A small and quiet city, it contains all the amenities and tourist attractions of a big city. Go to Whittier Museum to learn more about the life and history of Richard Nixon and catch sight of exhibits that can be dated back to the 20th century. Knott’s Berry Farm is a good outdoor option for families. Jump on the thriller rides and scream your lungs out. Take a walk around Camp Snoopy and mine for gold while you are there. When hunger strikes, head to Fresh off the Hook Grill or Costa Whittier Restaurant for seafood that’s bursting with umami. Shoppers can unite and head to Brea Mall, where there are many departmental stores and luxury shops. With the great number of attractions, you will need a place where you can fall into a deep slumber easily. Read on for a list of the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Whittier, California.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 09, 2024.
