Sweet One downtown Ojai
This spot is GREAT. It feels private, but it is still walking distance to everything fun in Ojai. It can be a bit tricky to find at first, but Tonya provides great instructions so I recommend reading those! Definitely would come visit again

French Country Casita - Breakfast Included
Lovely room , felt right at home . The hosts were great and the breakfast smashing.

Beach House Private Cottage
very nice place to stay, super cute, easy street parking. Was perfect for a few days with half kitchen and studio feel. 10 mins from the harbor.

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!

Casita Solstice
We really enjoyed the stay at your Casita. Very nice and had a comforting feel. View was amazing! If you’re looking for a peaceful spot full of tranquility, then this place is for you.

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!

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!

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.

Private top floor spacious 1 bedroom retreat
Emily and Alan went above and beyond to be accommodating and were truly terrific hosts. The place is clean and a great value and very homey, it's a great place. I travel for business and have booked here before and will book again. Thank you both, very much appreciated!

Sugar-shack
Beautiful, private cottage setting in Summerland. 15 minutes away from Santa Barbara, where we attended a wedding. The place is much bigger than it looks in the pictures. Super quiet at night, private, and we had breakfast on the cozy front porch!

Zoe’s Cottage Beautiful Near Beach & Downtown
Hector's place was tucked in a beautiful garden setting, and was perfect for our weekend in SB for a wedding. Everything was clean and tidy, and we appreciate the Nespresso pods and cold bottled water in the fridge!

Peaceful Montecito Cottage on Gated Property
Highly recommend! Amy was an excellent host, ensuring a peaceful and luxurious stay in Montecito. The cottage is perfectly located: quiet, yet close to all the experiences and local amenities. It’s been lovingly appointed and maintained, stocked with all one would need. We loved relaxing outside, enjoying the flora and fauna. Amy was so gracious and helpful. Already dreaming of returning!

Casita del Sol
This guest house located in the far back of the yard has a semiprivate feel. Top notch new build. Free coffee and creamers. Full size appliances except for washer and dryer. The deck at the guest house is perfect for hanging out in the afternoon if the weather is good.

Adorable Entire Guesthouse in Thousand Oaks
We really enjoyed our stay. The place was lovely and centrally located for everything we needed!

Bungalow Encanto ( Mesa)- walk to the Beach.....
Susan’s bungalow is conveniently located and is in pristine condition. I love the private garden, where I would sit out every morning and drink coffee. Very conveniently located to visit my daughters in Goleta and to go to downtown Santa Barbara.

Oceanview Guesthome-Pool jacuzzi access, pets&kids
We were so grateful, this beautiful home was everything anyone could ever wish for a while staying in Malibu, California. Absolutely excellent home to stay and experience. Thank you again, Desi!

THE VENTURA COTTAGE - Charming Studio in Midtown
This was one of the best Airbnb places I've ever stayed! Easy and clear communication about checking in, a great neighborhood, thoughtful and beautiful touches like fresh flowers, snacks, drinks in the fridge, and a bottle of welcome wine. All the furniture, towels, bed and kitchen amenities were top notch, as if I was staying at a friend's place, not a temporary vacation rental. Beautiful space and yard, very private and quiet area, abundant street parking, and only a 5 minute drive downtown. Amy's will be my 1st choice from now on anytime I'm planning a trip to Ventura!

Cottge On The Crt: Hike, Winery, Beaches 20 min
Thanks for a great stay. Our family was in town for a funeral and it was nice to have a safe, clean, comfortable place to come home to with the kids.

Tony’s Place - King, air conditioned, Private
Tony’s place was great for a couple of nights. Very private, plenty of space for 2 people and a great patio to sit out on. The Westside neighborhood is also great and convenient.

1 bd suite with full kitchen, washer, dryer, a/c.
Easy check in, comfortable place and easy access to LA proper. Definitely recommend!

“Ojai Moments"
A great play to stay if you are visiting Ojai. Peaceful and serene, and 10 minute drive to everything. We would def recommend this place for couples and families. Travis and his wife are welcoming and make you feel right at home.

California Guest House in the Privacy of the Oaks
Elizabeth’s place was in a great location, which felt secluded while being only a few minutes from downtown Solvang. It was quiet and peaceful, with the exception of goats at the property across the way, which made quite a bit of noise at night. If you’re a light sleeper, I’d recommend packing ear plugs and sleeping with the windows closed.

Private Guest House in Wine Country
Val and Hannah were wonderful hosts. Iam very thankful for them and their support. It was great meeting Charlie and Yuki too! the place was very relaxing and walking distance to parks. thanks again! hope to see you all soon :)

Christy’s Cottage
This is our destination in Thousand Oaks! Our 4th time here (I think..:) Don’t hesitate to book. I left feeling refreshed, recharged.. and not wanting to leave actually. The gardens, the pool, the shower, the massage chair, Dan, and Millie and Ashley make this place hands-down my favorite Airbnb. My son agrees! We love it here and we know you will too!
