Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Playa del Rey, Los Angeles

We chose this place for its location on a quiet side street a 6-minute drive from our daughter's house. But it also turned out to be convenient to numerous restaurants and shopping areas, not to mention an easy 35-minute ride to Malibu. Don't be misled by the unprepossessing exterior. The interior was modern, spacious, bright, sparkling clean, and beautifully furnished, with tasteful and functional updated kitchen and baths. The listing photos are totally accurate. There was plenty of elbow room for ourselves, our daughter and son-in-law, and their 6-year-old son (who also enjoyed the wooden playscape). A final note: the only things Sara asked of us on checkout were to put the keys back in the lockbox and make sure the furniture hadn't been moved. No burdensome cleaning chores required, a refreshing change from some of our previous Airbnb experiences.

Beautiful interior and exterior spaces and a fantastic, spectacularly well stocked kitchen that serious cooks will love. And Brett was the perfect host!

The house is walkable to beach, church, restaurants and Ralph groceries. Open living room kitchen and dinning room makes it a wonderful place for family to dine, chat, watch tv and play games together. We had a wonderful time for our family of 4 and two dogs! Thanks!

Frank and Lenka’s place is conveniently located within 15 min of major attractions- Universal, Warner Brothers, Beverly Hills to name a few. Some other reviewers said that the road noise in the front of the house didn’t bother them, but we found it pretty loud. Parking was easy with the included parking pass, although I tried to park on the side streets when possible because the cars constantly flying by the front of the house made me nervous! We appreciated the nice appliances in the kitchen and access to laundry. Unfortunately it was a bit chilly during our visit so we didn’t get to sit outside on the private side patio, but the cushions seemed a bit dirty. Frank and Lenka were quick to respond to the questions we had.

We came back and stayed here a second time - I think that says it all. The house is very clean and the location works great for us.

This was a very nice house to stay in a little smaller than I would’ve liked but in a great neighborhood and two blocks from the beach, so it’s a wonderful location It was super clean and well organized. A couple times I needed questions answered. I called and they picked up and took care of the issue right away. Highly recommend.

Elizabeth's place was perfect! It was just the right amount of space for the two couples. There were extra beds in each room, and a roll-away bed that we used for an additional family member to stay Christmas night! The backyard had plenty of seating to arrange however guests would like. Having 2 bathrooms is always a plus in an airbnb! We hosted Christmas dinner there and the kitchen and dining area held us all! The short distance from airport was great! Elizabeth was SUPER responsive, no matter what time of day or night it was! That was the most important part of our trip, considering it was the week of Christmas! We plan to try to stay at her place every time we visit LA if it is available!

Thank you very much Eloisa for a great stay in your charming house😀 The house was great for our six person family and the location also. All the information was accurate and Eloisa gave all the information needed beforehand so that the checking in was very easy. Absolutely would visit again!

super helpful to us in a difficult time, got us in early and very responsive!

Our stay was truly exceptional! The community is serene and the perfect base for exploring popular destinations like DTLA, Santa Monica, Hollywood, Orange County, and more. The house exceeded our expectations with its comfortable and inviting accommodations. We can't wait to return!

Place was great. Clean, quiet. Host is very responsive and available all the time Thank you for accommodating to our special request for physical key. It was very important for us. Thank you for your support in this challenging time during fire in la.

Julia was the pinnacle of what a 'perfect' host should be. She was considerate, communicative, and very clear in her instructions. I've stayed at a variety of places around the world, and I'd argue she offers a world-class. I'd encourage anyone who might be interested in the area or this place to just book with her. You won't regret it!

Our stay was very enjoyable! The location of the place was fantastic—everything we needed was conveniently close by. The property itself was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. We had a great experience and would highly recommend it to others.

We really enjoyed our stay at Shawn’s place. I plan to stay there again the next time I’m in LA.

Georgetta was very pleasant and answered very quickly. Place is close to all the places we wanted to visit. Will book again.

Studio as depicted in photos and great to have a parking spot directly outside.

We had an incredible stay! Ben and Alexis were extremely accommodating and responsive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The house itself was absolutely spectacular—beautifully designed, warm, and perfect for gathering with friends. We spent most of our time lounging in the spacious kitchen and the inviting outdoor patio, both of which were highlights of the property. The artwork throughout the home added a fun and unique touch that made the experience even more memorable. The location was ideal—central and convenient, with easy access to all of our destinations across LA, typically within 10–15 minutes. It made exploring the city a breeze! This stay was a 10/10 experience, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, stylish, and well-located place in LA. We can’t wait to come back in the future!

Beautiful and clean place. Amazing communication with hosts

Great little home conveniently located to hiking, freeway and some good restaurants! would go back anytime!

The location of this house is truly special, with breathtaking views that we never got tired of. Waking up to the sunrise over The Valley and the surrounding mountains each morning was pure magic. The pool area is fantastic - perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sun. We also loved how peaceful and quiet the surroundings were despite the proximity to the busy Ventura Blvd. Our host was easy to communicate with and very helpful throughout our stay.

We had an amazing stay with Vanessa in Malibu. A really gorgeous place with an incredible view surrounded by wildlife and tranquility. Really good bird watching opportunities from both the deck and the lower viewing area. Incredible sunrises. This was also the best stocked airbnb I’ve ever stayed in! Plenty of everything, especially in regard to kitchen supplies. I highly recommend this Airbnb - you won’t be disappointed!

Wow! We loved Stephen’s home. A beautiful location amd extremely responsive host. The thai meal that was cooked for us was the BEST we’ve ever eaten. Couldn’t recommend more highly amd hope to return soon ❤️

We had a great stay at Nathan’s villa. Before we checked in, Nathan was responsive to every single question in a short amount of time, and coordinated with Terranea to provide what we needed (such as a pack n play). The villa is spacious and perfect for a family, everything was just as described, and we would recommend this stay to anyone. The peaceful home away from home we needed during these times.

Mark's place was amazing. Better than home away from home. The kitchen was absolute heaven to be in, and so thoughtfully stocked with any supplies we could possibly need, even a pasta roller and an entire rack of spices! The space was spotless, the main bed was SO comfortable and the hot tub and pool were a soothing dream to return to at the end of each day. We would absolutely stay again in a heartbeat and highly recommend to anyone considering a stay.
