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!!

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.

Oceanfront Penthouse with Private Deck & Grill
Tamaras listing was exactly like her pictures for a first timer In san diego the location was so beautiful and peaceful right off the beach exactly what I needed for a mini vacation I loved that it had its own little cozy balcony, and rooftop grill/ fire pit overlooking the view of imperial Beach there was so much to do in walking distance you couldn't beat the price for this place would definitely recommend and the host was very helpful and accommodating to any questions we had no matter the time if day thank you for making my stay worth it !

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.

Beach House 2 King Suites+Sleeper, Steps to Sand
Loved the location on the peninsula. We were able to walk to the beach, to restaurants and really enjoyed being able to use the rooftop deck. Beds were super comfortable and the place was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. It was very helpful also to have the garage for our car and e-bikes since parking is such a challenge in that area. Appreciated our host being available for any questions on arrival and throughout our stay. Hope to visit again!

❤️Pebble Palace! OCEANFRONT! HOT TUB! WOW VIEWS!❤️
What an amazing property! It’s easily one of the most gorgeous homes I have stayed. I saw the photos and came in with high expectations but the view is even better in person. The rooms are spacious, clean and the theme is so cute. It’s so walkable in the community and so many good spots from the beach, short trail down the block, and a longer trail to the lighthouse. It’s 10mins from Mendocino and 10mins to fort Bragg. Super convenient. It’s so comfy of a place, I almost didn’t want to leave and just stay back and enjoy the view. I took advantage of the backyard and made a fire- made s’mores and hotdog. Made wonderful memories here.

Navarro Property - hot tub | beach | dog friendly
Absolutely stunning property, I could stare at that view for the rest of my life. The main home is gorgeous — still full of it's original details with renovated bathrooms which make it feel completely clean and fresh (a challenge with some of the old wooden cabins in the area). We also loved having two seperate buildings — great for people who are light sleepers or want to sleep in for longer in the morning. I would love to come back here someday, it's truly magical.

Design & Style with White Water View
Our second stay, and just as wonderful as last time. The views are unbeatable, and the ability to walk to the lodge is an amazing benefit (I loved being able to grab a coffee there in the morning, or knowing I could have a few drinks and walk home!). Beds were comfy. To note, the blinds in the rooms aren’t blackout so the mornings are bright — but ideally you’re up then anyways to enjoy the gorgeous views!

Honeymoon Cove Catalina Ocean view with golf cart
Very amazing experience with these house. And immaculately clean property. Felt safe. Great location and great view. Would definitely stay again.

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
"Just Beachy" is a fantastic, absolutely clean accommodation with an exceptional location right on the beach. Everything you need is there...and more. Contact with Lorraine was always "just in time" and provided all the necessary information, and the digital guide also contains everything you need about the entire complex. "Just Beachy" is highly recommended without exception! Thank you, Lorraine, and best regards, Annika & Noël

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.

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!

Magical & Romantic Beachfront Home at Pajaro Dunes
We really enjoyed our stay at Jo‘s fabulous place! The view was just awesome! The master bedroom has a fantastic view to the ocean. The kitchen is really good equipped and the whole flat was very clean. Near the flat was even a pickleball court and Jo had rackets to use which was awesome! Jo was very reachable and obliging. We would love to come back in the future!

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 🙏

Sea Mist Cottage | Coastal Charm w/ Stunning Views
Great place and location. The hot tub with a view of the water and the stars is everything. We have stayed here before. It is a favorite. Unfortunately, a work crisis interrupted our stay, but we will be back. The local restaurant Tony’s Seafood was apparently bought by Hog Island and the oysters and the clam chowder are to die for. Rachel was our server and couldn’t have been nicer. I recommend purchasing groceries and libations in San Rafael or elsewhere before you get there. Enjoy.

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!

Mount Tamalpais View — the Heart of Marin County
My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary, and you cannot beat the view. We spent a couple evenings on the patio watching the sunset on Mount Tam. It was breathtaking. The space was clean, comfortable, and pretty quiet, so if you're looking for something that feels serene and peaceful, this is it. Shanna was easy to communicate with and was extremely kind. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to stay in Marin County. Super close to everything!

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.

Luxury Ocean Front & Harbor View Home
The place was beautiful and everything was very smooth for our short stay, don’t have anything bad to say. It was lovely
