82 “ Pool, Jacuzzi , HOT SAUNA, VIEWS, Newer ADU!
We loved our time here! Not only were Darren and Laura wonderful hosts and communicators, but the property genuinely exceeded our expectations, the Airbnb was MORE beautiful in person than in the photos (hard to believe, I know), and the location of the neighborhood was incredible — high up on a hill of a beautiful and safe neighborhood. 😍 Only recommendation for future guests — book one extra day!! There is so much to do and such little time! We would’ve loved to have one more day to enjoy the Airbnb a little more. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Oceanfront Home & Private Beach Access
Joanna’s house was a wonderful place to stay with our family. The view is amazing, even better than the pictures, we were content to just sit and relax looking out at the ocean for most of the time. The yard was great for our dog to run around in, and the nearby beach was really fun to explore as well. We hope to return soon!

The Glass House - A Nature Retreat
Gorgeous stay in the hills of Ramona. Lisa was very responsive and often proactively reached out to us to resolve any issues. We had a great time

Coastal Cabin, with king bed, big deck, hot tub
The place was awesome. Beautiful scenery. We felt right at home. Ryan and James answered all our questions. If you are looking for a quiet getaway with beautiful scenery and all you need to be comfortable this is the place.

Retreat house. Nature, Hot Tub, Views!
This was my second stay at Meaghan and Derek’s property, just me and my dog, Oreo. It’s the perfect place to rest and slow down. The quiet, combined with the beauty of the surroundings, truly helps to cultivate a peaceful mind and leave you feeling recharged. Meaghan and Derek are wonderful hosts—you can genuinely feel the love and care they put into tending their property. It’s a special place, and I’m grateful to have returned. I can’t wait for the next time!

Dillon Beach Nirvana
Beautiful location. House was built mostly of wood, which was very appealing. Clean. Hosts were very nice and responsive. Minimum 30 minutes from shopping and restaurants with mostly two-lane winding roads to get to the major highways. The views were beautiful as you drive especially seeing so many animals roaming freely and feeding on grass. The drive can be wearisome. Wifi on the bottom floor was sketchy when I needed to use zoom for business. Also, there were high winds when we were there in mid-May making it feel colder due to wind chill. Overall, I'd give the experience 4.8 out of 5.

Close to the Lake & Village w/ Hot Tub & Fire Pit
This cabin was super peaceful & private since it is not directly on the street. There are steep stairs to get to the property which we didn’t mind. Everything was as described & we would definitely book again!

Sunset and waves from your private patio
This aprtment is a great value. You won't find a better ocean view at a lower price. The ocean-facing wall is all glass. On the extended deck you feel as though you're surrounded by the Pacific. Wonderful. We hope to return.

cute cottage walking distance to beach
Loved it here, only regret is not staying longer! Thanks for sharing this gem💞

Caboose in the redwoods just outside of Cupertino
Very thankful for this quaint experience! The kids loved the toys and the very kind neighbor helped make sure we had chargers for all the electric toys.

Bayfront Getaway ~ Incredible View ~ Pet Friendly
The rental.was exactly what we were looking for. It felt like home and was close enough to everything we wanted to see. Would definitely stay here again! (Also, loved the outdoor fire pit and view)
Rural 1 Acre Lakefront Location With Private Beach
Paulette was very helpful leaving plenty of instructions and suggestions for the area. The location was well kept and had everything we needed. The only problem was that some of the lights weren’t working or the light bulb was out but that’s an easy fix. Would definitely recommend if your looking for a quieter get away and enjoy being by the water

Unique Rock House on Redinger Lake
This place is on another level of beauty and privacy. Showed up. Gate was open. The ac was already on. Place was spotless. Ice maker full with ice (huge win!!) Sit on the deck and just take in the best view around. I gotta to hang for a few min at club red. The kayak around the lake was amazing. This is a top notch compound. Incredible the paradise they have built in the middle of nowhere!! Only negative was I had to leave. Thanks Joyce and tony for your hospitality. I will be back!!!

Secluded Ocean view Tiny House
Had a beautiful time. The inside is cute & space well used. The outside is amazing & where we spent most of our time. Our dogs loved roaming around then sunbathing. We had a great time cooking and playing with our daughter outside. Loved being elevated & seeing the ocean every morning.

Private | Saltwater Pool | Jacuzzi | View | 1k Rev
This Airbnb in Joshua Tree was the perfect peaceful escape. It was quiet, private, and surrounded by beautiful desert views. The space was thoughtfully decorated with a cozy, modern vibe that made it feel instantly welcoming. It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, from kitchen essentials to little thoughtful touches. I’d definitely come back for another relaxing getaway.

Mott's Cottage
This rustic cottage was so much fun to stay in! It felt very much like a cabin, but with all the good stuff like electricity and plumbing. The views were amazing, and my kids got a kick out of the cows just on the other side of the fence. We did notice some very small ants inside, as well as a few cobweb-y corners, but you’re staying on a working farm and that just comes along with it I think. It felt lived in and cozy, and for us that made it more enjoyable and easier to relax in. Definitely felt right at home!

Flamingo Rocks-Desert Oasis: Pool | Spa | Rec Room
This was such a great place to stay. A stylish, well equipped & well loved home in a really special location. Highly recommended. The only downside for us was the full moon that spoiled the star gazing!

Clear your mind in the country /minutes 2 the city
Very nice place for rest and relaxation. Renee was very responsive to our messages. I recommend this place if you want to rest. The washer and dryer is a plus!

Cornerlands
We had an incredible stay at this Joshua Tree retreat. The full-length glass windows offered breathtaking views of the rocky desert landscape—sunrises and sunsets were unforgettable. The pool was perfect for cooling off in the summer heat, and the entire space felt serene and private. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and the bathrooms were spotless and thoughtfully stocked with soap, shampoo, and conditioner. Beds were very comfortable, and the home was peaceful and quiet, yet just a 7-minute drive to the 29 Palms Highway. Highly recommended—would definitely stay here 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

Mountaintop poolside suite, sauna, views!
This place is increíble! Hosts were friendly and proactive. The pool was heated to a perfect temperature and the view is unbeatable. The recommendations for hikes and restaurants were spot on. My husband and I had an amazing little getaway and we’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, gorgeous place to stay!

El Bandito | Triangle Pool · National Park· Design
This past weekend, we had a wonderful experience in Joshua Tree. This house was truly picturesque and spacious, perfectly set in the desert nature. Every corner of the property invited relaxation, with spaces designed to enjoy the peace and tranquility that the surroundings offer. The triangular-shaped pool was a great feature, with an ideal size for cooling off and spending time with family. Additionally, the host was incredibly kind and always available to answer our questions. We were definitely very satisfied with our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking to escape to this beautiful place. We hope to return soon!

Cozy guest house in an Oasis backyard with pool
We stayed at Olia’s pool house over Memorial Day weekend and loved it. She is so accommodating and welcoming, and greeted us as we arrived. All the amenities we needed were provided and then some! We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and the beautiful outdoor space. Highly recommend for a relaxing couples getaway. We hope to stay again soon!

Mineral King Guest House
The view is outstanding and so close to Sequoia National Park! We loved eating our breakfast on the porch with the mountains in the background . Not to mention- bagels, juice, oranges were available for us in the refrigerator. That was a lifesaver ! Also, I forgot to mention to Sue beforehand about using the washer and dryer but she was able to make that happen - so thankful ! We stayed for 2 nights.
