Beach retreat for families and dogs, EV charger!

GraceRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Raymond was the best host I ever had. He was so accommodating with our early check in and offered a late check out which was so kind. Raymond was so responsible to all my questions and requests. Raymond’s house is located at a great location. We can walk to the beach, walk to the restaurants and markets and his house is also located close to the downtown and the train station. My friends and I loved staying at Raymond’s. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean and we loved the neighborhood. We would love to come back.

Montecito 2br Retreat

HeatherRating, 5 stars3 days ago
What a magical getaway! The house is adorable and very well stocked with quality supplies. Our kids (8 and 5) loved exploring the beautiful yard and we all slept soundly. Walking to butterfly beach and the coast village shops was just the best. Can’t wait to return!

Boho Bungalow | Sauna, Cold Plunge, Spa & Tea Bar

VictoriaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Great location, easy access to beaches, downtown. Comfy king sized bed. Take advantage of the fresh eggs, they were delicious. The unit is an extension of a family home but has a private entrance and feels separate. Hot tub, garden and sauna are part of a shared space with the host

Luxurious Studio With Private Entrance

ToniRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a great time staying here. We took the train and David’s place was so close to the station, the beach, State Street, and a bunch of great restaurants and cafes. It was also right by the freeway, but it wasn’t noisy at all. Super peaceful and easy to find. Great for a short stay.

Lovely 2Bedroom Downtown

HaydenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Everything was great - cozy cottage. One thing that could be better is having screens on the windows so you could have them open at night - there were bugs coming in! Location is great, no complaints otherwise.

Casa Valerio Unit 6B-Boutique Suite in Downtown

MargieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our stay in Santa Barbara was very enjoyable. The location of the Airbnb was excellent because of the proximity to State Street and all that it offers. Although the apartment was quite small, it functioned well. The coffee was absolutely delicious and boxed water much appreciated! The bed was soft and the bedding lovely. The apartment is on a relatively busy street but at night it was extremely quiet. I'm usually sensitive to noises at night but for the two nights we were there, I slept extremely well, as did my husband. The cost of the apartment was steep but it seems like every place in Santa Barbara was expensive. I definitely would recommend the apartment if you want to be near State Street.

Entire Corner Studio Apartment in Great Location

OliviaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This was probably the most favorite Airbnb I have booked thus far. Truly the cutest little apartment in Ventura. It was extremely walkable, and I thought the street parking would be difficult, but it was not a problem during our stay. I will say that although the location is convenient, you are right next to the street - so if you are someone who needs earplugs to rest or needs complete silence I recommend bringing some as it can be loud out there in the late hours. This place was exactly as described and was perfect for what we needed to do! Thank you so much David! We plan to visit again!

SantaBarbara'sBest@East Beach

ConradRating, 5 stars1 day ago
We had a perfect romantic weekend in Santa Barbara, and this place made it truly special. The space was beautifully decorated with great style—spacious, full of natural light, cozy, quiet, and incredibly comfortable. It had everything we needed, from thoughtful amenities to a warm, inviting atmosphere. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to East Beach, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. Our host, Jane, was fantastic—responsive, kind, and full of helpful suggestions for local restaurants. She made everything easy from start to finish. We’d absolutely stay here again!

Port Hueneme 2 Bd, 2BA w/ Ocean View Beach Living

JohnRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My wife and I stayed here while I attended a conference 45 minutes away, inland. I’m so glad we stayed where we did because of the views. Not difficult to get around. Grocery store and restaurants are not a far drive away. The place had everything we needed. Older adults, so pretty quiet. You can see and hear the ocean from the condo. Host was quick to respond to any questions.

Gorgeous beach condo with deck steps to the sand

ShamanRating, 5 stars2 months ago
My wife and I spent a weekend at Eileen’s and all I can say is, it was one of the best experiences I’ve had on AirBnB. Eileen was super helpful and responsive, sent clear instructions, the place was exactly what we were hoping it would be, and Carpinteria is a beautiful town, wonderful people. We cannot recommend Eileen’s place strongly enough!

Condo with patio. Walk 1 minute to the beach!

PamRating, 5 stars2 days ago
This is perfect for a couple or a family with 2 small children. The kitchen was well equipped if you want to cook but restaurants are within walking distance. The beach is a block away, as well as a grassy park. Would definitely stay here again!
