Ideal Group Getaway: Private 4BR, Pool, Spa, views
Mariah and James are incredible hosts and would 10/10 recommend them to anyone. James really went the extra mile to make sure we had a great stay.

Yosemite Hotspot's Waterfall
Our group of 4 families stayed at both house A and B for 5 nights. It’s convenient to have 2 houses right next to each other with 2 fully stocked kitchens (all kinds of cooking tools and appliances you’ll need) to cook for a very large family. Rusty and Renae’s houses are less than 20 minutes from Bass Lake and 30 minutes to the entrance of Yosemite Park. It’s also conveniently located less then 5 minutes to grocery stores and gas stations. All bed linens and towels were very clean. The kids especially like the arcade games and board games. The hosts were flexible and tried to accommodate our needs as much as possible. Our whole extended family really enjoyed staying at Rusty and Renae’s homes.

Luna Vista - Joshua Tree Highlands Nature Retreat
A Magical Desert Escape – Luna Vista is Perfection! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our recent stay at Cindy's stunning Luna Vista in Joshua Tree was nothing short of magical. Nestled under the stars and the glowing moon, this home offered the most tranquil and soul-refreshing experience our family has ever had. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty of the home—perched like a castle on a hill, with breathtaking views in every direction. The house itself was immaculate: fully stocked, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully designed to make you feel right at home (or better!). Every detail was perfect—from the cozy linens to the well-equipped kitchen and outdoor spaces that felt tailor-made for relaxation and stargazing. Cindy was an absolutely exceptional host—warm, responsive, and genuinely committed to making our stay unforgettable. Her attention to detail and hospitality set a new standard.

"The Carriage House" Upper Unit
Located in a great neighborhood, within walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, bars and shopping. Also close to downtown and the airport. Plenty of on street parking. Owners were communicative and responsive.

Modern Bay Park Home Views and Spa
Very safe and quiet neighborhood easy access to freeway and easy traffic flow. The house is as shown in the photos. Outside back area is wonderful. Easy communications, Bruce always addressed texts in a timely manner. Very easy check out - just drop keys in mailbox.

Walk to town! Redwood Studio cozy retreat for two
Redwood House is one of our favorites so far... for us coming from So. Utah desert Redwood House and the setting and surrounding areas was paradise for us. We met Kathleen on her way out to feed the chickens super sweet lady and very knowledgeable of the area. We sat outside each morning and evening on the porch with this Big Redwood tree as our shade great way to begin and end the day. So much to do in this area, float the Russian River, Redwood Parks to explore these giants, the ocean 25 minutes away, Santa Rosa 25 minutes etc.. Absolutely recommend this Host and Redwood House!!! Thank You, Pat and Kara

The Enchanted Manor-Private Oasis
Context: We stayed at the Enchanted Manor for the July 4th Long weekend. We went in for a family wedding. The Guests were Myself, my mother, and my sister all sharing the house. The place is excellent, great pool, and accommodations, and is visually stunning, my mom was ecstatic about how great of a place it was. The place was clean, and as advertised. Georgia (the Hostess) lives on the premises, but you'll only see if you want to. the Property is divided into effectively a semi-attached house. However, we wanted to see her, and my mom and Georgia seemed to quickly develop a friendship. The backyard is fantastic, we had some family over to swim over the weekend and it went over well with everyone. Street parking was easy for us, and we didn't have any issues. Overall, great place, a great hostess, and overall quite a nice experience. If you're thinking of staying there and are reading this: You're in great hands If you're Georgia, and you're reading this: Thanks for a nic

Family Reunion, blocks from beach
Everything we expected and more. Originally I was worried to book because all the positive reviews had been posted years prior. We stayed for a week June of 2023 and it’s wonderful. Clean, good location, everything you need. Will stay again if we’re in the area.

Close to Disneyland| 5BD/3BA|King Bed|Disney+Hulu+
Loved staying at Trinh's place! Great location! Loved it so much we are booking a year in advance for our team again. We went to LA for an Expo and it was close enough to Anaheim that it didn't feel like I was driving for hours each day! The kitchen setup is my dream. 5 rooms with proper beds and the master bedroom was really nice with it's own bathroom. 5 minutes from any shops. All good things to say about this airbnb. Thanks again Trinh for a lovely stay. ~Govinda

Charming Upstairs Apartment Near Yosemite/BassLake
Ann's place is located in the heart of town. Great info and directions from Ann made it easy to access the property. Super cute, clean, and fully functional. Comfortable beds along with quiet nights makes this a great place for a peaceful night of sleep!

Vacation home in Point Loma - Close to everything!
My boyfriend, friend and I stayed in Jackie’s home this weekend and it was perfect for our group. The Airbnb is in a very safe location located about 10 mins from the airport and right next to a Ralph’s. We were visiting from out of town to run in the Rock n Roll half marathon so the hot tub was a huge bonus for us. We also appreciated the washer/dryer. Jackie provided all necessary instructions to provide for a seamless check in/check out and was quick to respond to any messages sent. I 100% would recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting the San Diego area

Enchanted Seclusion IN Sequoia Forest by River!
Carolyn’s place is an incredible location! I m always so grateful for the amazing places we get to go to through Airbnb! My family loved swimming in the river and I loved the privacy and the nature! We all had an amazing time!

Ranch Property on 2 acres!
Luis was a wonderful host! He was able to take a call during my trip when we wanted to check-in to see if there was a blender available. The house was very clean and spacious for the number of people we had during our stay. I would highly recommend this AirBNB as a nice quiet location 30 min drive outside of Palm Springs and hopefully one day will be back!

Bleu Lollipop: serene designer home, walk to beach
Overall the place was great. The only suggestion is a better couch. The couch was uncomfortable, could not relax on it.

A Dream by the Sea
This home was absolutely stunning. We really enjoyed everything and the location on the Mesa was great.

Seaflower Cove: Spacious 4bd waterfront retreat
Wow! The view from this house was spectacular. We spent the bulk of time in the dining room and living room so we always enjoyed the sun and sea views. The place was clean and just like the photos. This house was big enough for 8+small child, but only wish was that there be another bathroom for us all. Overall we loved visiting Gualala and Sea Ranch while staying at this house, which was perfect for us.

Little Black Cabin-2 Bd-1 Ba*Pinecrest*Dodgeridge*
We greatly enjoyed our stay at Mary’s charming and stylish cabin in Long Barn. If you don’t know the area, Long Barn is a great location to stay if you’re planning on visiting Pinecrest Lake, Strawberry, and Dodge Ridge (about 20 minutes up the mountain). It’s also convenient to Twain Harte, Sonora, and Columbia. The house has a great fenced yard and front porch. And it’s very cozy, with a wood burning stove, mattress warmers, and piles and piles of blankets. The hot cocoa was also a nice touch. It also had perhaps the best stocked kitchen of any Airbnb I’ve stayed in. I highly recommend Mary’s place for a trip to the Sierras!

Cayucos Beach Getaway w/ Ocean Views!
centrally located very close to Morro bay, Hearst castle, Pismo Beach. check-in was super easy and the house was as described.

Tito's Getaway/Desert Princess Palm Springs Resort
Wonderful experience! My family spent three nights there and it really felt like a home away from home. The house is located in a private golf club, which offers a peaceful environment and beautiful views. Larry is very responsive. The house is kept clean and tidy, but also cozy. We really enjoyed the stay and felt like being in our own home!

Lloyd's Lookout
Perfect location for hiking and kayaking. Easy to get to town. Loved it.

The SkyVilla Penthouse
The place was amazing. Beautiful view and overall great. Would highly recommend to stay at this breathtaking place

Tariff Discount: Romantic Retreat w/ Spa
Very remote and beautiful home in the middle of the forest. Love the property and house aesthetics. Hot tub is private and a lot of entertaining space. Only 1 bathroom but very nice. Within 10 minutes of great food and drink and Wineries.

Saltwater POOL FUN HOUSE with vineyard views
Gorgeous and peaceful property! The hosts were very chill which is always nice. The pool was very nice and clean and we enjoyed the hot tub. A note to bring mosquito repellant for the evenings! Our 2 year old found plenty to keep her busy on the property :)
