Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Southern California

This is my second time staying at the Hi Desert House and it’s a total dream. Everything you need for a true getaway, nothing you don’t, thoughtful design touches everywhere you look. Jenna and Michael have created something beautiful here.

I had an incredible stay at this private, serene Airbnb in Joshua Tree. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at peace. The property is tucked away in a quiet, secluded spot that made it feel like my own personal desert retreat. Surrounded by stunning natural beauty and endless sky, it was the perfect place to unwind and recharge. The home itself was beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed with cozy, minimalist decor that complemented the desert landscape. Mornings spent sipping coffee on the patio while listening to the sounds of nature were pure magic. At night, the stargazing was unreal – no city lights, just a blanket of stars and total silence. Everything about the space encouraged relaxation, from the comfortable bed to the little touches like a well-stocked kitchen and a peaceful outdoor seating area. Whether you're looking to disconnect and meditate, explore Joshua Tree National Park, or simply enjoy some quiet time, this place is a dream.

This ABB was exactly what we needed and a few bonuses including a hair dryer, curling iron, snacks, a bottle of wine, coffee and more! The host was responsive when I had questions before our stay. Would definitely reccommend this place while in the Temecula area.

We had the most peaceful and relaxing stay at this beautiful farm cabin. Tucked away in nature, it was the perfect break from the noise and busyness of everyday life. The cabin itself was spacious, clean, and had all the basic utensils we needed for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was warm and inviting—such a treat after a day outdoors! One of the biggest highlights was meeting Susan, the farm manager. She is truly a kind and generous soul, and we learned so much from her about the rescued horses and pigs. Her love and care for the animals is inspiring, and her warm, friendly nature made us feel so welcome. Our kids had an amazing time riding the horses—it was an unforgettable experience for them. We highly recommend taking advantage of the horse lessons while you’re there! We would absolutely love to come back. If you’re looking for peace, quiet, and a meaningful connection to nature, this is the place to be.

Obsessed with this place! The house is impeccable, the landscaping is insane, and view is priceless. Will be back for sure. Was a great relaxing weekend jaunt from Los Angeles and caught a show at Pappy + Harriets. Highly recommended!

This house and hosts were absolutely amazing. The cleanliness of the home and the attention to detail went far beyond our expectations. Will definitely be rebooking!

Nicest air bnb we have stayed in when it comes to the antelope valley! We highly recommend this place if you need somewhere to stay with a great view and plenty of privacy. Garri was very helpful as well.

Had such a fun time, looked exactly like the pictures! Would love to visit again.

The place is great. We felt very comfortable here. Terry is very accommodating.

this is our third time staying at elizabeth’s place and we’ll definitely be back a fourth time! the airbnb itself is lovely, absolutely a great place to rest and relax. the kitchen and bathroom are fully stocked-(which is completely unnecessary but very appreciated) and elizabeth herself is a delight. the airbnb is a very short walk from downtown, and the walk is gorgeous. can’t recommend this spot highly enough.

Great location and perfect room for two. Had all the amenities we needed. We were only here for one night, therefore not able to enjoy everything the area had to offer. Will definitely try to stay again!

Excellent Stay for Special Occasion! We had a wonderful time staying at this charming apartment during our niece's graduation in Long Beach. The location couldn't have been better - everything we needed was within easy reach, making our trip so much more convenient. The host really went above and beyond with thoughtful touches that made our stay special. The apartment came well-stocked with extra linens, a record player that added great ambiance, and a fully equipped kitchen that had everything we needed. The cozy atmosphere made it feel like a home away from home. Perfect spot for anyone visiting Long Beach - we'd definitely stay here again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Had such a wonderful time here, though it was definitely too short! It has everything you need to have a relaxing and fun stay. I loved that I was able to bring my cat with me. Everything is made so simple with all the clear information there’s nothing to stress about!

We had such a restful stay at Don's Casita! Very welcoming with all the snacks! Very close to wonderful restaurants. It was all perfect!

Great place and such a nice host! Allowed me to check in early and check out a little later. I would definitely be booking with in the future!

Great stay! It was so cozy and the indoor fire pit was lovely! One of the most comfortable beds I’ve had in an airbnb

This unit within Hamilton Cove has been our best vacation yet. The views from the balcony were stunning. The entire unit felt clean and was very spacious for me and my now wife. The golf kart was a plus - it was a short 5-8 minute ride into downtown. Hosts were responsive. Definitely will be coming back to stay here again!!

This place was definitely worth it, walking distance to the beach and the pool made it a favorite for us. Paul provided lots of fun beach accessories for us to use and the condo was clean and had what you needed. The patio is nice to have breakfast on and though the sliding door was really hard to open/close Paul said they were expecting a new one. It was so nice to have a refreshing outdoor space but just a bummer that due to the landscaping project it was a lil bit loud during the daytime when coming back to recoup but that’s kinda out of anyone’s control. Overall we enjoyed our time and would stay again in the future.

This place was perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway. Britta has thought of everything you could possibly need and more! The grounds were very well maintained and it was quiet. The pool was perfect temperature and we often had it to ourselves. I highly recommend this place and hope to return.

This place was absolutely beautiful with an amazing view of the water! Beach access was also great to have very close by! It was great being able to fall asleep with the sound of the waves! Amazing air bnb to stay at!

Location is Stunning! It’s a gated community and has a beautiful scenery of the mountains. Everything in this community is so clean and well kept. Our hosts are amazing! They are very nice and so quick to respond. It made the whole trip so easy and enjoyable. Great place to stay if you are a solo traveler or in a couple. Left feeling relaxed

Only recommendation Let people know cant get in till 4 exactly. Got there at 3.57. Combinations did not work until 4. Everything else great

Our second stay here was Wonderful! So close to the beach and downtown Oceanside! Also, a fully stocked garage full of bikes, water toys and everything you could ever need.

Tiffany is an incredible host. She is easy to communicate with and was proactive informing you of what to expect, easy instructions both checking in and out, as well as recommendations. She answered any questions I had in a timely matter to. The golf cart is a great addition as well to easily get to Avalon. Bottom line up front everything was very simple so that my girlfriend and I were able to fully enjoy our stay on the island. The villa was beautiful just like the pictures. It was very clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I highly recommend booking with Tiffany at her villa in Hamilton Cove. Just a heads up if you’re going to eat on the balcony don’t leave any food unattended for a second or the birds will swoop it. They’re watching and waiting for an opportunity. Happened to me lol. Thank you again Tiffany for making our trip so much easier to enjoy.
