We had an amazing time, such a beautiful and spacious home. Thank you for hosting my family and I :)

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
Catie's place was really clean and had everything you needed to have a good stay. So many interesting items to look at, and I feel like I need another stay to see everything. Lots to do on the outside property and plenty of games on the inside. The kitchen was WELL stocked and the beds comfortable. The common rooms are big with lots of places to sit. Close to great hiking areas and town. Book it you will love it!

Casita Solstice
Overall an incredible experience! Very clean. Very comfortable. Check in was a breeze. Good communication. The view is insane. Pictures don’t do it justice. A well needed relaxing getaway in nature away from the city. Highly recommend.

Malibu Architectural - Sea and Sky
Sarah and her husband were fantastic hosts ! super responsive . My boyfriend and I wanted to get away and it was exactly what we wanted. the views were spectacular. If you're looking to get away this Is the perfect private getaway . The location makes you feel like you actually left California and into a private beach-jungle hide out. Everything inside is contemporary and the best part is the beds are amazing ! Will definitely be returning !

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.

Beach Bungalow on the Mesa
We had a wonderful stay at Aldo’s place! The space was exactly as advertised—spotlessly clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up. Aldo was an incredibly responsive and kind host, taking the time to show us how the TV worked and making sure we had everything we needed. The location is fantastic—so close to Santa Barbara and the cliff walk, yet still peaceful and private. Having a dedicated parking spot was a huge plus as well. Truly a lovely experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!

House with Private Park by Beach - Zipline PetsOK
The unique layout worked for our group (2 bedrooms (one is a walk-through) are separated from the rest of the house). Beautiful backyard and deck. Super quiet and peaceful. You need to descend a full flight of outdoor stairs to get to the main house and deck. Lovely outdoor spaces in a super convenient location.

Waterview from your Private Patio + Dogs Welcome!
We loved absolutely everything about our stay at the Lost Shaker of Salt airbnb. The place was immaculate when we arrived and the layout was ideal for us, plenty of space for 3 adults and 2 dogs. The yard was set up nicely with chairs, lights, umbrella and firepit and view of the water. We loved walking along the beach with our dogs and the town has lots of restaurants with dog friendly patios. We would definitely stay here again.

Camp Cottonwood
We loved staying at Camp Cottonwood — from the charming design to the lovely garden, to the very convenient proximity to town (specifically Bells) it was a great place to stay for the long weekend. Look forward to staying here again on a future visit to Los Alamos!

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

Hummingbird Cozy Cottage, Garden, Treehouse, Views
Hummingbird Cottage is adorable. The bed was so comfortable and the sound of the fountain was soothing. The house is very small, so not suited to someone really tall. Our daughter stayed in the treehouse and loved it. The location was great for catching the boat to the Channel Islands.

Large Remodeled Home Close to Beach/UCSB
The house was beautiful and in a peaceful place. I appreciated how big the place was for my group of friends and I.

Your Own Private Refuge on 10 Acres in Santa Ynez
Jeanne’s cottage was an excellent place for our little group of 3 and 2 dogs, a quick drive to SY and perfectly located for road biking. There is so much wonderful space to wander on the grounds and perfect lawn for dogs to romp around. The cottage is thoughtfully furnished and the kitchen is well stocked. Jeanne and her husband were so nice and made us feel right at home. Without question one of the most dog friendly Airbnb I’ve ever stayed!

Cul-de-Sac Family Retreat - A/C & FirePit - 5*
We enjoyed a quiet weekend stay. The 3 bedroom home was comfortable for 5 adults with nice beds and spacious sitting areas. There were plenty of towels and a lovely yard. The home has many windows and lots of natural light, so if you are bothered by sunlight in the morning, bring eyeshades to help with sleeping late. Overall, our stay was wonderful, and the owner was available to answer any of our questions.
Family-friendly home rentals with a pool

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!

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.

Serenity Retreat--Modern Mountain Cabin!
Had a absolute wonderful stay! Stayed with my partner and 6 month old. It was warm out but we stayed nice and cool in the home and the walk down to the village was great! Our little one also swam in the pool for the first time! The home and surrounding areas were beautiful and we definitely soaked in the beauty of nature in comfort. Extremely grateful for the stay and looking forward to next time!

Island Style Oasis Home- Island in the Sky
This house is the perfect secluded getaway. It has an amazing pool and jacuzzi that you never want to leave with a spectacular view. It is hands down the most unique home I’ve ever been to. We loved interacting with the emu’s and there is the sweetest little cat that roams around the property. There are tons of lights switches everywhere that would at first seem overwhelming but everything is labeled very clearly making all navigation through the house a breeze. We would love to book this Airbnb again in the future.

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:)

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.

FairView Lavender Estate
We were in town for a wedding for the weekend and this spot was perfect for us. We are a family of 5, we had a ton of space to relax in. The kitchen was stocked with coffee and water in the refrigerator which is really nice. There was also a delicious party to enjoy with our coffee the next morning. The property was absolutely beautiful as well. Highly recommend.

Cois Dara (Cush Dara) Under the Oak Permit
Julie’s place is amazing!!! Better than expected. College friend reunion. We really enjoyed the pool and the yoga studio and outdoor area. Julie is a delight!
