Family-friendly holiday rentals in California

Rebecca was an excellent host. Her place was even nicer than the listing: Amazing views, comfy beds, awesome access to trails for hiking and delicious restaurants if you don't feel like cooking.

Beautiful apartment … impeccable, modern, fully stocked. Great coffee and delicious muffins every morning. Loved the town of Sebastopol … great restaurants. Loved Ramen Gaijin.

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.

Magical place. It was a special treat for us, and we are so happy to have stayed here. Very private and quiet, exactly what we were looking for. Would definitely return!

Gorgeous stay in the hills of Ramona. Lisa was very responsive and often proactively reached out to us to resolve any issues. We had a great time

Beautiful location. House was built mostly of wood, which was very appealing. Clean. Hosts were very nice and responsive. Minimum 30 minutes from shopping and restaurants with mostly two-lane winding roads to get to the major highways. The views were beautiful as you drive especially seeing so many animals roaming freely and feeding on grass. The drive can be wearisome. Wifi on the bottom floor was sketchy when I needed to use zoom for business. Also, there were high winds when we were there in mid-May making it feel colder due to wind chill. Overall, I'd give the experience 4.8 out of 5.

Great experience staying here. Very clean, fantastic location and an amazing observation deck just a few steps from the main building. Richard was very helpful and responsive. we are planning to go back again in the winter! thank you so much :)

This aprtment is a great value. You won't find a better ocean view at a lower price. The ocean-facing wall is all glass. On the extended deck you feel as though you're surrounded by the Pacific. Wonderful. We hope to return.

Absolutely incredible stay! I came solo and it was everything I needed to unwind—peaceful, private, and full of charm. The highlight? Showering outdoors with nothing but open sky and the view of cattle grazing nearby. Next level relaxation. It felt surreal and grounding at the same time. The whole setup was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully designed. Morning coffee with the breeze, stargazing at night—it was pure magic. If you’re looking to reset and reconnect with nature, you have to visit this place. It’s an unforgettable escape.

Perfect home away from home in the desert. So close to the park and local finds.

Red Caboose was a warm, inviting and unique place to stay! We appreciate their communication, hospitality, location and foodie advice! This stay is a must on your bucket list!

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

This place is on another level of beauty and privacy. Showed up. Gate was open. The ac was already on. Place was spotless. Ice maker full with ice (huge win!!) Sit on the deck and just take in the best view around. I gotta to hang for a few min at club red. The kayak around the lake was amazing. This is a top notch compound. Incredible the paradise they have built in the middle of nowhere!! Only negative was I had to leave. Thanks Joyce and tony for your hospitality. I will be back!!!

My dogs and I had the best time in this tiny house. The weather was spectacular, sunny days and cloudless nights for star gazing. The house was so peaceful and private. I loved being up in the hills and it was also so convenient to visit friends in Santa Barbara and Carpentaria. My only regret is that I didn’t stay longer. My cup is full! It was the perfect short get away.

We return to Alison's for a good reason: it's a wonderful home, clean, quiet, comfortable, and very close to Lassen National Park. We have stayed in many AirBnBs over the years and Alison's is at the top of our list.

Had a great time staying at Doug's for three nights. The home was clean and beautiful. Spent time in Death Valley, Lone Pine Lake via the Mount Whitney Trail, and Cerro Gordo. Great location near lots of outdoor attractions and the town of Lone Pine. Would come back again and recommend to friends.

Absolutely beautiful home. Was just as advertised - the pool and hot tub were amazing in an incredibly peaceful setting. Loved the views and the quiet setting. A great place to recharge. I already want to go back!

What a great place! We enjoyed our stay there with our 1 year old kid, and everything was great. The place was super clean! I wanna know how he keeps the bathroom glass so clean.. Walter was so nice and easy to communicate. I definitely recommend this beautiful place. Thank you!

We loved our time here! Not only were Darren and Laura wonderful hosts and communicators, but the property genuinely exceeded our expectations, the Airbnb was MORE beautiful in person than in the photos (hard to believe, I know), and the location of the neighborhood was incredible — high up on a hill of a beautiful and safe neighborhood. 😍 Only recommendation for future guests — book one extra day!! There is so much to do and such little time! We would’ve loved to have one more day to enjoy the Airbnb a little more. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

We had an incredible stay at this Joshua Tree retreat. The full-length glass windows offered breathtaking views of the rocky desert landscape—sunrises and sunsets were unforgettable. The pool was perfect for cooling off in the summer heat, and the entire space felt serene and private. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and the bathrooms were spotless and thoughtfully stocked with soap, shampoo, and conditioner. Beds were very comfortable, and the home was peaceful and quiet, yet just a 7-minute drive to the 29 Palms Highway. Highly recommended—would definitely stay here again!

Description and pictures all matched. It was very private despite the main house being on-site. The hot tub was excellent and was so peaceful among pine and palm trees. Polina met us and showed us around. We did not use the pool but it was available. Bed, pillows and linens comfortable. We had very late nights due to our plans and felt easy and safe returning later at night. Parking on-site was appreciated.

The place felt lived in. Everything was clean and well stocked. Very accommodating and responsive hosts, especially grateful of thinking of things for our daughter to do after she got cold feet at riding a pony. There was enough to do for two adults, a toddler and a dog across two days between the pools, animals, bbq, bonfire and short hikes. The fresh eggs tasted amazing and we were always happy to run into and chat with Joe when he came by to take care of the animals.

Such an amazing place to stay! Stocked with everything you need and then some! Thanks Sue! The hummingbirds were a bonus too!

We were so pleased to be able to stay at Elizabeth's once again. It is without a doubt the prettiest place to stay. The location is great for eating out, shopping or just walking around the harbor. Elizabeth's place is always set up and squeaky clean. It's just darling and we will return again just as soon as we can.
