Amazing Stay!
The cottage was simply amazing! It had everything we needed for a great extended weekend. The place is immaculate and fully stocked with anything you might need. We enjoyed a quiet evening by the fire pit and also took advantage of the shared pool and hot tub. Would highly recommend!

Wonderful Santa Barbara Vacation!
What a lovely cottage! My family enjoyed our stay in this peaceful Santa Barbara guest cottage so much. Close proximity to all that SB has to offer and the bonus of a pool and jacuzzi for when you want to be lazy and stay in. The owners were great communicators and the accommodations were lovely. Would stay again in the future!

Heavenly Cottage
Santa Barbara offers great hiking and beaching and a perfect home-base for exploring places like Montecito, Ojai and Simi Valley. This scenic and peaceful cottage in the foothills is close to La Cumbre Plaza and all that Santa Barbara offers. We enjoyed coffee in the morning in the beautiful sunroom while watching the birds, and then returning to the well-appointed cottage to make dinner in the full kitchen and/or grill on the patio. The beds and bedrooms were perfect, and privacy was no issue at all. This experience was a 10 out of 10 with no problems at all.

Lovely house with a view
We spent 4 nights in the very comfortable cottage. Our hosts were extremely helpful and communicative. The house was well-supplied, clean and quiet. Also, the views were amazing, both distant to the ocean and nearby to the birds at the feeder. We would love to stay here again.

Perfectly appointed
We had everything we could ask for in a place to stay. So much thought and attention to detail went into designing and decorating this lovely cottage. It was so easy to take care of while providing us with all the room and amenities to dine in, enjoy the beautiful sunshine on the patio, and even to watch satellites launch into space. We highly recommend this property without any hesitancy.

Amazing property and hosts
We stayed here for about a month while my wife was recovering from surgery in Santa Barbara. The property is amazing and has everyone one could want especially an amazing sun room with views of the Pacific ocean and sunset, laundry, A/C, and a really sweet nook to work out of with a nice office chair and wired ethernet. The location was perfect, about 15 minutes from anything you could want to get to - restaurants, attractions, groceries, etc. The neighborhood was fun to walk in with amazing views and a good hill climbing workout! The hosts were awesome. They live next door, and provided their cell phone numbers, and were amazingly kind, responsive, and accommodating. We've stayed at VRBO/AirBnbs in the US and abroad, and this was the best property we've ever stayed at, and we'd come back in heartbeat.

Two couples in for a long weekend to enjoy the city, the beach, and the local mountains. Easy commutes by auto to all locales. Clean, very comfortable, and enjoyed evenings back at cottage for evening meals and indoor or outdoor rest & relaxation. We received prompt response from owners to few needs.
