Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Channel Islands Beach

I've stayed at this AirBandB several times and plan to return. The house is beautiful, comfortable and well equipped. Everything is in good working order. The beds are comfy. There is everything that you need to cook or bake. I especially enjoyed the midcentury modern sleek decorating style. Thanks Bob!

Beautiful house and great for families. We loved the decor and detail put into decorating the house. Very unique and special. We will definitely be back again! Thank you Sarah for being so responsive and helpful!

We loved this place so much! The yard was so so perfect for lounging around and soaking up the sun. We enjoyed the fire pit and bocci ball/corn hole, the perfect hang out yard! Fun location close enough to the beach, just a nice walk away. We loved the Mexican restaurant down the street. Beds were comfy and the place felt like a home away from home with all the cozy furniture. Loved that they had a high chair and pack and play. We had my niece with us and those were so helpful. We’re used to staying on Hollywood beach and Silver Strand is definitely more of a “locals” spot and a little busier beach but we loved it so much! Joanie was great and helped us with anything we needed. Highly recommend this place!

This place was perfect for our family of 4. The beach is at the end of the block. Easy walk to the grocery store, Starbucks and several restaurants. The home was clean and uncluttered and also had little extras like books, board games and laundry detergent. We used the beach chairs provided each night to walk down to the beach and enjoy the sunset.

I was quite impressed with the home. The home was as depicted, clean, comfortable and quite relaxing. Bedding is comfortable as well. The immediate area is quiet with an array of restaurants and shopping near by. Minutes from the expressway. Lisa is a wonderful host, professional yet personable. She left simple instructions and was available to respond to any concerns. My family and I enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

If I could leave a 10 star review I would. The host generously provided a shower chair and handles for my disabled father to use the shower safely. Any questions I had were responded to promptly. The amenities here are off the chart, they couldn’t possibly list them all. The perfect vacation rental! We loved hanging out in the front and back yard, enjoying the peaceful neighborhood. A cute playground was a short walk away. I cannot recommend this home enough and we’ll be staying longer next time, we had our family just join us at the home during the day for our visits. The beds were super comfortable, plenty of toiletries, a book nook for kiddos upstairs, gaming in the den, all the beach going needs and then some. I even saw a closet of baby items including a high chair. They have thought of everything and providing the comforts of home. I had a couple minor suggestions at check out for the host and they have likely already been remedied, they are so quick to respond and fix things.

Our stay at this magical home brought endless surprises. The land is full with citrus and native trees, surrounded by chirping birds. The overlooking view of the cliffs and tres from the front porch chairs brought so many happy signs of life, huge hawks, light from the sun, and glowing stars. The home itself is filled with handmade tapestries, colorful paintings, and unusual treasures that invite relaxation and play. The beds and bedding were super cozy and allowed for deep rest. The kitchen is appointed with everything you would need to cook, though the restaurants in Ojai were a short drive away. I made lasting memories in this unusual and welcoming home! And, Catie was beyond helpful. She worked with us our requests in ways that showed how much she genuinely cares about her guests. I felt so taken care of! We will return again to this place that inspired us to reconnect with ourselves and Mother Earth

I adore Ventura and Lonni’s place was no different. It’s centrally located without feeling like you’re in the thick of it with very little traffic noise heard and virtually none when indoors. The house was adorable and had everything listed and needed for a great trip. The mattresses and bedding was incredible, I slept very well during my stay! I wish I had more time to spend in the backyard, the true star of this space. The garden is beautiful and it feels very private and secluded. I hope to stay again!

All I have to say is WOW! We were obsessed with this place. Think the photos make it look awesome? (They do, and they are accurate, but it's even wayyy better in person)! This place really did feel like a magical jungle treehouse. Enter in through the carport and you see bejeweled stone steps leading every which way, since there are a few different places here -- though your stay is its own private place. The property has several well decorated and vibey places to chill by the natural spring. The place itself is impressively decorated too. Beautiful wind chimes serenade you during the day and frogs at night (while we stayed anyway, might be a spring thing). Darrell is very kind and always responsive and provides clear instructions for check-in. Quiet, serene place to stay and you'll feel immersed in nature. Can't recommend enough and will certainly be returning! Thanks, Darrell!

Mario and Steph have a great place. They were very communicative and friendly. The condo was lovely, spacious, and comfortable. The complex was great too—easy to find parking (thanks to the instructions from the host), a lovely pool, and very secure. Just across the street from the Valencia Mall, there are TONS of food and shopping options in under a 5-minute walk. Next time I’m staying in the area, I hope this place will be available again!

The house and the location were perfect! When we come back to Ventura this is where we’ll stay again. Everything was clean and our kids were happy with the games provided outside. This house made our vacation!

Our stay in Carpinteria was amazing! The host was very responsive and friendly. The location was absolutely perfect since we were one block from amazing beach with amazing sunrises and sunsets with a beautiful walk path. All the most amazing restaurants were in walkable distance or biking. There was also a grocery store nearby and coffee shops to choose from. The place was immaculate and had everything we needed. Bikes and other recreational equipment in the garage where very convenient. grill outside and fire pit were, our nighttime favorites since the nights get a little chilly. The views of the mountains and access to wine tour was also great. I would love to come back next time with my daughter.😊

Absolutely the best stay ever, Julie was outstanding in her communication and her place was ideal in every regard. I can not even say to all that is so easily accessible from her location. Every need I had was obtained in less than 7mins from her residence. I felt completely at home and more than satisfied with my stay. Have recommended Julie to all my friends and personally will seek her out as my first choice for all future visits. 5stars for accessibility, cleanliness and every consideration being accounted for…Julie is a diamond and I’m a world traveler so you won’t be disappointed I can assure you of that 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Just returned from 5 glorious days at Karen's place in Malibu. We rented both Ocean Sunsets and Beachcomber Bungalow. The units are attached to the owner's home, but are situated in such a way that we had complete privacy. The owners were accessible if we needed them, but otherwise, we felt we had the place to ourselves. The highlight is the incredible view from the well-appointed patio, which both units share. The home is situated on a mountainside overlooking the Pacific in a less busy section of the Malibu oceanfront on Pacific Coast Hwy. It truly felt like the ideal spot in Malibu, based on our travels up and down PCH. The units contained everything a traveler might want, from kitchen items to beach chairs. The space was very comfortable for the 2 people that occupied each unit. You could probably add one or two more people to each unit. The upper unit, Ocean Sunsets, has a picture window to the ocean and a skylight ceiling window which offer lots of natural light. For this reason we liked this unit better but late sleepers might prefer the lower unit where natural light can be better controlled. Both are decorated tastefully with a "beachy feel". The landscaping is beautiful and contributes to the feeling you've truly escaped to a paradise. There are some fairly steep stairs going down to the lower unit, then further down to the patio. My 82-year-old mother was able to navigate them with help, but it's something to keep in mind in case you're traveling with someone less mobile. Karen and Gary were considerate hosts throughout our stay. The day before we left, southern CA was hit by record-breaking heat. The AC unit in one of our units which hadn't been needed in years (with ave. summer temps in the low 70s) was on the fritz, and they had it replaced within a few hours. They made some great suggestions for sightseeing, to include staying right on our patio for a July 4th fireworks display (funded by movie stars who live in the area) in a cove down the oceanfront. For beach-goers, we recommend Zuma beach just a couple of miles south on PCH. We had no trouble parking and it felt less busy than beaches further south. Our only complaint was the weekend beachgoer traffic up and down PCH. You have to let go of any urgency to get anywhere. It's slow going. Of course we were there in the height of the season. And weekdays are better. Overall, if you like spectacular ocean views (the best in the US in our opinion), cooler summers (jackets at night), close beaches, and (once you're off PCH) a relaxing and comfortable escape, you will love Ocean Sunsets and/or Beachcomber Bungalow.

Great place to stay with a lot of space and hot tub and pool Lots of area to hang out and chill in the sun and two cabanas in the pool hot tub area was nice Lots of stuff for your small kids

Beautiful well kept property. Location was great, just a 2 minute walk to the beach. It was a further walk to shops and restaurants but doable (we much preferred being closer to the beach) It was nice to have our dog with us both at the apartment and the beach. 3 beach chairs, 1 umbrella and 4 beach towels were available for use. We appreciated the cleanliness and the kitchen seemed well stocked (we didn’t cook during our visit) The only thing that would’ve made our stay better is a mattress topper on the queen bed to make it a little softer because the mattress is very firm. We highly recommend staying here!
