Villa Sogno, Island View Paradise
What a stunning property! We had a fantastic stay at Villa Sogno. The location is beautiful, serene, and very walkable. Highly recommend!

Large Lower Suite in Mountain View Home
I got sick on the way to LA and Stayed with Jennifer almost for week - her hospitality was more than i could ask for. When she went to the town, she asked if i need any groceries or wanna order food - she picked up lunch for me - will recommend her to any one who wants to have cabin experience and piece of mind:)

Malibu Mountain Apartment Getaway
Cindy and Seth were amazing and very accommodating! Will for sure be back make sure to book they are amazing and not was An amazing experience

Private Guest Suite in Camarillo California
Excellent stay. Felt very well rested for my work shifts. Jon and Felise were so hospitable and made me feel so welcome. Would definitely stay again.

Garden Studio near the beach
Super cute spot & conveniently located! Very clean, easy checkin & in a nice neighborhood. Good food options that are nearby but also not far from downtown. I would stay here again if I was in the area :)

Ocean Oaks Studio-Carpinteria Foothills
The studio was so cozy and so thoughtfully put together. I was really happy with how roomy it was since my partner and I were traveling with our dog. After exploring all day, we were always excited to head back to the studio to relax. The outdoor area also has a little table with barstools which we loved sitting at for breakfast. This is also so close to downtown Carpinteria and the beach. I highly recommend this spot!!

Ballard Suite Spot
this place was an excellent value! we booked trying to get within 10 miles from wine country. we were within 3 miles. We wanted peaceful. Such a tranquil spot. Indoor/outdoor seating. Breakfast was walking distance. all we could ask for. Definitely planning to visit again!!!

Ocean View Private 2 BR Guest Apt w/ Large Yard
We truly enjoyed our stay. Breathtaking views, very peaceful, and Jerri’s hospitality went beyond our expectations. She sprinkled in extras throughout our stay that made our experience in Malibu even better than it already was. I can’t say enough about how great she was throughout our stay. We would definitely stay again and encourage others to check out her place too!

Conejo Valleys Nature Escape for hikers and bikers alike!
We had a great time staying at Sarah’s place. The studio was spotlessly clean, with great amenities, and a delicious bottle of wine to welcome us. The room was spacious, clean and well-appointed. The view from the hillside over the valley was stupendous. The neighborhood is private and quiet, except for the coyotes howling at night. :-). We would definitely stay with Sarah again.

Montecito Farmhouse Studio-walk to Coast Village!
I stayed at Blaine's place for a solo pre-Mother's Day getaway and it was magical! I come up to the area once a year around this time and usually I stay at a hotel in Santa Barbara. This time, I decided to explore Montecito and do an airbnb and Blaine's place stood out. It was the perfect location and size with great amenities. Blaine was also very responsive when I reached out for local recommendations (outside of the extensive guidebook she put together). I would love to stay here again on my next trip up!

Cozy studio with sunny backyard
My husband and I had a great stay with our dog. The space is compact but has everything you could possibly need and the full enclosed yard was perfect for our dog to stretch her legs and go potty. Everything was very clean, comfortable and thoughtfully considered. Would stay again!

Private Peaceful Escape 🌟 Amazing Views ⭐️
Always a pleasure to stay at any of Rose’s units! Very peaceful and private. Me and my girlfriend do a lot of traveling for work and always look forward to relaxing after a long work week at any of Rose’s units. Highly recommend staying in the Spanish hills for the beautiful views as well as quite neighborhood.

Sunrize Destinations - Modern Mesa Studio
Sara was a lovely host and her place was wonderful! The bed was spotless and the most comfortable Airbnb bed we have ever experienced. She was such a thoughtful host, providing snacks, resources, etc. and even thought of the little things like lotion and a fresh kitchen sponge (as someone with severe allergies, this was such a kind and unexpected gesture). You can tell she takes joy in making sure her guests have a perfect experience. The outside patio was amazing, so nice to relax at both during the day and in the evening. And the nature preserve with trails beginning right down the street was a highlight of the stay! Located in a great area overall - very easy to access downtown Santa Barbara, UCSB, West Beach, etc. We loved having access to the washer and dryer as we were able to do our laundry - the washer did smell a bit musty but not a huge surprise given that it likely doesn't have a lot of time to air out between guests. Overall a near perfect stay and we can't wait to return!

Amazing mountain views in Montecito
Took my wife and 8month old son for a quick getaway in the hills of Santa Barbara. Our was space was clean, quiet with beautiful mountains views to wake up to. Perfect location to enjoy all the amenities of SB minutes away. Thank you for this experience Heather !

Adorable Cottage with Private Patio
Adore this place!! Favorite place to stay when visiting UCSB!!! Clean, stylish and cozy!!!

Opals Acres studio. TRU23-0114
Absolutely loved staying at Natasha's place. It's a short drive from downtown, so it was close enough but also very peaceful away from the buzz. The animals on the farm are super friendly (her cat Nacho became my instant best friend!) Natasha also was very nice and even turned the hot tub on in the evening for a great unwind. Will definitely be staying again!

Modern Private Santa Ynez getaway
Stayed at Todd's place for 10 days recently and have great things to say about both him and his place! I am in and out of SY a fair amount, and Todd's place was an easy and pretty place to post up for the week, and I really loved coming back to this pretty neighborhood and having a stroll around it in the evenings. Todd has done a lovely job with this studio - it's new and spacious and airy and with really nice furnishings and pretty dish ware and I appreciated the full kitchen. The little patio was perfect for sitting outside and working on my laptop. Todd is a super nice guy and thoughtful host and I really enjoyed chatting with him when he was a around. One thing to know is that he sometimes rents the main house when he's gone, but I hardly noticed the other guests and you are separated from the main house by the garage, so each guest had their own space. Overall was a great place to spend time and I would come again!

Santa Barbara Mesa Studio
Can't beat the location if you'd like to hike or walk to definitely a great spot for that it is five minute walk to the beach. And the boathouse at Henry's Beach is in walkable distance, as well as the Douglas preserve.

500 SF Private 1 Bedroom, Living Room & Bath Suite
This is truly a wonderful room and amazing hosts! The living room is spacious and very clean, the bedroom is cozy and quiet. The backyard is so relaxing. There’s a little Maltese named Jessie—he’s curious yet shy, absolutely adorable. Kyle and Pam are incredibly welcoming; they made me feel right at home.

Hope Hacienda
Very much enjoyed our stay here! The spot was a great space for us while in town for a family wedding as it was quiet and peaceful, yet very close to shops/restaurants for meeting up with our family. The space was very clean and quiet! The host provided information on how to find the door to the unit, which was very helpful as we probably would have struggled to find the door without that information. Additionally, there is lots of street parking, but we just had to be mindful of where we were parking since we were there during school days.

The Tiny Cottage — Studio Retreat for Two
We really enjoyed this airbnb. It is in a perfect location and has everything two people might need. The hosts made the absolute best use out of the space. It is very clean, comfortable, private, and peaceful. We felt right at home. We will definitely be booking again!

West Beach Waterfront Blue Heron Retreat
A lovely and calming stay, with the most comfortable bed! We loved the house and the reverse osmosis water, and would love to come back soon! Thank you Liv for being a responsive and kind host!

Private Suite - Views, close to town & beaches
Beautiful spot nestled on a quiet, peaceful cul de sac atop a wide vista. The guest suite was perfect for a long weekend, equipped with essentials to make our stay comfortable. Really appreciate Darci and Dominic welcoming my pup, too. Definitely recommend!

The Corner Cottage in the Village of Solvang
Very happy with everything and would DEFINITELY recommend!!! It is easily walkable to downtown Solvang as well as some other amenities and restaurants nearby. I have a hard time thinking you would be able to find a nicer place with a better host. Everything is exactly as described and possibly better. I would love to return to the area again and I would stay at Linda and Jeff’s place without hesitation.
