12mi from Malibu · 1 site
If calendar says it’s not available, message me to double check. Sometimes we have availability, but we keep it blocked to prevent double bookings on another platform. This is perfect for a large camping group that needs a home base. Nestled in Malibu’s Deer Creek Canyon, this modern home offers stunning ocean views, surrounded by protected National Park land and breathtaking mountain vistas. Unwind in the outdoor soaking tub, play bocce ball, or practice yoga on the deck. There’s plenty of space (more than you can see in the photos) for RVs, Airstreams, tents, and more. Additional pads on the property are available. Enjoy sunsets from the shaded farm table or one of the many cozy spots around the property. Inside, natural light pours in from every angle. Hiking trails and beach access are just minutes away, making this the ultimate outdoor escape.

Zava Ranch - Avocado & Lemon Grove

2. Zava Ranch - Avocado & Lemon Grove

23mi from Malibu · 2 sites
A cozy stand-alone cottage (sleeps 2) and a guest house (sleeps 10) are situated in the heart of our 20-acre working lemon and avocado ranch in Somis (Ventura County) on California’s Central Coast. Wake to birdsong over the citrus groves, sip coffee on the patio, swing in a hammock, or hike up the hill to catch panoramic views of the California countryside and big-sky sunsets. Breathe in the fresh, citrus-blossom–infused air as you wander through palms, pines, and eucalyptus groves. Walk up the hill to take in the beautiful sunset over the rolling farmland. Pick your own lemons and cook in your fully equipped kitchen. We’re super friendly to kids, pets, and guests with limited mobility. Whether you’re looking for a farm stay, romantic getaway, family reunion, friends’ retreat, small group gathering, or a quiet place for reflection and self-care, this is your peaceful escape. Charming, relaxing, and comfortable — guests can explore most of the 20-acre orchard and the gated community, with plenty of opportunities for scenic hikes and bike rides. Owners/hosts live on the property. Distance to favorites • Ventura/Oxnard beaches – ~30 min • Shopping, restaurants, and attractions – 20–30 min • Conejo Valley / Santa Monica Mountains – ~30 min • Ventura, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Moorpark, Santa Paula – 20–30 min • Camarillo Premium Outlets – ~20 min • Ojai – 40–45 min • Los Angeles / LAX – ~1 hr • Santa Barbara – ~1 hr • Local wineries and farm stands – 10–25 min
