Ideal Group Getaway: Private 4BR, Pool, Spa, views
There were 4 couples that stayed from Friday-Sun. The home was so comfortable for all of us. Huge living area! Two really big master suites. Plenty of room and never felt crowded. The backyard was a real plus, with a beautiful pool and spa which we all so enjoyed. The seating outside was perfect with lounge chairs as well as tables for eating, plus a nice sectional. Even an outdoor bar area with 3 stools! The bbq was great and easy to use. We always felt right at home and had whatever we needed for an awesome time! Easy walk to downtown or a really quick car ride. The communication couldn’t have been better. Our host, James was the best! Quick responses to any questions and made sure we were satisfied. It was so pleasant to communicate with him and we felt like we had a new friend to assist if needed. We all wished we had a longer time at this great home and talked about staying here again. Great experience by all! Thank you!

Yosemite Hotspot's Waterfall
Our group of 4 families stayed at both house A and B for 5 nights. It’s convenient to have 2 houses right next to each other with 2 fully stocked kitchens (all kinds of cooking tools and appliances you’ll need) to cook for a very large family. Rusty and Renae’s houses are less than 20 minutes from Bass Lake and 30 minutes to the entrance of Yosemite Park. It’s also conveniently located less then 5 minutes to grocery stores and gas stations. All bed linens and towels were very clean. The kids especially like the arcade games and board games. The hosts were flexible and tried to accommodate our needs as much as possible. Our whole extended family really enjoyed staying at Rusty and Renae’s homes.

Luna Vista - Joshua Tree Highlands Nature Retreat
A Magical Desert Escape – Luna Vista is Perfection! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our recent stay at Cindy's stunning Luna Vista in Joshua Tree was nothing short of magical. Nestled under the stars and the glowing moon, this home offered the most tranquil and soul-refreshing experience our family has ever had. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty of the home—perched like a castle on a hill, with breathtaking views in every direction. The house itself was immaculate: fully stocked, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully designed to make you feel right at home (or better!). Every detail was perfect—from the cozy linens to the well-equipped kitchen and outdoor spaces that felt tailor-made for relaxation and stargazing. Cindy was an absolutely exceptional host—warm, responsive, and genuinely committed to making our stay unforgettable. Her attention to detail and hospitality set a new standard.

"The Carriage House" Upper Unit
Charming place, with “old world charm.” Upstairs unit in a courtyard (part of a 3 or 4 unit complex) felt totally private and secure. There was an ample living room, cute dining area, two good sized bedrooms, nice modern bathroom and totally functional kitchen. Easy to access, well located in Bankers Hill but walkable to Hillcrest and Balboa Park. Highly communicative hosts.

Modern Bay Park Home Views and Spa
Very safe and quiet neighborhood easy access to freeway and easy traffic flow. The house is as shown in the photos. Outside back area is wonderful. Easy communications, Bruce always addressed texts in a timely manner. Very easy check out - just drop keys in mailbox.

Walk to town! Redwood Studio cozy retreat for two
Really loved staying here! The chickens were so cute and the location was incredible. Enjoyed walking to town a lot. Really friendly hosts and great spot!

The Enchanted Manor-Private Oasis
Context: We stayed at the Enchanted Manor for the July 4th Long weekend. We went in for a family wedding. The Guests were Myself, my mother, and my sister all sharing the house. The place is excellent, great pool, and accommodations, and is visually stunning, my mom was ecstatic about how great of a place it was. The place was clean, and as advertised. Georgia (the Hostess) lives on the premises, but you'll only see if you want to. the Property is divided into effectively a semi-attached house. However, we wanted to see her, and my mom and Georgia seemed to quickly develop a friendship. The backyard is fantastic, we had some family over to swim over the weekend and it went over well with everyone. Street parking was easy for us, and we didn't have any issues. Overall, great place, a great hostess, and overall quite a nice experience. If you're thinking of staying there and are reading this: You're in great hands If you're Georgia, and you're reading this: Thanks for a nic

Family Reunion, blocks from beach
Everything we expected and more. Originally I was worried to book because all the positive reviews had been posted years prior. We stayed for a week June of 2023 and it’s wonderful. Clean, good location, everything you need. Will stay again if we’re in the area.

Peaceful Lake House 2bd/2ba
This place is charming, peaceful, and relaxing. You can’t beat the views of the lake as well as the mountain! We loved that it was fully fenced for our fur-baby. The home was clean and inviting and had all the necessary amenities. Our other Airbnb hosts had to cancel on us at the very last minute due to maintenance issues and Ginabelle accepted our reservation right away and went to warm the house up for us. Highly recommend staying here!

Lovely 3 bed room home, walk to the beach.
We had a great time and the location and house were perfect for our family of 4.

Unique 2 building cabin along the mountainside
We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the home, location, and area! The home was clean and had ample supplies (cooking equipment, spices, linens, toiletries, etc.). It was really nice to have a big outdoors space to hang out, along with the loft upstairs and separate bedroom outside/attached to the main house. We had some issues with the electrical outlets not working in the living room and main bedroom. The hosts tried their best to get it fixed so hopefully they will work properly for the next guest. Overall, we are thankful that the heat in the house worked and it was a cozy & peaceful experience.

The Good Land Getaway
Peaceful quiet place, feels like you’re on a private getaway.

Charming beach 1 bedroom duplex w/ outdoor living
We loved our stay, walking to the beach from the rental is so nice without having to worry about parking. The outdoor patio space is plentiful and great to eat outside. You have everything you need at the rental, and the neighborhood was so friendly and peaceful.

10th Tee Retreat on Public Golf Course
Jennifer's home was perfect for our weekend getaway. Amazing location looking out over the 10th tee with beautiful mountain views. The back patio gets fantastic afternoon sun and we enjoyed sitting out there, soaking in the sun, watching the golfers, etc. The beds were super comfortable as well. Kitchen is simple and clean with everything you need for a few days. Jennifer was very responsive to our needs throughout our stay. We would highly recommend!
