Home in Silver Strand
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 123 reviewsOcean Breeze Beach Home
I travelled with a large group of adults for a training. With the number of bedrooms and full baths, there was plenty of privacy for all as well as ample space for meals and hang out time upstairs. It was also extremely easy to get to the beach :)
Home in Woodland Hills
4.87 out of 5 average rating, 110 reviewsThe perfect fun loving home with pool and spa
First, Limor was great to communicate with and was very responsive when there was a power outage in the area. Her husband brought over a generator. She kept checking on my family and I, which was very appreciated. She’s a great host and communicator. I would definitely stay again when we’re in the Los Angeles area. Thanks Limor!

Staying at Danna's place was an absolute dream. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely welcomed and at home. The location was perfect — close to everything, yet peaceful and quiet, allowing us to fully relax and recharge. Danna is an incredible host! She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, being super responsive throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and will definitely be back! If you're looking for a beautiful place with an exceptional host, look no further. Thank you, Danna, for making our trip so wonderful! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We love staying at Paul's place! Not our first time, and definitely not our last! Great location, large enough for our group and the views from the decks are amazing. Paul is a great host!
Home in Santa Ynez
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 192 reviews"Willow" Farmstyle Home in Santa Ynez Township
Great home away from home. Felt comfortable! Necessities plus more available for use. Even provided extra snacks and farm fresh eggs. Only a text away. Very responsive, there was a fire in a nearby town and the internet was down for 2 days. Chrystine kept us consistently posted with when the internet was coming back and checked in with us to make sure everything was ok with our stay. Games and books kept us busy. Mom enjoyed her birthday vacation ❤️ Thank you!

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 225 reviewsSerene & cozy retreat, easy walk to the beach!
We had such a great time at Heidi's place. I love the Mesa area, so the location & house was perfect for our girls trip. Heidi is quick to respond to your inquiries, was flexible on check-in time, and the house is exactly as described in the listing. I do agree with others who said the photos do not do the pool justice, it's bigger than you think. She has a gorgeous backyard, the pool/spa were VERY clean, and I just loved all her succulent planters and lush green wall on the neighboring fence. I'm jealous! Lastly, I will say, we really appreciated all the labels on the light switches!!! Sounds silly, but that made things easier for sure. It's the little things. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in SB.

The home, location and ease of use were exceptional. Nothing like a little game of putt-putt to determine who is cooking breakfast! Quiet neighborhood that is close to everything. Happily recommend (& hoping we have an excuse to stay in Santa Barbara again!).

Rental unit in Malibu
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 156 reviewsModern Malibu Ocean View 1 bedroom
Katherine was a great host. Very friendly and even dropped off wine and coffee for us. As far as the Airbnb itself goes, my girlfriend and I agreed that this was probably the nicest place we had stayed at before. The view is great and I believe the kitchen is updated since the photos. It was perfect for the two of us.
Rental unit in Malibu Beach
4.8 out of 5 average rating, 277 reviewsMalibu Beachfront Paradise OceanView Apartment C.
Great location, very private. Community has direct access to the beach. During high tide, the water hits the bottom of the unit, which is a fantastic experience. Almost feels like you can jump over the balcony into the water below. Can get loud at night with the constant sound of wave crashing, even with all windows closed. Overall, a very nice and private retreat.
Rental unit in Ventura
4.81 out of 5 average rating, 475 reviewsEntire Apartment in great location
Loved the view of the hills up the street through the fog in the morning from the living room window. The place was very clean and well appointed, kitchen has everything you need. Super cozy bed, but the box spring is smaller than the mattress, so it hangs over the edge a bit on one side. Didn't really bother us, still slept well. Bring earplugs if the typical apartment sounds of upstairs neighbors and the elevator in the hallway will bother you. It wasn't excessive. Couch was kinda small/hard, but we pulled out the sofa bed portion to put our feet up and that made it more comfortable for relaxing and watching movies. If you have a large vehicle (ours is a pickup truck), the garage parking spot is tight and can be difficult to get in and out of, especially if the spot next to it and across from it are full. We made it work with careful maneuvering. There always seemed to be spots open on the street too. We'd stay here again. Friendly host, great location. Try the taco truck!

Rental unit in Valencia
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 161 reviewsMid-Century Luxury Resort Apartment
This is our second long stay (9 nights) when we come for classes in Santa Clarita. The area is very nice with stores and restaurants within walking distance. The apartment is tucked inside the building on ground level and felt very safe and private. We loved each having a large bedroom and ensuite bath. Though we didn't cook, the kitchen was nice for our quick breakfasts and is well equipped for a short term stay. The laundry room in the apartment is great to freshen clothes that need to be worn again. We won't ever stay in an area hotel because this was so much larger, more convenient and private and on site garage parking. I like that you get a final price and there are no shocking tourist fees etc added at the end. Our classmates were jealous of our accommodations. We had so much more fun than if we had been in isolated hotel rooms for the hours outside of class.

Condo in Westlake Village
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 115 reviewsStunning Condo, 20 minutes to Malibu Beaches!
Ed and David's apartment is easy to find and the check in was smooth. The apartment is beautifully and stylishly furnished and has everything you need. The apartment is in a great location, perfect for getting to the beaches quickly. Thank you so much for having us as your guests.
Condo in Port Hueneme
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 103 reviewsPort Hueneme 2 Bd, 2BA w/ Ocean View Beach Living
The Hosts were very helpful. We arrived about 1 hour early & the code didn't work. We could not figure out why. We tried for about 30 min & contacted the Host. They told us to watch the video & try. We did. Tried several more times - nothing. We were VERY frustrated (drove for hours & had dogs). Finally, the Host told us we were "8 min early" from the 4 pm check in & to wait. We were not happy. The Host eventually sent a new code since we tried so many times - it locked us out. Take away: DO NOT ARRIVE/ CHECK IN EARLY. Even if it is a few minutes. We understood the check in time, but it was VERY strict. The parking space was described as being being in the "middle". It is the "middle" BUT it is the first row as you drive in. We had a lot of trouble locating it. Besides all that - the place was very clean, exactly as pictured, neighbors friendly, & the beach was so clean! All the recommended restaurants were very busy, so plan ahead.

Condo in Malibu
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 123 reviewsMalibu beachfront condo w pool, 2 bedroom 1 bath
Very well located on Carbon Beach, as you may walk to the Pier or to Nobu. The apartment is very well equipped, like in a hotel room. The covered parking place is very useful (although difficult for Suburban) as it is pretty crowdy in summertime.
