Cottage holiday rentals in Channel Islands of California

One of the most amazing Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. The place is absolutely gorgeous.

Our stay here was quick, but just what we were looking for—peaceful and quiet. Our family of six stayed, and one reason we chose it was because each of our four kids would have their own bed. No pillow barriers needed haha. Speaking of beds, these were the *most* comfortable ones we’ve used at an AirBnB. The space was comfy, inviting, and super cool. We loved looking at all the music industry memorabilia, too; what a neat legacy for Michele to share with her AirBnB guests! One thing to note: the place is a converted garage so it is cooled and heated with a mini-split. It wasn’t turned on when we got there, and we wish it had been because it was a pretty cold, drizzly night (December) and took a long time to heat up. So if you stay here, maybe request that it be turned on in advance of your arrival. I’m sure the property management wouldn’t mind at all because they were nothing but accommodating and welcoming. Our big family felt lucky to find this place to stay while in the area.

Magical place! Best experienced in real life. Don’t wait book this home. Beth was a doll, brought us fresh picked flowers and creamer upon request.

So relaxing to stay here! Nice to be away from phone service and close enough to the hot tub. We were sharing the space with another couple in the glass house, with whom we had very minor and lovely interactions. easy to feel a sense of privacy even when sharing the land. Would love to come back and stay longer!

John’s place was absolutely fantastic! We really loved our stay, and would come again without question! It was walkable to everything downtown Laguna has to offer, close walk to the beach, but it was really quite just what we were looking for. We had my baby with us, and they had a pack and play that looked new. The kitchen had everything you could think of for cooking up a great meal, the house was very clean, the beds were really comfortable, and the patio space was private and lovely to lounge in. We really enjoyed the zen tub that was in their little bath house out in the back. Super private, they did a great job with it, It feels “spa like” in there. All in all a great experience!

We enjoyed our stay at this very cute and cozy cottage. It was a very peaceful location and close by a beautiful Walking trail. It had all of the amenities, and we especially enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub in the evening.

5 stars – A Perfect Stay! 
I cannot recommend this place enough! From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The cottage was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities I could possibly need. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches like fresh coffee, extra towels, and a helpful guide with local recommendations. The location was perfect—close to everything, yet peaceful and quiet at night. Communication with the host was seamless; Linda was very thoughtful, responsive, friendly, and went out of her way to make sure I had a great experience. I especially appreciated the little things that showed she cared like the personal welcome and farewell notes. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Chuchu (the host) was very kind and accommodating and communicated very well with us. We couldn’t stay as long as we wanted due to personal plans. So we weren’t able to enjoy the fantastic amenities like we would have liked to! There are so many amenities, and probably the best out of the Airbnb we have stayed at. Everything was spotless and well-maintained. Good parking availability. There was so much to do for everyone, from the garage games to the backyard pool, sauna and jacuzzi. Everything the listing described and then some. It was also very close to restaurants and things to do if you plan to leave the house and do other things too. It is an active area but a peaceful neighborhood and one you can relax. Best of both worlds! Great for a short stay or longer stay!

My stay at The Venice Love Lodge was great! On nice quiet street it was easy for me and my two dogs to walk the neighborhood. The Love Lodge is very nice and clean is very well stocked with pans, dishes and utensils so we were able to stay in and cook (Ralph’s grocery store was nearby). Although it has been updated even has usb-c ports at the wall outlet this 1940’s era house was great. The TV has an APPLE TV box and you can log in to your account to watch your content (just remember to log out when you leave). I felt very safe walking around and safe parking on the street. The bicycles are in good working condition and was fun riding around. Personally I preferred a Waymo ride to the Santa Monica pier and Venice Boardwalk (theAI car drove better than some of the other rides shares and was slightly cheaper. Overall had a great time and will do again when I can. Thank you Arron and Monica for the use of the Venice Love Lodge.

This was at least my third stay at Lisa’s place. I keep coming back for the value, the privacy and the beautiful surroundings. The place e is quirky, but we love that and we love Lisa and family as hosts. Good people who deserve our support.

Perfect place for our stay to celebrate my son’s graduation from ucsb. We were mostly in Isla Vista but hosted a Sunday brunch for him and his friends. Sat outside in the comfortable patio and everyone had a fabulous time! My nephew remarked that Dawn’s place reminded him of my Italian grandmother’s house; everything was carefully chosen to reflect the vintage charm of the cottage with European flavor. Loved everything about our stay here!

What an amazing little beach home. We loved Ian's home. It was stocked with everything we could need, the home was clean and cozy and had an ocean view from upstairs. The neighborhood is amazing and there are several charming restaurants just a block away from the house. Highly recommend.

Very good location

Hummingbird Cottage is adorable. The bed was so comfortable and the sound of the fountain was soothing. The house is very small, so not suited to someone really tall. Our daughter stayed in the treehouse and loved it. The location was great for catching the boat to the Channel Islands.

This was a 10/10 stay. The cottage was absolutely magical and Ronald and Elle were very flexible, communicative and thoughtful. The cottage is bright, cozy and the perfect place to stay. Fresh flowers and lemons as well as water and some toast for breakfast. :) Definitely book your stay here if you are in the area! Would come back for sure.

Wow. This place is magic. Perfect for a quick solo getaway and I’m already planning my next trip back with my partner. There is so much to do and enjoy. The majestic oak tree out back, the outdoor soaking tub, the outdoor daybed, and the breakfast Maggie made for me were highlights. I felt totally immersed in the wild nature of Topanga. This was truly a 10/10 experience. Only note is that there are mosquitos right now, so plan accordingly :)

We very much enjoyed our stay. Very peaceful and secluded, yet close to shops and restaurants. Parking was sometime on the side streets but no problem at all. Kitchen is well stocked, and we enjoyed dinners outside. We hope to be back.

We stayed 2 nights. Loved the space, decor, quiet, ample parking for our sprinter van. The location was perfect for all the things we wanted to explore. Our only regret is not being able to stay longer!

We had a wonderful time staying at Darryl’s place! If you love the ocean like we do - this is definitely the place for you! Wake up and fall asleep to the sound of the waves, it has a beautiful, private patio, a beach we have enjoyed during the day and multiple restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Darryl is a fantastic host! He was very accommodating, communicative, gave us recommendations and left us a bottle of wine, bottles of water and snacks! We loved Darryl’s place and highly recommend it! We’ll be back again!

My husband and I stayed here for our daughter’s graduation. It is the cutest little cottage located near downtown. It’s perfect for a quiet couple who needs a place to stay in SB. Hector is an amazing host! He went over and above and we are so happy to have found this place! Great value and the amenities and grounds were stunning! Guests will find lush towels in the upscale bathroom, the bed is super comfy and the room is very clean and welcoming. We will definitely return! Thank you so much Hector 💜

we loved the cottage it was very beautiful place, peaceful and filled like a home, the best thing about the location it was 10 to 15 minutes drive to go around and have our adventures. We loved our host, Melani and christ, they are loving welcomed and great couples. solvang and Santa ynez it's very nice place to go back and if we do we're definitely going back to Melanis place.

Such a beautiful space inside and out which allowed for a relaxing weekend getaway. We enjoyed the back patio as well as the front patio area and the bottle of wine was an unexpected surprise. Breanna was responsive to my questions. The home is even more beautiful than the photos. We look forward to visiting the area again.

George’s place was great- nice, quiet and clean. Roomy 2 bedroom place. George was easy to communicate with. Thanks again!

Wonderful host and very responsive with questions. As far as for location: everything was walking distance and only drove to venture out to other cities. Would definitely recommend booking if you enjoy trekking to your destination, listening to the calm ebb and flow of the Carpenteria waves, lastly the local eateries and nearby parks.
