House with Private Park by Beach - Zipline PetsOK

4.83 out of 5 average rating, 305 reviews1 week ago

We had a wonderful time at Rebecca's place. We had a family and friends reunion with children and pets, and the space accommodated all of our needs well. The kids played endlessly outside on the zip line, and the dogs had lots of room to run in the awesome, large yard. We liked being a bit removed from downtown Santa Barbara (5 min from upper State St. and 10 min from Stearns Wharf), and the neighborhood was really quiet and peaceful. Dog-friendly Hendry's beach was a short drive down the hill or a nice jog along the bike path. Unit was very clean and had everything we needed. No need for TV's for us. Between the games, the beautiful big yard and SB nearby, we had a great time!

Ohana Ranch Cottage

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 122 reviews2 weeks ago

We had a great stay at the Ohana Cottage! It was very peaceful and we enjoyed feeding the farm animals with Chris. If you want to spend time in the Santa Ynez or Los Olivos areas this is the place to go as you feel far enough to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, but close enough to all the towns to enjoy everything. Melani was very responsive and helpful host, can’t wait to come back again soon :)

Secluded Ocean view Tiny House

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 404 reviews2 weeks ago

Dane’s spot was an awesome place to getaway for a while! Me and my girlfriend really enjoyed the view and the ability to open up all the windows and take in the fresh air! The deck was nice and we had an amazing grill to use! You are about 10 minutes from the local town and beach, and about 15-20 minutes away from Santa Barbra/Ventura. Over all it’s a pretty relaxing stay, and would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys quiet time and nature! I would also recommend bug spray:)

Staying at this Airbnb was a true delight! Linda is an exceptionally gracious host, and the space itself was immaculate. I especially appreciated the thoughtful note detailing the home and nearby attractions. The beautiful antiquities added such character, and the tranquil garden and sunroof provided a wonderfully peaceful escape. Its convenient proximity to the CalPoly campus made for easy walks, and the reliable internet allowed me to work seamlessly. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Serenity by the Sea Ventura Beach Gem Sleeps 6

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 106 reviews1 week ago

We could not be happier with our stay at Lisa’s beautiful home in Ventura! My husband is always very skeptical of renting homes as opposed to staying at a hotel, and even he kept saying “Ok this was an excellent find” Everything about the house was as described and Lisa went above and beyond in making sure the house was ready and comfortable for us, even getting the pack n play set up and ready for use for our 1 year old. The kids bunk room, board games and puzzles, safety covers on every outlet, baby supplies and an abundance of beach toys and gear all helped make this an absolutely perfect spot for families. We were so close to the beach it was no problem at all taking 3 small kids there and back multiple times, and the little main street with a couple restaurants was less than a 5 minute walk away. Instructions were all so clear, the backyard was awesome to hang out and enjoy dinner at, and the entire house was so clean and comfortable. My family is already begging to book it again!

Ocean View Cottage

4.78 out of 5 average rating, 375 reviews1 week ago

My mother and I stayed here with her doggy, and we were very comfortable. Ian‘s place is just as described with an amazing view really easy access to the freeway as well as an alternate route through Montecito so we had no problems getting anywhere. Little downtown Summerland is Quaint and a fun walk with good eats, shops, and coffee. Part of our visit was going on lots of beach walks and we were right between all the great beaches from Rincon out to Goleta. We did not make use of the patio. We were out and about quite a bit. Would definitely stay here again. Ian is also a very friendly and responsive host.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Vince & Emily's place was perfect for our family of four (two little ones). This was our first time visiting Avila Beach and the location was perfect, walkable but also private and peaceful for nap times. :) The place was stocked with everything we would need including a baby gate for the stairs, laundry pods, etc. Thank you!
