Sweet One downtown Ojai
We had a wonderful stay at Tonya’s place! The location was perfect—quiet, peaceful, and within easy walking distance to everything in town. We especially loved the patio, which was a great spot to relax after exploring Ojai. Would absolutely stay here again!

California central coast 2-bedroom haven
This is such a special place. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer! It’s a perfect central location - close to SLO, Paso Robles, Los Olivos, etc. We loved hearing the chickens in the morning, walking through the garden and enjoying the hot tub/pool amenities. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway, this is the place for you!!

French Country Casita - Breakfast Included
The best Airbnb I’ve stayed at! It was extremely cozy and clean, and the breakfast was wonderful.

Beach House Private Cottage
Jamie’s cottage was so inviting and comfortable. It was perfect in every way. And Jamie and Billy couldn’t have been nicer to us. Great folks; great place. Our new go-to place in Ventura!

Your Own Private Refuge on 10 Acres in Santa Ynez
This was our second time staying at the casita, and Jeanne is a wonderful host! It truly felt like coming home. She had coffee, a delicious pound cake and scones all waiting for us as a treat during our stay. We had beautiful weather and were able to enjoy having breakfast and lunch on the patio, with joyful birdsong all around us. This place is a gem - definitely recommend staying there if your travels take you to the Santa Ynez Valley!

Private Studio with Ocean Views
We had such a great stay. The studio was quiet and peaceful, but still just a short walk to the beach and everything we needed. We loved the ocean view from the studio and the beautiful yard surrounding the property. We’ll definitely be back!

Petite Retreat; Artist Studio
I adored my stay! Kathleen made me feel so welcome, and the accommodations were beautiful, as well as very comfortable and cozy. Access to the Main Street was so convenient and I really appreciated the helpfulness of the host. I would absolutely stay here again! The decor and garden really made it special as well. 5 Stars!

Oak & Avo RV-Carpinteria Foothills Mountain View
This was our second time staying at the Oaks and Avo RV. If you enjoy the outdoors, nature, and a super relaxed place to recharge, this is hard to beat. It's about a 5-minute drive to downtown Carp, but the RV itself is in a quiet, secluded neighborhood, tucked into the foothills. We were traveling with our dog and this retro RV and the lovely private yard around it was just what we needed.

Coastal Private Guest House on 1 Acre.
Place was good and nice thank you Chris for your hospitality we really enjoyed the time.

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!

Zoe’s Cottage Beautiful Near Beach & Downtown
Hector was kind, accommodating and helpful during our stay. We found that he had left little things for us - water bottles, coffee - that made us feel right at home. It was quiet and near the downtown area, which made it a great area for those who love walking.

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.

Jersey Joy Cottage Farm Stay
I enjoyed my stay very much. So peaceful and I slept great. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. I’d def stay again!

Cottontail Cottage - A Santa Ynez Retreat
We had the best stay at Skylar’s cottage. The place was clean and cozy! We will definitely be back to stay again.

Hope Heights Casita
Great house, it had everything we could want, we had a great sleep, and it was wonderful to step outside in the morning in the little courtyard with a bit of fog just burning off! Met our needs and wants perfectly.

Central Coast Guest House - Private entrance
A perfect place to call home for a few days Matt communicates well and responded quickly friendly helpful. Let us check in early really appreciated his help. We would rent again.

Pet & Family Friendly, Private Montecito Loft.
This was a really nice place and stay for myself, my partner and my pup. Great yard space, really beautiful and peaceful area within walking distance to downtown montecito. The space was beautifully decorated and clean. All In all a lovely stay and would recommend this to others.

Private top floor spacious 1 bedroom retreat
Emily and Alan went above and beyond to be accommodating and were truly terrific hosts. The place is clean and a great value and very homey, it's a great place. I travel for business and have booked here before and will book again. Thank you both, very much appreciated!

Cozy 1 bedroom guest house private entrance.
As a Ventura native, coming back to my hometown is always so special. This spot was in such a precious location, and was perfect for my boyfriend and I, who spent time in Saticoy with family, went out to eat in Downtown Ventura, and did a day trip to Ojai! It seemed to be right in the middle of all of the most important spots. Andy and Amanda were responsive to any questions we had and were so friendly. The guesthouse was so cute and cozy, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Tony’s Place - King, air conditioned, Private
This lovely Santa Barbara guest house was only enhanced by the beautiful surroundings. The mountains, lush green trees and flowers, ocean views nearby, and great seafood! we loved the privacy and completely furnished guest house with an excellently stocked kitchen! Our only regret was that couldn't stay longer! I highly recommend Tony's place to anyone wanting to experience Santa Barbara at it's beautiful best! Tony was a gracious host and perfectly explained and provided everything we needed to enjoy our brief stay.

Cottge On The Crt: Hike, Winery, Beaches 20 min
Thanks for a great stay. Our family was in town for a funeral and it was nice to have a safe, clean, comfortable place to come home to with the kids.

“Ojai Moments"
A great play to stay if you are visiting Ojai. Peaceful and serene, and 10 minute drive to everything. We would def recommend this place for couples and families. Travis and his wife are welcoming and make you feel right at home.

Charming cottage in wine country
Where can I start?! So many things about this home were just lovely! Beautifully decorated, smelled great, great shower pressure, super easy access to Solvang, Santa Ynez, and Los Olivos… Our stay was truly effortless and relaxing, and we were so grateful to be able to spend the weekend here.

New Ocean View Private Bungalow- Walkable +EV chgr
Amazing location and awesome setup for two. Freeway noise was not an issue for us whatsoever. Neighborhood is in walking distance to some great food and cool things to do. Summerland beach and the surrounding area are gorgeous. Would absolutely stay again.
