Ocean View Spa House
This property is amazing in every way. There’s a view from the ocean from almost every room, beautiful tile work and gorgeous, well appointed bathrooms. A sauna and extra hot hot tub. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need. The house itself is beautiful with private spaces, but also a large living room where everyone can gather around a beautiful tiled potbelly fireplace. It’s a short walk to the beach through a charming neighborhood. The host Rebekah was very communicative and generous, allowed us flexible, check-in and check out. I will 100% be staying here again.

Amazing Welcoming Unique Ocean Home
Yeshi's home is a museum of colorful artwork from her travels around the world. Wonderful to be lulled to sleep by the ocean waves.

82 “ Pool, Jacuzzi , HOT SAUNA, VIEWS, Newer ADU!
simply Laura's family are so wonderful hostess, beautiful persons and the house is very nice place, peaceful, beautiful and for my wife and I will be thinking to return again soon.

Oceanfront Vacation Home On The Mendocino Coast
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was clean, very comfortable, with a great view, wood burning fireplace we were allowed to use, comfortable beds, and a hot tub. The kitchen was extremely well appointed with everything we needed to fix meals, including a comprehensive spice rack.

Cosmo Beach: Riverfront Sanctuary
We loved the property and its proximity to the water and two large beaches. The house itself is thoughtfully decorated and has the furnishings and supplies just like it would if someone actually lived there rather than the typical Airbnb “shell” that only has the bare necessities (or less). We did have an unfortunate complication that occurred when we arrived. Things happen, but what matters more than anything is how a host handles an unexpected event. Jay was kind, understanding, and empathetic and did everything needed to make things right. We will absolutely be back.

Dillon Beach Nirvana
The home was beautiful, we truly enjoyed our time there. They say that pictures are worth a thousand words but pictures of the views from the multiple balconies are unable to capture how stunning they really are. The home was just as listed, clean and was the most stocked home we have visited. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding areas and made unforgettable memories.

Riverwood Cottage - Hot Tub, Direct River Access!
Our stay was lovely! The beds and linens were comfortable and the rooms were quiet. The entire home was well stocked and it felt like a second personal home in terms of the quality of items - sharp knives, well stocked pantry for cooking basics, foil, etc. We brought two dogs and it was a paradise for them. The outdoor area is truly magical. The fire pit is great, the downstairs dog shower is handy, and the landscaping is sublime.

Sunburst Ocean Retreat
This coastal home was truly magical—perched right by the ocean with stunning views of the sunset and night sky. The house itself is beautifully designed, with so much love and care evident in every detail. It felt warm, peaceful, and thoughtfully put together. Ted was a fantastic host—very responsive and proactive, even informing us about a PG&E power outage that we didn’t even feel thanks to the battery backup. I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a serene and unforgettable stay.

cute cottage walking distance to beach
The cottage was exactly as described. It was very clean, tastefully decorated, and functional. The beach is within walking distance, and there is an ocean view when you stand on the street. The location is superb, situated conveniently between the Monterey Peninsula and Santa Cruz. There are many excellent restaurants within a 15-minute drive. Despite its proximity to these attractions, the area remains peaceful and relaxing.

Ocean Front Mid Century House
Super clean place with amazing views! The host was quick to respond when the lock wasn’t working, which we really appreciated. Would love to stay here again next time!

Big River Farm - "The Zendo"
Debbie and Aaron are wonderful hosts. I have only positive experiences with them both. The venue is wonderful and welcoming, and they are prompt in their responses to any issues that arise. It is always a peaceful and pleasant experience when we visit the Zendo. We’ll be back.

Unique Rock House on Redinger Lake
This place is on another level of beauty and privacy. Showed up. Gate was open. The ac was already on. Place was spotless. Ice maker full with ice (huge win!!) Sit on the deck and just take in the best view around. I gotta to hang for a few min at club red. The kayak around the lake was amazing. This is a top notch compound. Incredible the paradise they have built in the middle of nowhere!! Only negative was I had to leave. Thanks Joyce and tony for your hospitality. I will be back!!!

Cozy Log Cabin on 3 acres by Lassen National Park
We’ve stayed in multiple cabins & Alison’s Lassen Cabin exceeded our expectations. Clean, spacious, bug-free & very welcoming from the moment you walk in the door. Great location for getting to Lassen Volcanic National Park. You’ll melt into the bed after a long day on the trails. The cabin is stocked with the essentials you need to make yourself for feel right at home. The indoor wood burning fire stove was the cherry on top! All around, a perfect place for some rest & relaxation. Would highly recommend :)

Riverfront Cabin
We absolutely loved our time at Laurels place. The cabin is on the older side but absolutely loved the charm and it had everything we needed for a great stay. Nothing beat the river though, we had an amazing time walking down there and enjoying nature and the hot tub. Definitely one of our favorite stays.

Mott's Cottage
Mott's Cottage was a wonderful place to stay and surrounded by breathtaking beauty. Natalie was an extremely responsive host. We hope to return someday. We loved paddling up the Fall River right behind the cottage to Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park, exploring Lava Beds National Monument, and hiking the crest of the Warner Mountains - all within day trips of Mott's Cottage.

Sparkling home amidst six acres of ancient rocks
Doug was super responsive and had clear instructions for the whole house. The house itself was situated at the best spot within boulders. No view of the Sierras, but the surrounding rocks were beautiful. Private and quiet. The house and kitchen had more than the basics. Cooked many family meals easily. Would definitely stay again.

Peaceful Poolside Garden Retreat
My significant other and I had such a great stay! Fawzia was an incredibly warm and welcoming host — super easy to communicate with. Her husband was also very kind, and their sweet dog made me feel right at home. The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. I also loved seeing all of their beautiful birds on the property — such a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. I would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend booking with Fawzia!

Romantic Mtn Studio - Pool, Sauna, Views!
If you’re looking for a nice & relaxing place to get away from your everyday life this is the place you want to be!

Charming Cottage in Country Setting
This was the perfect getaway that I needed and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for privacy and a safe, quiet place. The bed was super comfortable and the recliners were so appreciated because of some health issues I was having.

Sweet Sierra Mountain Cabin
This wonderful little cabin was a great place to spend a getaway weekend with my son. The peaceful, wooded surroundings provided the relaxing backdrop I was looking for and my son was delighted with the wood burning stove. He discovered that the pine cones that were suggested as fire starters did a great job and he had a great time replenishing their supply from the woods around the cabin.

Redding Retreat Ranch
We had an amazing time staying at the house. The kids and adults both loved the pool and the heat. Everything as described and would happily stay again!

Tropical Garden Cottage +HOT TUB &POOL by Downtown
beautiful backyard with hot tub. very quiet area. highly recommended.

Happy House Getaway - Pool, Hot Tub & Wine Country
We really enjoyed our stay at the Happy House! The pool was large and fantastic, perfect for relaxing. The kitchen was beautiful and very well stocked with everything we needed. The house was spotless, and the neighborhood felt quiet and safe. Both the garden and front yard were lovely, and the pool area was especially private thanks to the high fence. Brook was incredibly friendly, always checked in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay, and promptly answered all our questions. She was very helpful throughout our visit. Highly recommend!

Sebastopol Gem, The Birdhouse. Hottub. Pool. Views
I loved this place. It was beautifully decorated and had amazing views. The pool was an added benefit on hot days! It’s somewhat small for a group because it only has one bedroom but still worth the experience.
