“It's a quiet, comfortable, and most importantly, clean accommodation that's great for healing. There are many beaches within walking distance, and I even visited Sungit, a beautiful spot where cosmos flowers bloom. Gazing at the crystal-clear sea like glass beads and the refreshing sky, I felt the scent of autumn deeply and enjoyed little moments of happiness. I'm taking home the warm feelings from the host's welcome snacks and thoughtfulness.”

“It was a wonderful place with a really great view right in front of the sea~I had a great 3-week stay. If I have a reason to come back to Gangneung for a long time, I definitely want to visit again~ I got by without a car, and there were several restaurants nearby, so it was very convenient~ My child enjoyed the beach to their heart's content ㅋㅋㅋ It was convenient that there was a city bus stop near the beach. However, the bus stop to go into Gangneung city takes about 15 minutes to walk~ The host was kind and responded quickly, which was great. Since I have a child, I cooked a lot at home, and most of the necessary items were available, which was good. However, items like pots, frying pans, and rice cookers were quite old with chipped coatings or felt outdated, which was a bit disappointing~And there were no seasonings, so that was a bit...Probably not many people come all the way here to cook and eat, so it should be fine to just buy simple things and eat them without any inconvenience~ The cleaning didn't feel thoroughly clean, so that was also a bit disappointing, but the view from the house and the location were really the best. Overall, it was a really satisfying accommodation. Thank you^^”

Right outside the front door, the quiet residential streets of Songjeong-dong lead you straight toward the coast in just minutes. This pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment is a straightforward base for a solo remote worker traveling with a dog.
“It's a new building, so it's clean and the parking lot is spacious. They prepared it so that I could stay comfortably from the first day. And I brought my cat, and it took some time for him to get used to it, but he came back safely. If you have a pet, this is a good choice. The best part is that Songjeong Forest Trail and the beach are nearby. Thanks to that, I often went for walks, and there is a Hanaro Mart, E-Mart, Starbucks, and Mega Coffee nearby. I recommend this place.”

LiveAnywhere is Korea's favorite short-term and vacation rental platform, built for extended stays of one week to six months. From trendy studios in Seoul to relaxing beach houses in Jeju, every home comes fully furnished and can be booked in minutes through the LiveAnywhere app.
It works much like Airbnb, but with a structure designed for longer visits: competitive weekly and monthly rates instead of nightly pricing, no repeated cleaning fees, and utilities included in your payment. That's why an extended stay in Korea through LiveAnywhere often costs noticeably less than booking the same period on a nightly platform.
Some listings include a small security deposit, far smaller than the large lump-sum deposits required by traditional Korean leases. Your deposit is held securely in escrow by LiveAnywhere, not by the host. After checkout, the host checks the property, and once they confirm there are no issues, your deposit is refunded within a maximum of 5 business days.
Looking for an Airbnb alternative in Gangreung? LiveAnywhere is built specifically for stays of a week or longer, with pricing that reflects that.

No Korean guarantor is required to book a stay in Gangreung on LiveAnywhere. That's built into how the platform works, so you can complete the entire booking online without needing someone to co-sign.
