Hidden Views is exactly what it is! Off the beaten path but among rolling hills but close to everything! Place was comfy and exactly as described…it had everything we needed. David checked in with us to see if we needed anything and that was much appreciated! Great communication with him. It’s a nice place to stay if you’re in the area!

We had an amazing time at Jeanne's place in Lompoc! The house was stocked with everything you could possibly need, and things you wouldn't even think to include! It was comfortable, homey, and the backyard is amazing for entertaining the kids and adults alike. The back room is so fun for hanging out and the kitchen was perfect for making meals at home. It was perfect for our large family and we never felt cramped with all the space to enjoy. Jeanne was so responsive and helpful with our questions, and the sweet touches like baked goods and wine to welcome us were so appreciated. The beds were super comfy, and there were more than enough towels and linens for everything. The house is up on the ridge to get beautiful sunsets, and walkable to Starbucks and stores. We would absolutely come back and stay in Jeanne's place again and highly recommend it to anyone staying in the area!

From the moment we arrived to the last morning, we were enveloped in such a warm and peaceful experience! Hot afternoon dip in the pool and cozying up to cool evenings was just what we needed! The perfect opportunity to unplug after a long week…and that outdoor shower was amazing!

We had such an amazing stay at this beautiful airbnb for our girls weekend getaway. The view from the backyard is absolutely stunning - the photos don’t do it justice. The pool was a comfortable temperature for a dip, even in mid-October, and we loved lounging on the comfortable patio furniture to watch the sunset. I have never stayed in more well-stocked airbnb; the large kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed and more, and we felt right at home there. The host was very welcoming and communicative, and check-in and check-out were a breeze. Our stay was absolutely perfect, and we would definitely stay here again!

Staying at Danna's place was an absolute dream. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely welcomed and at home. The location was perfect — close to everything, yet peaceful and quiet, allowing us to fully relax and recharge. Danna is an incredible host! She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, being super responsive throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and will definitely be back! If you're looking for a beautiful place with an exceptional host, look no further. Thank you, Danna, for making our trip so wonderful! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Gloria’s property is lovely, very comfortable with great bedrooms and comfortable beds. The house is in a lovely quiet neighbourhood, very peaceful especially for early morning walks. Some nice restaurants too within walking distance. I would definitely recommend the Italian near by “Cafe Bizou” You can take your own wine too!! Gloria responded quickly to emails, gave helpful recommendations and very accommodating for check in and departing. We would definitely recommend and stay with you again. Thank you for hosting Gloria. Best wishes Tracey & Family 🥰

Great stay in Fraizer park for a team retreat. Peter was friendly and met us at the property when we arrived to show us around. He was accommodating for our large group and one dog, and it was just what we needed to get the team together for the year! Thanks!
Home in Carpinteria
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 130 reviewsLoon Point Cottage
Had a great weekend there. Very clean and private. Very responsive host. Exactly what we were expecting. Spotless barbecue. The outdoor was awesome although a little noisy but we knew it will be. Inside quiet and clean. Just need to be reminded that bring your own coffee. Multiple coffeemakers but you got to bring your own coffee. Easy access to highway. Will go again if we travel to Santa Barbara.

My family absolutely LOVED staying at Shenna's treehouse. The decor was stunning and exactly our style. The beds were super comfortable. The location couldn't be better as it was a quick drive down the beautiful canyon road to the beach and really close to many restaurants and amenities. We spent every morning on the balcony with our breakfast and coffee enjoying the view. We would absolutely stay there again. Thank you!!

Home in Santa Barbara
4.83 out of 5 average rating, 298 reviewsHouse with Private Park by Beach - Zipline PetsOK
Rebecca truly deserves her super-host rating. She was extremely responsive and always helpful. Clearly she takes pride in the accommodations. Her aesthetic sensibility is evident by the many original artworks on the inside walls and by the colorful floral landscape that she has created on the outside, complete with birds, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The property itself features a large lawn (I'd estimate a half-acre+) with equipment for games and toys especially suitable for youngsters' entertainment. We had no children in our party but even the senior citizen in the group could not resist trying out the zip-line! The distinguishing virtue of the place is that is delightfully different than the all-to-common soul-less sleeping spaces that are found elsewhere. The place is eccentric in the best of ways.

What an amazing home, with pristine gardens and grounds and a comfortable, lovely and fully stocked interior. Honestly, pictures do not do it justice. It is breath taking and special. We did all the things as a family with a young child: fire pit with s’mores, hot tub, frog hunting, flower smelling and of course the tree swing! If we are ever in the area again, I would not hesitate to stay here.

Chico & Coco are epitome of generous, gracious hosts. We were greeted with a bottle of wine & delicious fresh fruit upon arrival. The landscaping brought joy to my heart from the banana trees to the sunflowers. The place was fully equipped with everything we needed & the bed was comfortable. I enjoyed reading on the balcony & walking my dog through their wonderful, friendly neighborhood. The location is close proximity to everything, walking distance to East Beach, a 7 minute car ride to Butterfly Beach, a quick car ride to state street. Overall it was an incredible experience & we hope to stay at one of their properties again/in the near future. Thank you CoCo & Chico, we wish you nothing but love, health & continued success!!!

Joel's place was perfect for our 2 night destination wedding stay. Joel responded immediately to our needs. His place is well appointed with a gourmet kitchen, coffee and a few little extras that made the visit special. The home is quiet and an easy 10 minute drive from Ojai. We would absolutely stay there again in the future.
Home in Carpinteria
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 22 reviewsAttractive 2800 sq ft 4 Br 3 Ba
Environment was very peaceful throughout the day. Just a note that you will be woken up by a rooster? or type of bird each morning around 5 am, so if you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs. I think there is a farm nearby. Surrounding is nestled up the hills of Carpentaria. There is a long driveway, so be sure to read specific instructions on how to get to the house. The house itself was just as pictured and spacious. There is a connected apartment to the house. Keep in mind that being in the woods, you will get lots of spiders and cobwebs, so be ready to clean that up so you don't get bit. The home does not have central A/C, so you may need to open the sliding doors if you want a good breeze. We weren't comfortable leaving sliding doors open all night, so we slept with floor fans on. Price was high for 2 days with all fees. Home looked like it was renovated and had new kitchen appliances. Steve was very responsive and provided descriptive instructions upon arrival. Thank you!
