Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Channel Islands of California

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.

This space was everything we could have imagined and more! Cozy, quiet, and felt like home. One perk, that was essential for us, was being close to the beach. You walk through the back parking lot & you’re there! I’m home laundry was a huge perk as well. We did end up needing some assistance with a couple things around the home & our host responded right away (even called to help!). Being new to Cali was made so much easier with AvantStay. 10/10 recommend!

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 an amazing stay at this beach house! The location was perfect—just steps from the sand. The house was clean, spacious, and well-stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. We especially loved the outdoor shower, cozy living area, and fully equipped kitchen. The host was responsive and made check-in super easy.

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.

Thank you for the great memories that we will treasure forever in your beautiful home. My 4 year old grandson loved the bunk beds when he came to visit us.

Amazing stay. The home is beautiful. We settled in easily. The beach is a super short walk away, comfy beds, modern kitchen it was a great weekend away. Amelia is a great host and communicator. I hope to stay again soon.

The place is great. We felt very comfortable here. Terry is very accommodating.

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.

This apartment is unbelievably adorable! Super clean, charming, and centrally located. The beds were so comfy too. Would definitely stay here again. They even left us a complimentary bottle of wine. 5 stars all around!

Amazing stay! The apartment is located right on the beachfront with direct access to the beach — you can literally walk out and feel the sand under your feet. The place is clean, cozy, and exactly as described. We loved waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying morning coffee with a sea view. The host was friendly and responsive. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful beach getaway!

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.

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 unit within Hamilton Cove has been our best vacation yet. The views from the balcony were stunning. The entire unit felt clean and was very spacious for me and my now wife. The golf kart was a plus - it was a short 5-8 minute ride into downtown. Hosts were responsive. Definitely will be coming back to stay here 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!

Glory is a very kind host, and the place is very clean and extremely comfortable to stay in.

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

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great stay! The room was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The kitchen was perfect and well-equipped, making it easy to cook meals. The location was convenient, the host was responsive and helpful, and the check-out process was extremely easy. We would definitely stay here again in the future!
