Hidden Views
David greeted us upon arrival and, after that, we had privacy in the two-story guest house...which is the size of many homes! The mattresses were so comfortable that my wife wants to know where to get one. The views are lovely, plenty of space for the 4 of us and 3 bathrooms! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return again...

Pool & view in Sta Rita Hills Wine Country, Lompoc
Stayed here for a few nights and the house is really wonderful! Had everything we needed and a personal touch.

Island Style Oasis Home- Island in the Sky
Beautiful views. The kids said it was their favorite place they have ever stayed

Spacious Home With Pool and Spa in Thousand Oaks
This place was the perfect spot for our group attending a wedding in Malibu. The Airbnb was well provisioned with anything you could need and comfy beds. Everything was super clean!

Entire Home - A Pool Oasis in Sunny Ventura - Zuni
We had a great time at Agota’s rental. Everything was as described and pictured. Communication was very prompt, which is very appreciated. One thing to point out to future renters: even though it is clearly noted within the description that the pool is heated by solar panels only, it was not clear to us that this means that the pool will not be heated on days when it isn’t sunny (which is obvious, but definitely not something that we thought of and a bit unfortunate). We would def stay here again though and recommend it

Stunning Exclusive Yurt on Large Nature Preserve
This place was absolutely amazing and magical. Definitely above and beyond our expectations. It was very nice, quiet and the nature was incredible. The host was very friendly and responsive and made sure that we were having a great experience. We’re very grateful that she opened up her place for us. Everything was perfect! Would definitely do this again!

Modern Family Farmhouse Pool&Spa, Treehouse, Bocce
Can we go back on vacation?! What a beautiful vacation home to stay and spend our family spring break! The house was wonderful, great location, close enough to LA, Malibu, and other great towns but far enough away that your feel secluded. We never heard a plane or any sirens the whole time we were at the house. One of my favorite spots was sitting in the spa when a warm breeze would drift the smell of lavender, rosemary, blooming wisteria, orange and lemon trees.... The kids enjoyed the pool and living room where we played a lot of cards and board games. There were many hiking paths within 20 min or less locations. Todd was very accommodating, the house was well stocked with essentials and simple touches that made you feel right at home. We will return in the future for sure!

FairView Lavender Estate
Hillary’s place was absolutely beautiful—peaceful, cozy, and surrounded by incredible scenery. There were so many amazing wineries nearby, which made the whole experience even better. We had such a great time and can’t wait to come back again soon!

3809S - Beach Blessing
We had a great stay. We wanted time at the beach and had never spent time at Oxnard or Hollywood Beach. The house and beach were a total treat!

Mile High Getaway in Lake of the Woods
This place was awesome! Peter is great, he showed us around when we arrived and was very responsive to messages. The place was super cool, we especially loved the ping pong table downstairs and the volleyball net outside. It had everything we needed and made for a fun retreat for our club!

Tranquil Ranchito with Topatopa Mountains view
Jennifer’s home in Ojai was clean, comfortable, and very peaceful. We enjoyed waking up the views of the surrounding area each morning. Would recommend to anyone looking to visit Ojai.

Stunning Ocean View Vacation Home - Santa Barbara
Your home met our family’s needs very well. Thanks for your flexibility and responsiveness during our stay. We enjoyed Santa Barbara, and the location of the home made it easy to travel to all the sites and areas that interested us during our stay.

Montecito Hedgerow Cottage /Monthly optional
Cathrine’s little cottage was perfect for a quiet getaway. I kept smiling every time I looked around at the beautiful setting nestled in the quaint gardens with complete privacy. Just minutes from the country mart and other great shopping and restaurants makes it the perfect spot. I’d highly recommend checking it out if you are looking for a perfect spot close to everything in Santa Barbara but serene enough to read a great novel with a tasty cup of coffee.

🌊Silverstrand Beach 3 bd 2b 4 min to sand
Great house in an awesome neighborhood. Had everything you need and was clean. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely Home w/ HotTub. Up to 6+ months stays ok
Judy met us at check in and she was friendly and pleasant to talk too. She stays on site in a separate area of the property. Although she was available by phone at any time that you needed her, she was out of site the whole stay. Check in was very easy as was checkout. The property was in a great neighborhood and was close to downtown Orcutt, where we dined out a lot. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in the area. Great restaurants and wineries.

Los Olivos Wine Country Stunner - Walk to downtown
Perfect weekend getaway in beautiful Los Olivos! About a 10-15 minute walk into town which was super convenient! Gorgeous outdoor space as shown in photos, everyone slept comfortably, espresso machine came in handy, the chickens were a bonus and a pleasant surprise!

The Beach House at Silver Strand, Channel Islands
Great house for our family. All adult children had their own bedrooms, kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed the rooftop patio. Very close to the beach, just 1 minute walk.

Sunny Garden Home near the beach
Marty and Carey's home was a perfect place for our friends' reunion! The home is spacious, clean, comfortable, and with great decor. The kitchen was well-stocked and we loved the openness of it. The couches and beds were very comfortable for lounging and sleeping. The backyard is so beautiful and peaceful, we spent most of our free time out on the patio, and the kids loved the swings. The hot tub was a big hit with everyone, and we enjoyed being so close to the mesa bluffs and the private beach. We can't wait to come back again!

Modern Ranch Style House near Lake Los Carneros
My family had a great stay in this lovely home in Goleta. The space is clean and spacious, with ample parking and a lovely backyard. It was easy to find and access, and it's a short drive to downtown, the beach, etc. We would definitely stay here again!

The perfect retreat - walk to downtown Santa Ynez!
James was incredibly kind and helpful before and during our stay. The home was super spacious, a close walk to town, and we were even able to make s’mores one evening, which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. We enjoyed our stay tremendously and would be delighted to return in the future!

Entire Home Access - Serene Retreat - Ojai Valley
Joel was an exceptional host. He communicated proactively and quickly, allowed for an early check-in and went over and above to make us feel comfortable in his home. From the generous pastries and bread, to heating the pool up extra high with the weather, to allowing us to trim some fruit off of the gorgeous citrus trees in his garden - he made his space our space for the short time we were there. The guest rooms feel very private and removed from the rest of the home. While there were shared spaces, Joel gave us a lot of freedom to make ourselves comfortable in his home. The garden is truly tranquil and nearby Ojai is one of the best towns I know. Thank you to Joel for making our stay a great one!!

Attractive 2800 sq ft 4 Br 3 Ba
My husband and I did a five day stay here and it was well worth it. We wanted to stay somewhere serene while still being able to explore Santa Barbara and Ojai. Santa Barbara is only 15 minutes away and Ojai is about 30 minutes. We bounced around between those two towns and also got to see what Carpinteria was all about. Steven's place is 7 minutes to the Carpinteria Bluffs where heaven meets earth. The locals are friendly and high in consciousness, they are one with the environment and take pride in their role in keeping it safe. The home itself is spacious with great views, the kitchen was fully stocked with the all the cooking essentials. Instacart delivers to this location if you need anything last minute. During the stay you will hear different sounds of farm animals in the distance which I found relaxing. The living room is comfortable with tons of lounge furniture and space. The outdoor decks have plenty of seating and is surrounded by wildlife. If you want peace come here!

Lookout Beach House
Beautiful property and great location. My family had an amazing time and really enjoyed the house!

Heritage House | Los Alamos | Downtown | Eco
Our stay with Jen was amazing! A girlfriend and I decided to do an impromptu overnight staycation in Los Alamos and we couldn’t be happier with the Heritage House. My bestie is a photographer and loved how every square inch was insta-worthy and photoshoot ready. I think my favorite part of the house is the clawfoot tubs - I’m a sucker for a good bathtub and will plans stays around one. The house itself is adorable and has been remodeled with a ton of charm and character, the attention to detail stood out from the second we stepped in the door. Everything was spotless and the beds were super comfy. It is walking distance to all the best local spots, we popped over to Bob’s for breakfast. Overall we couldn’t be happier with the stay and will definitely be back!
