Cozy Boho Beach Bungalow • Big Backyard • Dogs!
Great space both indoor and outdoor. Clean, comfortable and well stocked. Short walk to the beach and a great neighborhood bar. Host was very easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend and hope to stay again in the future!!

Ocean Breeze Beach Home
Great bedroom and bathroom set up. Kitchen was well stocked and there were lots of bath towels. Beach was just down the block. My family loved our stay!

Cool Cali Vibe - Barefoot Stepping Distance 2 Sand
Perfect spring break location with the kids. It was the first time they didn’t care about their iPads or screen time. We enjoyed every sunset and cooking at home with that gorgeous view. Thank you for such a lovely time

The Beach House at Silver Strand, Channel Islands
Wonderful home within walking distance to the Pacific Ocean. Convenience store within walking distance as well. Booking the place happened very quickly even as we were looking at the last minute. Response communications were very timely as well. The house was very cozy and conducive to our family getting together for my niece's graduation at CSU-CI. Loved that you can open the windows for fresh air. Beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed using the kitchen for home cooking and baking. Upstairs/outside deck was very nice, but we all preferred to stay inside the house. Totally recommend Jesse & Abha's home for your vacation get-away needs.

Newly Remodeled Surf Cottage Footsteps to Ocean
We loved our stay at David’s place! Just a short walk to the beach, it’s peaceful, beautifully decorated, and the beds are super comfy. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the kids were obsessed with the playroom. Our host was amazing—always available, incredibly kind, and made everything so easy, also very accommodating with our check-in. Such a great family spot—10/10, we definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back!

Lookout Beach House
Beautiful & peaceful place. Very clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Bikes and beach toys came in handy for the kids! The location is unbeatable, just steps from the beach! We very much enjoyed our stay! Little home away from home.

Ventura Coastal Cottage- steps from the beach!!
This place was perfect for our family of 4. The beach is at the end of the block. Easy walk to the grocery store, Starbucks and several restaurants. The home was clean and uncluttered and also had little extras like books, board games and laundry detergent. We used the beach chairs provided each night to walk down to the beach and enjoy the sunset.

Awesome Silver Strand Beach House steps to sand!
This place was amazing!! Beautiful and had plenty of room for my family to stay. The roof top patio made for the perfect dinning space. I would definitely stay at this location again.
Beach house rentals with a pool

A Shore Thing
Great location, hot tub and pool were really great, great family spaces. We had a great week there. Also, Melissa was very helpful in mailing me something I accidentally left behind in the house.

Beach House with Pool & Hot Tub!
We really loved staying at the house. Walking around the neighborhood, friendly people, and the beach cruisers came in handy. The location was near many places that we wanted to visit. We are looking forward to our next booking at this house!! Thank you again for all your assistance

Rancho Mesa Escondida adobe home on organic ranch
Hard to put into words how wonderful Connie’s home truly is. We brought our toddler and newborn along for our anniversary and had an incredible time lounging poolside, exploring the orchards and taking in all the beauty that surrounds the estate. Could not be happier with our stay. We truly felt made at home by their generosity. Will be back in the future for sure!

Malibou Lake Cabin (MA-3)
Ardie was very responsive and extremely accommodating. We were traveling for work and it was a very charming and elegant place to come home to after days of work. All of the furnishings and features were really nice. I would to come back to the Malibou Lake cabin, the scenery is beautiful and peaceful.

Goodland Getaway: Home w/ heated pool & hot tub
We loved our stay! Steve was very responsive and helpful. A very family-friendly home and neighborhood.

Family Home with Pool and Spa
Adam and Vanessa were superhosts! They were communicative and friendly, and when it was raining, they proactively reached out to remind us where we could find umbrellas in the rental. This was by far the most family friendly Air Bnb I've ever stayed in, I would recommend this place for any family with little ones! The kids loved the amenities, and the pool area. Close proximity to a grocery store and coffee shop was the cherry on top. Thank you Vanessa and Adam for a wonderful stay, we hope to be back!

Malibu Estate: 20 Acres, Large Pool & 360° Views
We had a great time! Robert is very easy to communicate with and the house is gorgeous. It was very clean and comfortable. The pool and outdoor area feel like Italy! Definitely want to come back soon!

Ranch living next to beach with Pool & Jacuzzi
This house is where you want to be!!! It is very cozy and comfortable. It has a great kitchen and we really enjoyed eating on the deck. The pool provided hours of fun for my daughters. The house backs up to a meadow where you can take magical afternoon walks. The host was very accommodating. It was the perfect spot to be. We will be back. :).
Private beach house rentals

Santa Barbara Beach Home | Spa, Enclosed Big Yard
Perfect house for us as we attended our daughters wedding in Santa Barbara. We needed 3 bedrooms as we had Grandparents, parents and younger daughter and her husband. Absolutely loved the location, 2 blocks from the beach. Perfect for early morning walks on the beach with my dog. We will definitely return to Santa Barbara.

Malibu BEACH Home Sunset on the Sand PRiVATE Beach
Great host. Wonderful location with beautiful views. Slept every night to the sound of the waves. Very clean house with spacious balcony. Stocked very well with basic and high quality necessities. Would highly recommend!

Iconic Providence Beach House on Linden Avenue
We fell in love with the cottage immediately. It is stunning. It is incredibly well-appointed with a lot of thought given to the needs of the guests. There was nothing needed that the kitchen did not have. It is in a perfect location—there was a farmer’s market on the street in front the house the day we checked in. Amber is on top of communications and responded immediately to any questions. Due to the bathroom situation (which Amber explains in the description) it is best suited for a large family (parents and young kids) or a girls trip. We will always cherish our time spent at the cottage—it was truly amazing.

Serenity by the Sea Ventura Beach Gem Sleeps 6
Beautiful home, kind and helpful host, and lovely location. The home is so thoughtfully outfitted, from comfortable beds and furnishings to a fully equipped kitchen. Many nice touches included coffee (both ground and beans for those who like to grind their own), tea selections, snacks upon arrival and bedside mints, and a garage full of bikes and beach toys from boogie boards to beach chairs etc. The landscaping in the backyard is a haven for songbirds and also for guests! Sitting out there with a cup of tea or coffee guarantees moments of serenity. Just a short walk to the beach and Pierpont village, and a short drive to downtown Ventura. We can't wait to go back! Thank you, Lisa, for being such an amazing host.

Silver Strand Beach Bungalow
Second time at this house and we love it..so close to beach, quiet, and parking. we will be back.

NEW! Beach Front Coastal Living
Absolutely wonderful experience! Glen was incredibly communicative, super accommodating, and very attentive to our needs throughout our stay. The home itself is absolutely beautiful and situated in an amazing location. The decor and layout were stunning, making everything feel so inviting and easy to navigate. We created unforgettable memories here, and if I could, I would happily rent this home year-round. It’s worth every penny and more! Highly recommend!

Malibu Architectural - Sea and Sky
Sarah and her husband were fantastic hosts ! super responsive . My boyfriend and I wanted to get away and it was exactly what we wanted. the views were spectacular. If you're looking to get away this Is the perfect private getaway . The location makes you feel like you actually left California and into a private beach-jungle hide out. Everything inside is contemporary and the best part is the beds are amazing ! Will definitely be returning !

New Home - Malibu 4 Bedrooms, Private - Ocean View
Rick’s place is in a quiet, secluded, location on top of a hill. Roads were clear and navigation systems had no problem finding it, even when it gets dark outside. One thing to note is that there are no window treatments, apart from the two windows next to the front door. This could be a potential issue for groups of friends or mixed gender stays, as you can see into the shower from the main balcony. Other than that, the place is a fantastic retreat.
