Huisjes in Channel Islands of California

MK is a fantastic host! Her place is in a wonderful, central location that allows you to easily get around LA which is saying a lot as LA can be a tough city to get around in. The home matched the description and photos. MK was very accommodating, flexible, kind, and responsive - thank you for a great stay!

Jennifer was simply amazing! So responsive, communicative, understanding, kind, accommodating and genuine. Beautiful property which was so accurate to the photos, perfect location, easy instructions and loads of helpful information. The energy at fantastical cottage was so beautiful, it was the perfect getaway.

This was our third trip to Darrell’s place in 2 1/2 years. We just can’t get enough! Each trip we add another night to our stay. We’re already checking our schedule for a trip back in October! This guest house is a tiny home, packed full of everything you need. We enjoyed cooking on the little two burner stove top, extra blankets for lounging around on the outdoor bed, mini fridge holds a lot, toaster oven, space heater for the chilly evenings, tv with cable and WiFi. Our favorite thing about this place is the feeling we get when we’re here. We’re instantly at peace. It’s calm and serene. We enjoyed working on crafts at the picnic table under the trees, listening to the deep wind chimes resonate throughout the property. Birds and other wild life are active and brought life to the experience as well as the flow of the many water falls. Darrell is really friendly, and generous. We’re so grateful that he offers this space to us to rent. Looking forward to our next visit!

Let’s just say we didn’t want to leave. Tom was great super friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Location was amazing only second away from the beach, with bikes the host provided. The house had everything we needed and even toys for the kids. Definitely family stamp of approval.

Amazing place & amazing host! My girlfriend & I had the best time! We can't wait to come back :)

Nancy’s place was perfect for us for our week+ stay while visiting family in the area. The house was immaculate and well stocked with everything that we needed. Nancy was quick to respond to any questions we had. We loved the neighborhood as we are big walkers and the neighborhood streets and the preserve trail right at the end of the road were great for exercise. It was a bit of a cool week while we were in SoCal so the heater/fireplace was a welcome plus for keeping us comfortable. As a tea drinker, I was happy to have an electric tea kettle available while my husband enjoyed the keurig machine and the supply of k-cups Nancy provided. We would certainly stay again.

Our stay at Linda’s place was great! Nice touches with hand written notes and snacks to welcome us. Absolutely beautiful garden and outdoor area. You can tell there’s a lot of care that goes into to the property. Inside was clean and the bed was comfortable. Would overall recommend.

We had a short stay at Chuchu’s and loved the home. It’s clean, has all of the things you need, and the pool / sauna area is excellent! Chuchu was very communicative and helpful along the way. Would stay here again!

We've stayed in a few different places in Venice over the years, and this is by far our favorite. It's a perfect space - well decorated with cool furniture, and every room felt just the right size. The kitchen was great, really well organized, and the bathroom / bathtub was clean and lovely (loved the bidet). Internet was fast and reliable, great for working from home like I did (and there are also tons of places - restaurants / cafes - to work out of nearby). Walking distance to my favorite gym, Barry's Bootcamp, as well as the grocery store. Great for kids because of the bathtub and the fenced in front yard. Would love to stay here again on our next visit!

Unique little spot with amazing views. We were even able to get a bit of hiking in - Lisa gave us the inside scoop on how to walk from our lil trailer to the Topanga State Park trails. We spent some time in LA as well as Oxnard to go whale watching - couldn’t have been better situated to access all the good stuff and take some scenic drives (if you’re into that sort of thing). We are into that sort of thing. Well worth the money just for the atmosphere and nature (fell asleep to the croaks of the local frog population) though we didn’t see any. Comfy beds and restful sleep. Thank you!

Rooms are somewhat small but the cottage is charming, very homey, and quite comfortable. It had all we needed. We will want to visit again. The outside common area and chickens were a big hit with our grandkids when they came for a visit. The neighborhood is beautiful & quiet. Kristen was a great host.

This is the 2nd time I’ve stayed at Dons lovely cottage while visiting Los Angeles. The setting is quiet and peaceful; interior is clean and bright. It manages to be close to everything and secluded at the same time. Don communicates quickly and answered any and all questions with near zero wait time. This is my go-to spot when I’m in Echo Park!

I stay here anytime I am in topanga. Such a lovely oasis. Cooked myself dinner and breakfast, sat in the beautifully clean sauna (heats up quick), took a bath outside, napped in the hammock, and was on my way. Perfect place to stay, 10/10.

What a great spot! There is a lot to do within walking distance but there are a lot of stairs to get to the main thoroughfare. The cottage was super cozy for a tiny house. The kitchen had amenities for the first morning which was helpful after a day of travel. We wished we had more time to spend there but there was so much to do in Ventura.

We loved staying at Fawns place. So close to the beach and great restaurants, we also loved the farmers market on Sunday. Will definitely be staying at Fawns place again!

we love staying at nancy and jimbo’s place! love hiking in the preserve and strolls along the beach are amazing! we have stayed multiple times and can’t wait for our next visit, thank you nancy and jimbo!

A wonderful stay. Great proximity to the surrounding towns and wineries - all in driving distance. The Airbnb was comfortable and homely. Would stay again if visiting the area.

Wonderful stay. Wanted to get away from LA and have a nature focused time with my dogs. Felt right at home. Perfect little cabin!!

Kierah’s place was very cute and was exactly as advertised. We stayed because we were racing Leona Divide trail races and it was the perfect location conveniently located to the start/finish. If you’re in the area to hike or run it would be perfect as well. The host was responsive and friendly. The local trails are beautiful. We would stay again.

Fabulous glamping experience! Comfy furniture and bed. Loved the fireplace at night. Cozy and warm. Bring ear plugs, as there is a bit of road noise. Bring plates, bowls, and utensils if you’d like to eat in the cottage. Only two small plates, one bowl, but three mugs so the soup we brought worked out. No spoons tho…. 1 fork and knife. 🤣 Lovely courtyard and fountains! Overall loved it and will definitely be back. 🧡

Ari and Alex were extremely communicative from my booking date to check out. They were both generous with recommendations for local restaurants, cafes and provided plenty of dog friendly spots to visit as I had my two small pups with me. The house location and set up was perfect for my parents and had zero stairs (a huge plus for my mom). The home is located just minutes away from Santa Barbara, Montecito and Carpenteria and gave us time to explore and schedule naps in between. The home itself is adorable and offers plenty of storage space for all your belongings. For those that work from home, it’s noteworthy both rooms have a makeshift desk that pulls up from the wall that way one can work in private. My parents and I loved our stay and are already in talks about our next stay here in 2026. It was an absolute dream location paired with fantastic hosts. Thanks again, Alex and Ari!

Great location. Everything was walkable and bonus a park for the kids close by.

We have stayed at Primo Cottage many times ! We love everything about it! It is close to the best beach, many restaurants and a variety of shopping. It is immaculate and sooo comfortable. It is quiet and relaxing. I can’t wait to return again. Mike and Diane are the best hosts.

What a peaceful place tucked in a quiet hilltop full of nature surroundings. Absolutely no traffic/people noise and lots darkness with an incredible view when the fog rolls away. It blew our minds! A perfect base of operations for a week stay with all we needed and the host right next door (over a private gate) which was helpful when we had a few needs that he responded quickly and kindly. We were impressed how close we were to things even though it felt like we were far, far away. We cannot wait to stay there again! Note to those that drive a Tesla, do NOT use the car gps/maps. It won’t get you there in a direct route. Use Google maps. Plan at least one evening to enjoy the night sky from the hot tub and deck with fire table and grill. It’s not to be missed.
