4.89 out of 5 average rating, 123 reviewsOcean Breeze Beach Home
I travelled with a large group of adults for a training. With the number of bedrooms and full baths, there was plenty of privacy for all as well as ample space for meals and hang out time upstairs. It was also extremely easy to get to the beach :)

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 91 reviewsStylish Relaxing Casita - Casa Blanca B2
We had the most amazing stay at this casita! It truly felt like a charming Spanish villa, perfect for our anniversary getaway. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and every detail made our trip feel special. The space was cozy yet spacious enough for my husband and I to relax and unwind. We couldn’t have asked for a more romantic setting, not to mention the outside patio was perfect for pictures. Highly recommend this beautiful retreat for anyone looking to escape and enjoy some peace and quiet!

Another perfect stay! Our family has been staying at Patti's house for several years. We usually base our vacation around the availability of her home. The house is absolutely perfect. We love the location, the high end amenities, EXTREME CLEANLINESS, and general vibe of the home. Patti is the most likeable human I've ever met. She started out as just our AirBnb host and now she's our friend. Thank you again. Until next time!

Guesthouse in Santa Barbara
4.73 out of 5 average rating, 15 reviewsAdorable Mesa Studio
This place was awesome! easy check in, clean room, and close proximity to Douglas reserve. Douglas Reserve was BEAUTIFUL. First stretch of the area has the best 180 view of the coast I’ve seen. Make sure to catch it for sunset and sunrise, and go to Boathouse down the street from it for a great beachside meal. 5/5 stars!

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 263 reviewsThe Beach House at Silver Strand, Channel Islands
We loved our stay at The Beach House! An ideal, coastal setting and a super comfy, beautiful home! My siblings/spouses were in Oxnard for a reunion and to celebrate a birthday and we needed a place to stay that highlighted Silver Strand beach and would be comfortable and convenient to stay in- and The Beach House provided all of it. Highlights included a wonderful top deck, clean and comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, an open kitchen with all you need, and cozy places to sit and chat. It is an easy and close walk to the beach and to Pepe's tacos! Thanks Abha and Jesse: you were excellent hosts and we had a memorable time.

Condo in Carpinteria
4.75 out of 5 average rating, 44 reviewsCarpinteria Cozort Beach Properties #126
Small but efficient for us two. Great location in Carpinteria. We usually camp at the state beach but opted not to this year. Had everything we needed. Pool and spa were great. Complex was peaceful and other residents and office staff were very friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking in gated lot and the spots had plenty of room for our truck and there were bike racks inside the parking lot for locking up our bikes that we took. We only used our vehicle once it was too dark for bike riding, otherwise we biked or walked. Husband fished everyday for several hours while I got to sleep in, relax, watch tv, or walk up the street for shopping. Farmers Market on Thursday was great for buying fresh fruits and veggies and flowers.
Condo in Port Hueneme
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 103 reviewsPort Hueneme 2 Bd, 2BA w/ Ocean View Beach Living
The Hosts were very helpful. We arrived about 1 hour early & the code didn't work. We could not figure out why. We tried for about 30 min & contacted the Host. They told us to watch the video & try. We did. Tried several more times - nothing. We were VERY frustrated (drove for hours & had dogs). Finally, the Host told us we were "8 min early" from the 4 pm check in & to wait. We were not happy. The Host eventually sent a new code since we tried so many times - it locked us out. Take away: DO NOT ARRIVE/ CHECK IN EARLY. Even if it is a few minutes. We understood the check in time, but it was VERY strict. The parking space was described as being being in the "middle". It is the "middle" BUT it is the first row as you drive in. We had a lot of trouble locating it. Besides all that - the place was very clean, exactly as pictured, neighbors friendly, & the beach was so clean! All the recommended restaurants were very busy, so plan ahead.

We really loved this place! It's like a 5-10 minute walk to literally everything in Carp. The complex also has a great pool and grill area that you almost always have to yourself.

Amanda, was helpful and quickly responded to my questions. The ola was helpful and quickly responded to my questions.

What a wonderful stay we had at Villa Azul! The location can't be beat and the house was even better in real life! A quiet neighborhood in walking distance to the beach, restaurants, shops and a beautiful walking/biking trail. Kathryn and Dennis were so helpful providing recommendations about the city and were always so responsive. Can't wait to return. My new favorite place!

Alex’s place is very clean and comfortable… the bed, especially, is sublime! This is a wonderful place to stay in Santa Barbara. The nearby hotels are similar in price, but half the space. At Alex’s one gets a room, bathroom, and entire kitchen and living room. It’s also very pretty. Stay here!

Rental unit in Oxnard
5 out of 5 average rating, 76 reviewsRolling Beach Dunes Cozy Studio
This is an incredible Airbnb! The location is great, it’s practically on the beach so I found myself walking along the shore and alongside the docks all day every day. The room itself is very charming with lots of character and amenities. The bathroom is very nice, the shower is hot and the water pressure is fantastic. All in all, Paul offers a private getaway at an unbeatable location. There’s so much to do in the area, and Paul is very friendly, easy to reach, and leaves lots of recommendations. Next time in heading up the coast, I’ll be staying here!
