Malibu PointDume Beach Access GolfCart Gym Hot tub
**An Amazing Stay!** We had an incredible five-night stay at this wonderful Airbnb after our wedding, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. The comfortable furniture and cozy atmosphere made it feel like a home away from home. We slept like babies in the super comfy bed! The neighborhood was fantastic, and we enjoyed surfing every day and indulging in delicious meals. You have to check out Malibu Brew Co and get a burger and a couple of beers. The hosts were exceptional—they clearly know how to run an Airbnb and made our experience unforgettable. This is definitely one of the best Airbnb’s I have ever stayed in. I very highly recommend.

Gracious Historical Cottage on Tranquil Estate
We had a blast during our stay. Beautiful property with a saltwater pool and hot tub. Thank you!!

Guest House Malibu Retreat w/ SALT pool Jacuzzi
Our stay here was quick, but just what we were looking for—peaceful and quiet. Our family of six stayed, and one reason we chose it was because each of our four kids would have their own bed. No pillow barriers needed haha. Speaking of beds, these were the *most* comfortable ones we’ve used at an AirBnB. The space was comfy, inviting, and super cool. We loved looking at all the music industry memorabilia, too; what a neat legacy for Michele to share with her AirBnB guests! One thing to note: the place is a converted garage so it is cooled and heated with a mini-split. It wasn’t turned on when we got there, and we wish it had been because it was a pretty cold, drizzly night (December) and took a long time to heat up. So if you stay here, maybe request that it be turned on in advance of your arrival. I’m sure the property management wouldn’t mind at all because they were nothing but accommodating and welcoming. Our big family felt lucky to find this place to stay while in the area.

Close to Heaven
This place is so beautiful, quiet, secluded and magical! It's about 12 minutes drive from the town of Pearblossom which is very small. It's a small gates area with only a few houses around, but we havn't seen anyone while we stayed there. It's 9 minutes walk from a natural park called "the devil's punch bowl" where you can hike and climb on rocks. We enjoyed it very much with our kids and dog. The house is great! It has lots of bedrooms and beds, fully stocked kitchen (very old appliances but they work), 2 fireplaces, many TV's, awesome play room and a wonderful Jacuzzi (strong jets). We spent time hiking, bathing, playing pool, watching movies and eating. This is a perfect place to check out from the world and enjoy family time. I will also mention that if you go outside early, you will see a few dears! There's a grocery store about 12 minutes drive, we brought a lot of food with us. Wonderful experience!

Mtn Retreat w/Hot Tub, A/C, Walking Trail, Playset
Great space! Our hosts went above and beyond! The cottage was decorated for Easter, a little Easter candy dish was left out for us, there were snacks, water bowls left out for our dogs, a fresh sourdough bread, and we were even given an anniversary card as it was an anniversary weekend getaway. Amazing hosts! We loved it and would stay again!

Delightful Guest House, with Spa, Pool, BBQ & Private Patio
MK is a fantastic host! Her place is in a wonderful, central location that allows you to easily get around LA which is saying a lot as LA can be a tough city to get around in. The home matched the description and photos. MK was very accommodating, flexible, kind, and responsive - thank you for a great stay!

Pirates of the Caribbean Getaway
This was our third trip to Darrell’s place in 2 1/2 years. We just can’t get enough! Each trip we add another night to our stay. We’re already checking our schedule for a trip back in October! This guest house is a tiny home, packed full of everything you need. We enjoyed cooking on the little two burner stove top, extra blankets for lounging around on the outdoor bed, mini fridge holds a lot, toaster oven, space heater for the chilly evenings, tv with cable and WiFi. Our favorite thing about this place is the feeling we get when we’re here. We’re instantly at peace. It’s calm and serene. We enjoyed working on crafts at the picnic table under the trees, listening to the deep wind chimes resonate throughout the property. Birds and other wild life are active and brought life to the experience as well as the flow of the many water falls. Darrell is really friendly, and generous. We’re so grateful that he offers this space to us to rent. Looking forward to our next visit!

Mariner's Cottage
We had the BEST time at Chase’s place. We loved the island itself, but felt very lucky to find such a fun and personable place that was full of character and wonderful amenities. We loved the hot tub, the beach items, the games, the office capabilities, the yoga items, the great water pressure, and on and on. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Chase!

Burbank Quiet Clean Private by Warner Bros & NYFA
My daughter and I had a fantastic stay. Everything was as described, and we felt completely at home. The location is perfect - quiet and safe. I enjoyed walking through the neighborhood and checking out all of the beautiful houses. The bungalow was very well-equipped with everything we needed. My only issue (which was only mine) was that cabinets were really high up for me (I’m only 5’0), but wasn’t an issue for my much taller daughter. The patio was also a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather we had. We will definitely stay here again when we’re visiting So. Cal.

Sunset Beach Cottage
Nicely laid out space. Plenty of room for 4 people and 2 dogs. All surfaces were clean and easy to clean. So many toys to use for the beach. Bikes, boogie boards, chairs and a wagon. Made it so much easier to pack. Great to have a laundry space. Parking was easy. Entering the place was easy. Ernie was very communicative. Loved the place. Will. Be back.

The Venice Love Lodge
We've stayed in a few different places in Venice over the years, and this is by far our favorite. It's a perfect space - well decorated with cool furniture, and every room felt just the right size. The kitchen was great, really well organized, and the bathroom / bathtub was clean and lovely (loved the bidet). Internet was fast and reliable, great for working from home like I did (and there are also tons of places - restaurants / cafes - to work out of nearby). Walking distance to my favorite gym, Barry's Bootcamp, as well as the grocery store. Great for kids because of the bathtub and the fenced in front yard. Would love to stay here again on our next visit!

Robin’s Nest artist haven, heaven for families
Unique little spot with amazing views. We were even able to get a bit of hiking in - Lisa gave us the inside scoop on how to walk from our lil trailer to the Topanga State Park trails. We spent some time in LA as well as Oxnard to go whale watching - couldn’t have been better situated to access all the good stuff and take some scenic drives (if you’re into that sort of thing). We are into that sort of thing. Well worth the money just for the atmosphere and nature (fell asleep to the croaks of the local frog population) though we didn’t see any. Comfy beds and restful sleep. Thank you!

South Pasadena Cottage Near Metro
Rooms are somewhat small but the cottage is charming, very homey, and quite comfortable. It had all we needed. We will want to visit again. The outside common area and chickens were a big hit with our grandkids when they came for a visit. The neighborhood is beautiful & quiet. Kristen was a great host.

Hilltop Garden Cottage Deck/View Reg# HSR23-002992
It was a pleasure to stay with Don. He was very friendly and responsive. The apartment was well furnished, comfortable and spotless. It is minutes from stores and several interesting areas and restaurants. We will stay there again if we need housing in Los Angeles.

Hummingbird Cozy Cottage, Garden, Treehouse, Views
What a great spot! There is a lot to do within walking distance but there are a lot of stairs to get to the main thoroughfare. The cottage was super cozy for a tiny house. The kitchen had amenities for the first morning which was helpful after a day of travel. We wished we had more time to spend there but there was so much to do in Ventura.

Storybook Cottage, Quiet Neighborhood / Yard, Deck & Hammock
We loved our stay at Callie's home. The area and house were very peaceful. The decor and comfort of the house is phenomenal. Loved it and would stay here again.

Charming beach home with AC: 300+ GREAT reviews!
We really enjoyed our stay over Spring Break. Loved the location. We counted 97 steps from the front door to the sand. Close enough to restaurants, the pier and easy to get to PCH and 55 freeway. It’s about 3/4 mile walk along the sidewalk to get to the pier and all the fun little shops and restaurants. Had some good donuts and tacos right close to the pier. Very clean and fully stocked with books, DVDs, games for kids and families,beach toys and more. Would definitely stay here again.

Lilac Cottage: Firepit/PlayHouse/3 blks2town
Great location and fun stay for kids! Host was responsive and helpful. We’ve stayed at Arlene’s other air bnb and she is always an excellent host. Definitely will return!

Conscious cottage,Ojai
This was a great gem and had everything we needed. George stopped by with some great recommendations for activities. Downtown Ojai is a few minutes by car. Hikes and meditation mount a bit further, but well worth it.

the SWELL Studio in the Heart of Downtown Ventura
My husband and I had a great 2 night stay here. The house is super cute and clean. The kitchen was very nice and easy to use. The location is convenient, we were like 2 minutes away from all the awesome thrifting and coffee! Elizabeth is a wonderful hostess!

Newport Beach Shack
Lovely spot by the beach; would stay again. Thank you for hosting us :)

COZY BEACH COTTAGe w/Bikes & Beach Pass
I had a perfect stay at Kathryns place. Kathryn was a wonderful host, communication was great and anything i needed was answered straight away. The cottage was very comfortable and super clean. It was very well equipped with everything you could need. The bed was very comfortable also. Kathrys place is perfectly located, it it in a nice quiet neighbourhood and yet only 10 mins cycle from the beach and shops. I found the bike that was available to use really handy, I used it every day! I will be returning to Huntington beach next year and will definitely be returning to stay at Kathryns place.

Remodeled beach home, sleeps 6-8. Steps to ocean
Lovely cozy place. Would stay again!

Million Dollar City View “Treehouse”
Kind hosts. Thoughtful. The space aligned with my whole being perfectly. Clean. Spacious. Big door windows, spaces outside to relax, meditate, eat, daydream. All appliances worked. A solid workspace. I was escaping home renovations and had a lot of consulting work to do during my stay. It was the perfect accommodation for my needs. And the view reminded me of childhood in LA. You won’t go wrong with this place.
