Our mountain retreat on Linden Drive

KatherineRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Very pleased with our stay. Well-priced to comparisons. Augusto answered all questions and had great recommendations for meals, excursions, etc. PMCC was a great little find, and such a short drive from our home. This cabin was a perfect getaway place for my surprise anniversary trip. We can't wait to bring family back for a winter holiday trip in the future. Plenty of room for guests, enough space to gather and also spread out. The bathtub was a nice compromise for a spa. Beautiful views and local. I can understand why others loved and recommended this cabin. You will be so happy with your choice. Felt very safe in this neighborhood. We even found ourselves looking at real estate while we stayed. Enjoyed viewing beautiful wildlife; different from where we reside.

Sunny Garden Home near the beach

MelanieRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Marty and Carey's home was a perfect place for our friends' reunion! The home is spacious, clean, comfortable, and with great decor. The kitchen was well-stocked and we loved the openness of it. The couches and beds were very comfortable for lounging and sleeping. The backyard is so beautiful and peaceful, we spent most of our free time out on the patio, and the kids loved the swings. The hot tub was a big hit with everyone, and we enjoyed being so close to the mesa bluffs and the private beach. We can't wait to come back again!

Boho Bungalow | Sauna, Cold Plunge, Spa & Tea Bar

IvonneRating, 5 stars1 week ago
A sweet oasis - peaceful. Private. The outdoor communal area was a dream come true. The herbal tea bar was a comforting and amazing touch. The sauna was beautiful to sit in and enjoy the views of the garden. Great location, close to everything. Amazing recommendations for the area - for all walks of life. They thought of everything and were super kind and accommodating; friendly pups and cool to have the option to get fresh kitchen eggs too. I’m already planning on returning, not one trip - but two are already in my mind - crossing fingers it’ll be open to book! :)

Remodeled home steps from the Beach - 6 person hot

AnitaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a fantastic stay—our kids absolutely loved it and begged to stay longer every single day. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach, with gorgeous morning strolls and stunning evening sunsets. We especially appreciated that it was dog-friendly—the built-in dog door in the bedroom was such a thoughtful detail, letting our pup come and go without waking us. After full days of kayaking around the Channel Islands, relaxing in the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind. The kitchen was fully stocked for home-cooked meals, and the welcome snacks were a lovely touch. We also loved not having to pack beach gear—the hosts had everything covered: toys, canopy, towels, you name it. Everything was spotless and well maintained, and the host’s kindness in offering us a late checkout made our departure so much smoother. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

House with Private Park by Beach - Zipline PetsOK

PattyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a wonderful time at Rebecca's place. We had a family and friends reunion with children and pets, and the space accommodated all of our needs well. The kids played endlessly outside on the zip line, and the dogs had lots of room to run in the awesome, large yard. We liked being a bit removed from downtown Santa Barbara (5 min from upper State St. and 10 min from Stearns Wharf), and the neighborhood was really quiet and peaceful. Dog-friendly Hendry's beach was a short drive down the hill or a nice jog along the bike path. Unit was very clean and had everything we needed. No need for TV's for us. Between the games, the beautiful big yard and SB nearby, we had a great time!

Secluded Ocean view Tiny House

AnthonyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Dane’s spot was an awesome place to getaway for a while! Me and my girlfriend really enjoyed the view and the ability to open up all the windows and take in the fresh air! The deck was nice and we had an amazing grill to use! You are about 10 minutes from the local town and beach, and about 15-20 minutes away from Santa Barbra/Ventura. Over all it’s a pretty relaxing stay, and would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys quiet time and nature! I would also recommend bug spray:)

Your Own Private Refuge on 10 Acres in Santa Ynez

CareyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We loved our stay. The casita is close to downtown Santa Ynez and surrounded by horses and cows! The property is private and very quiet and peaceful. We brought our dogs along and were able to walk them in a nearby neighborhood and take them on adventures with us. Jeanne’s place was clean, well appointed and she was very helpful and a clear communicator. One surprise was the tax that was due separate from the paid price to Airbnb. It is stated in the listing that tax was not included but I missed that it would be paid separately. So just note, but we really enjoyed ourselves and would love to come back!

Serenity Retreat--Modern Mountain Cabin!

GinaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The cabin was very warm and inviting. I loved that there were DVDs available with recommendations on what to watch and why. Everything was easy to use with instructions for use. We started the wood fire, which was amazing and warmed up the entire home. We were worried we would be too cold, but it was left the house at a perfect temperature. You could also adjust each room as needed. There were spices and little things you would usually forget to bring, which allowed us to make dinner with no issues. Everything was super clean. It felt like home right away. The area was also warm and welcoming. We went to one of the local restaurants recommended, where we were greeted by people from town. It was an amazing experience. Coming back to the city was hard after being here for the weekend. The cabin is also close to a waterfall which we walked to, totally worth the hike!

Cabin Sweet Cabin - Views & Privacy! #CabinLife!

ChaseRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was probably the best Airbnb that my girlfriend and I have stayed at. The cabin is very nice and we loved these four things: 1) The living room: Big flat screen TV and a super comfy couch 2) The kitchen: Had everything that we needed to cook delicious meals 3) The views: The two decks give you excellent views of the mountains during the day and the starry sky at night. 4) Privacy: You get the entire cabin to yourself and the only noises you ever hear are the critters that call PMC home. It’s so peaceful. However, I would make the following advisories to anyone who wants to book this Airbnb: 1) Sleeps 2 people easily, but 6 is definitely a stretch. Unless people are okay with sharing rooms and sleeping on futons, I wouldn’t book this place for 6 people. 2) The dishwasher was broken and there was no out of order sticker on it. 3) I’d suggest bringing groceries from out of town. The general store doesn’t have much and the restaurants in town have sporadic availability.

Large Lower Suite in Mountain View Home

JaneRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Jennifer & Robin's place was completely delightful. It was cozy and comfortable and absolutely perfect for a nature getaway. It feels very private, the view of the surrounding woods and mountains was gorgeous, it was so peacefully quiet and yet only a few minutes from the little community of shops & cafes. They provided everything that was expected but were also so generous and thoughtful in providing so many extras! The little things that make a visit easier and more special - different types of tea, lots of warm blankets, kitchen supplies, moisturizer - all small touches that make a big difference.
