The place was nice ! The view was amazing! Very relaxing I will definitely return
Dominique · Breathe Malibu - Ocean Front Condo w/ Beach Access · November 2026
This house was excellent and one of the nicest rentals I’ve had in Palm Springs. The host is very responsive, helpful and had very clear and easy check in and check out instructions. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything we needed. The place was very clean and exceeded our expectations.
Jesse · Large Pool, Spa, Mnt Views & Sauna | 5 Min to Town · November 2026
We had a great stay at this property. 3 girlfriends traveling for a wedding, and we had enough space for all of us to get ready, and enjoy our weekend in Palm Springs. The house was very clean, there were plenty of towels and sheets for the 3rd bed were easy to find. The managers messaged us in advance about a plumbing issue but it was easy to work around the problem. The neighborhood was very quiet and the house had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again when visiting palm springs. 10 min from the main drag meant it was easy to go back and forth, without dealing with the noise of a busy weekend in Palm Springs.
Kara · The Blue Door Bungalow - Your Private Palm Springs · November 2026
We had a great experience working with Open Air Homes! From the initial booking to checkout, their team was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and easy to communicate with. They were especially helpful when we needed to adjust our reservation dates and made sure we had all the information needed for a smooth arrival. The property itself is beautifully designed, with thoughtful interiors and wonderful amenities. It was a great option for an extended business stay in Los Angeles. A special thank you to the Open Air team for their professionalism, flexibility, and hospitality throughout. We truly appreciated the experience and would be happy to book with them again!

David · Sunsplash by Open Air Homes - Pool, Mountain Views · November 2026
This place was amazing. It is right over top of the ocean. The view is spectacular. You can hear the waves crashing. The interior is very peaceful and zen. We walked to Duke’s for a great dinner and the location is also a quick 8 minute drive to Malibu Farms and the farmers market. Also great places. Oh ya, we also saw dolphins swimming by from the oceanfront patio. All and all a great place. We would definitely stay there again!
Fotis · Breathe Malibu - Ocean Front Condo w/ Beach Access · November 2026
Very nice and spacious house. Walking distance to restaurants shops and beach. We enjoyed it a lot!
Ellen · Venice Estate | Plunge Pool, Sauna, Roof Deck · November 2026
Loved the place, the kitchen was well stocked to cook in and located a short walk away from the weekend farmers market. The host was extremely helpful and responsive.
Ryan · The Martini Lounge | Mid-Century with Private Pool · November 2026
Very nice place! Especially enjoyed the rooftop! Would def stay here again
Lisa · Modern 2BR + Loft Family Home, steps to Echo Park · November 2026
My girlfriend and I booked this place for a month. We are LA locals who needed a temporary home. K-town is a really fun and fairly safe for a dense, urban neighborhood. It's close to great restaurants and bars... Korean, Salvadorean, Thai, Japanese, and for dessert there's a Baskin-Robbins practically next door. Parking is a bit of a challenge but they do provide a space in the underground garage. The building itself is somewhat dilapidated but does have nice landscaping and water features. There's a laundry room that takes credit cards. This is a condominium, not an apartment, so it has a nice community feel to it. I did have to sign a sub-lease because we stayed over 30 days, but this was not a problem. The host is a management company, not an individual. They were very responsive to everything. The unit has a fully equipped, modern kitchen with a small dining area.
Mark · Modern Koreatown 1BR with Workspace · October 2026
Beautiful and so close to everything. Just ideal for a small family. We had a wonderful time. Thank you
Jacqui · Pier, Sand + Downtown at Your Doorstep · October 2026
We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful Laurel Canyon getaway tucked away in the hills. The place was spotless and tastefully furnished, felt cozy and right at home from the beginning. The home receives great natural light yet manages to keep cool, and we enjoyed having access to the well-maintained enclosed backyard for our dog. Host was proactive and communicative throughout. Highly recommended!
Tenning · Laurel Canyon Hideaway | Fireplace & Sauna · October 2026
Fantastic place. It is a true three-bedroom with a giant master suite on the second floor, with its own bathroom, balcony, lounge, and work area and, of course, the projector for large-format movies or TV. The yard was also great, with a working fire pit and grill. Everything was clean, and communications regarding check-in and check-out and everything in between were great. The location is fantastic: a little more than a block from Venice Beach, but also an easy walk to Abbot Kinney, restaurants, etc.
Arlo · Venice Walk Street Craftsman | Steps to Sand · October 2026
The home was beautiful, well kept and comfortable. The location was unbeatable. The walking paths were perfect. And the host was very responsive.
Padideh · Panoramic Ocean View - Luxe Beach Retreat · October 2026
My wife and I visit our college going kids and prefer to take a nearby Airbnb so the kids can sleep over when needed. Spotless bathrooms are a must have for us. We also love to cook and prefer a well equipped contemporary kitchen. Open Air had all of these. Plus there was generous space and well furnished bedrooms, ample closet space. We were very comfortable. The yard at the back which the main bedroom overlooks and the grill which we used quite a bit made it a delightful stay.
Salman · Sun-Drenched Spanish Manor in Mar Vista · October 2026
A recovery oasis indeed! Hosted a few friends for the fulsome workout (doable in the outdoor turf with the dumbbells/mats at the house) and plunge/sauna/tub circuit - fantastic occasion. Would stay again.
James · Zenice Beach Home - Luxury Oasis · October 2026
This Airbnb exceeded our expectations for our stay. The home is more beautiful than the photos show, and it felt so cozy and serene. The host was so responsive and accommodating throughout our stay. I’d recommend this stay to anyone, and would love to return.
Jayne · Nichols Canyon Home with Deck & Views · October 2026
We had a great time at the Martini Lounge! Adam was incredibly responsive, and the place had everything we needed for a relaxing Palm Springs weekend. The kitchen was well stocked, there were plenty of extra bath and pool towels, and the pool floaties were a great touch. The location was close to everything while still feeling peaceful and private. I miss it already!
Avery · The Martini Lounge | Mid-Century with Private Pool · October 2026
We had a great stay! We loved the pool and spa, and the house was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable vacation. The casita was a huge bonus for our multi-generational family trip, giving everyone a little extra space and privacy. We would happily stay here again!

Questions

Is booking direct cheaper?

It should be. Booking with us directly skips the extra fees other booking sites add. If you see a lower price for the same home and dates somewhere else, please reach out. We'd love to know.

How do I pay?

By card or bank transfer. Bank transfer costs a little less, and the saving is shown in dollars before you pay. Stays of 90 nights or more are paid by bank transfer.

What is the minimum stay?

It depends on the home, and each home shows its minimum when you choose dates. Short-stay homes start at 2 nights. Monthly homes ask for 28 to 31 nights.

Is there occupancy tax?

Shorter stays pay the city's occupancy tax, shown on its own line before you book. Longer stays are exempt: in Los Angeles from 31 nights, and in Palm Springs from 29 nights.

Is there a lease, a deposit, or a credit check?

Stays of 30 nights or more sign a simple California rental agreement through our licensed brokerage. Stays of 90 nights or more have a refundable security deposit, returned within 21 days after you move out. You are not charged anything until we approve your request.

Are pets allowed?

Many of our homes welcome pets. Use the Pets filter to see them. The pet fee is $150 for stays under 30 nights and $300 for a month or more.

What is the cancellation policy?

Each home shows its own cancellation policy on its page and at checkout. If you book at least 72 hours before check-in, you can also cancel within 24 hours of booking for a full refund, as California law requires.
