Weekend Trip to Dreamy California Coast Airstreams

What a fun and memorable experience! Airstream #1 was clean, cute and comfortable with all the necessities. We very much enjoyed using the fire pit and watching the waves roll in. The location was excellent too - just minutes from town, but on a secluded bluff. We do wish airstream #1 would have been slightly cheaper since it’s the same price as airstream #2 & #3, which both have unobstructed/ larger views and more land space. However, it was still incredibly gorgeous and unique. We really appreciated how communicative Mark was too! We would love to return with friends for more airstream living!

Weekend Trip to Dreamy California Coast Airstreams

I enjoyed a lovely weekend in Airstream 3. The setting offers incredible views of the Pacific and the California coastline, and the arrival instructions were very clear. The airstream is comfortable, well-appointed, and includes all expected amenities aside from food. The cozy interior and the sound of the rain contributed to a very relaxing atmosphere. The only drawback is that Airstream 3 is outfitted with twin beds, which may not be ideal for couples. This wasn’t clearly noted in the online description, so it would be helpful to include that for future guests. Overall, a beautiful and memorable stay.

Amazing property. Really appreciated the views, the Adirondack and firepit setup, and pizza setup. The air streams were cozy and had the essentials. The sites are close together but you can either invite your friends or make new ones. I hope to go back!

A Truly Memorable Stay. This was a wonderful experience. The quiet and calm made it incredibly relaxing—even our dog was completely at ease. On our first day, we were lucky enough to watch humpback whales and sea lions hunting just off the coast. They were so close, we could easily see them from the cliff's edge. We were thrilled to see them return on two other afternoons during our stay. Wildlife was abundant throughout—hawks, a mother coyote, and even a golden eagle made appearances. Please remember to be respectful during your time in nature. These incredible animals depend on us to make the right choices and give them the space and peace they need. The nights were cool and rainy, but our Airstream was warm and cozy, offering the perfect shelter and adding to the charm of the trip. Our host, Dean, was fantastic—quick to respond to any questions while still giving us the privacy we were looking for. All in all, this was one of the best vacation experiences we've had in a long time. Highly recommend!

First impression?…. Speechless! You are greated with a smile from heaven just as soon as you turn off the road onto the parking area behind the trailer. The sun glistening off both the ocean and the airstream itself was simply breathtaking.

Incredible views and very private despite proximity of other sites. Loved the attention to detail, making the sites cozy and welcoming. There are instructions everywhere for people new to airstreams. Could watch the waves crash on the beach and the birds fly by for hours and then got the added perk of seeing the stars from bed. at night.
