Sweet One downtown Ojai
Tonya's place was perfect for us! The central location right off Main Street in Ojay allowed us to leave the car parked at the AirB&B and walk everywhere. That added to our relaxation. And the restaurants within walking distance offer a huge variety of different tastes. I was surprised how quiet, protected, and safe it felt despite being in the back of a street-facing property yet surrounded by a high wall. The tiny backyard is very romantic and delightful. It has enough furniture that we could have had another 1 to 3 over for a glass of wine sitting under romantic lights if we wanted to. The colorful tiled bathroom is a piece of art - slightly like Hundertwasser! - and worth a visit on its own! I especially appreciated the good quality mattress, lovely bedding, and two different sleeping pillows to choose from. I often struggle to sleep in hotel beds, and Tonya's bed arrangement for her guests is top-notch. When we come back to Ojai, we will always look to book her AirB&B again.

Beautiful comfortable guesthouse
Our family of 5 enjoyed Christmas at Dana's beautiful apartment in Santa Barbara. The neighborhood is perfect location for quiet and a cozy comfortable location. The apartment has great views - much light from the many windows - kitchen well stocked - beds are comfy and we really felt at home staying there. The unit is roomy and we liked having parking on the premisis. Full laundry room was a huge benefit. I recommend this for all ages and occasions. Dana was responsive to our only two requests: help with the Apple TV.

Subtropical Private 1 Bedroom Unit Mountain Views
I couldn’t have found a better place to stay if I tried. For the price, the place was incredibly roomy and very conveniently located. Anywhere you need to go in Santa Barbara will be a very short drive away, and lots of great restaurants or stores are within walking distance. The property is beautiful, well kept, and surrounded by fruit trees. I was never disturbed in the slightest by noise or other people. And Miriam couldn’t have been friendlier or more communicative and responsive. She also kindly offered me some of her home-grown bananas—genuinely the best bananas I have ever had. If you have the opportunity to stay here, please do. Once I spent a few days here, I realized how lucky I was to have found it. I doubt any other choice could have come close. Thank you Miriam!

Modern Studio with Hot Tub by beach
What a great Airbnb in the heart of Ventura. Everything in the home reflected perfection and quality. We loved it. Great cafes walking distance and really peaceful and lovely neighborhood. Highly recommend.

Private Studio with Ocean Views
This place was amazing! I needed a couple days getaway from the hustle and bustle of LA and Suzy’s spot was absolutely perfect. Her garden and the view are simply incredible. Shes created a very magical spot here. 10/10 would return

Creekside cottage studio near Miramar beach
What an outstanding cottage! The space is so comfortable and thoughtfully furnished and the hosts couldn't have been more gracious. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces reserved for the unit - an upper deck as well as the garden patio. We hope to return on our next visit.

Petite Retreat; Artist Studio
Kat is a great host and the petite retreat is stunning -- we loved the outdoor shower and location. Looking forward to visiting again!

Riviera View Cottage - fast WiFi shelter in place
We had a great time at Ginger's place. It has a beautiful view, nice outdoor spaces, and is very comfortable inside. The air conditioning was great as it was in the 80s and even above 90 for part of our stay. Ginger took care of the few small problems we had right away. The location was great, 5 minutes to State St. and 15 minutes to great beaches where we could take our dogs. Prices in Santa Barbara have gone way up in recent years, but it was worth it.

Adorable Cabana with hot tub
Such a sweet little cabana in the woods, very close to Solvang and the Santa Ynez Mission site. Quiet neighborhood, with little traffic. Owners have many animal friends to say hi to, though I didn't have the time allotted to say hi to the goats this trip! :( Walkable distance to a delightful coffee shop within the El Rancho Marketplace. My only dissatisfaction was there was no way to heat up something to eat in the rental.

Downtown Studio Guest House
Fabulous studio, walkable to downtown and private. Ana was a great host that made check-in easy. Perfect for a weekend getaway

Zoe’s Cottage Beautiful Near Beach & Downtown
This was a great place to spend a weekend getaway in Santa Barbara. Hector was so nice and responsive in helping us check in. Neighborhood was quiet and location was close to everything we wanted to do.

Toro Canyon Coastal Casita Oasis (Little House)
This was so wonderful, me and my family enjoyed it so much. They take care of the place very well and it was a warm welcome,

Cozy downstairs cottage of original Carriage House
A lovely apartment located in walking distance of downtown and a short car ride to Shoreline Park along the Santa Barbara harbor. I appreciated the quiet of the location and the privacy of the apartment. As a remote worker, I had a good WiFi connection and was uninterrupted by other tenants. I highly recommend this space for other remote workers!

Bungalow Encanto ( Mesa)- walk to the Beach.....
Susan was a great host, and Bungalow Encanto was a perfect place to stay. The amenities inside were so thoughtful, we really appreciated it. The surrounding area couldn't be better, with the beach a short walk away and distance to restaurants so close too. Neighborhood was friendly and welcoming. Very charming experiencing, and and grateful for the opportunity to stay here.

Kalorama Canyon Room With a View
We had a great stay at Andrew’s! The view was beautiful. It was so quiet and peaceful at night. Close to downtown and in a nice neighborhood. Andrew was a great host! Thank you!

Hope Heights Casita
Great house, it had everything we could want, we had a great sleep, and it was wonderful to step outside in the morning in the little courtyard with a bit of fog just burning off! Met our needs and wants perfectly.

Large Sunny 3 Bedroom Guest House, Great Views
Such a great stay at an awesome home with beautiful views every day and an amazing kitchen and the hosts are right next door if anything comes up. Super awesome and helpful couple to be around. Thanks again for the awesome stay!!!

THE VENTURA COTTAGE - Charming Studio in Midtown
We loved the clean, welcoming, and beautifully equipped private space. The full kitchen was quite useful for us. Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Only a short walk to grocery, pharmacy, and some restaurants. WiFi worked well for streaming. The fireplace was a nice touch.

Luxury Cottage w/ Ocean/Island View, Jacuzzi & A/C
Came here to celebrate my 50th birthday with friends. The place was pristine and the photos definitely do not do it justice! Loved all the light that came into the place, enjoying our coffee in the comfy kitchen, lounging on the sofa with warm blankets, and ending our night in the hot tub while listening to music from outside speakers. The bed in the master bedroom was so comfy that I had to reach out and ask for the brand. Buying one for myself! The property was very private and we didn’t hear any neighbors. And the garden! The backyard garden was absolutely gorgeous! Definitely coming back here

Cozy Stone Cottage
The stone cottage is the most beautiful charming air b and b! Everything was pristine yet cozy and inviting. The decor of the cottage is exquisite. So many lovely and thoughtful details throughout. The grounds of the property are magical. We had complete privacy but also had immediate responses to questions. The book prepared for the cottage with info on everything you need for your stay including things to do and restaurants was so thorough and well done . Plus Tom is a friendly, wonderful host and Sayde is the sweetest dog! Absolutely loved our stay! Thank you!

Mesa Flat with Ocean & Island Views
What a great house! We loved that each bedroom got a dedicated bathroom. The living area is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. We particularly loved how light and bright it was, and sitting out on the porch was very relaxing. The neighbors and tenants are all very friendly! I will 100% rent this place again on future trips to Santa Barbara. One thing to note - there are apartments surrounding the house, and on the first night, there was a group gathered outside enjoying the warm weather. The voices carry into the house. We didn’t mind it, and they didn’t stay out there too late, but I mention it in case that would be an issue for other guests.

“Ojai Moments"
My 6-year old and I loved this place! We stay at airbnbs in Ojai a few times a year, and this place was definitely one of the best we have stayed at so far. It is quiet and calm, super close to Ojai town and to several gorgeous hiking areas and it is very reasonably priced. The hosts were so kind and welcoming, and you can tell right away that they take the utmost pride in this place. They have literally thought of everything possible to make sure their guests have a comfortable time. It's a perfect place for a weekend away, especially if you have a young child or two. Highly recommend.

Pinecone Cottage
Nice quiet detached unit in the large back yard. Neighborhood is quite, with homes built on large lots with many trees.

New Ocean View Private Bungalow- Walkable +EV chgr
This place was the perfect stay for a jump-off point to explore summerland, Ojai and Santa Barbara! The place was very clean with great amenities including robes!
