Family-friendly vacation rentals in Southern California

Staying at Mojave Moon is like your own mini wellness retreat. The house and backyard are both so well done and shout out to the great vinyl collection! We loved soaking up the desert vibes in the backyard each day and making friends with all the adorable chipmunks and bunnies that came through to say hi. We had to reschedule our initial booking and Britt was extremely accommodating and always super communicative. We loved our time at her place and cannot wait to go back!

This place was HEAVEN!! We fell in love with the place. The place was spotless and looked exactly like the photos. A 15 min walk to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed the view from the couch every morning and the view from the lifeguard chairs in the evening. The Airbnb hosts were helpful and responsive. This place felt like home and can not wait to book again! Thank you!

Fantastic!!!! Our vacation at Oded’s place in Yucca Valley exceeded our expectations. Oded provided excellent directions and instructions on how to enter the property and responded quickly if we had a question. The interior of the house is clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and the kitchen has everything you will need. We especially enjoyed the espresso machine. 😊 The exterior is even more amazing. Plenty of furniture for lounging; the saltwater pool is perfect for swimming or just relaxing. Sitting in the jacuzzi at night and watching the stars was incredible. An added treat were the two owls that showed up each night and sat in the nearby Yucca Trees. We highly recommend Oded’s place and will definitely return.

This has to be one of the best Airbnb’s I’ve ever stayed in. The house was beautifully designed, had everything you need to cook meals, and gorgeous scenery. I highly recommend staying here - the studio outside was an absolute highlight.

This home was perfect for a laid back trip; the pool and hot tub were super relaxing, the backyard super private, and the inside was very comfortable and cozy. Jorgen was a very responsive and polite host! No trouble with parking, finding the place, or check-in. Jorgen made the entire process seamless so we could focus on our vacation. I would absolutely stay here again and appreciate Jorgen for opening his beautiful home to us!

Sarah and her husband were fantastic hosts ! super responsive . My boyfriend and I wanted to get away and it was exactly what we wanted. the views were spectacular. If you're looking to get away this Is the perfect private getaway . The location makes you feel like you actually left California and into a private beach-jungle hide out. Everything inside is contemporary and the best part is the beds are amazing ! Will definitely be returning !

This is the perfect beach house! Everything you could need, cozy, and walking distance to everything. Will definitely be booking again

Great house inside and out, a little hard to get to since we have a two wheel drive. Appliances could use an update, otherwise the interiors are beautiful and modern. Would love to stay again!

Diane was an incredible host! Her and the Hidden Passage crew have created such a beautiful and peaceful oasis and made mine and my partner’s anniversary vacation an absolute dream! It truly felt like we were removed from society for a small moment and that’s exactly what we needed. The property was so well managed and kept so pristine! Every staff member we met on site was so kind and extremely helpful! I could not recommend this place enough! Also the pool rocks, we spent every single day in it!

Everything was great! We loved spending time on the deck, with the hot tub and grill and table. The bedroom was comfy. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials including coffee and spices. We would definitely stay here again.

Kurt’s cabin is lovely — an amazing hideaway that feels very private, with amazing views of Joshua Tree. At the same time, it’s super conveniently located and whatever you might need - groceries, restaurants, sightseeing - is in driving distance. Kurt is an attentive, friendly, and helpful host. I would have communicated with him more, but everything about my stay was so smooth I didn’t need to! I will definitely be back again. A great place to stay when visiting Joshua Tree.

We stayed at the treehouse cabin for a second time and loved it just as much as the first time! It’s so cute and cozy and had everything we needed. We look forward to visiting again in the future!

Such a beautiful nature spot! Wish I’d booked another night so I could spend a whole day by the creek. I’ll definitely be back again!

Had a great time, beautiful setting and so serene! Love the backyard setup and high ceilings. Great hosts too, 5 stars!

Really enjoyed my stay at this cabin it was so peaceful! This place exceeded the photos and was more spacious than expected with room to relax, cook or write. Thoughtful amenities were provided. A short drive from the town center and walking distance from hikes made a great balance between a secluded feeling and convenience. Gordon & family were friendly and helpful! Will recommend & be back.

Rachael’s little cabin in the woods was very fun to stay in. The vintage cabin charm is evident from the pictures (there was even an eclectic collection of CDs by the TV that were fun to explore through!), but the fresh/modern feel is more pronounced in person. It is carefully maintained and clean which made us feel at home. I loved how my family of 3 + dog were able to stay warm and cozy in one room. There are children’s fairy tale books in one of the night stand drawers. Lots of detailed effort to make guests feel welcomed!

I get my adult children together once a year. My daughter, her husband and toddler come from Washington. We really enjoyed our stay at the Lake Elsinore home. David, the host was very nice. The home has everything you need. The kitchen is very well equipped. They had enough beds, towels and everything you could think of was there. My grandson had a lot of fun in the back yard, they thought of everyone when they made this home an Airbnb. I was very pleased. Although the pool wasn’t heated as expected, David did everything in his power to make it happen. I absolutely appreciated all he did and we all enjoyed our stay. My daughter asked if we could do it at the Elsinore house next year again. Thanks again David!!!

Cozy Cabin was the perfect choice for our nature retreat! Denlin's place felt very much like a home away from home. It is nicely furnished inside and each space feels truly 'cozy' and has a unique feel. The big back deck has gorgeous views of the surrounding National forest, with good opportunities for some birdwatching as well. It was only a short walk or drive to any local trails. If you are looking for somewhere that feels like a real home, and not a corporate rental, you will be happy at Cozy Cabin. :)

Perfect place to stay in the heart of Palm Springs. The host was great and responsive. The room was clean, nice and very well put together. Plenty of space and the outdoor area is very well kept as well. Highly recommend if you stay in Palm Springs.

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!

First off I want to say the pictures don’t do the back yard any justice. It’s so beautiful and the perfect get away trip without having to break the bank. Definitely worth every penny We loved it and we will be returning again! P.s. Just make sure you bring some bug spray there is a bunch of mosquitos in the back yard, we didn’t have any so don’t be us lol. 🙌

We absolutely loved our stay here!! Greg checked us in and was super helpful and Michelle was great about checking in and even made us a treat. They were there if we needed them but were also great at giving us privacy and letting us enjoy ourselves. Although we were out and about exploring and wine tasting, it would be a great place to hang out at for the day as well with the pool, hot tub, and hang out places around the property. It was a very calming place to just get up make breakfast and chill before getting going on the day. I will definitely be staying here again when we need a place in the area. Couldn’t recommend this spot enough.

Irma’s place was great we enjoyed our stay and she is very fast at being responsive to any questions or problems you might have.

My wife and i truly enjoyed our stay. Venus's place was very peaceful and tranquil.
