“I had a great time for 6 nights and 7 days. Reservation, guidance, check-in, check-out. It was convenient because I received advance text messages and messages at the right time. I communicated well with the host, so there was no inconvenience. The door lock made it easy to enter and exit. I bought from a nearby convenience store, used E-Mart Mall's quick delivery, Coupang, and Baedal Minjok, and came back after a comfortable stay. It's a 1-minute walk from Sokcho Beach. I wanted to hear the sound of the sea, so I slept with the door slightly open. Considering that it's 7 pyeong, it seems good. Me and two dogs. We had a good rest. The accommodation condition was good, and the bedding was clean.”

“The best long-term accommodation in Mukho. The biggest advantage is that it's a newly built residence. With three elevators, a 24-hour convenience store, a gym, and parking available up to the 4th basement level, it has the best infrastructure. The interior carefully arranged by the host is also great. The toaster works really well. It's a 10-minute drive from Mukho, and in between is a railway beach park where you can go running, driving, and take photos. Around the accommodation, there's an E-mart, McDonald's, a food mart, and a fairly large commercial area, and across the street is Hansem Beach (photo above), so camping is also possible. I think it has the best infrastructure. There's also a 24-hour haejangguk (hangover soup) restaurant nearby, so you can have haejangguk in the early morning or late-night snacks. Although it's a 1.5-room, the space is divided so 4 people can live comfortably. In reality, you probably won't spend much time inside the accommodation, but the extra bedding is comfortable and ** is well-stocked. Individual air conditioning and washing machine ** were well taken care of, etc... there's really nothing to complain about. We were lucky to visit during a newly created holiday at a great price. Thank you! I want to visit again!”

“This was a solo trip I took after ending 30 years of childcare, and from the moment I arrived, seeing the homemade jam and bread in the refrigerator, I felt like I had received a truly warm welcome. The accommodation lacked absolutely nothing for the entire two weeks, and I was deeply touched by the host's thoughtfulness. I leave feeling that the sunrise I watched from the veranda every morning and the runs along the coast were gifts from a life lived in a whirlwind. Just in case, I booked accommodations for two weeks in Yangyang and two weeks in Sokcho, and I will definitely contact you again if I travel to the East Coast in the future. I had a wonderful two weeks of rest~^^”

“The host replied very quickly, and everything from booking to check-in went smoothly. The bedroom offers beautiful ocean views, and Deungdae Beach is just a 1-minute walk away, so I could easily watch the sunrise in the morning. The Sokcho pojangmacha street and restaurants are also nearby, which was great. There's free parking in the building, making vehicle management convenient, and thanks to the kind host, I was able to spend a safe and comfortable night. I feel like I really recharged my tired mind from daily life. However, the air conditioner had quite a strong smell. Still, I'd like to visit again.”

“I came back from Gangneung 15 days~ I've lived in Jeju in spring and fall but this was my first time in Gangneung, so I was a little worried about finding a place to stay, but I had a great time~ First of all, the place was newly built and very clean, and I could see the sun rising from my room, so I woke up early every day and took a picture of the sunriseㅎ When you go out, Gyeongpo Beach is right there, so it was nice to walk along the long deck road in the pine forest, and Gyeongpo Lake was also next to it, so it was nice Anmok Port Coffee Street is also close~ And it was nice that there was a washing machine in the room But it was a little uncomfortable because the vacuum cleaner couldn't empty the dustbin Other than that, it was a very satisfying trip Now, I decided not to go all the way to Jeju Island and just live in Gangneung~ I want to stay at this place again next time Thank you to the kind host who helped me make good memories~^^”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is LiveAnywhere?

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 show a deposit. What is it, and do I get it back?

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.

Is there a good Airbnb alternative for a stay of a week or longer in Gangwon?

LiveAnywhere is one of the more practical Airbnb alternatives in Gangwon for stays of a week or longer. Because pricing is built around longer bookings instead of nightly turnover, the same place often costs less than paying night by night. Cleaning fees don't repeat with every stay, utilities are included, and every host is verified and operating legally.
