2 BD Queen #2 @ Elegant Solvang-Pool/Hot Tub/Gym!
Great location, great place to stay. We have stayed here a few times and it’s always clean and the amenities are great.

Ojai Healthy Happy Getaway
Had a great time! Geoff and Annika were great hosts. The sauna was so nice after a long hike. The place was clean, peaceful private, and easy to get to. Easy check in and out.

Jacuzzi|Walk to the Beach|Games|BBQ|Calypso Breeze
Great spot right next to the beach. We watched the sunset on the beach, took bike rides to the pier and spent countless hours in the jacuzzi. Check in was seamless and the garage was an added bonus. Keep in mind that it's a tight squeeze and an SUV will probably not fit in there. The host was very responsive and took care of an initial issue with the hot tub. It was one of the main reasons we booked it and we were glad he responded quickly.

koolkondo Malibu Oceanview Getaway
Excellent property with excellent owners - we stayed for a couple of days during our son’s Pepperdine graduation and the property met our needs. Very spacious kitchen and living room. Amazing ocean views. Very clean. Strong communication. Highly recommended

Architect's 2 Bed Beach House 1 blk to beach!
We had an incredible visit to Santa Barbara staying here! Everything looked just like the pictures and the back patio was gorgeous. We loved the quick walk up to the beach and had no problem with taking the time to walk into downtown. We really appreciated Maddi’s recommendations for food, drinks, and hikes. Very convenient place, highly recommend!

☆ Graystone Manor ♕ Luxury King Bed┃WFH┃Fast WiFi
Jason is an amazing host. He is very responsive and helpful. The cute place has everything you need for either a short term or a long term stay. It’s quiet but it has a lot of restaurants and stores within walking distance. Definitely will come back next time we visit Thousand Oaks.

Just steps away from the beach
As always when we've stayed before it was a marvelous experience, quiet, comfortable, & peaceful. The place was clean, prepared & well supplied for guests. We loved the closeness of the beach, however, the defining aspect for us is feeling relaxed & rejuvenated with each stay.

Charming Coastal Getaway
Charming unit and a short walk to Linden Ave. A few hundred yards to beach entrance. Host was very responsive. We will come again.

Beach Getaway | Walk to Main Street
Spacious, clean lodgings on the first floor of an older home with very quiet renters upstairs. It worked great for our two-week stay in Ventura.

Steps to Beach & Town! Great Studio
The loft is exactly as described and surrounded by so many charming places to eat, shop, and relax. Paul has created an efficient and lovely loft. Oliver is super responsive, and all the instructions were very clear. It's near the freeway, so you can pop over to Santa Barbara or Carpinteria in 10 minutes. There is a bit of freeway noise, so earplugs might be helpful for light sleepers. But at night, it's a mix of ocean waves and light freeway hum, so it served as white noise for me to sleep really well on the comfy bed. A great location with great hosts!

Sunrise at the Beach 1 Block to Sand + Dogs
Steps to the beautiful beach and around the corner to Pierpont village area. The home was comfortable, though perhaps a little dated. For 2 people, it was plenty of space. We spent most of our time out enjoying the area, and the location is perfect for that! Covered parking was a plus!

Charming Studio with Balcony in Santa Ynez
We had the most incredible stay! The property is stunning. Amenities in the unit are well beyond expectations and the hosts are gracious and thoughtful. They left a generous welcome basket with note and had everything we needed in the gorgeously appointed room. The bed was comfortable and the furniture was beautiful. Everything felt brand new and we wished we could have stayed for much longer. We'll definitely be back!

Malibu Mid Century Ocean Breeze Minutes to Beach
Julie and Steven’s spot was a perfect, peaceful getaway. Surrounded by the Santa Monica mountains, it’s only a short ride into town, making it easy to spend the day at the beach and come back to the quiet in the evening. I came home from the trip well-rested, the mark of a great staycation. Thanks, Julie and Steven!

Private Bed rm, bath, kitchen & Private entrance
My Mom and I planned a wine weekend a few weeks out and were happy to find an airbnb that would be affordable, close to the wineries and restaurants we were looking at—and comfortable. My mom hasn’t stayed in many airbnbs and even though I often stay in others homes with them or on their properties, I didn’t want her to feel awkward or uncomfortable. This place was perfect and easy. Clean, spacious, private and comfortable. A lot of thoughtful touches and clarifying signs. We would definitely stay here again if returning to the area. Hosts were available and communicative, but gave us lots of space.

Cute, barn studio at Rancho De Amor.
Christina’s place was absolutely lovely. A really sweet little place that has everything you need in beautiful surroundings. It was really comfortable and peaceful. I would recommend and would absolutely stay again.

2 Bedroom Near East Beach
Easy check-in, clean, and comfortable. Would definitely stay again!

Budget two Bedroom in Summerland
Our stay was lovely and the place was perfect for me, my husband, and our two friends! Would definitely book this spot again!

Mesa Cottage~Nearby Beach Access
Comfortable stay for our first time in Santa Barbara! Located within minutes of the beach and a quick drive to downtown. Highly recommend!

Sun, Fun and the Beach Studio with Full Bathroom
Cute and cozy studio with a kitchenette in a neighborhood close to freeway, UCSB and strip mall with grocery store, Starbucks, etc. The Gerrits asked what we needed for our coffee ahead of time and provided the decaf Keurig cups and oatmilk that we preferred. They also provided free bottled water and snacks too which was much appreciated! We stayed during a very warm weekend so we slept with the window open and fan on. Not sure if there is A/C in the unit though so check with the host if that’s a must have.

Mid-Long Term Fully Furnished 1-bedroom Rental
The inside was newly remodeled; nice and clean. It’s a .5 mile walk to East Beach.

Cozy 1 bedroom w balcony, 6 minute walk to beach
Angela’s place was superb. Super comfortable and well equipped. Perfect location, a short walk to the beach. Angela was friendly, efficient and very helpful. I highly recommend her place and will hopefully stay there again.

Private guest house In heart of Montecito
Santa’s 2nd floor apt was well equipped and very comfortable for the two of us. It was convenient to downtown Montecito and Santa Barbara. Check in was seamless and Santa was quick to respond. The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom and living area were of good size. We would rent again next time we’re in the Santa Barbara area.

Cozy boho nook with Mountain View
Everything was awesome, very nice, simple, clean, inviting space. Had to be patient with the shower hot water but everything else really was easy and perfect.

The Shoals Corner
We LOVED having our Thanksgiving weekend at The Shoals Corner! The unit is charming, very comfortable, with a pull-out couch/bed conversion in the living room that gives a great view of the ocean (and sunsets!). From there, we could see a pod of dolphins feeding for quite a while one morning! We brought a crockpot and fixings from home, and made our turkey breast in the cozy kitchen for our holiday meal. The kitchen is really well stocked for up to four people. There's lots to do in central Ventura, so we worked out at a gym a couple of times, shopped for food and beverage extras next door to the gym, and drove around to look at neighborhoods. We also played miniature golf another day and thought about going to a movie...but the beach vibe, fresh air, and sunshine were so satisfying that we avoided indoor activities. We're already talking about going back next year. THANK YOU, MARY, for your hospitality and the opportunity for us to have a wonderful vacation!!
