David's place was perfect for us! It is so comfortable and we loved watching Directv...what a treat! The kitchen space is fully stocked with lots of clear directions. David was very helpful and accommodating. Even the main house seems close to the guest house, it is still VERY private. Thank you David for a wonderful stay!!

A Happy Home
Fantastic home and fantastic host. Nili’s place is beautiful and spacious. She’s an amazing host. Friendly, helpful and responsive😀

Island Style Oasis Home- Island in the Sky
We have been coming annually to this house and we have so much fun! Everything is so clean and just such a great stay! Would recommend and stay again!

Entire Home - A Pool Oasis in Sunny Ventura - Zuni
Me and my family stayed here for the weekend and it was so beautiful. The house was so clean and they provided us coffee. There was a pool that we got to enjoy. The house itself is so beautiful and it’s very close to the beach. We loved everything about it. We wish we could’ve stayed longer definitely coming back.

Eichler -Private- Oasis: Pool & Spa Escape
This home has so much character. The 70s-inspired design is super fun and unique, and the space was perfect for our group of five. It felt spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The pool and hot tub setup really made the stay—it felt like our own private retreat. Plus, the neighborhood was quiet, safe, and peaceful, which made it easy to relax. Dicle was equally great. They shared thoughtful recommendations, were responsive whenever we had questions, and even had someone come out quickly when the hot tub wasn’t heating up properly. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience—everything was handled smoothly and with care. Would 100% stay here again. It’s a perfect spot for a chill, fun getaway with friends or family.

Cois Dara (Cush Dara) Under the Oak Permit
Julie’s place is amazing!!! Better than expected. College friend reunion. We really enjoyed the pool and the yoga studio and outdoor area. Julie is a delight!

Enchanted Forest A-Frame, Sauna, Hiking, Stars!
Sophie and Isaac were great hosts: responsive, helpful and friendly! The cabin was fully stocked with everything we needed for a cozy weekend of cooking good food, making beautiful charcuterie boards and savoring some wine on the deck surrounded by shade making trees. We enjoyed a hike at the nearby Enchanted Forest Trail, detoxed in the infrared sauna, and took the kids to the community pool. The cabin is divided into 3 floors- the main floor, the mezzanine and the basement. We were a large group, 5 adults, a teenager and 3 kids and the house was spacious and intimate at the same time. It had lots of areas to hang out in. We were there in the Summer but I imagine it is also magical in the Winter with the Pine Mountain covered in snow. Highly recommend!

Cozy serene retreat close to beach & downtown!
We loved our stay at Heidi’s place! We were travelling with two children under 10 and stayed for two nights. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The house has a wonderfully warm, lived-in feel—you can tell that your staying in someone’s beautiful home rather than a standard rental—and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The pool was, of course, a huge hit with the kids! Although the weather wasn’t on our side, the spa was perfect for warming up after a chilly swim. We’d definitely love to stay again if (or when!) we return to Santa Barbara.

Casa del Sol -Peaceful mid-century modern hideaway
Took my parents and niece for a lovely quick weekend getaway. This place felt like such a cozy oasis away from home - it’s tucked away in a nice cul-de-sac and the entire house is surrounded by trees and plants, creating such a private hideaway. Pictures truly reflect the cozy and clean environment of this place. We loved having the backyard wood fireplace to make s’mores at night and enjoy a nice glass of wine. The house is stocked with all necessary kitchen utensils and more to stay in for a nicely cooked home meal with a nice gas fireplace inside. Brenda has a nice folder with useful instructions and directions of everything around the house, local guide to restaurants and grocery stores. We ate at the Jeannine’s for brunch and ordered in from the Via Maestra 42 - both delicious options! Overall, we would love to return to this cozy oasis for a weekend! Thanks Brenda!

House with Private Park by Beach - Zipline PetsOK
Such a relaxing, peaceful and beautiful place to stay. We had a lovely breakfast on the patio followed with enjoying the swings, zip line and hammocks out on the grassy area.

Summerland Ocean View Cottage
The perfect breezy ocean view home for our weekend visit for a wedding in Santa Barbara. Plenty of room for the four of us and we loved exploring Summerland shops and restaurants a just short walk away. And the host is great too!

Hilltop Contemporary Ocean Views, 5 min to Beach
We had a very comfortable stay at Shelly's place. The home is fully upgraded and the kitchen/bathroom were stocked up well. The views from the balcony were simply breath taking. We will be back again!

Beach house near Shoreline Park- 3 blocks to ocean
good spot in great location. really nice backyard in a quiet neighborhood. walking distance to chase park and quick drive to everything else. if you have a little one that uses high chair place does not have one, and kitchen table isn't good for table chair set up, although outdoor table works well with it. everything else is great and would def stay there again.

Sweeping Ocean & Mountain Views, Private
I had another fantastic stay at Kathy’s Airbnb! The drive along Corall Canyon offers stunning views of the ocean, Santa Monica, Palos Verdes, and Catalina Island. Kathy’s home features incredible sunrise views, with gentle morning fog below. The open layout connecting the bedroom, living room, kitchenette, and bathroom creates a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Kathy is a wonderful host, always responsive to my needs. If you’re seeking a serene getaway with gorgeous vistas and a lovely host, I highly recommend this place!

Walk to State St & Beach, jacuzzi, parking, bright
Excellent location. Very comfortable home. We were able to relax and walk to many places.

Private pond & incredible views!
We traveled to the area for wine tasting and this was a great starting point. The deck, privacy, and view were exactly what we were looking for. As a bonus, there were new fluffy towels and amazing water pressure. Glad we chose this property.

Mesa Casita | walk to the beach
The house was exactly as described and in the photos. Best things about the place: location, quite neighborhood, easily accessible, close to all the beaches, added bonus is the house has all the beach gear (beach chairs, umbrella, cart to carry and beach towels). I would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again.

A Dreamy Beach Bungalow
The home is well kept and cleaned thoroughly. There’s a few bug traps around the house but we didn’t encounter any during our stay. It’s the second house in from the corner which is a busy street but you don’t hear any noise from it. Only complaint would be the windows are old and not the easiest to open - since there is no A/C opening them during our stay was a must. Overall a beautiful house!

Rancho Mesa Escondida adobe home on organic ranch
The farm is beautiful--blooming flowers, view of the valley and ocean, avocado orchards to wander in. It was perfect for our family with the pool for the the kids, lots of open space to run around in, and close to the beach. The house was well stocked with games and puzzles. House was spotlessly clean. Thank you Connie!

Shoreline Escape
Amazing little beach side cottage. We booked this place for my wedding and it was perfect. I got to relax days before the wedding had an amazing vacation, and then all me and my girls were able to get ready easily day of. I dream of coming back perfect house! Beds are super comfortable too!

Montecito Luxury Getaway (Stay Montecito)
We had an incredible stay. Beautiful home, very peaceful, comfortable and clean. Walking distance to many restaurants, shopping and Butterfly Beach. We would definitely return!

Coastal Studio by Beach and Park
Great spot & gracious hosts. I personally have always loved the Mesa neighborhood so was super happy with location within walking distance to both park/ocean as well as the main shopping center up there. Quiet & well-appointed studio with sweet private patio, great kitchen & bathroom. Nice decorative touches & immaculately clean.

Santa Barbara Dream • 3 Min Drive From Beach
Gabby was an excellent host! Very responsive and thorough. The house itself was very nice and incredibly decorated and well stocked. The backyard was even bigger than it looked in the pictures. Would highly recommend a stay here

SB Beachside Bungalow, Dog Friendly!
We had a fantastic stay at Pauline's home! It was cozy, peaceful, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. We enjoyed the easy walk to the Douglas Family Preserve, where we were treated to breathtaking ocean views. Best of all was the outdoor space—relaxing in the beautiful garden and gathering around the fire pit made our trip truly memorable.
