Whale Hello! Avila Oceano Pismo
Absolutely loved my stay at Amber’s place! The beach is right down the street, and the space felt perfect in size. It’s just like a master bedroom! I’m so glad there were coat hangers, and a dresser because I always overpack and had a ton of clothes I didn’t want wrinkled. I will definitely be coming back!

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

Boho Bungalow | Sauna, Cold Plunge, Spa & Tea Bar
Great location, easy access to beaches, downtown. Comfy king sized bed. Take advantage of the fresh eggs, they were delicious. The unit is an extension of a family home but has a private entrance and feels separate. Hot tub, garden and sauna are part of a shared space with the host

Cute, Romantic Cabin!
Mona's place is very peaceful, quiet, relaxing, and very reasonably priced. The sound of water flowing from the creek in back and birds singing was lovely. We walked to the main hub of stores and entertainment. There were spiders and wildlife around as expected because it is in a national forest, so you may not like it if you don't like nature. I thought the chipmunks were cute to watch from the window. Mona's place was very cozy and I will definitely be coming back someday!

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!

Ojai Valley East End Chic Ranch with Views, 2 bdrm
Our stay at this magical home brought endless surprises. The land is full with citrus and native trees, surrounded by chirping birds. The overlooking view of the cliffs and tres from the front porch chairs brought so many happy signs of life, huge hawks, light from the sun, and glowing stars. The home itself is filled with handmade tapestries, colorful paintings, and unusual treasures that invite relaxation and play. The beds and bedding were super cozy and allowed for deep rest. The kitchen is appointed with everything you would need to cook, though the restaurants in Ojai were a short drive away. I made lasting memories in this unusual and welcoming home! And, Catie was beyond helpful. She worked with us our requests in ways that showed how much she genuinely cares about her guests. I felt so taken care of! We will return again to this place that inspired us to reconnect with ourselves and Mother Earth

Santa Ynez Wine Country Escape
I cannot say enough great things about both the home and the information and responsiveness that Todd & Jodi provided during our stay. We were fortunate to find their place available at the last minute and could not have been more pleased with the experience. Home was beautiful and on a great piece of land, peaceful, quiet and convenient. We felt right at home, almost better than right at home, which was the whole purpose of our visit. Beds, bathrooms, kitchen and all the accessories of the home were top notch. All the recommendations and help in finding last minute winery visits and dinner reservations were incredibly helpful as well. We will be back.

Quality Group Time Amidst Nature
Rented both the main house and the Zen studio for a family celebration. A beautiful setting and wonderful space made it feel very special. We had everything we needed and host was extremely responsive and takes very good care of the property.

Waterview from your Private Patio + Dogs Welcome!
My husband and I stayed for a short business trip and absolutely loved the place. It had a cute interior and exterior, and we enjoyed seeing the sea lions right across the street playing in the water. The front and back patios were relaxing, and the bed was comfortable. Couldn’t ask for much more! And price was reasonable for the area. We’ll definitely look at staying at one of their properties next time we’re in the area.

La Petite Maison Blanche. Perfect downtown retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Dawn’s sweet downtown cottage. She has created a darling, fully equipped hideaway within walking distance of State Street, and if you’d rather ride a bike around, she provides them too!!! The comfortable backyard space was a lovely place to relax with a glass of wine after a full day of walking around Santa Barbara.

POND Retreat - Quiet Country Home, Close to Trails
Very cute and quiet place. Couch was comfy and engulfs you when you sit down, loved it! A little confusing when coming in. We arrived at dark, didn’t know which door was the main entrance as there were a few doors to pass before finding the one with the keyless pad on it. That door takes you into a bedroom rather than the main part of the home. I wouldn’t suggest staying here with people you aren’t familiar or comfortable with as the only bathroom is in the middle of the house in a bedroom. So anyone sleeping in the back bedroom or the living room, has to enter the next bedroom to use the bathroom which could disturb the people in that room. Checking out at 10am was rushed when there were 4 girls trying to shower and share 1 bathroom and get packed and out of there to avoid an extra cost. I felt a little stressed that morning. Bring a thicker blanket if you sleep cold. Quits on the bed weren’t warm and my kids and I were cold. Otherwise, cute and clean home, would stay again.

Airstream Dream 'Blue Agave'
We will definitely be returning! Waking up to sweet horses and chickens, surrounded by nature and feeling completely relaxed and at home. Nan was a delightful host who helped us with everything we needed and made our kids feel like they were her own.

Oceanfront Slice of Paradise
The location was perfect, the house wonderful, and the beach amazing! We will definitely be staying again soon! What a great escape. Everything was just what I needed to feel comfortable. I don't think you'll regret booking.

Private Studio with Ocean Views
We had such a great stay. The studio was quiet and peaceful, but still just a short walk to the beach and everything we needed. We loved the ocean view from the studio and the beautiful yard surrounding the property. We’ll definitely be back!

Sisar Creek Sanctuary
Such a beautiful nature spot! Wish I’d booked another night so I could spend a whole day by the creek. I’ll definitely be back again!

Petite Retreat; Artist Studio
I adored my stay! Kathleen made me feel so welcome, and the accommodations were beautiful, as well as very comfortable and cozy. Access to the Main Street was so convenient and I really appreciated the helpfulness of the host. I would absolutely stay here again! The decor and garden really made it special as well. 5 Stars!
Family-friendly home rentals with a pool

Pool & view in Sta Rita Hills Wine Country, Lompoc
Lots of room for extra friends/family. Great stove top/easy cleaning up. Clean pool, working laundry room. Amazing outside view! Checks off as a really great spot to stay for a few days. Outside amenities is okay could be better. But overall, the stay was pleasant.

Cabin Sweet Cabin - Views & Privacy! #CabinLife!
Jolie and the cabin were amazing! Great with communication and desired to make sure we had everything we needed, even willing to go above and beyond most other places. My boyfriend and I had a great time!

Serenity Retreat--Modern Mountain Cabin!
We had a wonderful stay, the cabin was spotless, beautiful, and very comfortable. We found everything we needed. The location and views are gorgeous, we loved the deck overlooking the mountains. Would definitely come back!

Vintage 1970s Cabin in Los Padres National Forest
Courtney‘s cabin was incredible. It was like going into a time machine and transporting yourself to a simpler time such a breath of fresh air from modern society with all the future gadgets and gizmos It was a meditative place and was amazing on every level. Courtney‘s communication was some of the best I’ve ever had on Airbnb and I look forward to going back to Pine Mountain soon.

Large Lower Suite in Mountain View Home
I got sick on the way to LA and Stayed with Jennifer almost for week - her hospitality was more than i could ask for. When she went to the town, she asked if i need any groceries or wanna order food - she picked up lunch for me - will recommend her to any one who wants to have cabin experience and piece of mind:)

California central coast 2-bedroom haven
This is such a special place. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer! It’s a perfect central location - close to SLO, Paso Robles, Los Olivos, etc. We loved hearing the chickens in the morning, walking through the garden and enjoying the hot tub/pool amenities. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway, this is the place for you!!

FairView Lavender Estate
Hilary’s home was wonderful. Great location just minutes away from downtown Solvang. The home was well stocked and the gourmet kitchen was wonderful to cook in. The kids enjoyed the pool and I enjoyed the views and coolbreeze on the pool deck. It was super relaxing! We loved the 2 pianos in the home which we enjoyed playing a few tunes on. We did a zip line tour which was only minutes away from the home. Multiple fruit trees and flowers enhanced the manicured property. Our doggy enjoyed the lawn but did pick up ticks on our walk around the neighborhood. We were able to brush them off him. Thankfully he’s on tick and flea prevention. Overall we had a fantastic time and the kids were sad to leave. We could’ve used a few more days! Thank you Hilary for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Majestic Mountain Cabin - private and secluded
Fantastic stay and would definitely stay again! Excellent vinyl selection and a wonderful host. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to un plug and get away
