Family-friendly holiday rentals in Southern California

the host were great ,communicated well ,this place is a nice place i can't wait to come back its nice clean and in a great location,the place had everything you needed for sure met are exceptions, can't wait to book this again.

Such a cute little spot to truly relax, was exactly as pictured.

This has to be one of the best Airbnb’s I’ve ever stayed in. The house was beautifully designed, had everything you need to cook meals, and gorgeous scenery. I highly recommend staying here - the studio outside was an absolute highlight.

We had a peaceful and cozy stay at this cabin in Big Bear. The space was well-stocked with the basic amenities and even a few extras, and we really appreciated the clear and thoughtful instructions provided by the host. It made everything easy and stress-free. One thing to note: the walkway up to the cabin is definitely a workout. It's a bit of a climb, so I wouldn't recommend it for small children or elderly guests, especially if you're bringing a lot of stuff. Thankfully, we packed light and managed just fine. As with any mountain retreat, you should be okay with a few critters. We found a couple of bees inside when we arrived, but Dena had some tape available to help trap them. There were also spider webs on the outdoor furniture, so be sure to check before sitting down. On our last morning, we noticed quite a few ants in the shower…but again, it's the mountains, and that kind of comes with the territory. Overall we had a great time and it’s a beautiful location!

Our stay was amazing because it was our cup of tea (literally, they had great tea and coffee available). The place has the essentials for a short stay. It is definitely meant for a couple. The space is perfect for a quick getaway. If you are light sleeper, you will need air plugs because the road is still pretty easy to hear for a someone who is easy bothered by noise. Besides that, the location was wonderful. Victoria's restaurant is really close but the road is so busy and cars do not drive slowly even when signs request caution. It is best to drive to it even thought it is walking distance. The scones might need a light dusting in the bedroom, but I only noticed it because it made me sneeze a bit when we opened the windows. The one main event is the king bed. It was the best sleep I have ever had on any get away. I highly recommend the place for anyone willing to be comfy in each other's space. It forces you to enjoy one another's company because of the peaceful space.

Ari’s place is fantastic. I sat out in the patio every morning listening to birds and having coffee. Nice quiet cul de sac. House was exactly as photos represented. Amenities and kitchen and bathrooms were resort level. Great place and I’ll be back! Thanks Ari.

Beautifully landscaped mountain house with rustic charm and an abundance of views and moments. Lynne is also very communicative and attentive. Dog friendly. Overall a delightful stay!

We absolutely loved our stay here!! Greg checked us in and was super helpful and Michelle was great about checking in and even made us a treat. They were there if we needed them but were also great at giving us privacy and letting us enjoy ourselves. Although we were out and about exploring and wine tasting, it would be a great place to hang out at for the day as well with the pool, hot tub, and hang out places around the property. It was a very calming place to just get up make breakfast and chill before getting going on the day. I will definitely be staying here again when we need a place in the area. Couldn’t recommend this spot enough.

This place is the perfect getaway for a few friends to spend the night or the week. The air was on when we walked in and we thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities. There is plenty of seating inside and out, games and books, tea options, and a fireplace making it great for all seasons. You will need sandals to do laundry but even soap was provided. The place was clean and instructions clear, even some cute signs as reminders. I would definitely stay here again!

Diane was an incredible host! Her and the Hidden Passage crew have created such a beautiful and peaceful oasis and made mine and my partner’s anniversary vacation an absolute dream! It truly felt like we were removed from society for a small moment and that’s exactly what we needed. The property was so well managed and kept so pristine! Every staff member we met on site was so kind and extremely helpful! I could not recommend this place enough! Also the pool rocks, we spent every single day in it!

Had a beautiful time. The inside is cute & space well used. The outside is amazing & where we spent most of our time. Our dogs loved roaming around then sunbathing. We had a great time cooking and playing with our daughter outside. Loved being elevated & seeing the ocean every morning.

Good location, clean and functional. I do think the room could be a bit more charming. The decor is quite sterile and it reads more like a hotel room with a kitchenette than an Airbnb which are usually homey. That being said, it was a bargain price and did match the pictures.

I had a wonderful stay peaceful, comfortable, and even better than expected. The space was just as described, if not more charming in person. The host was incredibly responsive and friendly, making everything smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!

Kurt’s cabin is lovely — an amazing hideaway that feels very private, with amazing views of Joshua Tree. At the same time, it’s super conveniently located and whatever you might need - groceries, restaurants, sightseeing - is in driving distance. Kurt is an attentive, friendly, and helpful host. I would have communicated with him more, but everything about my stay was so smooth I didn’t need to! I will definitely be back again. A great place to stay when visiting Joshua Tree.

Thomas was a wonderful host, and was kind enough to leave us a anniversary gift for me and my partner when we stayed. The tree house was beautiful very cozy, definitely give it a look!

Such a beautiful nature spot! Wish I’d booked another night so I could spend a whole day by the creek. I’ll definitely be back again!

This is the 4th time we have stayed here. We love it!! There is a hill of boulders that leaves me breathless every time I look at it. To see this hill with the rare Big Horned Sheep, takes me over the top emotionally. We also love the landscaping with the natural desert in mind. The house is decorated to fit the desert and the most well equipped Airbnb we,’ve ever stayed at. We spent a lot of time out in the patio watching the Chuckwallas, Roadrunners, Quail and Big Horned Sheep. There’s a ton of birds also. When it got warm, we went in the pool. The temperature of the water was perfect. Super refreshing on a hot day.

My boyfriend and I really needed a quiet place for the weekend, and this place was absolutely perfect! It was easy to get to but still felt very private and peaceful. Everything was very clean, we felt right at home and so comfortable. Some of the furniture was handmade, as illustrated in a charming book at the place that showed the story of how he built it. It truly felt like a serene, peaceful home. This was a quality home! The area around is so beautiful, and has a striking view of the sunset and sunrise. Kitchen had the basics, some spices, sugar and coffee, and had a good assortment of kitchen tools, a necessity for us as we were cooking for every meal. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone, and we look forward to staying at another one of Ryan’s places in the future!

So relaxing to stay here! Nice to be away from phone service and close enough to the hot tub. We were sharing the space with another couple in the glass house, with whom we had very minor and lovely interactions. easy to feel a sense of privacy even when sharing the land. Would love to come back and stay longer!

First off I want to say the pictures don’t do the back yard any justice. It’s so beautiful and the perfect get away trip without having to break the bank. Definitely worth every penny We loved it and we will be returning again! P.s. Just make sure you bring some bug spray there is a bunch of mosquitos in the back yard, we didn’t have any so don’t be us lol. 🙌

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!

My friends and I had so much fun here it’s a beautiful property and I think it healed me haha it has everything you could want in a little get away :) would just say the only issue we had was one of the rooms doesn’t have black out curtains so bring sleep eye masks luckily I had one but we will definitely be back loved it !

We had an amazing stay at Nicklas’s place in San Diego! The condo is beautifully renovated and right on the waterfront—waking up to those ocean views was such a treat. The kitchen and bathroom were fully stocked with everything we needed, making our stay super comfortable and convenient. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into making the space feel like a true home away from home. We would absolutely love to stay here again in the future. Highly recommend!

My wife and i truly enjoyed our stay. Venus's place was very peaceful and tranquil.
