Not only is the mushroom dome comfortable and serene, it was also a pleasure meeting Kitty and Michael. They were both so welcoming and kind. The property itself is very beautiful and forested. We were really close to some fabulous hiking and a fun dog-friendly beach. Kitty and Michael welcomed our standard poodle, Jasper, as did their friendly little dogs! Kitty showed us everything we needed to know about the cabin (composting toilet, how the heating system works) so we were well equipped for a comfortable stay. They have music, books, DVDs, and games so there was never a dull moment and we had a lot of fun with the media that was inside the dome. The bed is really comfortable and I got a great night's sleep every night we were there. I would totally come back!

We completely understand why this is #1 on AirBnB! We arrived at the property which is more secluded than we expected and better than we'd hoped. Hummingbirds everywhere and Kitty took the time to share a bit about the property and and houses, then led us to the mushroom dome which was exactly as pictured. The deck is really incredible looking over at redwoods. All the amenities you need, comfortable bed, nice shower and bathroom, and generally just a fantastic experience. Nothing I could share that would improve it except if it was more available so we could have stayed longer :) Thank you!

It felt like you were visiting family. They were so friendly and welcoming! The place was beautiful and the area was woodsy. It was close to the beach, and the boardwalk. Great overall experience!

What a magical little place to stay. We so appreciated the warm welcome and loved the forest, the hummingbirds, the quiet...thank you!

What a fantastic place and absolutely charming hosts. It really is a magical hideaway in the woods and we had a restful, peaceful, restorative stay. Kitty made us feel so welcome. Highly recommended.

The cabin was as cute and well-thought out as can be. The hosts were wonderfully welcoming and thoughtful. The cabin was in a lovely visual setting, yet easily received clearly transmitted voices from above in the family's driveway... so sitting on the balcony of the little cabin was very peaceful after about 9pm, but was often cluttered by conversations in the mid-afternoon. Aside from that, the hosts truly were as friendly as can be, and the cabin was amazingly equipped with everything you might need to just get away and never have to leave if you wanted. It was also very comfortable and kept incredibly clean. We really enjoyed our weekend.

The Mushroom Dome was the perfect ending to our two week trip around California. We needed a quiet, relaxing place to enjoy nature. Kitty was a great host who introduced us to her hummingbirds and gave us great suggestions for stops down the coast. We'd recommend the Dome to any of our friends traveling to California.

Kitty was the most incredible host in the most incredible cabin. She greeted us with her adorable dog and brought us fresh goat milk and even left us a bottle of sparkling cider in the fridge. She told us about all the beautiful hidden treasures and hikes on the property. The cabin itself is beautiful. Great little kitchen, shower, fridge, hot-plate, comfy bed on the lofted top "floor" and a tv with lots of DVDs. Wifi worked great too! Waking up to the sunshine pouring through the trees and into the dome's window was magical. We also had an easy 20 min drive into Santa Cruz downtown for dinner and in the morning we cooked breakfast in the cabin, which we enjoyed on the deck. I only wish we could have stayed more than one night! Thanks Kitty!

DnA's hus og værtskab er fantastisk virkelig en god oplevelse. De var meget flinke og man følte sig velinformeret hele tiden og man var ikke i tvivl om at DnA gerne ville hjælpe hvis man havde et spørgsmål. Stedet i sig selv og DnA som værter er hvad Airbnb handler om - intet mindre end et fantastisk ophold!

DnA's place has scenic views, it is very clean and well-equipped. The stay was wonderful. Highly recommended!!!! Excellent space, awesome hosts.

This was our first time using Airbnb and we could not ask for a more perfect place to stay. The pool house is exactly what we needed. I love that we didn't have to worry about parking or safety with it being gated. And the views were breath taking!! In addition, it was a very private with our own private entrance and so quiet. The bed was super comfortable we slept like babies. We had everything we needed such as fresh towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. We had the true 5 star hotel experience.

This AirBnB place was absolutely amazing! We had the best time and ended our road trip round USA perfectly here. Everything was just great. The view was amazing, the pool house was really clean and private and Alex and Dennis was so helpful. We really enjoyed the possibility to just relax in such a vibrant city as L.A. Hands down - best AirBnB experience ever. We will recommend this to anybody going to L.A.

Such a gorgeous way to spend our time in LA - great hosts and great place! We arrived in the evening and were greeted immediately (we were slightly insane after no sleep and 13 hr flight). The apartment was great and Dennis and Alex were on hand when we needed them. Fab pool which we had to ourselves throughout, well equip kitchen and nice bathroom. Comfy bed and cute private patio. We can't fault this place and would definitely stay again! Ps, very sweet dogs.

It was beautiful, fwlt like home away from home. Loved that they provided so much for tennants. Shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, body wash, beach towels, a few snacks, and drinks. It was so nice not to have to pack all of that. If i didn't read the reviews I would have missed those details!! But loved it and will definitely stay there again.

Had a lovely time at d&a pool house! We went to Vegas so spent 3 days out of the 5 there. But we would stay here again! The views are beautiful, I love the location! We felt very safe it was too cold to go in the pool. We do wish we got to enjoy the place to its fullest but we had so much to do so little time. I would recommend giving it a try! The house is a little gem the view made it very special. Didn't meet the hosts but communication was brilliant. Thank you for the wine and chocolates... Much appreciated!

I hesitate to write a review of this slice of paradise, because I want it all to myself! If I had the money, I would buy the property. A truly incredible experience here. Located a mere 15 - 20 minutes from downtown, but feeling quite cozy and secluded in the hills, this pool house comes with a secluded, private back yard with chairs, a couch, a dining table, and a grill (which we used nightly). Neighbors are nearby, but with the tree-lined fences, you will not see nor hear them. It's in a residential area, but feels like a resort. The pool has a stone texture bottom to it that's unique and lovely. We came in February, so the water was never warm enough to swim in, but the hot tub warms up in 30 minutes, and we were in that nightly! Wonderful view of the stars from that hot tub. Amazing view of the hills. Everything is incredibly clean, and the choice of the furnishings in the Asian-styled pool house were elegant and smart. We ran out of the propane in the grill, and the owners had a replacement for us in 10 minutes. I went with my lady for her Birthday / Valentines week celebration, and this was a perfect romantic spot. Great for either couples or families. There's no reason to ever get a hotel downtown with this place so near.

Brenda es impresionante. Llegué tarde lunes por la noche en su casa, que es fácil de encontrar en un buen barrio. Al llegar allí Brenda se levantó recibirme y darme un viaje rápido de su apartamento. Es un gran lugar y el ambiente es muy agradable. Brenda me dio un mapa de la ciudad y una lista con los lugares para buena comida, lo que ayudó mucho. Ella había sido muy servicial durante toda mi estancia en San Francisco. Lo recomiendo totalmente su lugar y quedarse con ella en cualquier momento estoy en San Francisco.

Este lugar es genial! Desde la ubicación de Brenda, a los animales domésticos magníficos de Brenda que realmente podría no desear otra cosa. cama cómoda, casa limpia y grandes consejos locales son las cosas por mí que se destacaron.

La casa estaba muy limpia, cómoda y cálida. Brenda fue realmente ayudar y amable. Me gustó mucho mi tiempo estar en casa de Brenda.

Un lugar precioso, y Brenda es un gran anfitrión!

Después de mis primeros tres días en lugar de Brenda que tuve la suerte de estar allí por una semana más. Cuando algún otro invitado canceló poco antes de la llegada propuesto, Brenda me llamó y me ofreció que me quedara con ella como ella sabía que yo estaba buscando un lugar para quedarse por un tiempo adicional. Creo que fue escandalosamente bien desde que me recuerde y me piden una estancia adicional en lugar de simplemente abrir el plazo a todo el mundo. La semana fue simplemente impresionante al igual que los pocos días que pasé con ella antes: el lugar es hermoso, limpio y acogedor (no hablar de su perfecta ubicación) y Brenda el mejor anfitrión que puedas imaginar. Me sentí en casa en San Francisco, entre amigos y en un ambiente conocido, aunque la ciudad y Brenda eran completamente nuevas para mí desde el principio. Además de todos los consejos inteligentes que ella me dio a disfrutar de la ciudad, simplemente me encantó nuestras conversaciones en la compañía de un buen vino. Ella incluso me invitó a una abertura artes y sabrosa cena! Con todo San Francisco nunca será lo mismo para mí sin estar en casa de Brenda en ella y sus mascotas dulces (!! simplemente lindo) de la empresa. Muchas gracias!

Quedarse con Brenda fue mi primera experiencia airbnb y uno muy bueno. La ubicación en Castro es sin duda un gran lugar para alojarse en San Francisco. Brenda y su compañera de habitación Serena son ambos muy agradable y servicial. Me lo pasé muy bien allí!

Me gustó mucho el tiempo en Brenda mucho. Me gustó mi habitación. Es pequeño pero encaja, excepto para alguien muy alto o grande. La posición en el Castro es espléndida. Interesante barrio, tiendas bonitas, bares y restaurantes. Brenda y su compañero de piso son personas muy serviciales y amables, y usted puede venir con todas las preguntas. Me gustaría seguir en contacto.

Me gusta mucho la estancia en casa de Brenda. Brenda es cálido y servicial. La plataforma es la misma que las fotos muestran en el perfil. Su piso también se encuentra en una excelente comunidad, buenos lugares seguros, limpios, y muchos para comer y beber se encuentran dentro de las distancias a pie. Definitivamente voy a volver si vuelvo a SF en el futuro.

This place is the REASON you stay with AIR BNB! It is amazing and will soon be a prize jewel in the Air BnB catalog. Perfectly put together, it feels like a one bedroom apartment and has all the things, if not more, a hotel offers when it comes to amenities, plus YOU ARE ON A BOAT! We woke up and had coffee on the deck and literally saw dolphins jumping about 20 feet from us. The boat is not in center city (across the bridge) but it is super esay to get to down town using the free hourly shuttles and water taxis. So this should not be an excuse for missing one of the best places to stay in the city. In addition, the marina is attached to a resort that has all the resort things you would want (bars, pools, beaches, fire pits, etc.) Finally, Justin and Shauna go out of their way to make sure the experience is perfect. A must stay.

My husband and I had a nice time on the boat. It was beautifully decorated and the we were rocked to sleep by the water. Hosts were very accommodating and responsive when needed. We would love to try one of their other properties next visit!

It was wonderful! Exactly as advertised.

So fun! We celebrated our 5 year anniversary for a few days on this house boat and it was perfect! Justin was a wonderful Host, there to welcome us when we arrived and the location was a quick 7 minute drive to downtown. We loved our stay and would definitely come back!

I did not want to leave!! I've been to Charleston many times but never stayed in this gem! If it's available, I will be there every time I go back! There was nothing like waking up to sunrises on the water and being rocked to sleep at night while looking at the ravenel bridge lights! Justin and Ashley made everything simple!

What a great location near Downtown Charleston, and an epic way to enjoy a city built on the water. Chuck made everything easy as could be and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Thanks for everything.

The host canceled this reservation 21 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

This was my first experience with airBnb and it definitely set the standards high for my next trip! There's no better way to get the full experience of this beautiful port city than staying on a boat. The houseboat itself is impeccably done, clean, and comfortable. The expansive bedroom windows give an unhindered view of the sunrise over the water, where we also saw dolphins jumping everyday. Justin went out of his way to make this a great stay for us! This is definitely a must if you're coming to charleston. The hotel amenities and free trolley to downtown are definitely a great bonus!

Disfrutamos mucho de nuestra estancia con Bibi. La cena fue deliciosa, con una buena conversación - e incluía un postre fabuloso con velas para el cumpleaños de mi marido. La yurta era muy cómoda y la ubicación es hermosa. Bibi ofreció sugerencias estupendas para el senderismo. Muchas gracias por todo!

Bibi era muy servicial con el registro. Debido a nuestro viaje por carretera y del tráfico, nuestra hora estimada de llegada cambió un par de veces y terminó siendo bastante tarde. La yurta estaba limpio, acogedor y cómodo.

Todo era tan refrescante! Bibi es una verdadera delicia para hablar también. La yurta ofrece el entorno perfecto para rejuvenecer y relajarse. El espacio abierto creado gran conversación y la comida era nutritiva. Pero en serio la comida era increíble. Definitivamente voy a volver cada vez que visite el sur de California

gente encantadora que eran muy acogedor y muy bien situado, gracias por tenernos.

Yo estaba buscando una vía de escape y eso fue exactamente lo que conseguimos. La yurta era increíble, y Bibi y Bruce, y todos eran tan acogedor! Las vistas eran para morirse, y sus recomendaciones para la comida y hacer turismo dieron en el clavo! A 10 de los 10, me quedaría aquí de nuevo!

Mi marido y yo nos la yurta! Era tan privado y tranquilo. Tuvimos el placer de tener un par de comidas increíbles de Bibi en la casa - es muy recomendable hacer los arreglos para al menos uno. Bibi ofreció consejos para caminatas hermosas pocos minutos. Una maravillosa estancia.

Bibi es una absoluta delicia! El alojamiento era justo como lo describen y mi familia y yo eran muy cómodas. Bibi hizo todo lo posible para asegurarse de que teníamos todo lo que necesitábamos y nos sentimos especialmente bienvenida durante la conversación con mi madre en español. Los niños y yo nos aprovechamos de su piscina alcalina que mi cuerpo dolorido realmente necesita más de lo que sabía. Disfrutamos de los jardines y mis hijos gustó especialmente las gallinas y los pollitos. Nos encantó nuestra estancia y tengo planes de volver pronto. Gracias Bibi !!

Nos encantó la estancia en el Yurt !! Es muy cómodo y todos nosotros dormimos muy bien !! Bibi tenía unas recomendaciones sobre cosas que hacer en la zona; asegúrese de revisar Point Dume y las otras playas de la zona! Bibi nos dio consejos sobre una caminata local que era muy divertido y pudimos disfrutar de la piscina maravilloso después! ¡¡Gracias!!

We arrived an hour early, but Karen and Ron made us feel very welcome. The cottage is wonderfully quirky and very spacious. There is a spot where you can swim very close by, and from there views across the bay to the Captain Cook monument. We hired a kayak from a local operator and paddled over (about half an hour each way). Very quiet restful spot, with lots to do nearby. Would happily stay here again.

me and my husabnd fell in loved with the place right away! wish we could stay there longer~~ the place is beautiful and even better than the pictures~ we loved staying there so much~

We had a wonderful time at Kealakekua Bay. We enjoyed the open balistyled cottage very much - it is something special and adventurous - unforgettable! We liked the sound of the ocean and the closeness to nature. It is the perfect place to go swimming with the dolphins and to explore the bay by SUP or kayak. Karen was a very friendly and attentive host. When ever coming back to Kealakekua Bay, this is definitively our place to stay again. But if you look for a standard hotelroom... this is not your place. This is a real alternative gem! Thanks a lot to Karen - Mahalo, Andrea & Christoph

My mom and I were looking for a nice place to stay on the Kona side. Captain Cook is a relaxing and warm place to stay.

Our stay at the cottage was nothing less than spectacular. It was our first Airbnb reservation and we feel like we hit the jackpot. Karen and Ron are great hosts. The cottage is even more beautiful than it looks in the photos. It is very clean, well lit and private. Everything you need is there, and then some. The kitchen is complete with all the basics, the outdoor shower has great water pressure and we had hot water all the time. It's the perfect balance between rustic and comfortable. Karen and Ron are very knowledgeable and provided us with great recommendations for food, activities, and hidden gems on the Big Island. We are looking forward to stay with them again.

To be honest, I wasn’t pleased with our stay at the Bali Cottage. We booked in July when we got a great deal on a flight, and I didn’t see any reviews about the noise or mosquitoes. The photos must be dated because the yard is unkempt, and the cottage has spots of gecko poop on the lamps and such. There are large spiders hanging above the shower, and the mat you stand on while showering has holes in it that hurt your feet. At night, the creakiness of the tree that goes through the cottage is very loud even with earplugs in. There are little vases with flowers in them, but there are clearly mosquito eggs/larvae in them. Also there is a pond with standing water that I’m sure aids in the production of the tiny mosquitoes. This was a particular pain for me since I am allergic to mosquito bites. Despite using bugspray with DEET, I got several bites. The net around the bed helps keep the mosquitoes away, but I still managed to get bites from something on my torso. They definitely weren’t mosquito bites since I didn’t get the usual allergic reaction to them. The bay is quite nice, but there is no sandy beach nearby. It is a great spot to watch the sunset. We were not warned of a monthly tsunami alarm test, so when it went off on December 2 we panicked. After googling the alarm, we found that it was a test, but also found out that this area was washed out by the 2011 tsunami. In fact, this area was the hardest hit in Hawaii with 7 homes lost. The hosts were kind and gracious, but very absent, which I’m sure is fine for most people. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again and neither would my fiancé.

We loved our time at the Bali Cottage. Karen and Don were amazing hosts. We ended up with a rainy few days, but were still able to enjoy the space, the beach access, and their sweet cat Purry.

This air bnb was totally unique and completely magic, like a jungle hideaway. Loved the outside kitchen and shower. Great snorkeling just outside the house. Look forward to coming back.
