Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Ballard

A peaceful oasis in the middle of town, the attention to detail in this home sets the bar high.

I am so thankful and blessed to have found an air bnb in Taft. My sister and the rest of the family were just down the street. We came out for a wedding and needed a private relaxing retreat for our family after long days of visiting. This place was perfect!! Wendy was so kind and responded quickly to all of my questions. The place was clean and comfortable! Awesome job, Wendy! Thank you!!

A great find for a quick night! Ila was timely in responding and flexible! Definitely recommend.

Laurie is an amazing host that was readily available when I had questions and left us lovely notes and instructions when we arrived. The home is beautiful and great for a week or weekend getaway with family or friends. My family loved the place and there were no complaints. We would definitely select this location again and we recommend it to anyone who wishes a lovely stay.

My daughter and I had a wonderful long weekend girls get away in Los Olivos staying at Jeanne’s beautiful home. Close and easy walking distance to everything in town, yet private and quiet at home, the home had everything we needed and more. Extremely comfortable beds and linens! My daughter and I had a fabulous time and would definitely book this beautiful home again! Thank you!

This Air B and B was very thoughtfully maintained, and a great find! Sleeping accommodations were very comfortable. Great spot to stay if you plan to be out and about for the day!

We had a short but beautiful stay at Matt and Linda's place on our way to Pinnacles National Park :)

“Great stay! The place was clean, cozy, and just as described. Robin was responsive and helpful. Would definitely come back!”

David greeted us upon arrival and, after that, we had privacy in the two-story guest house...which is the size of many homes! The mattresses were so comfortable that my wife wants to know where to get one. The views are lovely, plenty of space for the 4 of us and 3 bathrooms! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return again...

I had an amazing stay at Whitney's home! The space was beautifully decorated, clean, and incredibly comfortable. The location was perfect - a short drive to the stunning coastline I loved relaxing in the backyard, which was a peaceful oasis. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking to explore San Luis Obispo.

We had a great time, perfect space for our group (13 people). Plus, we super appreciated the baby amenities they had available. The crib, changing table and high chair made my husband and I’s life a lot easier. They communicated well when we had to call with a time-sensitive question & answered on the AirBNB messenger in a timely matter.

Hilary’s home is absolutely beautiful and unique. We loved all the art and furniture. The property was very well maintained. We would definitely stay here again.

We found this rental to be perfect for us. It is a great location that allows you to get to Los Olivas and Solvang waist by car or electric bike. The home itself is stunning, great kitchen, good beds, very clean and just felt homey. Host was attentive and kind and went over and above.

Jennifer is an extremely hospitable and generous host! She was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay and always with a friendly demeanor. We had a fantastic time at the Fantastical Cottage! Jennifer's place is truly magical and my wife was constantly thinking she was in a wonderland! Very much looking forward to returning some time very soon.

Diane and Mike’s place is like a private little paradise. It’s quiet and peaceful. The view of the sunrise from the bedroom window is nothing short of breathtaking. Nights are clearly visible and gorgeous. You can even occasionally see the rockets from Vandenberg SFB. 10 min from the beach and hundreds of trails. Diane & Mike are incredibly kind and generous, with homemade scones to greet arriving guests and sweet bowls of fresh fruits & veggies from the garden on my doorstep, like a secret garden fairy. Oh, and Bear!! What an absolute love he is! Being here is like winning the lottery. You’ll never want to leave. It’s an incredible thing to find the right match between a peaceful long-term stay and budding new friendships.

We absolutely loved staying at Nate’s yurt. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the outdoor kitchen was perfectly equipped, the compost toilet actually smelled nice (I was dreading this the most), the land is BEAUTIFUL, the animals were adorable, the hammock was comfy, the campfire was perfectly sized… did I mention that we loved staying at Nate’s? =) He was a perfect host and the eggs were delicious! It’s clear the space is maintained with love and care to detail that only comes when people are passionate about something. Nate and his partner have created a lovely space for people to come relax and enjoy — free to be whoever they want to be and relax away from the pressures of life to enjoy nature and good company. Definitely bring your groceries and earplugs (roosters are active). I hope I get to return soon! I might even bring my daughter next time. I know she’s love the petting zoo and short hike on the property.

Great location for walking to downtown SLO and Farmers Mkt. Quiet, peaceful. VERY Comfortable bed and I am picky about beds. If soft is your requirement this is it. Diana called us the morning we checked out because we had left a book bag. we were so grateful to be able to return before the cleaning gal left and pick it up.

My wife and I planned a visit to Sequoia, but when we got there smoke from a wildfire made it untenable. I contacted Heike, at the last minute, because we figured we'd head to the central coast. She responded immediately. And, lucky for us, the place was available. It's right next to a tiny airport (but you hardly hear any sounds and it's fun to watch a few small planes, e.g. Cessnas, take off or land. It's across from a park. There's a diner that's walking distance away. Pismo Beach, perhaps two miles away, has everything you'd want from fine dining to markets. I've never been to Oceano before. Now, I'm sure we'll go back. It's quieter than places like Morro Bay and SLO. The unit itself is a bit cramped, but not in a bad way. There's three bedrooms and two baths, and it's a two-story unit. I recommend Heike's place whole heartedly. She's super responsive. When one of the TV remotes didn't work, she had batteries delivered because she was out of town! Signed, Alan K

This was our 2nd time staying at the Wine Country Cottage. The kitchen is well stocked, plenty of Keurig coffee flavors. Two miniature donkeys, Jack and Henry have moved onto the property. You are greeted daily by them & Erin provided a bag of their favorite veggies. There is an orange tree that you are able to pick from for some fresh Vitamin C. The porch is our favorite spot, a peaceful and tranquil sitting area to listen to the small fountain’s running water. The firepit and porch string lights contrast the dark sky and allows for heavenly star gazing. Enjoy a cup of coffee listening to nature & watching the cows grazing in the fields. From the porch you may catch a view of a Space X rocket launched from the Vandenberg SFB. The property is a short drive to Solvang for the best Danish pastry treats and other great eateries. Wine Country Cottage is the perfect place to relax, unwind and take in the uniqueness of Solvang and the surrounding wine country. Erin is a super host!

The Bee Cottage exceeded our hopes. It was delightfully quaint and so relaxing. It is perfectly situated in the valley to easily explore the many hidden treasures.

Janet’s place is everything I expected and so much more! The small cottage makes you feel welcome, the attention to details from the fresh flowers and orchids, to the beautiful inside decor, to the amazing landscape that makes you feel secluded and comfortable. We were welcomed with a bottle of great wine, and breakfast items for the first few days which makes it so convenient. The bird bath that is visible just outside the window and from the dining table, I could just spend hours watching them. The house is close to downtown and we walked everywhere from there. It was a great experience and will be staying here again when traveling to Santa Barbara

Beautiful scenery! The donkey and goats were so sweet and enjoyable to watch.

Rick and Lynne are extra friendly hosts who went out of their way to make sure our stay was amazing. They introduced themselves and gave us some great local recommendations. Their house was comfortable and everything we needed was anticipated and set out for us. With three young children, I always look for an Airbnb with a nice yard for them to play in and Rick and Lynne's home had that, with a little playhouse, balls, bubbles, legos, and a great selection of children's books for various ages.

Judy met us at check in and she was friendly and pleasant to talk too. She stays on site in a separate area of the property. Although she was available by phone at any time that you needed her, she was out of site the whole stay. Check in was very easy as was checkout. The property was in a great neighborhood and was close to downtown Orcutt, where we dined out a lot. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in the area. Great restaurants and wineries.
