Updated Mountain Home Clawfoot Tub Near Waterfalls
Anna Marie’s airbnb was a pleasure to stay in. It is very comfortable and peaceful. Neighbors are friendly and quiet. The house is split into two airbnbs with separate entrances, so we did not have access to the backyard but that was fine because we were mostly out and about. There was a guest staying below that we did not hear at all, and only noticed when we met her outside as she was checking out. The house was very clean, the bed comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The AC worked well and quickly. I would definitely book again for a future stay.

Luxury Beach View Apartment
Easy checkin, comfortable bed, and amazing views. Couldn’t have asked for more!

Exclusive Lakeridge studio, top amenities & trails
Terrific place! Very comfortable and in a fantastic location. Talitha and Allen are outstanding hosts.

Lighthouse Shores North
Great option close to the beach access and airport. Home had nice amenities, was clean and owners made everything clear and easy. Loved the coffee machine! I didn’t spent too much time at the house as I was working but the stay was great and house was well taken care of, comfy bed and well decorated. Lots of labels made things easy to find. They even have dog biscuits for the neighbors dogs. So cute! Thank you.

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.

Oceanfront studio with amazing views
It was beautiful, would def stay there again

30StepsToBeach-EBikes+Surfboards
Evan and David were bother very helpful and responsive to my questions. The spot was nice and convenient walk to the beach. Enjoyed the stay and would book again in the future.

Oceanfront Home in Pacifica, CA
Airy, comfortable and immaculate place. Watched surfers, seals, whales and birds everyday.

Beautiful Ocean View Cabin and Hot Tub!
Seth is an amazing host. Responds are timely and helpful. The house is clean and new. High end appliances and furniture. The kitchen is especially impressive, and yes the knifes are sharp! We saw fox and deer during our stay and enjoyed the wonderful view. Thank you for sharing this great place.

Argonautica: Oceanfront Sea Ranch Escape
We had such a wonderful and relaxing time at Jason’s house. The views were amazing and the location is the best we’ve stayed in at Sea Ranch. The path to the bluff trail was right next to the house and just a short walk you get to amazing tide pools (my daughter and I woke up early to make it at low tide!) and really the best pacific coast views. Jason’s house was immaculate and we really appreciated how complete the kitchen was!! And the blue bottle and intelligentsia coffee beans were a great treat. The hot tub was also great to use after swimming in the rec center. Thank you Jason!!

Dream View Lake House
Such a beautiful place to stay. Absolutely better than expected. All amenities that anyone would need. Ken is a wonderful host, made sure that we were happy there. A wonderful place to spend our 44th wedding anniversary. And Father's day. My hubby caught 12 fish off shore. Highly recommend, we'll be back. The best place ever for relaxation. So clean and comfortable. Ken is 5 star host. Beautiful property. 6 deers last night and a buck this morning...who could ask for more. Thank you.

Tomales Bay: Tranquility, Bay Views, Kayaks &
BayMod was my favorite place I have ever stayed (which is saying something as I travel a lot!). The location, amenities, cleanliness, organization of everything was spectacular! I did not want to leave! We loved sitting on the patio looking at the bay. We also really enjoyed the hottub! Truly a magical place to stay! Debra is also exceptionally nice! Can't recommend highly enough!

Pacific Gem - Jewel of the Bluff
Cindy’s coastal beach home is absolutely DREAMY!!! Peaceful and Tranquil ~ surrounded by nature, hummingbirds, sea life… and everything lovely. This was our 2nd time in this stunning home. We highly recommend staying here as you will want to return again and again… just like US!!!

River Retreat near SNP, Firepit-BBQ-2 Decks-7acres
The walk to the river is short but not very close. Although it is very private and pristine. Place is clean and host is very responsive and shared all instructions well in advance.

Private Coastal Home with hot tub and ocean views!
Lisa’s place is fabulous and the view is spectacular! The home itself is clean, cozy and modern. The hot tub, the fire pit, and the beautiful outdoor spaces are amazing amenities. Be sure to check out the trail to Sue-Meg State Park at the back of property. You will need a car to get around, but it’s a short drive to the Redwood National & State Parks. Don’t hesitate to book!

One of a kind full River and Ocean view!
Wonderful condo nestled in the Pajaro Dunes Resort. We traveled with two elementary aged kids and they had a fantastic time. A great family getaway. We brought our own groceries and there was plenty of amenities in the kitchen for eating in every meal. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach and beautiful views from the inside as well. We appreciated having the beach chairs & tennis items. The resort recreation area was a lot of fun and we spent several hours there. Comfortable beds and upgraded furnishings. Overall, a fantastic experience and we can’t wait to return again someday.

Your Mammoth Home Away From Home
We loved staying at this location very close to the mountain and restaurants. Super clean and very cozy! Ivana was so kind to turn the heater on prior to our arrival since we got in late. Since we came towards the end of the season, the local lifts were closed but driving up to the mountain and parking was easy. We will def stay at this location again next season

Mammoth resort condo ,Pristine location, Views,

2B/2B Pajaro Dunes with Dunes and Ocean View
Everything was just as described - kitchen was well stocked and had the staples which I appreciated - plenty of coffee too! Beach location was wonderful - 5 out of 5!

Breathtaking Views on Riverwalk w/ Parking Options
Great place and located in the center of it all.

OCEAN Views and Steps from the BEACH, New & Modern
We had a wonderful stay in Aptos! Hosts were very helpful, responsive, and flexible. You can tell they take great care of the house and think of all the details and amenities a visitor might need. Although we didn’t use the kitchen and bbq, everything you might need is there. The beds were very comfortable as well. The view is breathtaking, we even saw whales! It’s the perfect location to local restaurants, coffee spots, and grocery stores. Very close to Santa Cruz without the hustle and bustle. My family would definitely recommend and stay here again.

A Total "Distanced" Coastal Experience!
We’ve stayed at Pajaro Dunes before, but it’s been decades ago. Marc’s place was perfectly situated for privacy and views and was very clean and well appointed. The peacefulness and serenity were exactly what we were looking for. The beachy feel of the furnishings was charming and the unit included all that we needed including an upgraded and well furnished kitchen, a gas fireplace, a comfortable, king size bed and other essentials like extra blankets and a Kuerig coffee maker. Our only difficulty was when inadvertently trying to use the TV remote to change channels…Don’t Do That, Use the cable remote like it says in the instructions. Spent a thoroughly enjoyable four days here with side trips to Monterey and Carmel. Perfect home base for dining out and exploring the coast, and an excellent, proactive host.

Lake Tahoe Retreat - Creekside, Walk to Beach
Me and my family loved and enjoy this house. Especially the patio areas is beautiful. Right next to the water So peaceful The House has everything you need, and the beds are comfortable.
