Home in Santa Rosa
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 194 reviewsRejuvenate in the Zen Bath at a House on Taylor Mountain
Lucy's place is perfect for a quiet holiday stay for a family. Only 15 min down the hill there are Costco, Trader Joe's, Target. The Jacuzzi is absolutely a plus! The posters on the wall are very entertaining. Until the last day, we could still find a new one and read it with a laughter. Kitchen is equipped with all the necessary things and the outdoor BBQ comes also handy. We enjoyed the tranquility and watching animals visiting the front yard very much.

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 235 reviewsCasa De Oso / Refreshed
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for our small, quiet group. The neighborhood was super cute; everyone was friendly. The surrounding area has great hiking/running with beautiful views. This place along with Los Osos is a gem!

Apartment in Avila Beach
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 161 reviewsAvila Beach amongst the Oaks - Ocean 5 minute walk
We loved our stay here! The apartment feels like a house, with plenty of room and a layout that ensures comfort, quiet and privacy. Easy walk to the beach. Hosts provided lots of suggestions for things to do and places to eat. The area is great for walking and hiking. I would highly recommend choosing John’s place as a hub for Central Coast visits.

Home in Pismo Beach
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 192 reviewsPISMO BEACH, Ca - full ocean view - sleeps 8
We stayed in Tracy’s home with another couple and both of us have younger children, 6 and 8 months. The home was perfect as there is a bedroom on the first floor and then two bedrooms on the top floor. This enabled us to use the lower level for the children and give them a quiet environment while enjoying ourselves at night. The house is very conveniently located in terms of downtown Pismo and the beach. Tracy was very responsive to any questions and we would highly recommend staying here.

Cottage in Squaw Valley
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 162 reviewsHummingbird Cottage, near Kings Canyon Nat'l Park
From the beginning Nancy was a very responsive host. The cottage is beautiful and even better than the photos. The area and property are absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. Our dog had the best time in the large yard and Nancy provided toys, towels and bowls to make our dog’s stay so comfortable. Location is at the bottom of the mountain and only a 50 min drive to the Sequoias. Can’t wait to visit again!

Home in Stinson Beach
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 402 reviewsBright and Cozy Beach Cottage
Cute cottage perfect for 2 adults and our 2 little kids. Property was clean, kitchen had everything we needed, but the real star of the show is the location. We parked in the private parking lot and didn't move the car the entire weekend. Beach access, awesome restaurant, and playground are all just a couple minutes-walk away. Would definitely stay here with my family again!

We spent 2 nights from 01/31/2025-02/02/2025. Everything was great. We were 6 people, 4 adults and 2 teenagers. Beautiful house, with everything what you need to stay. We had some issues with TV, but thank you to Dean, who arrived very quickly to fixed all problems and we could enjoyed our evening. Much appreciated. Location is very good as well. Shuttle stop is next to house. Just 2-3 min walk. Dean provided some information, which helped us. We had amazing time. Thank you Dasha and Dean.

I cannot say enough about David’s place! It was comfortable and the perfect homebase for exploring Sonoma county. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals. The deck was amazing. Everything was very clean and the linens and bed were so comfy and cozy. The hosts have thought of everything and I felt right at home.

Condo in Mammoth Lakes
4.81 out of 5 average rating, 208 reviewsRemodeled & Best Vacation Rental Value in Mammoth
Cozy condo in a very essay to manage location. Parking was always available and we could walk to stores and nearby restaurants. Shuttle to slopes on the green line to eagle lodge was very easy to walk to. Nice fireplace and dining table to hang out as a family. Comfortable loft and bedroom. No washer/dryer in unit but the management service provides more supplies such as bath towels, trash bags, etc if you ask for them and go pick them up close by. The condo is located on the second level so it is not good for someone with issues with exterior stairs. Sleds provided for fun in the snow. We had a nice time skiing and enjoying Mammoth while staying here for a week. Recommend for two couples or one family with no more than three young kids. Easy to communicate with host who is proactive about sharing information if necessary.

Home in Arroyo Grande
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviewsNEW 4BR Arroyo Grande Home • Ocean View • Gameroom
Patrick and Gina's place was a perfect fit for us to stay together with a group of friends, nice bedrooms, plenty of room in the living room, plenty of complementary Keurig coffee 😋, great game room - even though we didn't really use it this time, and the deck on top of the house being the highlight for every sunset. Great place, great fun. Thanks

Home in Kentfield
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 63 reviewsModern Rustic Retreat Home w/cedar hot tub
We recently stayed at this beautiful house in the redwood trees in Larkspur with our family, and it was an experience we’ll never forget. The location is absolutely perfect—though it feels wonderfully secluded, surrounded by nature, it’s surprisingly close to all the attractions we wanted to explore. It’s the best of both worlds: serene and peaceful, yet conveniently located. The house itself is a cozy, modern rustic dream. The design strikes the perfect balance between comfort and style, with warm wood details and large windows that really make you feel like you’re part of the forest. You can tell this home has soul and spirit, with every corner thoughtfully designed to make you feel welcome and relaxed. Overall, it was a perfect getaway for our family. The house provided the ideal space to connect, relax, and enjoy each other’s company, while also offering easy access to nearby attractions. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to create lasting memories.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The home was peaceful and located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with beautiful views. One of the biggest highlights was how welcoming they were to our pups. It made our stay even more enjoyable. Communication was excellent; they were always quick to respond to any questions we had. Overall, a fantastic experience, and we would definitely stay here again!

Home in Pismo Beach
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 311 reviewsHit the Beach from The Spot in San Luis Obispo
We enjoyed our stay at Pismo Beach thanks in large part to this perfect space. It was nice that each bedroom had their own bathroom and there was ample space to hang out and enjoy each others company. The living room is comfortable and inviting and the rooftop deck had great sunset views. The kitchen and BBQ were excellent and had all that we needed to make dinners together. The location is easily walkable to the beach, restaurants, and bars. Use of the garage and garage door opener made coming and going a breeze. There is street noise especially in the morning. If you are noise sensitive, the back bedroom is quieter. Everyone was very happy with our stay and look forward to revisiting!
