Pine Haus | Lakefront • Kayaks • Hottub • Dogs
Loved staying here! Its was small and cozy and had beautiful views. Easy instructions for check in and check out!

The Cottage Getaway by the Sea
We were looking for a special place for our 40th wedding anniversary and this cottage far exceeded our expectations! it was simply beautiful! and our hosts were incredibly helpful. we hope to return again

Rock Rose Cottage, Cozy & Peaceful
It was a very cozy stay, nestled in a serene area right near the ocean. I really appreciated the attention to detail and the individual pieces of consideration, including the lovely music that played as we entered the cottage. It really set the tone for such a nice and peaceful stay.

Casa Del Mar Spectacular Ocean Views!
My husband Josh and I had an unforgettable time at Cindi’s place in Sea Ranch. The home was even more beautiful than the photos—unique architecture, cozy design, and right on the beach. Every evening we watched the waves crash on the rocks just outside the window. It was peaceful, stunning, and truly magical. Cindi was a fantastic host, super helpful and kind. We’re already dreaming of coming back!

Studio Oceanview King in Beachfront Apt (207)
Great stay at Marabella! The views were stunning from our room! Located right on the water, walking distance from many shops and restaurants. The patio was nice and grounds were well kept and clean. The beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and outdoor shower was definitely appreciated. It was perfect!

Cosmo Beach: Riverfront Sanctuary
We loved the property and its proximity to the water and two large beaches. The house itself is thoughtfully decorated and has the furnishings and supplies just like it would if someone actually lived there rather than the typical Airbnb “shell” that only has the bare necessities (or less). We did have an unfortunate complication that occurred when we arrived. Things happen, but what matters more than anything is how a host handles an unexpected event. Jay was kind, understanding, and empathetic and did everything needed to make things right. We will absolutely be back.

❤️Pebble Palace! OCEANFRONT! HOT TUB! WOW VIEWS!❤️
What an amazing property! It’s easily one of the most gorgeous homes I have stayed. I saw the photos and came in with high expectations but the view is even better in person. The rooms are spacious, clean and the theme is so cute. It’s so walkable in the community and so many good spots from the beach, short trail down the block, and a longer trail to the lighthouse. It’s 10mins from Mendocino and 10mins to fort Bragg. Super convenient. It’s so comfy of a place, I almost didn’t want to leave and just stay back and enjoy the view. I took advantage of the backyard and made a fire- made s’mores and hotdog. Made wonderful memories here.

Navarro Property - hot tub | beach | dog friendly
Absolutely stunning property, I could stare at that view for the rest of my life. The main home is gorgeous — still full of it's original details with renovated bathrooms which make it feel completely clean and fresh (a challenge with some of the old wooden cabins in the area). We also loved having two seperate buildings — great for people who are light sleepers or want to sleep in for longer in the morning. I would love to come back here someday, it's truly magical.

Upscale condo with Rooftop Deck & Ocean View!
Great stay. Plenty of room for a family of four. Very clean with everything you could need. We spend a lot of time enjoying the roof top view. Loved the convenience of the beach toys locker. Enjoyed walks to Harbor Village for fish and chips and breakfast at the Stratford. Sea lions were a fun bonus. Would definitely stay again. Top notch hosts!

Design & Style with White Water View
Our second stay, and just as wonderful as last time. The views are unbeatable, and the ability to walk to the lodge is an amazing benefit (I loved being able to grab a coffee there in the morning, or knowing I could have a few drinks and walk home!). Beds were comfy. To note, the blinds in the rooms aren’t blackout so the mornings are bright — but ideally you’re up then anyways to enjoy the gorgeous views!

Honeymoon Cove Catalina Ocean view with golf cart
Very amazing experience with these house. And immaculately clean property. Felt safe. Great location and great view. Would definitely stay again.

Breathtaking Views-Steps to Sand, Beach Resort
"Just Beachy" is a fantastic, absolutely clean accommodation with an exceptional location right on the beach. Everything you need is there...and more. Contact with Lorraine was always "just in time" and provided all the necessary information, and the digital guide also contains everything you need about the entire complex. "Just Beachy" is highly recommended without exception! Thank you, Lorraine, and best regards, Annika & Noël

Private Casita Room at Terranea Resort
First and foremost, Anna is an incredible communicator. We greatly appreciate that as we booked last minute and she was able to get us set up. She’s so understanding and quick to help out. The place was clean and just as explained. Awesome stay at an awesome resort. Definitely going to stay at her place again.

Rancho Relaxo / Spacious Detached Guest House
my daughter and I stayed at Susie and Britt's poolhouse for 6 nights when we were in the San Diego area for a wedding. At first we thought we would look for a beach rental but then heard that it can be foggy on the coast during May and June and going 5 miles inland can make a big difference with weather. we looked in Rancho Sante Fe because that we where the wedding venue was located and we really hit the jackpot! Everything is just as described- very relaxing times in the jacuzzi and by the fire pit in the evenings. The travel to the surrounding SanDiego sights was super easy. Highly recommend this rental!!!

Couples Retreat Beachside Studio, King Bed
The beach was literally within steps! We were looking forward to having a relaxing trip - which we did. I loved that beach chairs and coolers were provided had we needed them. Assigned parking made me feel safe.

Oceanfront Elegant Condo - Remarkable Amenities
Very nice place. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow. If ever in San Diego again, my family will definitely stay here again.

Juniper Point Cottage Waterfront
It was an adventure from the moment you turn on the dirt road with spanning lake views; we pulled to Juniper point. We were warmly greeted upon arriving and told of all the amenities we could enjoy while on the property. This included life vest for our small children, kayaks, paddle boards and a playground! Our cottage was well decorated with great views and lighting, efficient AC and accouterments expected in a working kitchen. With the aroma of a clean environment we were satisfied with the upkeep between guest. We totally recommend this place and look forward to visiting again in the near future. The host is very helpful and easy to communicate with. Just a great time vacationing at this property!

Safe and Serene Beachfront Sanctuary! (Mermaid 1)
This was our 3rd stay in Mermaid 1 ! We truly enjoy everything about this beautiful Airbnb! It’s clean, welcoming and across the street from the pier and then chit chat cafe (they have great chai lattes) The ocean is right outside your window and just steps outside your front door! Best feature…..The back yard! It’s my absolute favorite places to sit , relax and watch the waves, you can feel the mist on your face and it’s just perfect ! The house has everything you could possibly need durning your stay . Definitely Our favorite Airbnb by far, so far! Thanks Carlos for another amazing getaway!

Tomales Bay: Tranquility, Bay Views, Kayaks &
Our stay in Debra’s home was fantastic. My friends couldn’t stop saying thank you for finding this beautiful home. Right on the water, beautiful views, very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed every minute

Private retreat on Mendocino oceanfront property
Incredible spot, truly a perfect North Coast getaway that is even better than the pictures make it out to be. Maria was super sweet and responsive, and the check-in/check-out process was very simple. We will be back.

On the Ocean with unbelievable views
Ten Stars! Ron and Donna provided us with exactly what we were seeking -an exquisite oasis shaped by comfort, convenience, quality, a quiet ambiance, and the healing that comes with ocean breezes and sounds. Our three nights were perfect. We soaked in the ocean breezes, sounds, sun and birds while also savoring the luxurious setting they created indoors. We will be back!

Sea Mist Cottage | Coastal Charm w/ Stunning Views
Great place and location. The hot tub with a view of the water and the stars is everything. We have stayed here before. It is a favorite. Unfortunately, a work crisis interrupted our stay, but we will be back. The local restaurant Tony’s Seafood was apparently bought by Hog Island and the oysters and the clam chowder are to die for. Rachel was our server and couldn’t have been nicer. I recommend purchasing groceries and libations in San Rafael or elsewhere before you get there. Enjoy.

Luxury Ocean Front & Harbor View Home
The place was beautiful and everything was very smooth for our short stay, don’t have anything bad to say. It was lovely

Tahoe Cabin on River in Breathtaking Hope Valley
This cabin was the perfect birthday getaway. Beautiful inside and out. Clean space all around, fully stocked kitchen with working appliances. The outdoors area was a dream and really made it much more memorable. Sleeping spaces were comfortable and clean. Plenty of firewood for the fire pit. Can’t wait to visit again!! Don’t forget to add your note to their memory notebook. They were so fun to read!
