House vacation rentals in Southern California

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!

The home and the property are even more beautiful than the pictures show. The property is at the end of a dirt road that can seem a bit difficult to find but with the host instructions it leads you right to the property without issues. Every room of the house was clean and set up perfectly with many places to relax and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. We made use of the pool, jacuzzi, game room, backyard dining table, and fire pit which were all amazing amenities. The host was also very proactive and responsive making us feel secure even though we had no issues. Highly recommend!

Had a great Time. House is beautiful and the view was outstanding. We loved listening to and seeing the wildlife and birds. The Beds were very comfortable. The Kitchen was well supplied, plenty of dish ware, cups, bowls etc. The Pool table kept us all entertained. We loved having a TV in every room, the 83 in was nice and big. Plenty of seating for meals and for watching TV. The Pool was nice and big, and spa seat us all and got plenty warm enough was a little hard to get in and out of the Pool and Spa with no rails but otherwise great, even saw the owl fly into his home. Overall Fantastic defiantly a 5 Star

This home felt so luxurious! My family and I wanted to get away for a birthday celebration and this was exactly what we needed!! Home was very spacious and clean. The pictures were exactly what you would expect. I would highly recommend booking this home!!

WOW! If you are looking for an incredible place to stay that is only a 15 minute drive from the entrance to the West Gate, then here it is! This house was incredibly beautiful. The POOL and HOT TUB are amazing. The pool has a ledge to sit on which made the hot days enjoyable. It is SOOOOO quiet, the entire time and it was amazing to star gaze too. The projector set up for TV was very cool. The kitchen was easy to use. The beds were sooooooo comfortable and the shower and bath tub were immaculate! Nat and Lou are very responsive, provided some recommendations that were very helpful. We will 100% be staying here again! This is a rare find for a reason.

The host created a very welcoming environment. The place was beautiful and well kept/maintenanced. They were very responsive if we had any questions.

Beautiful place in desert but also not too far from town. Wonderful. Wish we’d had longer there.

Absolutely stunning pool and casita! The most beautiful Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. Pool was perfect. The copper tub is luxurious and spa like. Heads up—this is not the Airbnb for cooking as there is no hot plate or oven and very few cooking supplies/utensils! Other than that it is perfection :)

I had another fantastic stay at Kathy’s Airbnb! The drive along Corall Canyon offers stunning views of the ocean, Santa Monica, Palos Verdes, and Catalina Island. Kathy’s home features incredible sunrise views, with gentle morning fog below. The open layout connecting the bedroom, living room, kitchenette, and bathroom creates a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Kathy is a wonderful host, always responsive to my needs. If you’re seeking a serene getaway with gorgeous vistas and a lovely host, I highly recommend this place!

My wife and I recently stayed here for a few nights and absolutely loved it — the home, the area, and the amenities all exceeded our expectations. The hot tub alone, set in such a beautiful and peaceful location, makes this a 5-star stay. The home itself is thoughtfully designed and incredibly comfortable. The views are stunning, and with the French doors and windows open, the natural cross breeze was so pleasant we never needed the excellent AC system (though it’s there if you do). The shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water — a small detail, but much appreciated. Julian is a charming historic mining town, and we had a great time exploring the local attractions and shops. Our host was fantastic — kind, responsive, and genuinely helpful from start to finish. If you’re planning a trip to Julian or the surrounding area, don’t hesitate — this home is a perfect base and a true gem.

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

Had such an amazing stay in Los Angeles, mainly due to Michael’s place meeting and surpassing expectations. Incredible views of the city and the attention to detail throughout this place made us instantly feel comfortable and at home. From the large comfortable beds, both bathrooms and showers, the home cinema, the kitchen and dining area layout and in the instructions put in place telling us how everything works was a really nice touch from the host. Our host, Michael, was very helpful from the day we reserved to the day we checked out, such a friendly and informative host. Thanks a lot, can’t wait to visit again. Neil & Sandra

We absolutely loved our stay here and would book it again next time we are in the area! The space was clean, comfortable, peaceful, and the views were spectacular.

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.

The Airbnb was so cute and just like the pictures. Area is pretty secluded and loved that it was up on the hills. The grill and campfire pit was easy to use. Enjoyed our stay and was plenty of room for 2 people!

The space was beautiful, comfortable and well appointed. We really enjoyed our time in this peaceful space surrounded by natural beauty. Will definitely return.

Great interior, authentic and cozy place in the middle of nature, hosts provided all information in advance and would have responded if something was not right. Highly recommend for those who are looking for a quiet place with all comfort.

The drive to the property through acres and acres of avocado trees, beautiful flowers and a peaceful winding paved road was extremely pleasant. The walk up to the house was so beautiful with flowers and trees everywhere. and a large grassy area. We walked in and instantly knew we had found paradise. Judith's home was spotlessly clean. Minimal yet very comfortable furnishings; everything so tasteful with beautifully curated Japanese inspired art and housewares. Everything in the home gives you a sense of serenity. So many places to sit and look at beauty. There are fountains and lush grounds that add so much. We wished it had been cold so we could have had a wood burning fire each night. The Japanese pool (it is a hot tub but not plastic, it is beautifully tiled sunken tub) is a relaxing retreat any time of day and it looks out at a peaceful garden with a waterfall and stream. Judith is a lovely host, and her home is really very special. We will be returning often.

This place is magical! We had such an amazing time during our stay. From either star gazing, to local shopping, or exploring Joshua Tree national park - it was truly perfect. The house was another level! It was seriously breathtaking and the only complaint was we had to leave! This place was the best and the hosts matched that energy! Look no further, seriously book it today!

Wow!! So glad we found Eitay’s place! It was perfect and we loved staying there. The location had an incredible view, very nice neighborhood, and a great area. The beds were comfortable and they had so many comforts of home that were greatly appreciated. The owners provided great instructions and were wonderful. Would definitely stay again!

I loved this place! Everything was clean and comfortable. Especially the bed! It was so comfortable I had to force myself to get up and go do something. It was like sleeping in a soft, white cloud. And the back yard was so clean and spacious. I brought my dog and I felt so safe having him run loose back there. I will caution anyone with a small dog (like a chihuahua or Yorkie) that there is a space about 4 inches under a gate that a small dog might squeeze out of. But since I had a large dog it wasn’t a problem. I loved the fire pit and the hot tub. And they even left a bottle of wine and a gift card for a coffee at a local coffee shop. Not that you will need one. They have an awesome coffee and tea making set up! I would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay! The place felt safe and cozy from the moment I arrived. I absolutely loved the pool—such a perfect spot to relax. The interior decoration was beautiful and minimal, giving the space a calm, stylish vibe. The bed was incredibly comfortable—I slept like a baby through out the night. Also, a big shoutout to Chelsea, the host—she was so welcoming and responded to all my questions very quickly, which made everything smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend this place and would definitely love to stay again!

Very nice clean house. We had a good time and will be back soon

The house has the most amazing view. It has a private space for myself, my Dad, and my daughter. The sunrise and sunset were amazing. Being able to walk to the beach in seconds was amazing. Private and zen but very close to all the restaurants and stores if you need anything. The parking is easy, but tight but our SUV fit.
