Family-friendly vacation rentals in Channel Islands Beach

One member of our party texted me after we parted ways to say “Thank you for finding the awesome Air BnB.” It worked out beautifully for us. Convenient, clean, and comfortable. When we had a question we got a quick response.

Beautiful house with an amazing porch. Sat outside every morning and evening. Spacious so we could spread out - important with teenagers. Kitchen was well stocked so we were able to cook dinner at home.

This place was the perfect spot for our group attending a wedding in Malibu. The Airbnb was well provisioned with anything you could need and comfy beds. Everything was super clean!

Great location, comfortable stay!

Perfect house for adult family of four over Christmas. Great kitchen for preparing Christmas lunch. Enjoyed the hot tub.

Perfect for us! Lots of space and light, really nice master bedroom and bathroom, good beds. And a better deal than most in the area. Very nice and communicative host. Thanks, Gloria!!

Amazing house with so much charm! Great outdoor spaces too. Loved it will book again!

Amazing place & amazing host! My girlfriend & I had the best time! We can't wait to come back :)

Very accommodating - listed for three nights we asked for two nights and Robert and Arlina made it happen.

Very comfortable studio apartment with large clean bathroom. The location is awesome, a block to the beach and close to all the local attractions. It’s a basement apartment so the steps down to the front door are narrow but the host has a good strong railing to guide you. Parking is available which was an added bonus.

A very beautiful home, private, quiet, with a beautiful view. Highly recommended!

My husband likes to say..."wow, that's why Michael is a 'super host'"! This home is what every air bnb consumer hopes for. It actually exceeds your expectation. He has thought of everything and more. Every detail is covered, everything you need is there. The home is immaculate and so are all the appointments, home appliances and gardens. There is a wonderful patio and barbeque too. I remember saying 'pride in ownership'. We had a different circumstance coming here in that we were displaced by the California Wild Fires. We found the comfort of our home here and the comfort of our hosts, who care. We had hardly anything when we got there and Michael and his wonder partner provided for, and had already thought of everything. We were fortunate this home was available when we needed it. As far as travel, if you are a tourist, I personally needed to get around, to our former home, and to work. The freeway is close by as are many wonderful restaurants. Enjoy!

We had a great stay. Plenty of space for myself, husband and 3 children. The home was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. Selin was very responsive and flexible as well. We would stay here again.

A Soulful Nature Retreat – Pure Magic Szilvia’s place is truly a hidden gem: a peaceful, soul-nourishing retreat that reflects the love and care she puts into everything. Surrounded by nature, the space is thoughtfully designed to feel warm, grounding, and deeply connected to the land. Every detail, from the natural materials to the serene atmosphere, shows how much intention Szilvia brings to creating a home that honors the earth. I had been hoping to visit for years, and finally made it rather spontaneously for the one night that happened to be available. I also joined the Hummingbird Sanctuary Experience, which was absolutely magical. Watching the hummingbirds, sipping fresh tea, and hearing Szilvia share her deep knowledge and love for nature was unforgettable. Szilvia herself is a kind, welcoming, and inspiring host. My stay left me feeling refreshed and grateful. Highly, highly recommend to anyone with a genuine appreciation for nature and seeking beauty & peace.

Excellent one bedroom unit right on the beach with the perfect location. Exactly as described and ideal for a quick weekend away. We will be back soon I’m sure!

My stay at Vivian’s place was truly wonderful! Her home is located at a very convenient location, close to everything: the market, Downtown Ventura, Botanical gardens, and the pier! The inside of her house is gorgeous, spacious, clean, and decorated so nicely. The pictures posted did not do it justice; we were pleasantly surprised! My family and I enjoyed cooking together in the spacious kitchen. The patio dining area is so lovely, but we were too cold to eat outside this time. The living room is great, my kids loved hanging out there! Vivian offers nice streaming options on TV and some games to play, so the kids were entertained the whole time. The bedrooms are serene and tastefully decorated and we appreciated plenty of closet space and the hangers. The master bedroom and bathroom are the best! My parents really loved their stay there. The room is so spacious: there is a bed, walk-in closet, a sofa, and a desk/chair. Thank you Vivian for sharing your beautiful home with us!

A really lovely gem in the hills. Great retreat for family time. Mine loved it…even the grandchild said it restored his juices.

Cute place and great location!

Amazing hole, great host highly recommended.

Rob is definitely a super host, and the location is so enjoyable, with walking distance to the sand, and town! My fiance and I will definitely look forward to another stay, and recommend this place to anyone looking for a calm relaxing get away.

The host wanted to meet at check-in as long as we weren't too late. Our plane into LA was repeatedly delayed and the host remained flexible as I updated her on our changing arrival time. Check-in was helpful because the driveway is accessed by an electric gate and we learned how it operates and where remote was located. The unit is part of a large house with access to a very nice garden. We did see the hosts in the backyard occasionally as well as their dogs but we didn't lack for privacy. The unit was really large. With an open floor plan it could be a challenge for people in a large group to find a place to themselves. The upstairs has one bedroom and then a bed and pull out couch in a common area. The bedroom is private but you walk through the loft area to access the bathroom. Both bathrooms are large and nicely finished. The hosts checked in several times via message while we were there. Easy to walk to grocery and restaurants and easy access from LAX.

Julie’s home in Ojai was a magical experience. It is beautiful inside and out, with such character and thoughtfulness. The gardens were pristine and full of gorgeous flowers, with a meditation room and lots of outdoor space. Inside was a dream, very clean yet full of life and energy. Everything you would want if you stay in ojai. It’s also very close to the town as well as nearby trails you can walk to. Julie and her daughter were lovely, responsive and knowledgeable, helping us make plans and ensuring we were comfortable. We cannot wait to come back to Julie’s place. It was so peaceful and wonderful. Highly recommend!

I usually rent a cabin somewhere in the mountains with my best pup once a year for a quiet girls weekend. This year I was hoping for something more local and stumbled upon this gem of an experience. What a beautiful place Murray and Kay have. The property is easy to find and Murray was right there (with their horses) when I pulled in. The Airstream was fully equipped and I really didn't feel like I was deprived of any creature comforts. The solar battery was enough for my couple of devices to charge. Hiking trails right outside the door and views for days. One of their horses even made it up the mountain one night to say hello. The bed was comfy and there was plenty of blankets, linens and towels. I loved every minute of my stay and look forward to visiting again.

What an absolutely lovely place to stay. The moment we opened the door I was in love!!! We could not have asked for more…close to the beach, private and tucked away, beautiful and stylish decor…we can’t wait to come back and enjoy the pool!!!
