Ocean Breeze Beach Home
We had a nice stay at this well equipped house with extended family and our dog. We appreciated the cleanliness, the many bathrooms, fluffy bath towels, and the short walk to the beach. We would stay here again.

Cozy Boho Beach Bungalow • Big Backyard • Dogs!
We had a fantastic stay at this charming beach house in Oxnard! The home itself is super cute and incredibly comfortable—perfect for our family trip with young kids and dogs. The hosts went above and beyond in thinking through every detail: there were kid-friendly plates and cups, dog bowls and leashes, high-quality toiletries, and a well-stocked kitchen that made it easy to settle in and enjoy. The location is wonderful—you can see the ocean from the house, and it’s just a short, easy walk to the sand, even with toddlers in tow. The beach feels semi-private despite being public, which made for a peaceful and relaxing experience. We also loved how quiet and safe the neighborhood felt. Our kids could walk around comfortably, and we appreciated the calm, friendly vibe of the area. All in all, a perfect beach escape for families. We’d absolutely stay here again!

The Beach House at Silver Strand, Channel Islands
Wonderful home within walking distance to the Pacific Ocean. Convenience store within walking distance as well. Booking the place happened very quickly even as we were looking at the last minute. Response communications were very timely as well. The house was very cozy and conducive to our family getting together for my niece's graduation at CSU-CI. Loved that you can open the windows for fresh air. Beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed using the kitchen for home cooking and baking. Upstairs/outside deck was very nice, but we all preferred to stay inside the house. Totally recommend Jesse & Abha's home for your vacation get-away needs.

Shoreline Escape
We had a great time and the location was perfect. We would definitely rent again from Mary.

Remodeled home steps from the Beach - 6 person hot
Nice quiet place at a great location with very comfortable beds. And so close to the beach!

Mesa Beach House, short walk to beach, EV charger
Fantastic place. House is beautifully decorated and has a very peaceful vibe. Beds and linens were incredibly comfortable. High end fittings and kitchen appliances made the place feel very luxurious. The landscaping was beautiful and the fire pit and quaint backyard great for enjoying the fine California summer weather. We feel blessed to have been able to stay here.

The Best by Sliver Strand Getaway
Beautiful place, well taken care of. Quiet, peaceful location with a beautiful private beach just a few minutes’ walk from the front door.

Surfside Zen Steps to the Beach!
William was great to work with and we loved the place. Easy walk to the beach and we had the whole beach to ourselves. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there!

Port Hueneme 2 Bd, 2BA w/ Ocean View Beach Living
My wife and I stayed here while I attended a conference 45 minutes away, inland. I’m so glad we stayed where we did because of the views. Not difficult to get around. Grocery store and restaurants are not a far drive away. The place had everything we needed. Older adults, so pretty quiet. You can see and hear the ocean from the condo. Host was quick to respond to any questions.

Charming Coastal Getaway
Charming unit and a short walk to Linden Ave. A few hundred yards to beach entrance. Host was very responsive. We will come again.

Cozy condo with private patio 150 steps from sand
Amanda’s place made it super easy to get everything I wanted out of this amazing town! Truly just 1 minute from the beach, walkable to the cute DT, parking spots were easy to find, and very peaceful little patio. Thank you for a great stay!

Carpinteria beach/pool condo/awesome beach views
Nice, cozy condominium. Close to the beach and the private gated parking was awesome. We even enjoyed the pool daily. Loved walking to the beach daily. We would stay here again in the future. The kitchen was very well stocked for our needs. We were able to prep food for my son’s PhD graduation party which was held in Goleta. The refrigerator was large enough to hold the food. Thank you for sharing your condo with us. Jackie and Kevin Auburn. Ca.

Walk to the beach! Newly Remodeled Townhome
This AirBnB was one of the best that I have stayed in. There were 4 of us and we were more than comfortable. Sarah was very responsive and proactive. I would definitely stay here again if I am in the area!

Upper Unit Beachfront "Boathouse" House!
Cozy and immaculately maintained 70’s nautical beach vibes. Extremely friendly and responsive host. A very special place! Two things I did not like: 1. 4pm check-in (3pm more reasonable) 2. 10am checkout! (Should be 11am) These adjustments would be more fair to guests still leave plenty of time for cleaning before the next guests arrive.

Architect's 2 Bed Beach House 1 blk to beach!
Would definitely stay again! 5 minute stroll to beach, lots of parking, great amenities and patio. Short drive to downtown or airport. 15 minutes. Very comfortable!

Stroll Along the Shore at this Luxurious Retreat!
Our stay in Carpinteria was amazing! The host was very responsive and friendly. The location was absolutely perfect since we were one block from amazing beach with amazing sunrises and sunsets with a beautiful walk path. All the most amazing restaurants were in walkable distance or biking. There was also a grocery store nearby and coffee shops to choose from. The place was immaculate and had everything we needed. Bikes and other recreational equipment in the garage where very convenient. grill outside and fire pit were, our nighttime favorites since the nights get a little chilly. The views of the mountains and access to wine tour was also great. I would love to come back next time with my daughter.😊

Cali Coop - West Beach Paradise
This is a good rental. The location is great. You can walk to so much very quickly, yet the neighborhood was quiet. The unit is well designed and clean. The kitchen is well stocked. The two bathrooms were nice as my wife and I each had our own space Parking is on street, and there was always an abundance of places to park right next to the house.

1/2 Blck to Bluff, 6 Blcks to Mesa Beach Stairs
My husband and I had a very peaceful and relaxing three nights at this property. We loved the location and beautiful layout and decor of the house. Lynn was very friendly and responsive. We would definitely like to come again in the future.

THE GETAWAY - Beachfront retreat in Pierpont Bay.
Daniel was very accommodating. The house and location were beautiful. There's lots of local restaurants that were very good. The house is updated with modern features and a really warm fireplace. Daniel was a very responsive host and answered all our questions in a timely manner. We will definitely be back!

New! Beach house, Steps to Sand, King Bds, Game Rm
