Ideal Group Getaway: Private 4BR, Pool, Spa, views
Mariah and James are incredible hosts and would 10/10 recommend them to anyone. James really went the extra mile to make sure we had a great stay.

Yosemite Hotspot's Waterfall
Our group of 4 families stayed at both house A and B for 5 nights. It’s convenient to have 2 houses right next to each other with 2 fully stocked kitchens (all kinds of cooking tools and appliances you’ll need) to cook for a very large family. Rusty and Renae’s houses are less than 20 minutes from Bass Lake and 30 minutes to the entrance of Yosemite Park. It’s also conveniently located less then 5 minutes to grocery stores and gas stations. All bed linens and towels were very clean. The kids especially like the arcade games and board games. The hosts were flexible and tried to accommodate our needs as much as possible. Our whole extended family really enjoyed staying at Rusty and Renae’s homes.

Luna Vista - Joshua Tree Highlands Nature Retreat
A Magical Desert Escape – Luna Vista is Perfection! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our recent stay at Cindy's stunning Luna Vista in Joshua Tree was nothing short of magical. Nestled under the stars and the glowing moon, this home offered the most tranquil and soul-refreshing experience our family has ever had. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty of the home—perched like a castle on a hill, with breathtaking views in every direction. The house itself was immaculate: fully stocked, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully designed to make you feel right at home (or better!). Every detail was perfect—from the cozy linens to the well-equipped kitchen and outdoor spaces that felt tailor-made for relaxation and stargazing. Cindy was an absolutely exceptional host—warm, responsive, and genuinely committed to making our stay unforgettable. Her attention to detail and hospitality set a new standard.

Modern Bay Park Home Views and Spa
Very safe and quiet neighborhood easy access to freeway and easy traffic flow. The house is as shown in the photos. Outside back area is wonderful. Easy communications, Bruce always addressed texts in a timely manner. Very easy check out - just drop keys in mailbox.

Walk to town! Redwood Studio cozy retreat for two
Kathleens place was a magical getaway surrounded by the biggest redwoods. Its close / walkable to the sights and sounds of Gville town but also located above in the mountains and trees in your private world. I would come back and stay again and again.

The Enchanted Manor-Private Oasis
Context: We stayed at the Enchanted Manor for the July 4th Long weekend. We went in for a family wedding. The Guests were Myself, my mother, and my sister all sharing the house. The place is excellent, great pool, and accommodations, and is visually stunning, my mom was ecstatic about how great of a place it was. The place was clean, and as advertised. Georgia (the Hostess) lives on the premises, but you'll only see if you want to. the Property is divided into effectively a semi-attached house. However, we wanted to see her, and my mom and Georgia seemed to quickly develop a friendship. The backyard is fantastic, we had some family over to swim over the weekend and it went over well with everyone. Street parking was easy for us, and we didn't have any issues. Overall, great place, a great hostess, and overall quite a nice experience. If you're thinking of staying there and are reading this: You're in great hands If you're Georgia, and you're reading this: Thanks for a nic

SF 2 BDR 1.5 bath Flat w/Ocean Views parking
We stayed here on Mother’s Day weekend. The house has a great view. The backyard is beautiful as well. We could relax out there at almost any time of the day. Evenings were especially nice. The entire house was very clean and quaintly decorated. The neighborhood is quiet. You can walk to a little livelier area for coffee and shopping and lots of restaurants. The neighborhood is not too far from downtown. You can take an Uber or Waymo to just about everything in the city from there if you don’t want to drive.

Laguna Beach Cottage Home-beach across st.
Third year staying at this spot. We absolutely love everything about it

🌟The Aurora Star🌟 Joshua Tree - Modern Mini Home
I stayed here for a month. It is north enough from the main road that you have a serenity from any “road traffic”. You are close to many things driving (5-15 minutes) away from most of what you’ll need: gym, groceries, mom and pop shops, etc. You are truly 10 minutes from the West Entrance from the park so you can sneak away early mornings there and be back if you have to work no problem. The Aurora Star is also well equipped, simple but all that you need to feel cozy. The team behind it is so helpful and I’m so grateful to have had it been home. Also— make sure to watch the sunrises and the sunsets from the back porch or the bedroom, they are always a show.

"Two Wolves" Spacious Haven- 4 Decks, 3 Fireplaces
We had a wonderful stay! The place was incredibly peaceful, clean, and exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. The surroundings were quiet and serene—perfect for unwinding. Everything was well-maintained and thoughtfully prepared, from the cozy furnishings to the little touches that made it feel like home. Communication was smooth, check-in was easy. We absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a calm and comfortable retreat!

Close to Disneyland| 5BD/3BA|King Bed|Disney+Hulu+
Loved staying at Trinh's place! Great location! Loved it so much we are booking a year in advance for our team again. We went to LA for an Expo and it was close enough to Anaheim that it didn't feel like I was driving for hours each day! The kitchen setup is my dream. 5 rooms with proper beds and the master bedroom was really nice with it's own bathroom. 5 minutes from any shops. All good things to say about this airbnb. Thanks again Trinh for a lovely stay. ~Govinda

Charming Upstairs Apartment Near Yosemite/BassLake

Vacation home in Point Loma - Close to everything!
My boyfriend, friend and I stayed in Jackie’s home this weekend and it was perfect for our group. The Airbnb is in a very safe location located about 10 mins from the airport and right next to a Ralph’s. We were visiting from out of town to run in the Rock n Roll half marathon so the hot tub was a huge bonus for us. We also appreciated the washer/dryer. Jackie provided all necessary instructions to provide for a seamless check in/check out and was quick to respond to any messages sent. I 100% would recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting the San Diego area

Cozy Desert Retreat with Relaxing Jetted Jacuzzi!
House was much better than we expected- brand new looking, very clean, very spacious and already cool inside when we arrived (over 100 degrees outside). We think that it is well worth the price we paid. Our host, Bill, responded right away when I called and friendly. We really do not have any complaints at all.

Enchanted Seclusion IN Sequoia Forest by River!
Carolyn’s place is an incredible location! I m always so grateful for the amazing places we get to go to through Airbnb! My family loved swimming in the river and I loved the privacy and the nature! We all had an amazing time!

Seaflower Cove: Spacious 4bd waterfront retreat
Wow! The view from this house was spectacular. We spent the bulk of time in the dining room and living room so we always enjoyed the sun and sea views. The place was clean and just like the photos. This house was big enough for 8+small child, but only wish was that there be another bathroom for us all. Overall we loved visiting Gualala and Sea Ranch while staying at this house, which was perfect for us.

Hoot Owl Ranch - Cabin near Pappy and Harriets
I know, we gave it all 5 stars and that looks unreal but it really was. It was a relaxing, well cared for atmosphere and exactly what our family needed. The hoot owl property is a true work of art and you can tell it was created by someone who loved what they were doing. Joshua Tree is just a short drive away, yet it feels like you are already in the park. I hope we can return one day.

Rejuvenate! Remodeled home, 180-view on 4-acres.
Host are great! Easy to get into awesome communication and amazing location and views. Highly recommend, would definitely come back again.

Cayucos Beach Getaway w/ Ocean Views!
Karen was a fantastic organized proactive host and her house was a pleasure to stay in! Would happily go back

Tito's Getaway/Desert Princess Palm Springs Resort
Wonderful experience! My family spent three nights there and it really felt like a home away from home. The house is located in a private golf club, which offers a peaceful environment and beautiful views. Larry is very responsive. The house is kept clean and tidy, but also cozy. We really enjoyed the stay and felt like being in our own home!

Lloyd's Lookout
Perfect location for hiking and kayaking. Easy to get to town. Loved it.

The SkyVilla Penthouse
Excellent place, great host. I enjoyed my stay, amazing views. I highly recommend.

Tariff Discount: Romantic Retreat w/ Spa
Very remote and beautiful home in the middle of the forest. Love the property and house aesthetics. Hot tub is private and a lot of entertaining space. Only 1 bathroom but very nice. Within 10 minutes of great food and drink and Wineries.
