Click to book Wood & Water now: from £1650 per night A sensational property located directly on Manhattan Beach, this head-turning home is a designer's dream. The cutting-edge glass exterior contrasts nicely with the wood and stone elements inside, which serve to connect you to the natural beauty on show through the double-height floor-to-ceiling windows. The secluded bedrooms allow for a certain amount of privacy. However, it's worth noting that the third bedroom is accessed through a hatch in the ceiling of the second – which certainly makes the prospect of going to bed a lot more exciting for the kids. The communal areas are inviting and cosy and do everything possible to orientate you towards those incredible vistas. So grab a glass of wine and watch the waves roll in as the setting sun reflects off your sleek beach house. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms

Click to book Modernica now: from £1550 per night Golf fans, in particular, will see the appeal of this home's location – overlooking the 14th hole of the local country club – but anyone with an eye for design will be bowled over by its beauty. A masterclass in mid-century architecture, it's a striking place that makes the most of indoor-outdoor living with walls of glass, sliding doors, balconies and terraces. A mix of grey shades, white walls and black beams are softened with luxurious furnishings, a fireplace and comfy throws and blankets. But we doubt you'll be spending much time on the sofa when there's a lovely pool, hot tub, outdoor lounge, trampoline, and games of shuffleboard, table tennis and table football to be enjoyed. And for the golfer, there's even a mini putting green in the garden. There's a fabulous modern kitchen equipped with everything you'll need to cook at home, along with a huge dining table with seating for up to twelve indoors and another out on the terrace. We particularly love the vast master suite with its open bathroom and its balcony. You'll be a twenty-minute drive from Long Beach, with its famous dining scene and beaches, and about the same from nearby Disneyland. Sleeps up to 7 | 3 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms

Click to book Big Air now: from £1000 per night This home in Long Beach is all about beachside living. An eighteen-minute walk or quick five-minute drive will have you on Long Beach City Beach, sprawled out on the sand without a care in the world. When you want to return to civilization, the upscale shops and restaurants of Belmont are just a six-minute walk away from home. For those feeling adventurous, the area has endless water sports to try your hand at – like kite surfing, kayaking and jet skiing. But back at home, feel free to just take it easy and soak in the good vibes of the place. Natural light, wood accents and pops of orange make for a bright modern space with mid-century inspiration. We love the large dining table, ideal for getting the group all together for dinner, and the living room’s massive sofa is just waiting for a movie night. Spend the evening out on the patio, hopping in and out of the hot tub to tend to dinner on the barbecue. Afterward, the whole group can disperse to equally comfortable, private bedrooms to get some good sleep in after a day in the sun. Sleeps up to 12 | 4 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms

Click to book Time To Surf now: from £256 per night This is one super cool coastal pad. We love the stylish and laid-back design of this home that its surfer owners have lovingly crafted. Your hosts' personality really comes through elements such as the wall-mounted clock collection, the reclaimed wood wardrobe doors and the self-build spirit on show in the jungle garden. Here, they've repurposed corrugated steel panels to divide the space, built homemade garden furniture and even managed to fit in an artist studio caravan. There's even a fire pit for cosy evenings. The standout feature has got to be its proximity to gorgeous Venice Beach, an easy fifteen-minute amble away. Surf's up, so what are you waiting for. Sleeps up to 3 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book Monochrome Magnet now: from £200 per night Exquisitely designed and situated a fifteen-minute walk from the warm sands of Venice Beach, this contemporary bungalow is an ultra-modern delight hidden behind a humble timber-framed facade. Pristine white and sleek black tones, including the porch's checkered floor tiles, make for a monochrome-themed pad that’s as aesthetically pleasing as it is relaxing. We absolutely love how the home's design blurs the lines between indoors and outdoors. The living room opens up to a small terrace by way of a disappearing glass wall, making for a tranquil space that allows you to savour the fresh air from the comfort of your cosy sofa. When you get the urge to explore your local area, a short stroll will take you to the Abbot Kinney Boulevard strip where you’ll find a range of trendy boutiques and buzzy restaurants. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom
