Mason House: Luxury Retreat with Pool and Spa
The house is such a peaceful oasis! Everything was well appointed with a lot of detail and thought put into the furnishings. We loved it!

Breathtaking Views Boho Chic Oasis by Casa Oso
We had such a perfect stay at Maja’s home! The view is incredible, and the various decorations around the place give it a very cozy vibe. There’s plenty of space and things to do that we never felt bored. On top of this, Maja is very kind and clearly communicated everything our group needed to know. Definitely hoping to return here someday!

When Only the BEST Will Do (True Ocean Bluff)
My husband and I stayed at Brian’s place twice, 9 years apart. Both times we found the house and its surroundings incredibly beautiful and calming. The house is full of details, history and stories. All of these transport you into another space where the time flows just right and the mind would relax and recharge.

Prism By The Cohost Company
Nice view and place

All Inclusive-Casa Tranquila amazing pool/ views
Such a beautiful home! Fully stocked with great amenities! The outside pool/jacuzzi were super relaxing with a serene view of the mountains and palm trees. Steve was also very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions we had. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Luxury Spa home w/ Huge Pool, hot tub & fire pits!
Beautiful place in desert but also not too far from town. Wonderful. Wish we’d had longer there.

We were comfortable, it felt like a home. Anything you need it’s there, aluminum foil, sugar, little condiments that are needed and here. All the tools for cooking, you got it. The pool is amazing and the views are breathtaking. We enjoyed our stay so much and I am thankful to have spent my time here. The rooms are spacious and the layout is very open. Labels above light switches to help find things. Large restrooms with great showers.

Ocean View Spa House
Rebecca was an excellent host. Her place was even nicer than the listing: Amazing views, comfy beds, awesome access to trails for hiking and delicious restaurants if you don't feel like cooking.

River's Edge Cottage Kernville Suite Fireplace
Staying at the River's Edge cottage was an absolute gem! Carol and Rod have done a wonderful job making it beautiful and relaxing experience. The attention to detail is unmatched. The outside terraces and river access makes the stay at the River's Edge the best! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and even caught TWO rainbow trout from the balcony! Thank you for such a fun weekend and we can't wait to come back here again!

Hilltop Oasis- heated pool & spa plus great views!
We had an unforgettable and magical experience. Upon our arrival, the home was easy to locate and get in to. The home was charming, peaceful, clean and most of all the backyard view was stunning as we had the backdrop of the mountains. The area is very peaceful and we felt very safe during our stay. It was convenient that Joshua Tree was only 20 minutes away. The hosts were available and easy to reach. We look forward to our future visits here!

Entire Hobby Farm, Surrounded by Vineyards
Highly recommended! This house is located in a private and quiet area. Once you get past the entrance gate, there’s a private road leading to the home, which offers a beautiful view to a neighboring field of grapevines. From inside the home, there’s a beautiful view to the fields. If you are in town for the wine culture, consider planning a visit to Willow Creek Wine Co., who offers amazing chenin blancs, and Union Sacre for ecclectic wines. Overall, great experience.

❤️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.

Big Sur Dream Home
Mary’s spot in Big Sur is absolutely amazing! There is something magical about Big Sur, and Mary manages to capture and harness that energy in her space- beautifully decorated, but also perfectly functional- from the well equipped kitchen to the hot tub, wood stove, and sleeping arrangements- no detail is overlooked. I look forward to returning whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Topanga DragonFly House + Creek & Trails
My girlfriend and I had a wonderful stay. Fallon was very responsive and accessible and made it seem we were at a hotel! It was a nice and affordable stay for the Cruel World festival.

Sunburst Ocean Retreat
We had a wonderful stay at Ted’s place. The home and grounds are stunning, and in a close location to a beach and short drive to town. Ted was very helpful and the trip went smoothly. Highly recommend!

Secluded Mojave Desert Eco-Pods
Mark and Chris’s desert pod was the perfect end to our journey through Death Valley, we loved how peaceful it was. The sunset and sunrise was the most enjoyable along with sleeping with windows wide open and showering with the views. Lots of cool rocks around too!

Oceanfront Home in Pacifica, CA
Great host, very responsive and beautiful place.

Wine Country Hilltop Retreat
Beautiful and relaxing stay! We loved it. Inside was so peaceful with the decor and the outdoors was so relaxing and quiet, with great scenic country views. Hosts was friendly and helpful.

Casa Ballena of the Lost Coast
The home was wonderful with well thought-out and creative details in every room. The beds were comfortable. The location and views were incredible. We spent the evening by the fireplace watching the sunset and then listened to the ocean waves and stargazed while sitting in the hottub. The stay made for an unforgettable experience for my family who had flown in to visit us and the area!

Pacific Gem - Jewel of the Bluff
Yet another spectacular stay on the cliffs of Pacific Gem! It feels like you are staying at your friend’s home while they are away. It’s just so wonderful. Which is why we visit at least 2x per year!

Modern Beach Retreat-Free EV Charging
Really enjoyed the central location and proximity to the beach, but also how secluded / quiet the house felt. The large sliding doors and large deck backed up to trees/nature was the highlight! Also the EV charger was a nice addition since we forgot to charge the car before heading out for the weekend.

The View House - Enjoy the Deck, Relax in Hot Tub
Thanks for hosting us, it was everyth8ng we needed!

Behold the Ocean: Spacious Home with Epic Views
Wow - this place has the best view of anywhere I’ve stayed. The house is located near the Russian Gulch area, just a few minutes from town. It is comfortable and is well appointed with everything one might need. Super easy check in and great communication. Did I mention the view? Breathtaking. If you are looking for a memorable stay, book now. Definitely recommend - you won’t forget it!
