Charming Beachside Flat
Another great stay at Logan's. The beach is only a few steps away and the Salt Marsh Reserve right across the street. One of my favorite things to do is either an early morning walk on the beach, or just stay in with an early morning cup of tea and watch the sunrise light up the hills. Coming to Logan's feels like a welcome home. I've been coming for several years and intend to continue.

Sea View, Boards, Bikes, W/d
Austin was quick to respond about any questions and overall a great host! I recommend 10/10 experience. A beach right across the street, safe area, and had everything we needed. Will be back again :)

Sunrise at the Beach 1 Block to Sand + Dogs
We had a great time! The loft is just a short walk from the beach, which was never crowded. We also got to see dolphins and a sea lion from shore! It's also a great staring point for a run along the shore.

Mermaids Grotto - Just Steps to the Sand
Fabulous location right on the beach AND walkable to some very nice restaurants and shops. The condo is well designed and furnished. Two full baths and well equipped kitchen. And a wonderful State Park beach is right underneath you. Not crowded, quiet, blissful week spending time with family and new grandchild!

Carpinteria Shores-307
Clean. Accurate. Great spot. No bells or whistles. But did the Job.

New! Luxury Beach Retreat and Pool!
Joanie was a great host. We were ghosted by our original reservation and customer service was able to get us with Joanie. Joanie was extremely responsive and everything matched with the description on the listing. I'm extremely grateful with Joanie and her home was great. My husband and 2 children were extremely comfortable and relaxed during our stay. Thank you!

Rolling Beach Dunes Cozy Studio
loved it cause it was at the beach not too small or too big nostalgic

The Shoals Corner
We LOVED having our Thanksgiving weekend at The Shoals Corner! The unit is charming, very comfortable, with a pull-out couch/bed conversion in the living room that gives a great view of the ocean (and sunsets!). From there, we could see a pod of dolphins feeding for quite a while one morning! We brought a crockpot and fixings from home, and made our turkey breast in the cozy kitchen for our holiday meal. The kitchen is really well stocked for up to four people. There's lots to do in central Ventura, so we worked out at a gym a couple of times, shopped for food and beverage extras next door to the gym, and drove around to look at neighborhoods. We also played miniature golf another day and thought about going to a movie...but the beach vibe, fresh air, and sunshine were so satisfying that we avoided indoor activities. We're already talking about going back next year. THANK YOU, MARY, for your hospitality and the opportunity for us to have a wonderful vacation!!

Ventura Keys Living: Boat+Beach!
We loved the house! The neighborhood was quiet and beautiful. We enjoyed the backyard and being able to have a view of the water. There were great restaurants nearby! I would definitely stay at this house again if it was available.

101 O - La Dolce Vita in Silver Strand Beach
Had an amazing beachfront experience! The house was spotless and had all the amenities of home and beautifully decorated. The host was responsive and considerate, ensuring our stay was comfortable from start to finish. This beach front house surpassed our expectations and highly recommend. I will definitely book again for my next trip.

Upper Unit Beachfront "Boathouse" House!
Cozy and immaculately maintained 70’s nautical beach vibes. Extremely friendly and responsive host. A very special place! Two things I did not like: 1. 4pm check-in (3pm more reasonable) 2. 10am checkout! (Should be 11am) These adjustments would be more fair to guests still leave plenty of time for cleaning before the next guests arrive.

Cool Cali Vibe - Barefoot Stepping Distance 2 Sand
We enjoyed our time here very much, thanks you Angela and the hosting team, your proactive messages and tips were very helpful and made our stay better than we even expected!

Casa Playa- luxury in heart of West Beach with A/C
Great place to stay. About a 10 minute walk to the Funk Zone and 25 minute walk to downtown. Would definitely stay agin.

Romantic Luxury Water Front near Santa Barbara
We absolutely loved this place! It was so relaxing to be right on the water, and to be able to hop in the hot tub on a cold morning :) The beds were incredibly comfortable and the primary bedroom felt like a luxury suite. The host and property manager are also lovely. Very kind and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be back!

Shoreline Escape
Amazing little beach side cottage. We booked this place for my wedding and it was perfect. I got to relax days before the wedding had an amazing vacation, and then all me and my girls were able to get ready easily day of. I dream of coming back perfect house! Beds are super comfortable too!

Working Ranch~Golf, Beach,Wine/No smoking/Pet free
First, the place is great. It is spacious, the bedrooms are large, and the view is fantastic. Being dog lovers, the highlight for us was Styx the ranch dog who kept us company all weekend. The house was clean and well stocked. The furniture is dated but comfortable. The master bathroom has a heater that made my shower very nice!

Port Hueneme 2 Bd, 2BA w/ Ocean View Beach Living
My wife and I stayed here while I attended a conference 45 minutes away, inland. I’m so glad we stayed where we did because of the views. Not difficult to get around. Grocery store and restaurants are not a far drive away. The place had everything we needed. Older adults, so pretty quiet. You can see and hear the ocean from the condo. Host was quick to respond to any questions.

Spectacular Beach Retreat 3Bd/2Bth + Ocean View
We enjoyed our time here very much.. . It felt welcoming and cozy from the moment we arrived. Suneetha is a fantastic host she is very responsive, friendly, and puts so much care into making her guests feel comfortable. It was truly a great experience. Thank you Suneetha!

*Right on the Sand*
Awesome condo right on the beach! Super clean and the best view and location - listening to the ocean was the dream! The beach is a gorgeous and long and very beautiful - it's busy with cars and people but we loved it!

Cottage by the Sea steps to beach with heated pool
Great host, great location, fun stay. Highly recommended. Jumped on the surfliner Amtrak and took our kids to the Santa Barbara Zoo. Hung out on the beach just down the road from the apartment. Awesome time!

Carpinteria Beach front condo w/ FULL OCEAN VIEW
Staying at Rachel's Beach Condo is consistently an incredible, inspiring "home away from home" experience... The place could not be more perfect (there's always personal touches and new stuff in the kitchen that makes me say "I have to get one of those!") and the location (right on a gorgeous beach and walkable to everything in town, plus a sweet playground for kids) can't be beat. Plus, Rachel is like family (in only the good ways!). So looking forward to our next visit to Carp! (As long as we can snag a week on the very busy condo calendar.)

Spectacular Beach Retreat with Ocean View 5minWalk
The place looked exactly like the pictures portrayed. The location was great! Beds were very comfy!

Beach Palace-WIFI-Beach-Spa-Nature Trails-Kitchen
Excellent place. I travel for work and they were very accommodating to my week to week needs

Beachside Getaway-Oceanfront Escape in Carpinteria
Instructions were clear, condo was as described. The beach chairs and boogie boards were so helpful. Will happily return!
