Villa Sogno, Island View Paradise
Terri's place exceeded our expectations and was so beautiful! We especially loved the peaceful courtyard and gardens with an ocean view! The place was so cute and comfortable and in a great neighborhood where we were able to walk to coffee shops and restaurants. It was central to everything we needed in Ventura. We appreciated Teri's helpfulness and she was very accommodating and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful stay and for sharing your awesome place with us!

Large Lower Suite in Mountain View Home
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.

Nogmo Farm Studio
It’s a quaint little place, perfect for an overnight stay while going wine tasting! Highly recommended!

Modernist Suite: HOT TUB/View/Firepit/Patio + More
Meiner's Daughter provided the perfect setting for my solo writing retreat. My goal was to be somewhere peaceful with an inspiring view, free of the distractions of everyday life. It delivered! The decor was calming and comfortable, the space compact but not crowded. Timothy and Danielle were very responsive when I asked for help with the firepit. Unfortunately, it wasn't fixed during my stay, but they did try. The terrace was still a lovely place to relax with music on the speaker and a comfy blanket to keep me warm. The location is close enough to town and amenities so I did not feel like a total recluse. I enjoyed several long walks in the neighborhood, with a few hills to give me a real workout. I will be back and will bring my husband.

Beautiful, spacious, sunny courtyard studio.
Christina's apartment was just what we expected: A peaceful, well appointed space attached to a beautiful Spanish style home, where we could relax, rest, and just be. It is in a quiet neighborhood just down the street from an open space preserve, and within a 12 minute drive of downtown Santa Barbara/ State Street area and beach. Christina was friendly, easy-going and accommodating, checking in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. Couldn't have been better. Thank you!

We had a great stay at Marty and Carey's place. It's a cozy place close to the airport, various restaurants, and many outdoor excursions. We also very much enjoyed the private neighborhood beach.

One of the best Airbnbs we have stayed in. Loved the cozy space and the location is superb to visit surrounding cities and explore the beauty of the area. Highly recommend this place.

Amazing mountain views in Montecito
Cute, clean, & quiet little place. Instructions and how-to's were clear, so I didn't really need anything throughout my stay, but the hosts had made themselves available and I knew if I needed anything, I could reach out to them. Thank you for making my short SB stay nice and relaxing :)

Bright Spacious Studio Near Beach and Downtown
Jonathan and the studio exceeded my expectations. He is professional and polite. The entire studio could have not been cleaner and more organized, filled with attention to details. Safe, great, centrical location. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Adorable Cottage with Private Patio
Overall, great stay if you’re planning a trip to Santa Barbara. Very close to all the local restaurants and fun activities. The place was nice and cozy. Felt like a small home away from home. Our host was very helpful and very concise with details of the stay. I recommend this place if you’re going to be in the beautiful city of Santa Barbara.

Opals Acres studio. TRU23-0114
I had the most wonderful stay at this Airbnb over Valentine’s Day weekend! The hosts were communicative, friendly, and welcoming, making the entire experience seamless. They went above and beyond by promptly helping me retrieve and ship an item I had accidentally left behind—truly outstanding hospitality! The property itself is an absolute gem—beautiful, peaceful, and wonderfully private. Waking up to the sounds of roosters and hens while being surrounded by nature (and the most adorable goats!) made the stay feel like a perfect countryside retreat. Whether you're looking to unwind, connect with nature, or simply enjoy a unique getaway, this place is a dream. I can’t recommend it highly enough and would absolutely stay here again!

Canyon Escape close to UCSB, the beach & golf.
I have stayed at several different airbnbs in the area, visiting my son at UCSB. Each one has been fine, but none as perfect as this one. Everything about our stay at Don’s was better than expected. The neighborhood is quiet and located in a beautiful, natural setting, conveniently located near everywhere we needed to go. The unit is clean and comfortable and does not feel as though it’s attached to someone’s home. The kitchen had everything we needed, including a nice bottle of red wine, which was thoroughly enjoyed upon arrival. The beds were so comfortable (loved the sheets) and the black-out shades helped us enjoy a longer sleep in the morning. Don checked in with us during our stay to make sure all was well. We’ve finally found our favorite place to stay when coming to visit our son at college :)

The Corner Cottage in the Village of Solvang
We were very pleased when arriving to the Corner Cottage. So thoughtfully designed, and a lot of attention to detail. There were a lot of helpful little instructions on how to use everything. The soaking tub is amazing as it looks! The location was very quiet and private; a perfect place to relax and unwind. It is also very convenient to Solvang and the surrounding area which was a considerable plus. Our hosts, Linda and Jeff, left a couple of local treats which were greatly appreciated and delicious to boot. They took the time to chat with us when we saw them and were immediately responsive with any requests or questions we had. We would not hesitate to stay at the Corner Cottage again if given the chance!

Mountain View - Serenity Minutes from Downtown
Jeff’s guest suite was lovely. It was extremely roomy, clean, and relaxing. There was a trail entrance nearby that was perfect for us and the dog to go for a stroll, and we loved the neighborhood privacy. Big thanks to Jeff for being a kind and generous host.

The Tiny Cottage — Studio Retreat for Two
I had an amazing stay at Jeff’s place! It was super clean, quiet, and felt like I was right at home. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area!

Hope Hacienda
Jane's place was perfect for us. It was well located, easy to access. Jane was extremely responsive when we asked to come one night early and she was able to accommodate us. The apartment was perfect with 2 bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom and the second bath located in the hall. The large living area was a comfortable space to relax. The pictures reflect the space nicely. We really enjoyed it and found the hosts very friendly in person when we met them quickly. Definitely recommend if you are looking to stay in the area.

Liv's place was great. Easy walking distance to the beach and the Funk Zone. Plenty of space and no hassles with checkin. Liv was very communicative and made sure we had what we needed.
