"Short term rental was never easier perfectly suited for accessing every site that local Santa Barbara offers. We walked to the beach, the pier, shops, night life, the zoo and great restaurants. The cottage was charming, spacious, and perfectly clean. We loved our evening glasses of wine on the patio, the incredibly comfortable beds, the driveway parking, the quiet and ever so friendly neighbors and community. We had no issues, and found all prior and posted instructions clear. We will be...

"Bill is an amazing host. This property has had a lot of thought and energy put into it to make it very cozy, comfortable, and convenient. The two fire places are wonderful and the house had every convenience we needed. Everything was very clean and neat. There’s also multiple outdoor spaces where you can go enjoy some fresh air and lovely gardens. This is an absolutely wonderful place to stay!"

"My favorite VRBO. Spotless, warm and cozy. Hillary has supplied everything including spices, aluminum foil and robes no less! The cottage and the gardens are something out of a Hans Christian fairy tale. Hillary is incredibly responsive and clearly takes great care of the cottage with love. Pure perfection."

Forest Cottage in Big Sur
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (11)
"To be honest, the pictures provided of the cottage dont do it enough justice. Palo Colorado Rd is initially intimidating but as long as you turn your lights on, take it slow and be cautious of other vehicles its a wonderful road to drive through. The cottage is plesantly private and has everything you would want/need. Both trails are well taken care of, felt very safe and at the end of each trail is a place to relax on chairs or a hammock. Palo Colorado Canyon is absolutely stunning and you...

Beautiful 5 bedroom home just steps from the beach
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (13)
"We stayed here for a long weekend with our group of 7 adults and 1 infant. We absolutely loved this property, and it was the perfect place for our large group. We would love to come back again in a heartbeat! The three levels of the property worked out great, since our group included multiple families from all across the U.S. Having separation with the three levels for sleeping and also communal places to gather, like the game room and living room, worked out great for our group. Everyone had...

"Lovely place to stay and a great location. Perfect for a couple. Only thing to consider changing is the couch. Extremely hard and uncomfortable. Otherwise, the place perfect. Loved the closed in patio. Beautiful bathroom too!"

Styled Montecito Cottage in Quiet Neighborhood
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (123)
"While still being relatively close to the center of Montecito and not far from downtown Santa Barbara, the cottage was quiet and very private. Parking is also a breeze. I have a large truck that can be hard to park in other places I've stayed in SB. No issues here with parking always available right in front of the cottage. The cottage was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Pat was very quick to respond to questions. We'll definitely stay here again if we are in town."

Moonglow: Forest tranquility minutes from downtown Carmel.
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (221)
"This serene cottage was exactly what we needed. The bed was impressively comfortable and allowed us to get full night's of sleep, which is not the norm. The location could not have been better, central to everything but nestled away to provide the quiet we desired. The patio itself was a little oasis away from the hustle of daily life. And Chuck and Diane were absolutely wonderful, welcoming hosts."

"We loved our stay at the cottage! The house was immaculate and comfortable. I loved the thoughtful details like the record player with vintage albums (my daughter enjoyed playing them!), the shampoo and body wash in the shower, and the Nespresso pods. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was nicely stocked. The location is very convenient for grocery shopping (nearby Whole Foods and Trader Joe's) and you're two minutes away from Pizza My Heart. Brayton was very responsive and helpful with...

"Such a unique property with lots of charm and character! This was my first time in an airstream, and I was delighted by the experience. I stayed as a solo traveler, and I'm sure it could feel a little cramped for a couple (I stayed in the "Deluxe" which is the smallest version), but as long as you like each other I'm sure it would be fine ;) Extra props to the staff, whose communication was outstanding and made everything so easy. They also check in with you throughout your stay to make sure...
