Nestled in the hills of the Central California Coast, this private slice of heaven is yours to call home for a while. Though you’ll feel totally secluded with only deer as your neighbours, you’ll be just a fifteen-minute drive from Pismo Beach, fourteen minutes from Arroyo Grande, twenty-six minutes from the town of San Luis Obispo and surrounded by excellent wineries on all sides. Explore the local hiking trails, farmers markets, golf courses and dune buggy riding at the famed Nipomo Dunes, just a twenty-minute drive away. Ideal for an extended family or a group of friends with children, the home itself offers plenty of space for everyone to spread out or come together for some quality time. The children can run around in the great outdoors, while the adults enjoy a drink around the fire pit and indulge in countryside views. Enjoy breakfasts on the terrace first thing in the morning and take long soaks in the master tub before bed. Best of all, your incredible host Simon will make sure you have everything you need for a wonderful stay. Oh, and the sunsets from your hilltop garden are pretty spectacular.

Full of personalised little touches and less than ten minutes from downtown Santa Barbara, this modern coastal cottage is an Instagrammer's dream. From the outside, it takes inspiration from industrial-style shipping containers, while inside the home's muted palette and minimalist design induces a peaceful serenity. A couple or solo traveller will find it delivers a faultless experience – from the brand-new, bespoke kitchen to an always-perfect temperature, thanks to the air conditioning. Although when the weather is mild, we recommend opening the French doors and allowing indoor and outdoor spaces to become one. Sit out on your private yard, sip your morning coffee and plan the day ahead. Hop on one of the beach cruisers and feel your feet in the sand in just a few minutes, then head to Coast Village Road for the best restaurants and a spot of shopping.

After a full day of sightseeing, soak in the bath while the kids retire to their bedrooms.

Outdoor enthusiasts are spoiled for choice with the stunning Sequoia National Park a two-hour drive away. Or travel up to the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range for jaw-dropping views of the Californian landscape.

Closer to home in downtown Bakersfield — a sixteen-minute drive away, reserve a table at Buck Owens' Crystal Palace - a restaurant and music venue.

Forest cabins generally have an old-world feel to them but not this modern beauty. Built out on stilts at the top of a hill and set over three floors – each with a deck to make the most of the views – this home looks out across the woods to the mountains. Set on the edge of the Pine Mountain Club community, shared local facilities include an outdoor pool, golf course and tennis courts. Inside the cabin, there's a distinct Skandi look, with white walls, plenty of natural wood and occasional bright pops of colour. A log burner up on a brick-built hearth is the centrepiece of the double-height living space, while large picture windows and sliding doors make sure you see your surroundings from every seat in the house. There's a modern kitchen and an office area if you have to get some work done while you're away, and a children's playroom – making it perfect for families. Choose a spot to sit outside with a cool beer, or head up to the barbecue deck to use the grill. And after a long hike on the trails, steam away your aches and pains in the home's sauna.

The host of this renovated beach hut in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea has done a stellar job in retaining the home's historical character while also ensuring it belongs well and truly in the twenty-first century. Pinewood flooring, original windows and the stone fireplace are accompanied by industrial-inspired lighting, furnishings in an angelic shade of white and pops of colour from prints hanging on the wall. At the back of the house, there's a covered porch and a terrace complete with alfresco seating and a barbecue — that's summer afternoons sorted, then. When the sun does makes an appearance — which isn't unheard of in these parts — a ten-minute walk down Ocean Avenue will get you to Carmel Beach, while there are a host of art galleries and restaurants that surround the home.

Seaside cabins don’t come much more charming than this. Nestled in the quiet neighbourhood of Cambria, and just steps away from the beach, you’ll find this gem of a home dating back to 1937. Recently renovated, inside it’s all fresh and light interiors, with just the right touch of coastal accents to nod to the coast. Wake up each morning to the sounds of distant waves in the serene crow’s nest bedroom upstairs, before opening the curtains to reveal a glimpse of the sea.  Outside, there’s a spacious yard hugging all sides of the home to give a feeling of privacy and offering plenty of entertaining spaces. Take your pick from two fire pit seating areas adorned with festoon lighting – there’s a spot in the secluded backyard or out front for sunset views. Foodies will love the Traeger barbeque, complete with a wifi app and meat probe that alerts you when your meat is cooked to perfection. We’re particularly fond of the quaint outdoor shower area. It’s perfect for washing off sandy feet from a day at the beach or cooling down after a hike in Fiscalini Ranch Preserve – both within walking distance. Or simply for showering under the stars as the fire pit blazes in the distance, just because you can.

Surrounded by hiking trails, golf courses, and stretches of Pacific coast, this home in Santa Cruz not only has an enviable location, but it’s bursting with the potential for plenty of memories made. The backyard, alone, has a private swimming pool, tiki bar, and a swath of green turf that the kids will love running around on – especially when they’re hiding from the dinosaur. Now, although their ancestor is just a statue, the chickens are very real – find them in their coop when you’re making the rounds outdoors. Pass through trees, make your way up and down steps as you stretch out and shake off the last dregs of sleep, and refresh yourself with a morning swim before going back inside to brew a pot of fresh coffee. 

Take breakfasts out on the patio – chances are you might even enjoy a scramble of fresh eggs, courtesy of the chickens – and when you’re ready to start exploring, head out to any one of the beaches that await you on the other end of a short drive. Golfers can tee off at one of two courses only minutes away, and nature lovers can get up close and personal with the native beauty of California by setting off on the hiking trails. 

Spend afternoons reading in the hammock, barbecue at sunset, swim under the stars, watch family movies huddled together next to the fire. Visit the amusement park, the Bigfoot Discovery Museum, and eat more authentic tacos than you thought possible – knowing that this cosy home is waiting for you to return for some well-deserved R&R.

Redwood & Palm

In the centre of downtown Paso Robles, this stylish apartment puts you close to shops, restaurants and, of course, wine tasting rooms. The hills around Paso are filled with California’s best wineries where Zinfandel and Petit Sirah grapes grow plump on the vine. Indulge in a warming Pinot Noir in the living room, where faux fur cushions invite you to cosy up on the mid-century-style sofa. The sleek, black kitchen has everything you need, including plenty of room for a few bottles of Chardonnay in the big American-style fridge. If you want to switch it up a bit the cute bar trolley is set with everything needed to mix up a few Martinis and when sleep beckons, the huge king-size bed in the master bedroom awaits.

Desk / Workplace

Escape from the stress of urban life with a stay in this charming log cabin, surrounded by ancient pine forests. With breathtaking walks right from your doorstep, a fantastic board game collection, and little-to-no phone signal, you are guaranteed to come back from this trip feeling completely invigorated.

A small family or group of four, plus any well-behaved pets, can spend some quality time together in the tranquil setting. Sit around the crackling fireplace on chilly nights or barbecue under the stars on a balmy summer's night. 

Rustic yet intimate, the interior feels like you're tucked away as California's little secret. The peaceful ambiance is ideal if you're looking to work on a creative project and need a place to let your ideas flow.

Outside of the retreat, the encompassing scenery is adorned by enticing walking trails. Follow the winding paths through the exotic flora and fauna that decorate the rural landscape. It's like walking through a magical fairytale.

Dew Drop combines relaxed West Coast living with the best of Cape Cod's design, for a beach-front home that is sure to put its guests at ease. Its position between Santa Barbara and Malibu means that it’s a little bit quieter than your standard California beach retreat, but the centre of Oxnard is still easy to reach. The gentle, nautical colour scheme perfectly matches the home's impressive views and provides a comfortable and homely space in a serene setting. Whether you want to make yourself at home in the living room and snuggle up with a great book or spend your time exploring the beach and its surroundings (Alfred provides beach chairs and body boards), Dew Drop has something for everyone. 

Dew Drop

Accessible Parking

This cosy abode blends comfort with outdoor living. Though within close proximity of two farmhouses, there’s nothing twee or rustic about its style; think sleek and sharp interior design. An open archway bridges the space between the sitting room, kitchen and dining room, while large windows and French doors frame the picturesque mountains. From the modern chandelier to the stone floor and soaking tub – complete with lavender bath salts, perfect for tired muscles after long hikes through the countryside – we love how this home brings contemporary luxury to a rural setting. The romantic atmosphere continues in the ten-acre grounds, where a patio, fire pit and outdoor dining area boast spectacular views. This home’s prime location puts you a five-minute car ride from Paso Robles wine trail. Or, you can walk to Jack Creek Cellars, just three minutes across the street, for a glass or two with your date and not have to worry about the drive home.

Come for the outdoor living, stay for the cosy quarters at the end of a sunny day. This three-bedroom home, nestled in Santa Barbara’s coveted Marine Terrace neighborhood, has everything you’d want from a coastal California home – not least its sprawling outdoor area made for the sun, with a bocce ball court, hot tub, fire pit, and plenty of outdoor seating to boot. Inside, the open floor plan and sleek finishes make it easy to gather, cook, and relax. One or two well-behaved, potty-trained dogs are welcome, so your furry family members can enjoy the trip too! This is your chance to enjoy the comfort of a lovely stay with the charm of living like a local.

Dreaming of sunny California? This luxury beach house captures the best that the Golden State has to offer. Roll out of bed and onto the beach to surf amongst tousel-haired locals. If you can’t catch a wave, you’ll be sure to see someone else do it from the living room’s ocean-facing windows. The sea is never far away, with stunning vistas to be found from the dining room to the spacious master bedroom. The interior is modern and minimal, mixing seaside chic with contemporary design. We especially love the sofas made from reclaimed wood; cosy up beside the gas fireplace and catch a movie on the 60” flat-screen TV. There’s even more fun to be had outside. Top up your Californian tan on the sundeck and then cool off in the private pool. In the evening, fry up a feast with the family on the BBQ and crack open a beer beside the firepit. 

Golden State

Wheelchair Access

Nestled near the canyons of Santa Barbara, this home offers beautiful views and the ideal opportunity for a private retreat. It’s also just a ten-minute drive to the nearest beach and amenities – making this a great option for those in search of action and relaxation. Wherever the day takes you, the terrace makes it easy to switch off and watch the sunset. There is also a fire pit and a barbecue as well as two indoor fireplaces – perfect for cosy movie nights. 

Canyon Bliss

Courtyard

Built in 1937 and tucked into a half-acre lot in Santa Barbara’s West Beach neighborhood, this historic two-bedroom villa blends old-world charm with contemporary comfort. Hardwood floors, period-style furnishings, and sunny patios set the scene, while the expansive backyard—complete with fruit trees—offers a peaceful place to unwind. Inside, there’s a cozy living area with swivel chairs and a sixty-inch TV, a fully equipped kitchen for home-cooked meals, and plush bedrooms for a restful night’s sleep. The best part though? You’re just steps from the beach, harbor, and a lively mix of restaurants, cafés, and festivals. This is Santa Barbara living at its best.

Mid-Century Bliss

Like a warm hug, this classic cottage-style home presents a soothing space to relax between discovering the serene beaches, sought-after restaurants, impressive art galleries and sophisticated wine tasting locations of Carmel-by-the-Sea. 

Furnished with style, homely features pave the way to a comfortable and practical stay here. With tons of natural daylight flowing through the space, wake up feeling refreshed and energised amidst the peaceful setting. Take in the ocean views with a breath of fresh air each morning from the sun-drenched terrace as you plan the day's adventures in Carmel. 

Located just three blocks away from Carmel's white sandy beach, you'll be in easy reach of lazy beach days by the sea, as well as just seven blocks away from the entrance route to the "17-Mile Drive"- which takes you along a beautiful, picturesque road unveiling stunning ocean views and breathtaking mansions. When you arrive home, spend your evenings at the comfortable outdoor seating area by the fire pit with a glass of California wine. 



The Smiling Poet

This bright and breezy villa puts the best of Santa Barbara at your doorstep. Just steps from the sand, the harbour, and the buzzing Funk Zone, you can stroll or cycle to bars, cafés, and restaurants without ever touching your car. Inside, colourful interiors echo the tropical surroundings, creating a laid-back, beachy vibe. Stretch out in the open-plan living space or step onto the little front balcony for a sunset drink or two – this villa promises a stay that’s as lively or as leisurely as you like.

Santa Barbara Escape

This home invites you to slip off your shoes and savour the magic of Santa Barbara. Consisting of two independent villas, this is the perfect spot to stretch out and spend quality time together. The rooms are elegant and filled with plenty of luxurious touches. Remote workers will appreciate the office space and there’s a yard with a grill for magical evenings under the stars. Plus, you can park the car outside and walk or cycle to the beach and the harbour. You’ll also be spoiled for choice when it comes to local restaurants, bars and cafes. 

A Sunset Dream

Just steps from the sand, the buzz of State Street, and the creative energy of the Funk Zone, this pair of designer villas gives you the best of Santa Barbara in one private compound. With four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and two fully equipped kitchens, it’s perfect for families or friends travelling together who still want their own space. Expect vibrant Diego Rivera–inspired interiors, luxurious touches like heated bathroom floors, and sunny front and back patios for lazy afternoons. When you’re not strolling to the harbour or sipping wine nearby, you’ll be unwinding in style in your very own West Beach retreat.

The Palm Tree Sea

This home is nestled in West Beach, one of Santa Barbara's most sought-after neighbourhoods. We can see why that's the case. Not only is the picturesque beach within strolling distance, but you're not far from trendy eateries, bars, and shops, either. During downtime, settle down on the private patio with a glass of local wine. The home was built in 1937, and the decor indoors has captured that unique style. We love the traditional features, though some may find the kitchen and bathroom to be a tad dated. Alongside the comfy bedroom, there's a pull-down Murphy bed in the lounge – ideal for little ones or short trips.


West Beach Belle

Pretty as a daisy, this quaint craftsman-style cottage makes for a romantic bolthole in the heart of Solvang. For those who have not been here or heard of this small town in California's Santa Ynez Valley, it's known for its many wineries, but most importantly for the unexpected Danish-style architecture that's linked to its heritage. You can walk everywhere in this vibrant little town and discover its many eateries, shops and, of course, bakeries. Pick up a Danish and enjoy it with your morning cup of Joe on your front porch, before driving to a winery for a tasting or to the rugged coast for a dip in the ocean – it sounds idyllic, doesn't it? 

Daisy Two

Step into a vibrant, Diego Rivera–inspired villa on Santa Barbara’s coveted West Beach.

When you’re ready to explore, hop on the bikes for a two-wheeled sightseeing tour. Beach calling your name? Sandy shores await just down the street via a set of steps, or you can jump in the car and make the short one-minute drive to Leadbetter beach.

Welcome to Hey Good Lookin', a 1950s ranch with breathtaking mountain views, screened porches, and beautifully designed spaces. Featuring a large desk in one of the bedrooms, this is an ideal escape for a vacation or a remote-working stint, especially given its tranquil position just a short drive from Ojai, the beach in Ventura, and tons of walking and hiking trails.

Offering games, such as ping pong, corn hole and board games, we can guarantee there’s something for everyone here.

Hey Good Lookin'

Built in 1972 and now looked after by your lovely hosts, Jenna and Michael,  this woodlands home is a wonderfully minimalist yet cosy cabin tucked into the foothills of Los Padres National Park. Your hosts have lovingly created a space that invites you to relax, recuperate and engage in creative projects for a vacation you won't soon forget. They've even gathered a series of recipes from professional chefs, developed specifically for the cabin. Filled with original works of art and surrounded by mountains, this lodge is a haven for those that need to get away from the everyday hustle and bustle. Once you book, your hosts will put you in touch with a personal concierge who can take care of everything. Get cosy and comfortable in front of the fire, enjoy lavish dinners under the vaulted ceiling, go for long walks in nature (the Pine Mountain hiking trails are five minutes away) and be sure to sit out at night and gaze up at the stars. 

Written In The Stars

Right on the edge of the Los Padres National Forest (and with all the great hiking that comes with it), this home has everything you could ask for. Sunsets and sunrises are predictably spectacular, but the view of the national forest is gorgeous at any time of day. Then, as night comes in, the sky lights up. On a clear night, you can see the Milky Way from the luxury of the hot tub. The centre of Ojai is only a five-minute drive away, but with the sense of seclusion, it might as well be hours. And if you want to reduce your carbon footprint, it has great eco-credentials too, from solar power to well-drawn water.


Sky Villa

In downtown Santa Barbara, this studio apartment is a pared-back crash pad in a vibrant location. It's a short walk from alfresco eateries, wine bars, and cool cafes – not to mention a ten-minute drive away from the beach. There isn't much in the way of a kitchen, so we suggest taking advantage of the area and dining out instead. You'll also have access to the shared patio where you can unwind with an alfresco cocktail. For a couple or a solo traveller, we think it's a fuss-free find.

Santa Barbara Style

Just a few blocks from Santa Barbara’s State Street, this two-bedroom haven blends the privacy of a home with the vibe of a boutique hotel. Inside, you’ll find over twelve hundred square feet of freshly renovated living space, complete with high-speed internet, TVs in every room, and air conditioning. The fully stocked kitchen makes mealtime easy, while two shared patios with BBQs are perfect for dining in the California sun. When you’re ready to explore, downtown’s museums, breweries, and restaurants are within walking distance, and the beach is less than two miles away – with chairs, towels, and essentials ready for you. Even your furry friend is welcome here (with a fee) – it’s a true family affair!

Santa Barbara Sunshine

Enjoying a breezy, beachy location, this home in Hope Ranch is a short stroll from the soft-sanded shore. You can reach it in three minutes by car or perhaps make the leisurely twenty-minute walk. A stay here includes access to the exclusive and private slice of sand at Hope Ranch Beach. Within the estate, you’ve also got access to equestrian trails, tennis courts and gardens lined with palm trees.

The home itself sits within an acre of garden, with a pristine swimming pool as the crowning glory. A border of towering leafy trees and palms secludes this spot from view, so you can enjoy the sun on a lounger in private and dine alfresco to the sound of birdsong alone. Heading inside, wood-beamed ceilings and a stone fireplace in the living room give a luxurious chalet feel to the place. While the sparkling chandelier above the dining table is pure grandeur. The gourmet kitchen has sparkling granite worktops with plenty of prep space, keeping the chef of the group happy. Heading up to bed, towering mattresses guarantee a good night’s sleep and the master bedroom comes with a bubbling Jacuzzi bath in its marble ensuite.
