trip was awesome! The home at Hamilton Cove was perfect and the view is amazing!! My family and I cannot say enough good things about this place. We are already planning our next trip. Thank you so much!!

This place was absolutely beautiful with an amazing view of the water! Beach access was also great to have very close by! It was great being able to fall asleep with the sound of the waves! Amazing air bnb to stay at!

We had a great stay! The apartment was lovely and comfortable. It was near to places and people that we wanted to see while there. Cynthia was a very helpful and friendly host!

Very clean unit, and as described in the listing. Good value for a stay in Long Beach. Miguel was also a generous host - plenty of linens, towels, paper towels and bathroom tissue, in addition to pantry stocked with the necessities.

Cute and clean home! Walkable location to restaurants and the beach area. Thank you

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.
