California offers a variety of landscapes, boasting majestic mountain scenery and palm-fringed beaches that couples seeking a romantic getaway would love. Big Sur, along Highway One, features cliff drops with thrilling views of the Pacific Ocean, while Carmel-by-the Sea, a seaside resort, has an enchanting ambiance with cultural events and fine restaurants. Santa Barbara offers couples sandy beaches, plenty of sunshine, and glorious sunsets. In Sonoma County, you can enjoy hot-air balloon rides or indulge in biking and hiking on rolling, hilly vineyards. Adventurous couples can engage in water sports at Santa Catalina Island. You can also explore the many glamping spots in the state. There are amazing locations for a destination wedding in California as well. To help you with accommodation, we have carefully selected the most romantic Airbnb vacation rentals in California, USA.

Events to look out for:

1. Pet-friendly abode with an outdoor hot tub, Yucca Valley (from USD 159)

Pet Friendly Nature Retreat

The property offers spectacular views of the surrounding area, allowing guests to experience nature at its finest. I’d love to spend a relaxing evening on the rental’s patio, which has ample seating and a fire pit. You can also unwind and soak up the rays comfortably on the lay-flat loungers. An outdoor barbecue grill is available for those who love to cook.

Relax and rejuvenate in the outdoor hot tub while savoring the stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. It has a high-definition TV equipped with Roku and fast Wi-Fi for your viewing pleasure. This is a pet-friendly abode so you can bring your furry friend too.

“Rocky Roost is a beautiful, intimate space with clean design and gorgeous views. The hot tub is a great place to wind down and stargaze. In short, this is a perfect spot for a couple looking to get away for a few days…” - by Thomas (San Bernardino, California)

“Immaculate views! Thank you for such a beautiful experience at Rocky Roost. The home was very cozy with amazing views. From the Fireplace, Hot Tub, and the Cowboy Pool, this home had everything we needed. Great location, very clean, and awesome photo opportunities. We had some clear skies during our stay and looking up at the stars at night was amazing. We even hiked up the boulder hill and got some great pics. This is exactly what my Wife and I needed for our 18 year anniversary!…” - by Jonathan (Los Angeles, California)

5. Beachfront apartment with a deck, Malibu (from USD 606)

Beach Access Waterfront

For a memorable vacation, book this beachfront rental in California for two. It boasts large windows that let in natural light while also maximizing your views. The lounge area features comfortable couches draped in white and overlooking the sea. The walls and ceiling are also white, which I think gives the room a greater appeal.

The kitchen comes with a cooker, oven, microwave, and other modern appliances, ideal for home cooking. There is a large fridge with a freezer compartment to keep your drinks cold and groceries fresh. Couples can enjoy stunning sea views and magnificent sunsets from the deck.

What couples are saying about their stay:

“This is THE perfect spot for a romantic and relaxing getaway. All of our expectations were exceeded from the cozy beach bungalow to the ocean lapping up right against the house during high tide to a beautiful, rugged beach to walk and explore during low tide. Access to the beach is just 4 houses down to easily get to our daily walk…” - by Shannon (Prior Lake, Minnesota)

“…The setting is incredibly romantic, you’re literally on top of the Pacific Ocean and can’t help but be grateful to be there to take in every sunrise and sunset. This space is an absolute gem that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a little oasis and reprieve from daily life.” - by Kristin (Vancouver, Canada)

6. Wooden cabin with a loveseat, Albion (from USD 300)

Nature Retreat

Enjoy tranquil settings most ideal for a romantic date at this wooden cabin nestled among towering Californian redwood forests. In the living room is a loveseat, which will quickly become your favorite spot. An 11-step ladder leads to the attic bedroom that also offers forest views. If you are an outdoor enthusiast like me, you’ll appreciate the proximity to several hiking trails.

A two-burner stove is available, but you must come with cooking supplies, and there is a mini-fridge for your drinks. There is no TV, which is a good thing so that you can get cozy with your partner. On cold days, a wood-burning stove warms the place.

What couples are saying about their stay:

“This was our second stay at the cabin and we cant praise it enough. It’s the perfect romantic getaway in the woods, yet close to Mendocino, the beautiful coastline, and some incredible restaurants. I’m sure we will be back next year to enjoy this magical cabin again!” - by Kelsey (Los Angeles, California)

“The beautiful cabin with all the amenities (including hot shower) situated amidst redwood trees and close to the ocean is a perfect romantic getaway for a couple (may not be advisable for a couple with kids due to steep staircase leading to the bedroom in the loft). Karen was an awesome host who welcomed us with a bottle of wine and chocolate which we thoroughly enjoyed. We totally loved the cabin and the surrounding areas (Navarro ocean point, Anderson valley wineries) and will definitely return.” - by Rekha (Spicewood, Texas)

7. Tropical-themed guest house with a teepee, Topanga Canyon (from USD 145)

Nature Retreat Waterfront

One of the best Airbnbs in California for couples is this one-bedroom guest house on a tropical-themed property with ponds and waterfalls. A couple seeking a romantic outing will find paradise here. There is a comfortable queen-size bed and a kitchenette for in-house meal preparation.

Outdoors is a teepee for daytime lounging and a front open deck with a swing and daybed. There’s also a hot tub for two with lighting for maximum romance. On the central patio is a fire pit with seats and a table.

What couples are saying about their stay:

“Darrell’s property was like stepping into a tropical paradise, amazing features throughout a sprawling mountainside oasis. This was a perfect romantic getaway for two. Easy access to Los Angeles but great distance from the hustle and bustle. Will definitely stay again next time im in the area” - by John (Chicago, Illinois)

“…This is a little piece of paradise! The perfect romantic getaway, or place to find rest and solitude. The canyon is so peaceful and there are these giant chimes in the trees that have a deep resonating sound. I loved sitting by the waterfall, eyes closed, just listening to the sounds and appreciating the moment…” - by Mary (Kingsburg, California)

8. Seaside cabana with a stone fireplace, Laguna Beach (from USD 159)

Beach Access Waterfront

For your next couples’ getaway, this Airbnb in California is within walking distance of the beach. The cabana features a private deck where you can spend days soaking in the views with crashing waves in the background. Head indoors at night and cozy up next to the stone fireplace.

While there is no kitchen here, mini-markets, restaurants, and bars are just a two-minute walk away. Nonetheless, this cabin has a coffee maker to help you get your caffeine fix, plus a mini-refrigerator to keep your drinks cold.

What couples are saying about their stay:

“Jynel’s place was very clean and cozy. Everything worked as expected, and the short walks to the beautiful beach were a romantic and refreshing experience for my wife and I. Also, we were minutes away from all sorts of nice restaurants, galleries, parks, and art galleries. We can’t think of a single thing to complain about. Highly recommended for a romantic getaway.” - by Patrick (Glendale, Arizona)

“My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Cabana. Although it is attached to the main house, we found it to be very private and quite. We really enjoyed the stone fireplace, the quiet neighborhood and the short walk to the beach. We highly recommend it.” - by Susan

9. Oceanfront abode with a private hot tub, Malibu (from USD 211)

Beach Access Waterfront Good Neighborhood

Expect endless ocean views and gorgeous sunsets in this cozy abode for two. I think the best feature of the property is the fire pit area overlooking the bay. You can sit here for hours watching the sun melt into the ocean and creating a vibrant painting in the sky. The outdoor hot tub with LED lighting is perfect for late-night soaks.

If you’re new parents visiting with your infant, make use of the travel crib provided here. Other useful amenities include a fully equipped kitchen and an electric vehicle charger.

What couples are saying about their stay:

“…Although we were staying in a room in their home, we had a lot of privacy with our own bathroom. They also offered cold drinks, beach towels robes for the hot tub beautiful lawn chairs. My boyfriend proposed proposed to me and they offered their congratulations and set up Fire pit outside for us and offered a champagne glasses for our bottle of champagne that we brought. Super friendly and it was incredible views of the ocean and peaceful quiet backyard where we laid and looked at the stars after we went in the hot tub…” - by Josie (Long Beach, California)

“The best stay I ever had. I spent a night with my girlfriend and the place is perfect for that, super romantic. The hot tub with the great view to the ocean and the nature are gorgeous. And Shelly and Paul prepared a delicious breakfast. I recommend this place 100%!” - by Damian (Beverly Hills, California)

10. Charming studio-style cottage amidst redwood trees, Felton (from USD 124)

Nature Retreat

This is a peaceful hideout for two surrounded by tall redwood trees. You’ll find all the privacy you need despite being on shared property, thanks to the surrounding fence. I think what couples would appreciate most is the private hot tub located outdoors on a wooden patio. The fairy lights and fire table add to the hob tub area’s romantic vibe. You will also find a hammock here to cuddle under the stars with your partner.

It’s a bit difficult to access transportation facilities due to the property’s off-beat location, so it’s best to bring your car along. The hosts offer free parking!

What couples are saying about their stay:

“it was a great cozy place, perfect for your romantic getaway with your special someone. The outdoor shower and fire pit under the stars was my favorite!…” - by Maritza (California, United States)

“I surprised my partner for their birthday with this spot and they were thrilled. This place is an oasis of romantic peace and quiet. The long soaks in the hot tub on a cold night were blissful. Nick and Shannon are incredible hosts, whose only concern seemed to be making sure we had an incredible birthday getaway. They left us a birthday surprise when we arrived, which was so thoughtful…” - by Clover (Oakland, California)

11. Rustic cottage with a sunken hot tub, Occidental

Nature Retreat

This rustic cottage features a covered furnished deck surrounded by towering redwoods. You can dine here or pass the time over a glass of wine. The place has a sauna where I’d suggest having a detox session after a day out. You only need to bring essential oil. In the yard is a sunken hot tub, another blissful area where you can spend quality time with your partner.

Another section of the deck has a fireplace with rocking chairs, perfect for post-dinner relaxation. As you retire to bed, you can watch a movie on the flat-screen TV, plus the bedroom has a wood-burning stove to keep both of you warm.
