Finding a proper, accommodating Airbnb is pretty easy these days, but finding one where you can wake up, grab your board, and start skating without leaving the property? Well, believe it or not, that's actually sort of easy these days, too! And we can thank SkateBnb for that. 

Whether it’s a backyard bowl, a perfect little mini ramp, or a straight-up private concrete paradise, the options are surprisingly endless! So in case you’re planning your next skate trip and want more than just a place to crash, these five skate-friendly Airbnbs should be at the top of your list. 

1. Fiji St. Louis

Location: St. Louis, Missouri

At first glance, I saw a welcoming little patio with a grill and a concrete paradise that is literally better than my local skatepark. Fiji St. Louis is the ultimate destination for a proper skate-cation. Book this little gem on your next trip and let the good times roll. 

"Fiji St. Louis is the sister house to Cooler BnB. The skateboard park has a shallow end two foot concrete half pipe that waterfalls into a five foot concrete half pipe with a parking slab bank into the alley. The house has entertainment centers, foosball and mini-pool. The bedrooms upstairs (sleep two each) and there are two pull out couches (sleep two each) in the living room/dining room."

2. Pupukea Paradise

Location: Pupukea, Hawaii 

As if Hawaii wasn't already one of the most bucket list-worthy destinations in the world, Pupukea Paradise makes this tropical paradise even more desirable. Wanna visit the North Shore? This is the move.

"Come spend your time on Oahu’s North Shore in the serene country setting of Pupukea. Minutes from world famous beaches and surf spots, the property is 1 acre of natural beauty. The private, covered skatebowl was built by Grindline. Fully lit for nighttime skating. This rental is the entire downstairs of the main house. The owner lives upstairs and a long term tenant lives in a stand alone 1 bedroom unit on the property. The bowl is shared with them. Message owner if you’d like to request a time slot without anyone else is using the bowl. There is also someone who does massages in a small hut near the bowl and we ask that nobody skates during those times (usually only occasionally a couple days a week)."

3. DIY Skate Pool Ensenada 

Location: Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico

From your favorite pros to the most ambitious weekend warriors out there, DIY Skate Pool Ensenada has become a must-visit destination for skateboarders in and around Southern California. Beware, though—that transition is tight and tough! But the vibes are priceless and views are endless.

"This spot began in 2021 with the help of local and San Diego skaters. Over time,this spot has grown from a humble project to a skaters paradise. Located minutes away in the hills above Ensenada, BC. This home accommodates 3 people comfortably. There is a bedroom with terrace on the second floor with 3 beds. There is a kitchen, an outdoor bathroom, charcoal grill and a patio with a fire ring.

4. Gregside 

Location: Arvada, Colorado 

Classic Colorado concrete! All I know is that Gregside is the perfect little getaway if you're traveling to Colorado. A no-nonsense bowl that looks like tons of fun? What more do you need!? Film an edit, keep the sessions flowing and enjoy that fresh Arvada air at this little hidden gem. 

"Gregside is a 2000sqft house in a prime location to skate and explore Colorado. It’s within a mile from the Old Town Arvada RTD light rail, making it easy to hit the airport or cruise around the city for all sorts of entertainment. It’s also minutes from the highway, making a rip up to the mountains quick."
