Retro Cottage, Hot Tub, Putting Green, walk to all
Myself and some friends needed a place to stay after a wedding and Todd's place was perfect and I wish we could have stayed longer. The back yard was very private and provided a great space for us to decompress after the wedding. Highly recommend this Airbnb.

Sulphur Mountain
Great place! Perfect for large groups! Beautiful location to really relax and enjoy! 15 mins from Ojai! Host was super helpful and responsive with great recommendations for local spots in the area! Highly recommend this incredible location! Truly look no further!

*Casa Paloma* with sauna & jacuzzi
A great find for a quick night! Ila was timely in responding and flexible! Definitely recommend.

Zen Retreat
This place is such a gem. So so peacful and beautiful. The fire place and hte hotbub room are incredible. In the mornigns and in the evenings you hear so many birds singing and at night frogs croaking. It feels so peaceful! I've stayed here twice and home to come back again someday. Very close by car to Rincon surf beach and Ojai hiking. If you're looking for a nature escape this place is it!

Walk to State St & Beach, jacuzzi, parking, bright
We had a wonderful stay at Rachael's place. Everything from reservations to check in to check out was easy and smooth. The location was convenient to many great restaurants, eateries, shopping, and the beach. Rachael made us feel welcome with a nice bottle of wine and fresh flowers when we arrived. Everything was thoroughly cleaned and just as described. Rachael made some excellent recommendations for dinner that we adored. We had a little hiccup with the HVAC system, but there was great communication and it was resolved in a timely manner. We wouldn't hesitate to reserve this home again in the future! Thank you again Rachael!

*Lavender Hill Ranch: Elegant Estate w/ Epic Views
We had a fantastic stay! Michelle made it effortless to communicate with her. Check-in process was simple and informative. The house was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with thoughtful amenities that made everything easy and enjoyable. The views were absolutely beautiful—such a peaceful setting to wake up to each morning. The layout of the home was perfect for our group, with ample space for both quality family time and moments to spread out and enjoy a bit of personal space. Truly a great house in every way—we’d love to come back!

Escape the city and enjoy the hot tub views!
This home is a beautiful retreat for anyone visiting the Los Angeles area. The house is suited well for families and is well set up to make you feel right at home. It doesn’t feel like a rental but rather a beautiful home. It’s close to a park and the neighborhood itself is very walkable. Short drive to Los Angeles and patio is super private and scenic.

Two Story Home Near Beach
Extremely happy with our stay. The location was exactly what we were looking for, it was easy to walk to the beach and areas we wanted to. A quick drive to markets and restaurants, and not far from other beaches we wanted to visit. The hot tub was perfect after the long walks and days. The beds were soft and plush. Full kitchen and laundry so we came home with no dirty laundry to do. So nice. We will stay again. Thank you for everything. We appreciated it so much.
House rentals with free parking

Fully private cheerfull 475 square foot studio
Advertised properly! What you see is what you get. Perfect space for a good rest. Good space for your dogs to run around outside in the backyard when the zoomies kick in!

Yellow Door Bungalow
Annie’s charming bungalow was the best Airbnb experience I’ve had. Perfect location, comfortable beds, responsive host and a backyard that you’ll never want to leave. I look forward to coming back someday.

Tranquil Ranchito with Topatopa Mountains view
Jennifer’s home in Ojai was clean, comfortable, and very peaceful. We enjoyed waking up the views of the surrounding area each morning. Would recommend to anyone looking to visit Ojai.

GREAT VIEWS - Stylish - Over the Oaks - Whole Home
I had an incredible stay at this Airbnb! The home was impeccably clean, well-maintained, and perfectly located. The views were absolutely stunning, making it a serene and relaxing retreat. The hosts were fantastic—welcoming, responsive, and easily accessible throughout my entire stay, ensuring everything was seamless. Their attention to detail and hospitality truly made a difference. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful home in a great location. Five stars all around!

Immaculate Ventura home near beach!
The Caseata was cozy and clean, my daughters made themselves at home in the first 10 min. The house is conveniently located close to the beach, the Botanical Garden and our favorite downtown Ventura area where the shops and restaurants are at. The neighborhood was also quiet and felt very safe. We had a lot of fun staying there.

Lovely 2Bedroom Downtown
Blake’s place was a very cute and cosy little bungalow in downtown Santa Barbara. The place is very small but was perfect for us. A very quiet neighbourhood with plenty of charm. We traveled from Australia and were travelling through. We absolutely love Santa Barbara. The place was squeaky clean with parking and all required amenities. Definitely worth staying here.

🌊Silverstrand Beach 3 bd 2b 4 min to sand
Great house in an awesome neighborhood. Had everything you need and was clean. Would definitely stay here again!

Surf•Rock•House •2bed
Clean and updated house. Short drive to beach and downtown. Pet friendly which we really liked. Only (very minor) downside is it’s located on a very crowded street so we had to be extra careful with our large vehicle pulling in and out of driveway. But the provided driveway parking was great!
House rentals with a pool

Hidden Views
David greeted us upon arrival and, after that, we had privacy in the two-story guest house...which is the size of many homes! The mattresses were so comfortable that my wife wants to know where to get one. The views are lovely, plenty of space for the 4 of us and 3 bathrooms! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return again...

Pool & view in Sta Rita Hills Wine Country, Lompoc
Stayed here for a few nights and the house is really wonderful! Had everything we needed and a personal touch.

Island Style Oasis Home- Island in the Sky
Beautiful views. The kids said it was their favorite place they have ever stayed

Spacious Home With Pool and Spa in Thousand Oaks
This place was the perfect spot for our group attending a wedding in Malibu. The Airbnb was well provisioned with anything you could need and comfy beds. Everything was super clean!

Stunning Exclusive Yurt on Large Nature Preserve
This place was absolutely amazing and magical. Definitely above and beyond our expectations. It was very nice, quiet and the nature was incredible. The host was very friendly and responsive and made sure that we were having a great experience. We’re very grateful that she opened up her place for us. Everything was perfect! Would definitely do this again!

Modern Family Farmhouse Pool&Spa, Treehouse, Bocce
Can we go back on vacation?! What a beautiful vacation home to stay and spend our family spring break! The house was wonderful, great location, close enough to LA, Malibu, and other great towns but far enough away that your feel secluded. We never heard a plane or any sirens the whole time we were at the house. One of my favorite spots was sitting in the spa when a warm breeze would drift the smell of lavender, rosemary, blooming wisteria, orange and lemon trees.... The kids enjoyed the pool and living room where we played a lot of cards and board games. There were many hiking paths within 20 min or less locations. Todd was very accommodating, the house was well stocked with essentials and simple touches that made you feel right at home. We will return in the future for sure!

FairView Lavender Estate
Hillary’s place was absolutely beautiful—peaceful, cozy, and surrounded by incredible scenery. There were so many amazing wineries nearby, which made the whole experience even better. We had such a great time and can’t wait to come back again soon!

Eichler -Private- Oasis: Pool & Spa Escape
We loved our stay at this beautiful, well maintained and well appointed home! In addition to being of architectural interest the home was cozy and comfortable for our whole family. The kids swam all day, and the adults cooked and enjoyed the back patio and atrium areas. The yard and outdoor areas were lovely and well cared for. There were so many things to do close by - from hikes, to shopping, restaurants and museums. Instructions and information provided by Dicle and Trisha were easy to follow and clear. They were responsive and helpful in all communications. Will book again.
