Upper Unit Beachfront "Boathouse" House!
This beach cottage was the perfect getaway for Valentine’s Day weekend. It was very cozy with a beautiful deck where you could enjoy the beach all day long. You can access the beach easily and the Rosewood hotel. Would definitely recommend and stay again. It’s the upper unit of a house so you do share a hallway entrance with downstairs guests and the entrance is right by the bedroom. Apart from that everything was very nice!

Charming Studio Hideaway in Montecito
Natty’s place was an absolute dream for us and our dogs! We will definitely be back, it was so perfect, peaceful and private. And so stylish, thank you!!

Montecito 2br Retreat
Great place in a nice little neighborhood pocket that is still walkable to shops/beach. Hosts were responsive and accommodating to our needs with a baby. Would definitely recommend this listing and hope to stay again.

Oceanfront At Faria Beach- The Salt Bungalow
Great location! Beautiful ocean views from everywhere in the house. Fun surf. We will come again:-)

MODERN SLVER STRAND BEACH HOUSE STEP2SAND SLEEP 10
House is cute and homey. Described and pictured as listed. Great location to the beach. Sarah called beforehand to let me know all the details. There was a very nice welcome basket full of snacks. The house had lots of things to do including games, cookware, bikes, and beach equipment. Overall, had a great stay!

Boatel California Stay on a Boat in Ventura Harbor
Super fun stay at the Boatel! Shops and restaurants right there, as well as the Island Packers boat landing, where we took a boat to the beautiful Channel Islands.

Awesome Silver Strand Beach House steps to sand!
Was in town for work and Meredith’s place seemed like the right fit and it definitely was. Cozy and spacious. Steps away from the beach too which was a plus!

The Horizon House
A piece of heaven on earth! Regina’s home is perfectly located, offering stunning views from every window and beautifully modern decor. The linens and furniture are of high quality and extremely comfortable. It's evident that Regina curated each space with care and thoughtfulness. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the essentials. Regina’s place is meticulously maintained, both inside and out. We loved exploring the grounds—there's beauty in every direction. Regina is a professional and gracious host; we felt at home instantly. She was very responsive, and her advice and recommendations were spot on. Regina’s home is truly special. My family and I can’t wait to return. If you're seeking a tranquil getaway, I highly recommend Regina’s place, The Horizon House.

A Shore Thing
Great location, hot tub and pool were really great, great family spaces. We had a great week there. Also, Melissa was very helpful in mailing me something I accidentally left behind in the house.

Beach House with Pool & Hot Tub!
We loved staying here. A perfect location for easy access to the beach and the Ventura area. Don’t let the location near Von’s grocery store and Starbucks concern you – it’s amazingly quiet and peaceful considering the location. That also meant it’s incredibly convenient to pop around the corner to pick up supplies :) The house itself was immaculate and calmly decorated, while the kitchen had great supplies, including nice pots and pans. Across the street, we liked the cafe and the Thai restaurant (we also loved the original Rice Mama Thai downtown). Sarah was also very responsive. We hope to stay here again!

Santa Barbara Home w/ Private Outdoor Pool!
great house with an awesome backyard, we loved it there

Rancho Mesa Escondida adobe home on organic ranch
Connie is the best host I’ve ever had! Her property was paradise, the house felt like a complete getaway even though it was just 1 1/2 hrs from LA. We got to go whale watching in Santa Barba and come back to the property to lounge by the beautiful heated pool surrounded by fruit trees and a beautiful fragrant flower garden. Connie was super responsive and accommodating, everything in the house worked well and the space was so relaxing. We will definitely be back!

Goodland Getaway: Home w/ heated pool & hot tub
Fantastic house. Feels like a proper home, has everything you need. Would recommend to any family. Responsive host.

Seascape - Beachfront Splendor in Mussel Shoals
This is a beautiful home in one of the few waterfront properties between Santa Barbara and Ventura. The host was highly responsive and accommodating, and the place was very clean despite some wear and tear. The only cautions I would give to someone looking to stay here are that (1) the pool and hot tub are extremely narrow, (2) the house has no air conditioning, and (3) a large suburban or truck won’t fit in the carport with the gate closed. Otherwise a great place to stay.

Family Home with Pool and Spa
We had a great stay and enjoyed the hot tub and a number of home cooked meals. The home is in a quiet neighborhood and a short drive to downtown. Vanessa was friendly and responsive, thanks for sharing your home with us!

Steps to Beach - Padaro Lane Beach House
Our family of 5 had a perfect week here. The location is perfect for beach days or to jump on the 101 and head into SB or up the 154.

Steps to Sand! 4Bed/4Bath Home, Ocean View Deck
Great location! Beach was only a few minutes walk. Neighborhood felt very safe and was quiet, with exception of the daily national anthem coming from the nearby naval base. The house is stocking with everything you would need to make big family meals and anything you might want for beach play. Our grown kids LOVED the ping pong table in the garage!

Malibu BEACH Home Sunset on the Sand PRiVATE Beach
Great host. Wonderful location with beautiful views. Slept every night to the sound of the waves. Very clean house with spacious balcony. Stocked very well with basic and high quality necessities. Would highly recommend!

Mesa - contemporary beach house
Our 2nd stay here, and we still loved it so much. Quiet but close to everything, so many thoughtful touches (hampers in every bedroom, for example!) and perfect for our family of 4. Kelly was very responsive and friendly. Comfortable beds. Love this place, highly recommend!

One of a kind ! ! !
I cannot put in words what a fantastic experience we had! Absolutely lovely place with everything you could need and more! Beautiful design, great amenities, fantastic location! Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Spacious Beach House!Guest Favorite! Backyard!
Great stay. A mile from the beach. Perfect for a big family! The host was very friendly and responsive.

THE GETAWAY - Beachfront retreat in Pierpont Bay.
We will often try to find a “deal” near to, but not exactly on the beach - this time around we decided to find a place right on the beach, and we can say without hesitation it was entirely worth the small uptick in price and that we would do it again and again. The condo is amazing - you are literally a few feet from the sand, with nothing blocking your view or access of the ocean. The beach is huge, with ample space to find your own little comfortable spot, and within easy reach of the condo for snacks and refreshments. The interior space is well laid out, with lots of space, super up-to-date kitchen, and plenty of room to sleep our family of 5. Everything worked as expected and everything we needed was within arms reach. Plus, there’s a “gear room” of sorts with all kinds of games, sand toys, beach chairs, and bikes. We had zero concerns or complaints here - only good experiences. We do want to express gratitude to Daniel, as he is super responsive and helpful!

Casa Conchita: Modern home with private beach
This place is one to go back to. The home is beautiful, the view and location are awesome. The accessibility to the beach is so fun. Our family had an amazing time here. It had everything we needed to enjoy the house and ourselves. I highly recommend it.
