Modernist Suite: HOT TUB/View/Firepit/Patio + More
Great spot for a little getaway in Ojai. Tranquil setting among the beatiful trees. Patio area was really nice for relaxing by the firepit and in the hot tub. Simple little kitchen and BBQ had everything we needed. 5 mintue drive to the shops and restaurants of Ojai. Thoughtfully decorated creating the feel of a well curated space. Attentive and friendly host. Perfect little retreat for a one night anniversary getway with my wife.

Big Rock Retreat Eco-Friendly Home
Our families favorite getaway! Love being able to hike without getting in the car. Such a peaceful spot. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Walk to State St & Beach, jacuzzi, parking, bright
Excellent location. Very comfortable home. We were able to relax and walk to many places.

Remodeled home steps from the Beach - 6 person hot
Nice quiet place at a great location with very comfortable beds. And so close to the beach!

Ojai Valley East End Chic Ranch with Views, 2 bdrm
Our stay at this magical home brought endless surprises. The land is full with citrus and native trees, surrounded by chirping birds. The overlooking view of the cliffs and tres from the front porch chairs brought so many happy signs of life, huge hawks, light from the sun, and glowing stars. The home itself is filled with handmade tapestries, colorful paintings, and unusual treasures that invite relaxation and play. The beds and bedding were super cozy and allowed for deep rest. The kitchen is appointed with everything you would need to cook, though the restaurants in Ojai were a short drive away. I made lasting memories in this unusual and welcoming home! And, Catie was beyond helpful. She worked with us our requests in ways that showed how much she genuinely cares about her guests. I felt so taken care of! We will return again to this place that inspired us to reconnect with ourselves and Mother Earth

Santa Ynez Wine Country Escape
I cannot say enough great things about both the home and the information and responsiveness that Todd & Jodi provided during our stay. We were fortunate to find their place available at the last minute and could not have been more pleased with the experience. Home was beautiful and on a great piece of land, peaceful, quiet and convenient. We felt right at home, almost better than right at home, which was the whole purpose of our visit. Beds, bathrooms, kitchen and all the accessories of the home were top notch. All the recommendations and help in finding last minute winery visits and dinner reservations were incredibly helpful as well. We will be back.

Quality Group Time Amidst Nature
Rented both the main house and the Zen studio for a family celebration. A beautiful setting and wonderful space made it feel very special. We had everything we needed and host was extremely responsive and takes very good care of the property.

Oak & Avo RV-Carpinteria Foothills Mountain View
This was our second time staying at the Oaks and Avo RV. If you enjoy the outdoors, nature, and a super relaxed place to recharge, this is hard to beat. It's about a 5-minute drive to downtown Carp, but the RV itself is in a quiet, secluded neighborhood, tucked into the foothills. We were traveling with our dog and this retro RV and the lovely private yard around it was just what we needed.

House with Private Park by Beach - Zipline PetsOK
The unique layout worked for our group (2 bedrooms (one is a walk-through) are separated from the rest of the house). Beautiful backyard and deck. Super quiet and peaceful. You need to descend a full flight of outdoor stairs to get to the main house and deck. Lovely outdoor spaces in a super convenient location.

La Petite Maison Blanche. Perfect downtown retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Dawn’s sweet downtown cottage. She has created a darling, fully equipped hideaway within walking distance of State Street, and if you’d rather ride a bike around, she provides them too!!! The comfortable backyard space was a lovely place to relax with a glass of wine after a full day of walking around Santa Barbara.

Ocean View Cottage
What an amazing little beach home. We loved Ian's home. It was stocked with everything we could need, the home was clean and cozy and had an ocean view from upstairs. The neighborhood is amazing and there are several charming restaurants just a block away from the house. Highly recommend.

Your Own Private Refuge on 10 Acres in Santa Ynez
Jeanne’s cottage was an excellent place for our little group of 3 and 2 dogs, a quick drive to SY and perfectly located for road biking. There is so much wonderful space to wander on the grounds and perfect lawn for dogs to romp around. The cottage is thoughtfully furnished and the kitchen is well stocked. Jeanne and her husband were so nice and made us feel right at home. Without question one of the most dog friendly Airbnb I’ve ever stayed!

Oceanfront Slice of Paradise
The location was perfect, the house wonderful, and the beach amazing! We will definitely be staying again soon! What a great escape. Everything was just what I needed to feel comfortable. I don't think you'll regret booking.

Private Studio with Ocean Views
We had such a great stay. The studio was quiet and peaceful, but still just a short walk to the beach and everything we needed. We loved the ocean view from the studio and the beautiful yard surrounding the property. We’ll definitely be back!

Cul-de-Sac Family Retreat - A/C & FirePit - 5*
We enjoyed a quiet weekend stay. The 3 bedroom home was comfortable for 5 adults with nice beds and spacious sitting areas. There were plenty of towels and a lovely yard. The home has many windows and lots of natural light, so if you are bothered by sunlight in the morning, bring eyeshades to help with sleeping late. Overall, our stay was wonderful, and the owner was available to answer any of our questions.

Petite Retreat; Artist Studio
I adored my stay! Kathleen made me feel so welcome, and the accommodations were beautiful, as well as very comfortable and cozy. Access to the Main Street was so convenient and I really appreciated the helpfulness of the host. I would absolutely stay here again! The decor and garden really made it special as well. 5 Stars!

Velkommen to Solvang
This was a fantastic place to stay. It was off the main street which made it very quiet. Very walkable. It was easy to get around with a stroller and a toddler. Would definitely stay here again.

Carpinteria Cozort Beach Properties #126
Small but efficient for us two. Great location in Carpinteria. We usually camp at the state beach but opted not to this year. Had everything we needed. Pool and spa were great. Complex was peaceful and other residents and office staff were very friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking in gated lot and the spots had plenty of room for our truck and there were bike racks inside the parking lot for locking up our bikes that we took. We only used our vehicle once it was too dark for bike riding, otherwise we biked or walked. Husband fished everyday for several hours while I got to sleep in, relax, watch tv, or walk up the street for shopping. Farmers Market on Thursday was great for buying fresh fruits and veggies and flowers.

FairView Lavender Estate
Hilary’s home was wonderful. Great location just minutes away from downtown Solvang. The home was well stocked and the gourmet kitchen was wonderful to cook in. The kids enjoyed the pool and I enjoyed the views and coolbreeze on the pool deck. It was super relaxing! We loved the 2 pianos in the home which we enjoyed playing a few tunes on. We did a zip line tour which was only minutes away from the home. Multiple fruit trees and flowers enhanced the manicured property. Our doggy enjoyed the lawn but did pick up ticks on our walk around the neighborhood. We were able to brush them off him. Thankfully he’s on tick and flea prevention. Overall we had a fantastic time and the kids were sad to leave. We could’ve used a few more days! Thank you Hilary for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Cois Dara (Cush Dara) Under the Oak Permit
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!

New! Luxury Beach Retreat and Pool!
Joanie was a great host. We were ghosted by our original reservation and customer service was able to get us with Joanie. Joanie was extremely responsive and everything matched with the description on the listing. I'm extremely grateful with Joanie and her home was great. My husband and 2 children were extremely comfortable and relaxed during our stay. Thank you!

Comfy Sandyland Rd Sunset Shores Beach Condo
We enjoyed our week stay at Frank's place. It was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect! Easy access to the beach and walkable to many great restaurants. We walked to the nearby Amtrak train station to take a quick 15 minute ride to Santa Barbara. Frank provides beach chairs, umbrella, table, cooler, ect for a relaxing day at the beach. Frank was a great host.

Quiet private retreat, 2 bedrooms near the beach!
Michael was an absolute amazing host and very responsive. I highly recommend his place to anyone who wants to be in a beautiful environment.

Seaside Condo Heated Pool and Hot Tub!
Absolutely beautiful place to stay for 4 nights for my daughter’s graduation from UCSB. The place is extremely clean. It may be quaint, but it really was perfect for what we needed. Modern vibe, lots of storage, great furniture, and loved the staircase! Loved how close we were to the beach and the town of Carpenteria was absolutely adorable and fun with very friendly people working in all the shops and restaurants. Very safe place and neighborhood! I had booked an Airbnb over a year ago in Santa Barbara for my daughter’s graduation. I had paid in full and they cancelled on me 6 months later! So, I booked another Airbnb in SB, paid in full, and they cancelled on me a couple months ago. At that point SB was completely sold out, which is how I ended up in Carpenteria. I was bitter!! But, I truly believe things happen for a reason! Had we not been cancelled on, we never would’ve discovered this Airbnb and the town itself. I will definitely come back & stay in this wonderful place!
