David's place was perfect for us! It is so comfortable and we loved watching Directv...what a treat! The kitchen space is fully stocked with lots of clear directions. David was very helpful and accommodating. Even the main house seems close to the guest house, it is still VERY private. Thank you David for a wonderful stay!!

Pool & view in Sta Rita Hills Wine Country, Lompoc
Lots of room for extra friends/family. Great stove top/easy cleaning up. Clean pool, working laundry room. Amazing outside view! Checks off as a really great spot to stay for a few days. Outside amenities is okay could be better. But overall, the stay was pleasant.

Island Style Oasis Home- Island in the Sky
This house is the perfect secluded getaway. It has an amazing pool and jacuzzi that you never want to leave with a spectacular view. It is hands down the most unique home I’ve ever been to. We loved interacting with the emu’s and there is the sweetest little cat that roams around the property. There are tons of lights switches everywhere that would at first seem overwhelming but everything is labeled very clearly making all navigation through the house a breeze. We would love to book this Airbnb again in the future.

Entire Home - A Pool Oasis in Sunny Ventura - Zuni
Me and my family stayed here for the weekend and it was so beautiful. The house was so clean and they provided us coffee. There was a pool that we got to enjoy. The house itself is so beautiful and it’s very close to the beach. We loved everything about it. We wish we could’ve stayed longer definitely coming back.

Stunning Exclusive Yurt on Large Nature Preserve
Suffice it to say, Jennifer with her warmth and great communication made my experience as good as it gets. If you’re new to camping, this is probably one of the best entry-level points possible. If you’re like me and you’ve gone backpacking, this will feel extremely luxurious. The pool is great. The hot tub is awesome. And the vibe inside the yurt reminds me of the Tree Bones Resort in Big Sur. I simply love this place and can’t wait to come back again.

FairView Lavender Estate
We were in town for a wedding for the weekend and this spot was perfect for us. We are a family of 5, we had a ton of space to relax in. The kitchen was stocked with coffee and water in the refrigerator which is really nice. There was also a delicious party to enjoy with our coffee the next morning. The property was absolutely beautiful as well. Highly recommend.

Eichler -Private- Oasis: Pool & Spa Escape
This home has so much character. The 70s-inspired design is super fun and unique, and the space was perfect for our group of five. It felt spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The pool and hot tub setup really made the stay—it felt like our own private retreat. Plus, the neighborhood was quiet, safe, and peaceful, which made it easy to relax. Dicle was equally great. They shared thoughtful recommendations, were responsive whenever we had questions, and even had someone come out quickly when the hot tub wasn’t heating up properly. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience—everything was handled smoothly and with care. Would 100% stay here again. It’s a perfect spot for a chill, fun getaway with friends or family.

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!

Sulphur Mountain
Absolutely gorgeous place with the most beautiful nature surroundings. Perfect for a family weekend with great amenities like pool table, darts and hot tub. Loved our stay!

Santa Barbara Beach Home | Spa, Enclosed Big Yard
Brent was very attentive & checked in with us several times. Brent was very gracious to change my dates as I had a last minute change. He left us a welcome gift. The home was perfect for us in a nice neighborhood. The large backyard was so nice with many amenities. Enjoyed the spa. Location was very convenient. Definitely would go again and recommend to others. Karen B

Sunny Garden Home near the beach
What a beautiful property! The backyard was like a sanctuary. We were walking distance to a beautiful beach and the neighborhood was quiet.

Modern Family Farmhouse pool&spa, treehouse, bocce
This was our second time staying at the Orchard House and it did not disappoint! The home and grounds are beautiful and peaceful. Our 4 kids loved the pool, treehouse, putting green, and bocce ball. So many cute cozy spots to enjoy a cup of coffee or book both inside and outside. The house is nicely spread out and could easily accommodate 2 families as there are 2 en-suite king bedrooms. The kitchen is well stocked for easy cooking and was left in pristine condition. We had a number of potentially annoying requests and Todd was quick to respond and accommodating. Our kids loved visiting the many nearby playgrounds and library. We can’t wait to come back!

*Lavender Hill Ranch: Elegant Estate w/ Epic Views
Michelle’s home was beautiful and spacious. A great place to stay for our group of 10. We were met at the door and given a tour by her property manager, who was very understanding with our delayed arrival due to traffic. We enjoyed both the indoor and outdoors spaces, especially the views and the wildlife: birds, bunnies and Alpaca! And, cute Downtown Solvang was only a 5-10 minute drive.

Escape the city and enjoy the hot tub views!
Ed’s place was amazing. He and his partner were super responsive and the home was an absolute gem. I will definitely be returning.

Boho Bungalow | Sauna, Cold Plunge, Spa & Tea Bar
Great location, easy access to beaches, downtown. Comfy king sized bed. Take advantage of the fresh eggs, they were delicious. The unit is an extension of a family home but has a private entrance and feels separate. Hot tub, garden and sauna are part of a shared space with the host

Ojai Valley East End Chic Ranch with Views, 2 bdrm
Catie's place was really clean and had everything you needed to have a good stay. So many interesting items to look at, and I feel like I need another stay to see everything. Lots to do on the outside property and plenty of games on the inside. The kitchen was WELL stocked and the beds comfortable. The common rooms are big with lots of places to sit. Close to great hiking areas and town. Book it you will love it!

Mesa Casita | walk to the beach
Brianne and David were great hosts! The place was beautiful and exactly what the pictures looked like. Our vacation was beautiful and so relaxing because of this place. It’s probably the best air bnb we stayed in. The area was perfect too. Felt safe and comfortable. Our toddler also loved the backyard. With the nice breeze, the fresh air felt great too. I also greatly appreciate the recommendation Brianne gave for a local family friendly beach. It was perfect for us.

A Dreamy Beach Bungalow
The home is well kept and cleaned thoroughly. There’s a few bug traps around the house but we didn’t encounter any during our stay. It’s the second house in from the corner which is a busy street but you don’t hear any noise from it. Only complaint would be the windows are old and not the easiest to open - since there is no A/C opening them during our stay was a must. Overall a beautiful house!

Hilltop Contemporary Ocean Views, 5 min to Beach
Awesome little place in summerland. Great view & everything was neat and tidy. The open living room to the porch was great for a breeze! Perfect distance to walk to family members place through the trails.

Rancho Mesa Escondida adobe home on organic ranch
This home and property are magic! Truly THE most heavenly place on earth. Pictures don’t even come close to doing it justice but I promise it is worth every penny. Connie is the sweetest woman, and makes the stay even more special. My family will forever be returning here to make the sweetest memories!

Quiet 2BR ocean view retreat on five acres
The listing doesn’t even do this place justice. It’s a bit of heaven on earth. We were close to everything for convenience but felt like we had our own private paradise with the most epic views of the coast. The amazing wildlife and mountains were beyond description.

Spacious 2 bdrm CA bungalow, A/C- walk downtown!
We had a wonderful stay at Michael and Sonya’s place! The house was beautiful and comfortable and we loved how walkable the neighborhood was. I would absolutely book again!

Ocean View Home In Summerland!
We had an amazing stay. Very nice layout of the house. The kitchen was well stocked with large assortment of coffee, tea, snacks. Views from the deck are so relaxing. Thanks Chelsey!

Montecito Luxury Stay (Stay Montecito)
This is one of the most beautiful and clean places we have ever stayed. It was a joy to open up the sliding doors and let the fresh air come in and the yard space is incredible. The king bed and pillows were super comfortable and even the hair dryer was good quality. Walking distance to shops and restaurants in downtown montecito as well as butterfly beach. The kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed. Thank you!
