There’s plenty to see and places to visit in Los Angeles, from tourist magnets like Warner Bros Studio to hiking spots at Griffith Park. While here, you can also explore Venice Beach and check out the shops and galleries along Abbot Kinney Boulevard. If you don’t know where to stay, you can’t go wrong with a beachfront home - you can explore the city easily while enjoying a comfortable stay right by the ocean. These properties offer clean rooms, comfortable beds, a kitchen, and many other basic amenities along with some fun elements to make your stay pleasant and memorable. Enjoy a candle-lit dinner after sunset, a dip in the pool, or a soak in the hot tub on a chilly LA evening, all while being steps away from the ocean. Here are the best beachfront Airbnb vacation rentals in Los Angeles.

What’s happening in Los Angeles:

  • Booklovers should make sure to stop by the city for L.A. Times Festival of Books, the largest of its kind in the country, which will be held on April 20 and 21, 2024. While general admission is free, there will also be paid events where you can catch some of the most prolific authors or popular celebrities of our time. Tune in on March 13 for the lineup!
  • If you're a foodie, you can't miss Dine LA Restaurant Week, which will be taking place from July 12 to July 26, 2024. Expect incredible prix fixe lunch and dinner menus across both cozy local joints and Michelin-starred restaurants.
  • Tickle your funnybone at Netflix Is a Joke Fest between May 2 and May 12, 2024. Top comedians such as Sarah Silverman and Nick Krol will be present, among over 400 artists, so you're sure to have a good time.
  • The Original Farmer's Market, now in its 90th year, is hosting the first-ever Original Farmers Market VinylFest on December 7, 2024. Celebrate the retro era with record dealers, a live DJ, vintage stereo equipment, and memorabilia, to name a few things.
