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!!

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.

Ranch Style Home w/ Bikes! Heart of Wine Country
My friends and I stayed here for a weekend for my birthday to go wine tasting and E’s place was perfect! There was plenty of parking space for 4 cars in the driveway, the house was pristine with 2 huge bathrooms. The pool was also amazing- clean and clear and pretty big! It’s safe to say I would definitely recommend this place for anyone taking a trip to Solvang. It’s close to all the stores and wineries and the area is so beautiful and quiet. I will be back next year!

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!

Cozy serene retreat close to beach & downtown!
This is definitely a family home that is loved and well taken care of. Everything worked perfectly and every detail thought about and explained. The pool and Spa were clean and welcoming and everything we needed for a family gathering was included. Spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable (especially the beds) - it was very hard to leave!

Los Olivos Wine Country Stunner - Walk to downtown
Brian's place was the perfect spot for our family's celebration of my 65th birthday and my Grandson Sonny's 1st birthday party. My daughter teaches and lives at Dunn School, so Brian's place was within walking distance to her school and downtown Los Olivos. We celebrated my birthday at the area restaurants on Saturday and had Sonny's Party at Brian's place on Sunday. Standouts included a great outdoor grill and spacious outside area for all the guests, top-of-the-line kitchen appliances inside the house, plenty of seating inside and out, outdoor games for kids and adults, an in-ground outdoor fireplace, with s'more ingredients supplied by Brian for the fire. Spa available, maybe we will try it next time:) Brian reached out to us to make sure we had everything we needed and was available to answer any questions. I will definitely be a regular customer!!

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!

The Pink Casita
Thanks for having me! Really enjoyed the place- it was better than the photos. Garden is neat and bed is super comfy. Very relaxing and peaceful , nicely decorated place. French press coffee was amazing.

Casa la Luna: a peaceful modern rustic cottage
This home is so cozy and magical! The location is perfect - tucked away in the most serene neighborhood and only 10 minutes to downtown. The space itself was beautiful and homey, we absolutely loved the outdoor space and the outdoor shower. Shannon was a great host - would absolutely stay here again!

Location, Location, Location
Cute, quiet neighborhood. Just stayed one night but we slept great, beds were comfortable and there was enough coffee to make a pot!

Coastal Studio by Beach and Park
Such a beautiful and relaxing place to stay! There were luxury amenities and stunning scenery. Very responsive host and will defiantly plan to stay here again!

SB Beachside Bungalow, Dog Friendly!
We had a fantastic stay at Pauline's home! It was cozy, peaceful, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. We enjoyed the easy walk to the Douglas Family Preserve, where we were treated to breathtaking ocean views. Best of all was the outdoor space—relaxing in the beautiful garden and gathering around the fire pit made our trip truly memorable.

Pet-Friendly Coastal Hideaway
This place is absolutely magical. It’s quiet and secluded but also right next to downtown Santa Barbara. We stayed here for a month and my only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer! I can’t recommend this sweet casita highly enough!!

Charming Mesa Ocean View
5 star stay. Very grateful to Renee, seamless experience, gorgeous home, rare find. Highly recommend.

Casa Blue home
Alexis was extremely accommodating . Our flight was delayed for over 12 hours. Even though check out time was at 10am, she allowed us to stay well into the afternoon free of charge. Her place is very nice and clean. Location is excellent very close to shops, restaurants, and beach . We will certainly recommend staying at Casa Blue. Thank you again Alexis .

Casa Agave
We treated ourselves to this location and are so glad we did. Beautifully maintained property in quiet residential neighborhood. Great location: easy walk to the beach or bike in the area. We were there for a special occasion of a family member and I had to pry myself from the oasis of the backyard to attend the event.

Mediterranean Retreat Mountain and Ocean Views
We had a wonderful stay – highly recommend! A beautiful space, both inside and outdoors, very comfortable, spacious, clean, very comfortable beds, quick and clear communication from the host. A perfect experience!

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.

Shoreline Escape
We stayed as a family of 3 adults and 1 small dog and absolutely loved Mary’s place. A little vacation in Santa Barbara has been on our bucket list and we adored the view and the Shoreline park / Thousand Steps beach within literal walking distance (great for morning and evening walks). It’s also within walking distance to the harbor and Leadbetter beach! The spacious patio area was great for our dog to run around in and Mary’s place was very accommodating and dog friendly! Everything was spotless and as beautiful as the pictures, with easy instructions within the house manual and great communication from Mary. I’d recommend this to anyone wanting a beautiful getaway in SB in a beautiful neighborhood and an incomparable view. (The only thing to note is that the street outside Mary’s place and the park across doesn’t really have lighting at night, so it can/will get VERY dark, but the front patio has motion sensor lighting we used for our dog’s potty breaks at night!)

Lillie's Oceanview Retreat (Pet Friendly)
Our friends stayed for the weekend while attending a wedding and had the best stay at Driftwood Properties! The home has stunning ocean views and is walking distance to many local shops and restaurants. Aidan was a fantastic host - offering complimentary wine tasting and even a free spin class! If you are looking for a fun weekend get away I would highly recommend staying here!

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!
