Hart Flat Hacienda Ranch Retreat with Pool & Hot Tub
This was the second time my family and I stayed here. We love the pool, the spacious patio, and secluded location. We had a little issue but Nikki and the property manager Karen did everything in their power to resolve and fix things and they did. Karen was very responsive and helpful. Always a great place to stay.

Black Desert House ft in Architectural Digest
Fun, unique, and private stay near Joshua tree. The view from the back windows is amazing. A few acres in the back to explore, a lovely infinity pool, and gated entrance. Loved it.

Mason House: Luxury Retreat with Pool and Spa
Mike was the best host ever. He responded super quick, he was very helpful, friendly and attentive. Kitchen had all the essentials, outdoor shower was great, pool was super relaxing, sofa bed is really comfy, everything is brilliant. 11/10. Definitely would come back. Me and my friends had such a peaceful and fun time, all thanks to the environment that Mike created. Would for sure recommend!!

Breathtaking Views Boho Chic Oasis by Casa Oso
We had such a perfect stay at Maja’s home! The view is incredible, and the various decorations around the place give it a very cozy vibe. There’s plenty of space and things to do that we never felt bored. On top of this, Maja is very kind and clearly communicated everything our group needed to know. Definitely hoping to return here someday!

VACATiON in Paradise is Real @ Sequoia Alta Vista
The bnb looked just like the photos, beautiful views all around. The host was very responsive and checked in throughout the stay to make sure everything was going well. My group had a great time!

Award-Winning Forest Getaway: @thesearanchhouse
This was our third trip to The Ranch House and it never disappoints. Rather, Stephanie has updated several areas that made our experience, this time with a baby, that much better. The updated shower was a big hit with my wife. The water stays hot and the removable shower head makes for a comfortable experience. The bedroom, more spacious now, retained that cozy feeling with a little more room to put up the Pack-'n-Play (very convenient that they have one) so our baby could sleep comfortably at the foot of the bed. The bedding is soft, comfortable and we slept well every night. Personally, I enjoyed the Nespresso and other coffee options and some additions in the kitchen that assisted with dinner prep. Finally, this was our first trip during the summer (early June) and the weather was fabulous. With it being a little warmer, there's plenty of trails that provide shade throughout. What an amazing stay for our family, we can't wait to return!

Sunset House - Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room & Fire Pit
Adrienne and Jonathan were very responsive. The house, the pool and the surrounding grounds are beautiful. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Adrienne and Jonathan for hosting us.

Eco Luxury Private Sanctuary / The Farmhouse Oasis
This was the best experience at an Airbnb in our 10+ years of travel in the US and abroad. Amazing, peaceful, quiet, impeccably clean, easy to access, bedding was amazing, amenities incredible….and even better than the pictures! Loved the outdoor amenities and the host was so kind and inviting. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip to CA.

The Beach House
This home has the most beautiful views and the house is wonderful as well. The furnishings were cozy, clean and comfortable. We had a fantastic stay and wished we could stay longer. Would definitely stay again if we are ever back in the area.

Oceanfront Vacation Home On The Mendocino Coast
Peaceful. It was great to be right on the cliffs and hear the ocean and birds, on the patio or in the hot tub. Well appointed house with lots of space indoor and outdoor.

Beach Front Dream House! Hottub/E-Bikes/Surfboards
we loved staying here! everything was in excellent condition and looked exactly like the photos, plus you can’t beat the location! the beach was right across the street and walking distance to coffee, shops, food, etc. evan was super responsive and gave very clear, easy to follow instructions for check-in and check-out. highly recommend for your next beach trip!! ☀️

Remodeled Stinson Seadrift Lagoon Escape
my friend and I stayed at Peter‘s place over Easter weekend, and we just loved everything about it. The home layout was fantastic with one wing having all of the social spaces, dining kitchen lounging rooms with huge windows that looked across both lagoons. Beautiful sunset and watching the sea birds. The other wing had a sleeping quarters in the bathrooms. Everything was pristine and there was plenty of space. One room is a bunk room, which was super fun and the beds were really comfortable. The house is well located and even more beautiful than the pictures Peter was super responsive and proactive we would stay again in a heartbeat. There are such beautiful, calm, peaceful energy, a great place to unwind.

Casa Del Mar, Spectacular Ocean Views!
My husband Josh and I had an unforgettable time at Cindi’s place in Sea Ranch. The home was even more beautiful than the photos—unique architecture, cozy design, and right on the beach. Every evening we watched the waves crash on the rocks just outside the window. It was peaceful, stunning, and truly magical. Cindi was a fantastic host, super helpful and kind. We’re already dreaming of coming back!

Entire Hobby Farm, Surrounded by Vineyards
This was our second visit to Lee Ann’s home. This time we were able to appreciate the lush summer vineyards, afternoon breezes, and even picked a few apricots. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful views and the peace and quiet of the countryside.

Hummingbird House in Charming Cambria
This was my first Airbnb stay and it was wonderful. The separate living spaces were very convenient as both of us enjoy togetherness and privacy. We actually ate all our meals in the house as we brought our own groceries and that worked really well for us. Walking to Fiscalini Ranch was fantastic, and it was an easy drive to explore Moonstone Beach and both sets of town. Highly recommend Hummingbird House!

10-Acre Vineyard Cottage w/Hot Tub + Bocce Court
Such a wonderful spot! Had everything we needed and it was so clean! Staying right among the vines was amazing. The beautiful gardens, fire pit and bocce were awesome, so much space on the property. Lastly, it was within 15 minutes of every tasting we went to, even closer to downtown Healdsburg. Such a special little place ☺️

Design & Style with White Water View
Our second stay, and just as wonderful as last time. The views are unbeatable, and the ability to walk to the lodge is an amazing benefit (I loved being able to grab a coffee there in the morning, or knowing I could have a few drinks and walk home!). Beds were comfy. To note, the blinds in the rooms aren’t blackout so the mornings are bright — but ideally you’re up then anyways to enjoy the gorgeous views!

Chic Mountaintop retreat! Hot tub & Sauna
This is our second time at Highrock House. Absolutely love the peacefulness and beautiful surroundings. Every amenity is available at the home - no need to leave unless you want to! This is our favorite place to stay in Idyllwild! We will definitely be back.

When Only the BEST Will Do (True Ocean Bluff)
We had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful home the weekend I was prosing to my girlfriend. The pictures do not do the place justice and the views from the backyard are amazing. Brian was an excellent host and was very attentive and helpful during our stay. We loved the peaceful vibe of Sea Ranch and can’t imagine coming back and not staying at this place. We look forward to returning again in the future!

Oasis at the Nest ~ Mt Shasta
This place is literally heaven on earth! Love the views, all the amenities and how comfortable the house is. The decor is amazing! The books, the telescopes, the coffee, the bottle of wine, the beds and pillows are comfortable. My favorite part is to watch the stars from the jacuzzi! Also, reading books from anywhere outside or inside. Love the linens, towels provided. You can easily relax inside or outside. The weather was perfect! We have come before when is windy and this time we had no wind so it was perfect! Cannot wait to be back!

Sparkling home amidst six acres of ancient rocks
Doug was super responsive and had clear instructions for the whole house. The house itself was situated at the best spot within boulders. No view of the Sierras, but the surrounding rocks were beautiful. Private and quiet. The house and kitchen had more than the basics. Cooked many family meals easily. Would definitely stay again.

Terra Nova | Hot Tub | Fire Pit | Desert Views
Beautiful house in middle of yucca valley which is not too far from civilization, but feels distant enough. Great place for vacation. Will come back!

Flat Stroll to the Beach / Hot Tub / Private Yard
We had an amazing time! This home is great for kids. Lots of toys, books, and amenities suited for families. Short walk to the beach. We will definitely be back!

5 Acre Modern Redding Retreat + Hot Tub + Views
The photos for this listing does not do this place justice. This is, by far, one of the best Airbnb’s I have ever stayed at. The layout is efficient, the interior is beautifully decorated, and the front/back porch amenities beat what you usually get at this price point. The amount of acreage on this property offers a lot of privacy, and you can hang out outside without worrying about disturbing the neighbors. There were a few things that were a bit ambiguous from the photos/listing: First, there are two separate bedrooms on opposite ends of the house. Second, the bunk bed is a double on the bottom and twin on the top. Designed to be more of a kids’ room but 2 adults can fit on the bottom if you’re on the shorter/smaller side. Third, the master bedroom only has a half bath. The full bath is in the hallway. This could be a good or bad thing depending on the needs of your group. Overall, everyone in my group loved the experience.
