Montecito Studio w/ Patio
We had an amazing stay here! The house is very cute with a relaxing ambiance. It’s very clean and comfortable. The fridge was well stocked with a variety of drinks, which was a unique and really nice surprise that we appreciated. We absolutely loved being able to make coffee and drink it outside in the patio in the mornings. The landscaping was beautiful and there’s so much to do in the area! We actually got engaged on this trip. Would definitely recommend staying here to our friends/family!!

The Cottage Getaway by the Sea
The views from the cottage were gorgeous and our favorite part was lounging on the deck! We didn’t want to leave, the cottage was well equipped with everything we needed for our short stay. Convenient location as well!

Pine Haus | Lakefront • Kayaks • Hottub • Dogs
Beautiful, quiet, peaceful - a little bit of a drive from most activities, but the drives are just as beautiful. Highly recommend.

Rock Rose Cottage, Cozy & Peaceful
It was a very cozy stay, nestled in a serene area right near the ocean. I really appreciated the attention to detail and the individual pieces of consideration, including the lovely music that played as we entered the cottage. It really set the tone for such a nice and peaceful stay.
Rural 1 Acre Lakefront Location With Private Beach
Paulette was very helpful leaving plenty of instructions and suggestions for the area. The location was well kept and had everything we needed. The only problem was that some of the lights weren’t working or the light bulb was out but that’s an easy fix. Would definitely recommend if your looking for a quieter get away and enjoy being by the water

Studio Oceanview King in Beachfront Apt (207)
Great stay at Marabella! The views were stunning from our room! Located right on the water, walking distance from many shops and restaurants. The patio was nice and grounds were well kept and clean. The beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and outdoor shower was definitely appreciated. It was perfect!

Master Deluxe Suite | Full Kitchen | Room 1
This place was perfect for my family. It was very clean, and we were very pleasantly surprised by how amazing the view was from the room. The large windows had more than an 180 degree view of the ocean. The sunset from our room was beautiful! The kitchen appliances were great and the room was open and spacious. We would live to come back and stay longer next time.

Cosmo Beach: Riverfront Sanctuary
Beautiful home and surroundings. We couldn't have selected a better home for our weekend getaway. The home was comfortable and had everything we needed.

Upscale condo with Rooftop Deck & Ocean View!
Had an amazing experience. The view from this location is incredible. The place was spacious, clean, and felt like home. The host met us at gate and was extremely friendly and helpful and recommended great places for us to do in the area. Just an amazing place to experience!!!!!!!

Casa Del Mar, Spectacular Ocean Views!
My husband Josh and I had an unforgettable time at Cindi’s place in Sea Ranch. The home was even more beautiful than the photos—unique architecture, cozy design, and right on the beach. Every evening we watched the waves crash on the rocks just outside the window. It was peaceful, stunning, and truly magical. Cindi was a fantastic host, super helpful and kind. We’re already dreaming of coming back!

Breathtaking Views-Steps to Sand, Beach Resort
Our stay at Just Beachy totally exceeded our expectations. It was perfection! Lorraine is an incredible host thanks to her responsiveness, kindness, and hospitality. The condo was so well decorated; you could tell Lorraine paid attention to every little detail, down to the paint colour…very serene. The complex itself is truly amazing, we enjoyed many of the amenities on both sides. And then there is the view…WOW! Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves was so relaxing (and the bed is SUPER comfy). I highly recommend this condo and Lorraine! We can’t wait to come back! ❤️

Private Casita Room at Terranea Resort
First and foremost, Anna is an incredible communicator. We greatly appreciate that as we booked last minute and she was able to get us set up. She’s so understanding and quick to help out. The place was clean and just as explained. Awesome stay at an awesome resort. Definitely going to stay at her place again.

Rancho Relaxo / Spacious Detached Guest House
my daughter and I stayed at Susie and Britt's poolhouse for 6 nights when we were in the San Diego area for a wedding. At first we thought we would look for a beach rental but then heard that it can be foggy on the coast during May and June and going 5 miles inland can make a big difference with weather. we looked in Rancho Sante Fe because that we where the wedding venue was located and we really hit the jackpot! Everything is just as described- very relaxing times in the jacuzzi and by the fire pit in the evenings. The travel to the surrounding SanDiego sights was super easy. Highly recommend this rental!!!

Oceanfront Elegant Condo - Remarkable Amenities
Very nice place. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow. If ever in San Diego again, my family will definitely stay here again.

Oceanfront Luxury Villa | Golf Cart + Island Views
Tiffany is an incredible host. She is easy to communicate with and was proactive informing you of what to expect, easy instructions both checking in and out, as well as recommendations. She answered any questions I had in a timely matter to. The golf cart is a great addition as well to easily get to Avalon. Bottom line up front everything was very simple so that my girlfriend and I were able to fully enjoy our stay on the island. The villa was beautiful just like the pictures. It was very clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I highly recommend booking with Tiffany at her villa in Hamilton Cove. Just a heads up if you’re going to eat on the balcony don’t leave any food unattended for a second or the birds will swoop it. They’re watching and waiting for an opportunity. Happened to me lol. Thank you again Tiffany for making our trip so much easier to enjoy.

* - The Leucadia Beach Grotto - * An Encinitas Gem
We had a great time at the Leucadia beach grotto! Beautiful back yard and pool, lots of things to do locally. Jason had some great suggestions for a local restaurant and beach. House was extremely clean. Had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend.

Oceanfront Boho Retreat - Pacific Sunset Views 🌅🌊🐳
We had a wonderful stay in Pacifica! The home was exactly as described—clean, quiet, and very comfortable. The location near the beach was perfect, with stunning cliffside views and the relaxing sound of the waves at night. It was such a peaceful getaway, and we truly wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend!

Amazing Welcoming Unique Ocean Home
A gem of a space, spent 6 relaxing days enjoying the sound of waves, the wind and watching Karl move in and out. Thank you Yeshi for being an amazing host and human being 🙏

Copper Nest beach retreat with stunning views
We selected the home to celebrate a 60th birthday with siblings. It was perfect for our group of five. We walked (and ran) on the beach, did puzzles, made meals together, and spent quality time just hanging out. Kitchen has everything one could need. Plenty of supplies. Clear instructions and expectations. We’d absolutely return.

Guesthouse - prime location next to BEACH!
We had a super time - the house is very clean with generous amenities and lots of towels. Very well Organised and a great location. Lauren our host was very responsive and made recommendations for local places to visit and eat.

On the Ocean with unbelievable views
Ten Stars! Ron and Donna provided us with exactly what we were seeking -an exquisite oasis shaped by comfort, convenience, quality, a quiet ambiance, and the healing that comes with ocean breezes and sounds. Our three nights were perfect. We soaked in the ocean breezes, sounds, sun and birds while also savoring the luxurious setting they created indoors. We will be back!

Forty feet from Pacific Ocean
We absolutely loved, and would recommend Matthew's vacation rental. We have stayed in Oceanside several times for a quick get away and this lovely location is by far our favorite. We hope we will be able to return in the near future. A parking spot is right in front of the property, Matthew's check in and out instructions are clear and easy to follow, the location cannot be beat, with the ocean and private beach just steps away. The interior has everything you could possibly need, it was clean and well stocked. I personally appreciated the binoculars and decaf coffee. It was wonderful to sit outdoors and watch dolphins, seabirds, surfers, dogs happy to be on the beach, and relax to the sound of the waves. There are many great restaurants nearby, and plenty of activities and places to visit in and around town. The best part was the feeling of being in our own little private sanctuary. Thank you to Matthew for being a fantastic host!

Driftwood | Private Coastal Escape w/ Unreal Views
Driftwood cottage was truly a dream. We enjoyed spending our anniversary here so much. We felt very taken care of the whole trip. And the views are absolutely breathtaking. We really enjoyed the kayaks and hot tub! Would definitely come back!!!

Beach House ON Pismo Beach
Beautiful home right in the sand and with in walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Kitchen was stocked with everything needed to fix meals. The view is to die for. My family had an amazing time.
