Oceanfront Boho Retreat - Pacific Sunset Views 🌅🌊🐳
Beautiful space that was well appointed. The home was super clean. Al was an attentive host, answering any questions we had. This location is special. Beautiful ocean front sites and sounds and at the same time being close to the city and the airport. We had a great time relaxing in the backyard, hiking up Mori point, and visiting the pier. Welcoming destination, would recommend for a relaxing getaway.

Lakefront Cabin | Beach-Deck-Epic Views | Sleep 10
Great place to gather with family and friends. The house was well equipped and kitchen was well stocked and very clean. Rooms and bathrooms are a bit on the smaller side but the common areas are spacious and cozy. The house has just amazing views of Lake Tahoe. We absolutely enjoyed staying here.

Ocean View - Casa Balena
Great stay for a low-key gathering of friends which included a few young children. Spacious common area was great for everyone to be able to hangout together. Kitchen was well-equipped; we cooked a few meals. The neighborhood is peaceful and beautiful. Responsive and friendly host. Flexible checkout. Would stay again!

Costa Del Sol
Great location near Jedediah Smith and Prairie Creek State Parks. Amazing ocean views. Fit our family's needs.

Luxury Beach House - Game Room & Hot Tub
My family had a great time . The house is beautiful and the location couldn’t be better . Thank you for helping us make amazing memories.

Family Beach Cottage
What a beautiful and special space. We had a wonderful and relaxing weekend. The house was ideal for cooking together and enjoying the views while having great conversations.

🍀Escape - Brand New Modern Chic Coastal Retreat🍀
We enjoyed a one night stay at the house to celebrate a milestone birthday at the coast. The house was lovely and well appointed, the directions were clear and friendly, and the location was amazing. After playing on the beach, we relaxed with wine on the balcony grilling dinner and watching the sun set over the water. The stay was the perfect balance of luxury celebration and low key cozy for us.

Oceans Edge is Ocean Front!
Laid back living in this seaside home! Views are just stunning from the living room and lower floor. Seaside deck wraps the entire west end with access to beach just steps away. The real attraction of the home! Rainy days did not keep us from exploring tides and boulders every day. Community was quiet and i enjoyed running multiple times. Kitchen was well stocked and the family cooked multiple times. Crescent City boast multiple restaurants to choose from and we tried many of the recommendations in the guide book. Easy access to the natural wonders of the Redwood forests, with the amenities of a seaside town. A fantastic family vacation!

Casa Del Mar, Spectacular Ocean Views!
Wow! This home has an exceptional setting - the spectacular views of the ocean from the great room are mesmerizing. The master bedroom and lower level bedrooms all have gorgeous views of the ocean as well. The Ocean Bluff Trail passes right behind the house, making it so convenient to explore the coast. Great for nature lovers - we saw seals, deer, rabbits, fox, and many varieties of sea birds. Also the home is pet friendly and our dog loved it! Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

Award-Winning Forest Getaway: @thesearanchhouse
Beautiful house, with amazing forest views out the large windows. I loved the wifi speakers that could play throughout the whole place, including one that was battery powered and could be moved around, and sounded great. Well-maintained hiking trails start right out your door through the forest, and can go all the way down to the beach. Very comfortable bed. Fast wifi. Lovely decor. Great selection of coffee equipment. Floor heaters in bathroom and kitchen are appreciated on cold mornings. Hot tub was great; plenty of space for 3 people to stretch out, more than that will get cozy. Very private location -- there is one close neighboring house but it was vacant during our 1 week stay. Doesn't get a ton of direct sunlight due to all the beautiful towering trees around. Some forest maintenance was happing on weekdays during the day which was mildly annoying noise but not the host's fault. Recommend checking out Gualala Point Regional Park, was a nice easy walk with fun views.

Seaward Bliss ★ (Private Hillside Retreat)
We stayed here for our 23rd anniversary, and this home exceeded our expectations. We normally stay bluff side, but I'm glad we didn't. Pauline has put so much thought into making this the perfect get away and the layout is ideal for a couple looking for a quiet and private retreat. We loved the hot tub, views, fireplace (which worked great ;-) and the wonderfully comfortable beds. Many whale spouts and great dinners at the Vue and Sea Ranch Lodge where we charged our car.

Stunning Modern Sea Ranch Stay
Came back for a second stay, and was as wonderful and peaceful as we remembered it to be. The home is an incredible retreat - great views, and everything we needed for a relaxing two days away from the city. Appliances are top notch, and everything is thoughtfully laid out. Carolyn is a very thoughtful host, and quickly answered questions we had. Would recommend this home for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway, and we would love to be back again in the future!

Sea Ranch Serenity
The home was laid out well for our expanded family. The bathrooms were large and updated. The beds were extremely comfortable! We loved the view and the quick walk to the coastal walking trails. Our hosts were very attentive and provided lots of detailed information so that we could enjoy our time.

Heron House on The Sea Ranch
Deldi is an excellent host. Great communication and always easy to contact. The home is in a great location. Two minutes to the bluff trail and you can sit on the balcony with a glass of wine looking at the sun setting over the ocean while deer graze in the front yard. Magical!

SeaHorse Retreat: ocean views, tall trees, privacy
Wonderful stay - I was looking for a peaceful comfortable retreat in a very natural setting, but with enough amenities to entertain and care for small kids. This was perfect! The kids enjoyed the beaches in the area, the hot tub, making smores at the fire pit and playing in the home. The dog run was great for our dog's potty breaks without getting lost in the woods and the whole Sea Ranch area is super dog friendly. We had a great time! Hope to come back.

Manzanita House: Modern + cozy oceanfront oasis
Exactly as described. The house was clean and beautifully located on the shoreline in Sea Ranch. Enjoyed walking along the bluff trail, watching whales spout from the living room, and exploring the local coffee shops and few restaurants.
Private beach house rentals

Beach Bungalow - Oceanfront and Private Beach
Great private getaway. The place is much bigger than the pictures look and it was very cozy. We were there during the bomb cyclone and we didn’t lose any power and the house was a perfect place to be protected from the storm. The beach access was great and with the limited people who have access was great to explore.

Blessed Beach House 200 steps from the Ocean
Loved our stay and the proximity to the beach was the best. 5 min walk and beach was great. House was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was great to cook in and bbq too. Highly recommend. Loved our time in Monterey exploring Pacific Grove and Carmel and pebble beach.

Coastal Paradise - 5min walk to beach!
It was such a wonderful girls weekend away in Bodega Bay. The place has the most beautiful views and it is a short walk to the beach. Everything in the house was nice and in order and the hot tub was amazing. The views and location are hard to beat! I hope to be back.

Beautiful Beach House steps from the Beach
The house is absolutely amazing. It’s a short drive to restaurants and shops. The walk to the beach is only a couple of minutes. The ambiance of the house is warm and cozy. So many amenities were available including the indoor fireplace, the outdoor grill and fire pit, as well as bikes for the family. The outdoor space is perfect for dining. Even though it was a bit cold, the outdoor heater made it warm enough to stay outside at night. The host was extremely helpful and welcoming. Absolutely loved the house and we really hope to come again.

Ocean View River to Sea Beach House
This was the perfect house for our family. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds comfy. The living room on the top floor had amazing views of the ocean. Would highly recommend for a family getaway.

Beach Suite
Andrew was a great host who was responsive and proactive. The space was comfortable, quiet and within walking distance of the ocean. The king sized bed was comfortable. There is a small kitenette with a mini-fridge. Parking is on the street in front of the unit. We were very happy with our stay and highly recommend this for your visit to Santa Cruz!

NEW! The Beachcomber - OCEAN VIEW Getaway!
We really enjoyed our weekend getaway at Nina and Pete's. The unit is a duplex, attached to the next door Airbnb. We saw the other guests' car, but never heard them through the walls or anything. It was a very private space! The scenery is absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed walking our dog along the bluffs and going for runs in the morning. The house is situated perfectly in Crescent City, close to downtown, grocery stores, and also in a central location for Redwoods, Jedediah Smith State Park, and the Oregon Coast. The best surprise of all was the original Nintendo!!! It brought us back to our childhood days and was so much fun!

Jewel by the Sea
This place is paradise. The views are unreal, coast to coast green and sea, kite sailers and hangliders. You walk about 5 minutes to the beach you can see from much of the house. The home is incredibly spacious; we were two families each with two preschoolers and somehow there was enough distance within the house that one batch of kids could sleep while another batch napped. The fenced in yard kept the kids entertained when it was rainy and cold and none of the adults wanted to sit at the beach. Total dream stay!
