Sweet One downtown Ojai
This spot is GREAT. It feels private, but it is still walking distance to everything fun in Ojai. It can be a bit tricky to find at first, but Tonya provides great instructions so I recommend reading those! Definitely would come visit again

Beautiful comfortable guesthouse
Our family of 5 enjoyed Christmas at Dana's beautiful apartment in Santa Barbara. The neighborhood is perfect location for quiet and a cozy comfortable location. The apartment has great views - much light from the many windows - kitchen well stocked - beds are comfy and we really felt at home staying there. The unit is roomy and we liked having parking on the premisis. Full laundry room was a huge benefit. I recommend this for all ages and occasions. Dana was responsive to our only two requests: help with the Apple TV.

Casa al Mare Private Cottage
very nice place to stay, super cute, easy street parking. Was perfect for a few days with half kitchen and studio feel. 10 mins from the harbor.

Your Own Private Refuge on 10 Acres in Santa Ynez
Jeanne’s cottage was an excellent place for our little group of 3 and 2 dogs, a quick drive to SY and perfectly located for road biking. There is so much wonderful space to wander on the grounds and perfect lawn for dogs to romp around. The cottage is thoughtfully furnished and the kitchen is well stocked. Jeanne and her husband were so nice and made us feel right at home. Without question one of the most dog friendly Airbnb I’ve ever stayed!

Modern Studio with Hot Tub by beach
What a great Airbnb in the heart of Ventura. Everything in the home reflected perfection and quality. We loved it. Great cafes walking distance and really peaceful and lovely neighborhood. Highly recommend.

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!

Creekside cottage studio near Miramar beach
What an outstanding cottage! The space is so comfortable and thoughtfully furnished and the hosts couldn't have been more gracious. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces reserved for the unit - an upper deck as well as the garden patio. We hope to return on our next visit.

Riviera View Cottage - fast WiFi shelter in place
We had a great time at Ginger's place. It has a beautiful view, nice outdoor spaces, and is very comfortable inside. The air conditioning was great as it was in the 80s and even above 90 for part of our stay. Ginger took care of the few small problems we had right away. The location was great, 5 minutes to State St. and 15 minutes to great beaches where we could take our dogs. Prices in Santa Barbara have gone way up in recent years, but it was worth it.

Adorable Cabana with hot tub
Carola was an awesome host! Very responsive, flexible, and nice. The place was extremely clean. Very welcoming and always checked in on us to ensure we were good. I haven’t left a review in a long time but this place was a great experience. 10 stars!

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.

NEW! Oceanview Studio! (Full Kitchen)
The property is really pretty! Being on the hillside and overlooking the ocean was beautiful and added the perfect touch to our short vacation!

Peaceful Montecito Cottage on Gated Property
Ein unvergesslicher Aufenthalt im Highdeaway! Wir hatten das große Glück, im wunderschönen Highdeaway von Amy und Steve zu übernachten, und es war einfach ein Traum! Schon bei unserer Ankunft wurden wir mit selbst gebackenen Keksen herzlich begrüßt – eine so liebevolle Geste, die uns sofort ein Lächeln ins Gesicht gezaubert hat. Das Haus selbst ist ein kleines Paradies: die gemütliche Terrasse mit den bequemen Sitzmöglichkeiten lädt zum Entspannen ein, umgeben von einer idyllischen Gartenlandschaft mit alten Bäumen und wunderschönen Pflanzen. Alles ist mit so viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet, dass man sich sofort wie zu Hause fühlt. Die Steinwege und die natürliche Atmosphäre haben eine ganz besondere, beruhigende Wirkung – perfekt, um dem Alltag zu entfliehen. Amy und Steve sind die besten Airbnb-Gastgeber, die wir je hatten! Sie waren unglaublich herzlich, aufmerksam und haben dafür gesorgt, dass es uns an nichts fehlt. Wir können es nur herzlichst weiter empfehlen ! Wir kommen wieder

Toro Canyon Coastal Casita Oasis
This was so wonderful, me and my family enjoyed it so much. They take care of the place very well and it was a warm welcome,

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.

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.

THE VENTURA COTTAGE - Charming Studio in Midtown
This was one of the best Airbnb places I've ever stayed! Easy and clear communication about checking in, a great neighborhood, thoughtful and beautiful touches like fresh flowers, snacks, drinks in the fridge, and a bottle of welcome wine. All the furniture, towels, bed and kitchen amenities were top notch, as if I was staying at a friend's place, not a temporary vacation rental. Beautiful space and yard, very private and quiet area, abundant street parking, and only a 5 minute drive downtown. Amy's will be my 1st choice from now on anytime I'm planning a trip to Ventura!

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.

Luxury Cottage w/ Ocean/Island View, Jacuzzi & A/C
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage and would happily book again! Even more charming and peaceful than the photos, the home felt spacious thanks to its open layout and stunning views. The outdoor amenities (jacuzzi, fire pit, and more) were easy to use and made the stay extra relaxing. Just ~10 minutes from downtown Santa Barbara, the location balanced convenience with privacy. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, with clear check-in instructions and well-curated touches throughout the home (from board games to a fully stocked spice rack). One of my best Airbnb experiences to date.

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!

Mesa Flat with Ocean & Island Views
Aldo’s place is as described, nice, clean, equipped with high-end appliances and finishes, and great patio with ocean views. We feel welcomed and right at home. We are within a few minutes of walking distance to SBCC, they have a vast lawn for our dogs to play, and have great views of Leadbetter Beach. I highly recommend staying at Aldo’s.

Tony’s Place - King, air conditioned, Private
Tony’s place was great for a couple of nights. Very private, plenty of space for 2 people and a great patio to sit out on. The Westside neighborhood is also great and convenient.

“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.
