This cute little house is even better in person. It was so comfortable and adorable. It has a great backyard with multiple sitting areas. We walked all over town from the house. It’s in a great location, close to everything…beach, restaurants and shopping. I would definitely recommend staying here and will stay again if I’m back in SB in the future!

We truly enjoyed our stay in the lovely 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom cottage. The location can’t be beat as you’re close to everything that Santa Barbara has to offer. The full kitchen, lovely living/dining area, and backyard space were our favorite spots. Our daughter picked oranges, we walked up & down State St, walked to the wharf, walked to the beaches, walked to the playgrounds, and happened upon the Summer Solstice parade & festival! Truly an enjoyable stay with easy to use temperature controls & A/C. Nighttime movies, World Cup Games, and watching shows was easy on the smart TV with handy HDMI access. While this was a pricey stay for us, it was worth it due to the ease of access to everything Santa Barbara has to offer & the lovely appointed home. We’ll most likely be back at some point in the coming years

Our stay was fabulous! The location couldn’t be better - totally walkable to everything downtown Santa Barbara has to offer. The house itself is so charming. It’s an older home that has been updated with features that still match the charm of the home but also make for a comfortable stay. The backyard space is so wonderful for families. 10/10 would stay here again!

Perfect Birthday Weekend

We are three retired work friends who visit Santa Barbara often. This was one of our most favorite stays! Perfectly walkable location, comfortable beds, lovely backyard areas, and quiet privacy. Off street parking was a plus as we hardly used the car! Thank you for providing such a wonderful spot for us to celebrate.

This house was in an excellent location for us, as we took the train. It is extremely close to the station. It’s also a very short walk to the beach, the pier, State Street, and several wine tasting spots. We enjoyed drinking our morning coffee in the backyard and relaxed in the living room with the windows wide open, enjoying the fresh air and the chirping birds. We also made good use of the fireplace in the evenings. It would have been nice if there were a Keurig and pods or some nice ground coffee, but Starbucks is only a 3 minute walk away.
