Ocean View Steps to the Sand! Luxury 2 bdrm Condo
Comfortable place in a quiet complex with private entry to the beach. Convenient location to explore the area from.

Surfside Zen Steps to the Beach!
We loved our stay. It was a wonderful spot for our family to find peace during a trying time. A few short minutes from a very lightly trafficked beach; we could not have asked for a better place to stay. We are so grateful for the accommodations!

Steps to beach/Pool/EV charger/Parking/King bed
Our family had a wonderful time at this space. The unit was comfortable, spacious and very well stocked. We enjoyed the short hike along the bluffs to watch dolphins and seals. We spent hours on the wonderful beach steps away. The comfortable heated pool and hot tub were a great way to end the day. We would love to return one day.

Carpinteria Cozort Beach Properties #30
Rob is definitely a super host, and the location is so enjoyable, with walking distance to the sand, and town! My fiance and I will definitely look forward to another stay, and recommend this place to anyone looking for a calm relaxing get away.

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 wonât fit in the carport with the gate closed. Otherwise a great place to stay.

Spectacular Beach Retreat 3Bd/2Bth + Ocean View
We enjoyed our time here very much.. . It felt welcoming and cozy from the moment we arrived. Suneetha is a fantastic host she is very responsive, friendly, and puts so much care into making her guests feel comfortable. It was truly a great experience. Thank you Suneetha!

Luxury Oceanbreeze Beach Condominium
The building itself is close to the beach and ocean, so it shows some weathering. However, as soon as you step inside, it's Magical. The place was super clean and had everything you needed to be completely at home. The beds were super comfortable. We did not use the clubhouse so I can not comment on that. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come here again. Roza was so amazing and responsive. She is truly a Super host! Thank you Roza đ đ

Charming Coastal Getaway
Had a great stay and would definitely book again!

Ventura Keys Living: Boat+Beach!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home. We loved getting to sip our morning coffee on the patio, watching the paddle boarders and birds go by. Soaking in the hot tub was also a highlight. We loved that it was a short walk to the beach, too. A great place for a group.

Beautiful Modern Home Steps From Beach
We really enjoyed our Santa Barbara vacation. We particularly loved how close the house is to the nature reserve with beautiful sunsets overlooking the ocean.

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

Calypso Breeze|Jacuzzi|Walk to the Beach|Games|BBQ
10 Stars to our host and this beautiful space! I had family in and we were able to enjoy our time together and have our own space as well. The backyard was perfect for relaxing or enjoying time together. The short walk to the beach was perfect, and the Jacuzzi was such a treat! Pretty late on our first night we realized the Jacuzzi wasnât getting as hot as it should and contacted Victor. By the time we woke up in the morning, the technician had come out and fixed it so we were ready to enjoy our time. We enjoyed every minute and will absolutely be back.

Romantic Luxury Water Front near Santa Barbara
Absolutely HEAVENLY!! Incredible house, on ocean location, well appointed amenities, large deck, hot tub with full ocean view, comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, great communication, very helpful staff, will definitely return!

Architect's 2 Bed Beach House 1 blk to beach!
We absolutely loved Maddieâs house in SB! The beds and pillows were SO comfortable, the kitchen has everything we needed and we felt right at home. We brought bikes to get around and never had to move our car! Super close to the beach too! Maddie was super helpful whenever we needed anything! We definitely will be returning to this super cute beach house!

Shoreline Escape
This house was perfect for our family of 4. Ideal location, beautiful garden with a fresh lemon tree and beautiful flowers. Nice house design and decor - plenty of space and great layout. Everything worked as expected. Perfectly clean. We enjoyed our visit so much that we extended the visit. Amazing host. Responded within seconds with helpful support. So much better than a hotel! Easy check in and out.

Jardin de la Mesa - Walking Distance to Beach
Lovely AirBNB! Perfect for two couples; a lovely patio oasis, with privacy, lush trees and gardens, hot tub and firetable made it a standout. Less than 1/2 block from the amazing Douglas FamilyPreserve and awe-inspiring cliffside walking; we stood watching whales feeding! Great nearby restaurants and good launching point for excellent vineyards an hour away.

Charming Studio Hideaway in Montecito
Nattyâs 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!!

Secluded, private, safe dog friendly cottage
It's a beautiful spot to explore Montecito - highly recommend staying here!

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!

The Beach House at Silver Strand, Channel Islands
Great house for our family. All adult children had their own bedrooms, kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed the rooftop patio. Very close to the beach, just 1 minute walk.

Cute Mid-Century Beach Side Bungalow | Beachside
We loved our stay here. My wife loves mid century modern and the place was true to form inside and out. The minimalism was awesome and perfect for across the street from the beach. Pleasant change from the mansions and townhomes. I surf so suiting up in the garage and very brief walk to sand was great. Not many people around even better. Oxnard is our favorite getaway and this place was perfect for laying low and enjoying the beach. Go eat at Freddy's Pizza and order cheese sticks - old school Oxnard and so good!

Summerland Nest, Ocean + Canyon Views
This place has all you need. It's also near everything! Samuel was also very responsive and accommodating. He allowed us to have a late check out, which was amazing since it was our first time in Santa Barbara! Best part, it's pet friendly . Thank you for sharing your wonderful space with us!

The Deck House on the Silver Strand
Amazing hosts and a beautiful little home near the beach! We will be back without a doubt with our family.

THE GETAWAY - Beachfront retreat in Pierpont Bay.
We will often try to find a âdealâ 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, thereâs a âgear roomâ 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!
