BedarghyaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

I had a memorable time at Lynda's home! Right from the first night, where I was extremely late to check in, despite her surgery the next day, she was patient and very accommodating to let me in at her place. Her place was extremely spacious and had a rustic feel about it. I had no problem using the amenities at her home. And lastly, her wonderful companions Maya, Taki and Prince made sure I never left the comfort of home even while I was on a vacation far away! Thank you Lynda.... Hope I get a chance to visit you once again!

Beautiful queen bdrm with en suite

PaulRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Oh my, what a beautiful home. Getting in was a breeze, the room was perfect! Heather is the nicest hostess, and super quick on responding to my silly questions. The backyard is an oasis, beautiful trees and flowers. The pool and hot tub are clean and inviting. There are notes that told how to run the hot tub, where to find everything, and if you have any question you just message Heather and she responds quickly with the answer. I have already booked two more stays, so I think that should say it all! Thanks Heather, what a delight it was to stay in your home! See you soon!!!!

Malibu Wine Country Guest Suite

JasonRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Our stay at this Malibu Airbnb was absolutely perfect. Nestled in the serene hills, the property offered stunning views, fresh air, and a sense of calm that’s hard to find elsewhere. It was the ideal escape from the city—quiet, private, and surrounded by natural beauty. The location was great: just a short drive to Malibu’s wineries, and local restaurants. We felt close to everything, yet far enough to truly unwind. Our host was amazing—responsive, welcoming, and respectful of our privacy. If you’re looking for a tranquil retreat in Malibu, this is the place. We left feeling refreshed and can’t wait to return!

What a great place to stay!!!! A true gem!! Jan is an exceptional host who allowed us to stay for one night even though we were going to arrive very early in the morning (around 3am). The house is beautiful and VERY clean. The bedroom has everything one could wish for. The bed is SUPER comfortable. There's even a fridge. The bathroom was VERY clean. We immediately felt at home. Jan was very responsive and very kind and approachable. This place is a true gem.

Peaceful Hilltop Guesthouse

Sherry Rating, 5 stars1 week ago

We had a wonderful stay at Stacy and Brian’s guesthouse! The space is beautifully decorated with so many thoughtful touches that made it feel cozy, stylish, and welcoming. The bed and bedding were hands down the most comfortable we’ve ever experienced- we slept like babies! Stacy and Brian were the perfect hosts: friendly, respectful of our privacy, and incredibly generous. They even left us a bottle of wine along with some snacks and drinks to enjoy—such a kind and unexpected surprise that made us feel truly cared for. The guesthouse is stocked with everything a traveler could need—they really thought of it all. We’ll absolutely be recommending this place to friends and family!
