TL;DR
Since Airbnb access is often blocked, travelers book Nha Trang accommodation via Booking.com (no-prepayment options exist) or through local agents, especially for villas and boutique hotels for groups.
Apartments can be found offline by visiting residential buildings, using a translator to ask about availability for the required dates, and viewing units in person. At Oceanus (Muong Thanh), ask at reception; never send a deposit online—pay only in person and get a receipt stating the apartment and amount. After a viewing, a booking deposit such as VND 2 million may be accepted and credited toward rent.
For renting a boutique hotel or villa with pool, meals, and a conference room for groups up to 40 people for 10-12 days in Nha Trang or Da Nang, look for local real estate agents — there's no single service that covers this directly.
Airbnb used to be the go-to for vacation apartment rentals, but with access now limited, travelers are looking for alternative apartment booking services abroad.
A cheap hotel with decent WiFi for the first few days while apartment-hunting can be found via Booking.com or similar services, with some options available without prepayment.
