Moonlight Kingdom
Nestled into the breathtaking landscape of the Ojai Valley, this traditional hacienda has been completely reimagined to create a space of serenity and calmness with luxurious and modern finishes for the twenty-first-century traveller. Sitting on five acres of private land, there's a pool and spa area, an outdoor kitchen and fire pit, a yoga platform, and lots of fun activities for children and adults. Ataraxia is made up of two distinct homes: a modern structure that oozes relaxed luxury as it wraps itself around the outdoor entertaining area, while the property's original hacienda has been fully refurbished to create a tranquil guest house. We say it's time to escape to the Ojai Valley! *If you want to make use of the yoga platform, you'll have to bring your own yoga mats*Only one person is to use the trampoline at a time*Please also take extra care around the unfenced pool if you are travelling with little children*It's possible to a...More Details

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. *Unfortunately, pets are not allowed here.*Smoking is strictly forbidden on the entire premises.*We highly recommend having a car in this area.*This home has quite a lot of stairs and is therefore not suitable for those with limited mobility.*T...More Details
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. *The pool can be heated for an additional $150 a day – let your host know if you’d like that*The garage can also be rented as a work space for $400/day. It can fit up to 12 people and has whiteboards, a large meeting table, standing desk space and a couch area with TV that is connected to an AppleTV and DirecTV*While there is t...More Details
