Canyon Art House - Close to Beach & State Park

DollyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Such a wonderful location for exploring Malibu, Topanga and LA. As I was traveling with my dog, I needed space to accommodate her. This place was perfect. So peaceful and private, yet close to all amenities. Exactly what I needed. Super responsive host!

Topanga View Private Cottage

AngelaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Perfect home away from home for some quality time with myself, resting, relaxing and working on my creative project in a private, peaceful sanctuary that feels like my own tree house. Felt very safe and at home during my stay and had everything I needed. Especially loved the beautiful scrub jays who often visited. Thank you so much!!

Casa al Mare Private Cottage

HeidiRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was the perfect little spot for me and my well-behaved dog. The weather was nice and I enjoyed sitting outside in the yard. Jamie stocked the kitchen and bathroom with all the things I needed, and which complemented the food I brought for myself. I had pleasant interactions with everyone, and loved walking in the neighborhood. It's a lovely part of town.

Your Own Private Refuge on 10 Acres in Santa Ynez

ShelleyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was such a peaceful beautiful setting. From start to finish, this location met our expectations. Jeanne was so nice and easy to deal with and left us a delicious banana read for the weekend. We spent much time in Los Olivos wining and dining which was very close to our accommodations. The place was clean and comfortable and equipped with all our needs. Thank you Jeanne.

Guest Flat with Conejo Valley views

BruceRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The apartment was over the garage and was very private with great views of Steve's property which is a small vineyard overlooking the valley and the mountains in the distance. It was very convenient to our son's (and grandson) place in Thousand Oaks, as well as all the restaurants and shops in T.O., but is set up in the hills and is very quiet and peaceful. The apartment is very spacious with a fully equipped kitchen ready to cook as many or as few meals as you want. There is a king bed which is very nice. The bed is on the softer side, but still worked fine for my wife and me who tend to like firmer mattresses. The A/C was very nice as we had some warm days and the screened windows allowed us to get cool fresh air during the night. We will stay here again when visiting our son , and recommend it.

Adorable 2 bedroom guesthouse-Italian villa style

JohnRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Secluded location in Topanga Canyon yet very close to great restaurants and shops. The canyon roads are small and windy, and when coupled with fast drivers they can be a bit daunting. The property itself is beautiful and walkable to State Parks for hiking. The hot tub is located closer to Miriam’s home but still offers a mostly private soak. As others have mentioned the guest house is amongst a series of children’s toys, play ground equipment and the pool. The family has several children that run around the property throughout the day so this isn’t necessarily the greatest place for a romantic getaway, but any family will have a blast. Others also mentioned the outdoor zones/furniture around the guesthouse is a bit rustic considering the immaculate landscaping around the main house, but by no means an issue. Inside the guesthouse is clean and comfy, albeit quite small, but with a spacious bathroom and shower. Overall a great stay and fantastic communication from lovely hosts.

Zoe’s Cottage Beautiful Near Beach & Downtown

BlakeRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We had a wonderful stay at Hector's guest house in Santa Barbara. Check-in was easy, and the private access made coming and going a breeze. The location was fantastic—just minutes from State Street, so it was convenient to pop in throughout the day. The space was comfortable and met all our needs. Would absolutely book again!

California Dreamin’ near Beach

SharonRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Lovely cottage, thoughtful amenities and every detail was thought through. We loved how peaceful it was and the walkability to the nature preserve around the corner. The space is laid out well and cozy without feeling cramped. The linens and towels were incredibly soft and comfortable. Their attention to detail was a lovely surprise and all the extra touches were appreciated. We didn’t cook there but it is stocked with everything you’d need if you wanted to cook. We will definitely be back!

Bungalow Encanto ( Mesa)- walk to the Beach.....

AnnaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Comfortable bed, clean space, so quiet. I felt right at home. Sweet little outdoor sitting (napping) area outside. Close enough to easily drive to the downtown area where I found lots to do. A good walk to the beach (you can street park closer if you have a lot of gear). Be mindful the Mesa Steps down to the beach are no joke on the way back up! Really enjoyed my stay!

Beautiful, charming, quiet retreat

MicheleRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Linda’s place is a peaceful nature retreat from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, yet a short drive to great food and shopping spots. We enjoyed lots of hiking/walking, right out the door and several trailheads a short drive away in the stunning Santa Monica mountains. The space is furnished with beautiful vintage furniture and unique lighting. It had everything we needed and the bed was very comfortable. We appreciated the filtered water provided. The exterior spaces and gardens are beautifully landscaped. Linda was very responsive and respectful of our privacy. We’ll definitely stay here again.

Quiet Topanga Guest Suite

EmilyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This suite was perfect for close proximity to our son’s wedding venue on Topanga Canyon Road. My husband and i were so grateful for the roomy, comfortable space to enjoy some down time, as well as get ready for the events. Perfect space for 2! Very clean space, with little touches of accommodating features lie lots of extra towels, blankets, washer + dryer, bottles of water + more. Always nice to find that one thing you forgot pack - like Qtips, or lotion. Thank you!

Comfortable Private Studio - near hiking

SteveRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Stacee's place was perfect for the 2 nights my wife and I were in town visiting friends and family. While a little off the beaten path it was only about a 5 minute drive to the main street where there was plenty of restaurants, shops, gas stations, etc.. There were a couple of spots down the street to get food but we didn't check them out. We were very pleased with everything and feel like the place was stocked with everything you could need! My wife forgot to pack cotton balls.. under the sink there were cotton balls!.. I was a little hungry for a snack.. in the cupboards there were snacks! We would definitely stay here again the next time we're in town.

Peaceful Paradise With Mountain View and Full Kitchen

HayleeRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Topanga is a magical place to be. The home had positivity and warmth and radiated a feeling of Love. Los Angeles is one of the great cities in the world and Topanga was a great base to explore all of the offerings LA has in their mountains, beaches, urban and rural, farms and people. Topanga Canyon and this home and our hosts exceeded any expectations we had. It was truly a joy to stay at our hosts home and ramble around the canyon feeling the vibes that the people here preserve and cultivate. Thank you to our gracious hosts, the people in the canyon and Love Love Love to Los Angeles.

Secluded Magical Views HotTub FirePit Tennis Court

TigRating, 5 stars2 months ago
I was greeted with fresh flowers and wine on the counter. The 2 bedrooms are well-appointed, and the a/c cooled the place within an hour. I followed instructions for sink, gad no issues it as previous guest. I use ubereats so fewer plates to clean. The shower has high quality organic soap, shampoo, and conditioner. The hot tub and couch overlooking the ocean are perfect for winding down. The garden is beautiful with lots of birds and diverse flora. I appreciated having a washer and dryer in unit so I didn’t have to do clothes by hand. Diana responded was right away when I had trouble with the lockbox (never used one before, the front panel pops open not the lock). She also granted me a slightly later checkout than normal which helped me switch airbnbs more seamlessly. Oh, the fire pit and couches are wonderful. Nice place to chill, as it’s very secluded.
