Sweet One downtown Ojai
Tonya's place was perfect for us! The central location right off Main Street in Ojay allowed us to leave the car parked at the AirB&B and walk everywhere. That added to our relaxation. And the restaurants within walking distance offer a huge variety of different tastes. I was surprised how quiet, protected, and safe it felt despite being in the back of a street-facing property yet surrounded by a high wall. The tiny backyard is very romantic and delightful. It has enough furniture that we could have had another 1 to 3 over for a glass of wine sitting under romantic lights if we wanted to. The colorful tiled bathroom is a piece of art - slightly like Hundertwasser! - and worth a visit on its own! I especially appreciated the good quality mattress, lovely bedding, and two different sleeping pillows to choose from. I often struggle to sleep in hotel beds, and Tonya's bed arrangement for her guests is top-notch. When we come back to Ojai, we will always look to book her AirB&B again.

California central coast 2-bedroom haven
WOW!!! We LOVED our stay at Liz & Robins’ Haven! They made me & my family feel right at home! We loved every. single. second. and did NOT want to leave this paradise. Liz was very attentive to us & even picked us some plums from her garden which were so yummy!! I recommend this place to everyone (especially those traveling alone) as it is a VERY safe & secluded area. We will be back for sure!

New Private Suite Near Beach/Restaurants/NightLife
This home is in a peaceful neighborhood. It was so clean and the bed was the best part (it was so comfy). Everything you need is already there…..It is In a awesome location with plenty to do around you and (Ventura is within 10mins). We will be back!

Subtropical Private 1 Bedroom Unit Mountain Views
I couldn’t have found a better place to stay if I tried. For the price, the place was incredibly roomy and very conveniently located. Anywhere you need to go in Santa Barbara will be a very short drive away, and lots of great restaurants or stores are within walking distance. The property is beautiful, well kept, and surrounded by fruit trees. I was never disturbed in the slightest by noise or other people. And Miriam couldn’t have been friendlier or more communicative and responsive. She also kindly offered me some of her home-grown bananas—genuinely the best bananas I have ever had. If you have the opportunity to stay here, please do. Once I spent a few days here, I realized how lucky I was to have found it. I doubt any other choice could have come close. Thank you Miriam!

Your Own Private Refuge on 10 Acres in Santa Ynez
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!

Private Studio with Ocean Views
Suzy’s place was exactly what I needed for a relaxing staycation. The views are amazing and it was so easy to get to the beach and the little town. I’d definitely stay here again!

Petite Barn
Hands down Best Air B and B I have ever stayed at (and I’ve stayed at Many). It is truly a healing place and sanctuary place to Rest and Restore.

This was a great place to spend a weekend getaway in Santa Barbara. Hector was so nice and responsive in helping us check in. Neighborhood was quiet and location was close to everything we wanted to do.

Bungalow Encanto ( Mesa)- walk to the Beach.....
Susan was a great host, and Bungalow Encanto was a perfect place to stay. The amenities inside were so thoughtful, we really appreciated it. The surrounding area couldn't be better, with the beach a short walk away and distance to restaurants so close too. Neighborhood was friendly and welcoming. Very charming experiencing, and and grateful for the opportunity to stay here.

Bougainvillea Bungalow - Guesthouse in Midtown
Scott and Erica were amazing host. They made me feel at home, and they were very responsive while I was there.

Private studio close to dunes
We had such a wonderful stay! The welcome was delightful, and Jack & Dunkin’ were absolutely adorable. The host family was very sweet and made us feel right at home. The space was clean, spacious, and incredibly quiet — perfect for relaxing. There were so many thoughtful amenities, from snacks and toothpaste to nice towels, comfy pillows, and a super comfortable bed. The bathroom was impressively large with a calming beachy vibe, and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need, including seasonings, cooking oil, quality dishes, and cute drinking glasses. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for comfort, charm, and hospitality!

Private top floor spacious 1 bedroom retreat
This was our second time staying here. Comfort and proximity to our family were key. On top of that, responsiveness and comfort were high on our list of things to like. Would definitely stay here again!

Luxury Cottage w/ Ocean/Island View, Jacuzzi & A/C
Came here to celebrate my 50th birthday with friends. The place was pristine and the photos definitely do not do it justice! Loved all the light that came into the place, enjoying our coffee in the comfy kitchen, lounging on the sofa with warm blankets, and ending our night in the hot tub while listening to music from outside speakers. The bed in the master bedroom was so comfy that I had to reach out and ask for the brand. Buying one for myself! The property was very private and we didn’t hear any neighbors. And the garden! The backyard garden was absolutely gorgeous! Definitely coming back here

Sugar-shack
Beautiful, private cottage setting in Summerland. 15 minutes away from Santa Barbara, where we attended a wedding. The place is much bigger than it looks in the pictures. Super quiet at night, private, and we had breakfast on the cozy front porch!

Cottge On The Crt: Tennis/Picklball, Hike, Winery
The home was clean, very well maintained, and had all the amenities our family of four needed. Melissa was super responsive, and the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. Definitely recommend if you plan to visit Pismo/Solvang region.

“Ojai Moments"
My 6-year old and I loved this place! We stay at airbnbs in Ojai a few times a year, and this place was definitely one of the best we have stayed at so far. It is quiet and calm, super close to Ojai town and to several gorgeous hiking areas and it is very reasonably priced. The hosts were so kind and welcoming, and you can tell right away that they take the utmost pride in this place. They have literally thought of everything possible to make sure their guests have a comfortable time. It's a perfect place for a weekend away, especially if you have a young child or two. Highly recommend.

California Guest House in the Privacy of the Oaks
This was my third time staying at Elizabeth's. It's never enough time, yet it always maintains to soothe the soul. It's a feel good place that's tailor made for relaxation and peace of mind. The conditions are pristine. perfection. Everything you could possibly want or need has been thought of by Elizabeth. She goes out of her way to make the place feel like home...little candies, coffee/tea station, fresh cut flowers, hand made soaps and furniture....home made enchiladas in the freezer. I am not kidding; this place is heaven. She makes the place so comfortable, that it's VERY hard to leave! If this place is available, I highly recommend renting it. You will not be sorry. It's a special, special place and I can't wait to return.

BRAND NEW Sunny Casita. Bike to the beach
Such a nice calming place. Very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. Pots, pans, and spices. My partner is 6’9 and I’m 5’10 and we fit on the bed and we’re comfortable. Loved the outside sitting area. Was a quiet neighborhood which I appreciated. Easy check in process. I want that back splash in the kitchen and the shower.

Mesa View Ranch Lemons
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & the place is very comfortable. We enjoyed walking down the drive to visit goats in the morning with our coffee. The view from atop the mesa is gorgeous and at the same time it’s so easy to get to the beach and arroyo grande village. I wish we had more time to linger. Reading a book out by the picnic bench would have topped it all off. We’d love to return.
