Our story

How it all started

We stumbled into hosting almost by accident. After spending years renting out our Venice Beach house during summers while we escaped to Big Bear, guests kept asking if they could book both properties back-to-back. That's when we realized we'd accidentally built something special.

Today, Cabin & Coast Stays is our full-time passion. We obsess over every detail — from the quality of the linens to the local coffee we stock in each kitchen. Our goal is simple: we want you to feel like a local, not a tourist.

Both properties are personally managed by us. When you message us, you're talking to the people who actually own and care for these homes — not a property management company.

Personal touch

Every stay is personally overseen by us. We respond to messages within the hour and are always available if something comes up.

Obsessive quality

Hotel-quality linens, fully stocked kitchens, curated local guides — we sweat the details so you don't have to.

Transparent pricing

No surprise fees. What you see is what you pay. We believe honest pricing builds trust.

Local knowledge

We've lived in both communities for years. Our guest guides are packed with the spots locals actually love.
