Will definitely return.
The quaint cottage is as the name implies, darling, quaint and wonderfully comfortable. I’ve just spent 5 weeks here and it was too short. The owner has outfitted the kitchen with every imaginable utensil, wine stoppers, garlic press, spices, laundry products. The first floor bedroom is where I stayed, with a small adjoining bathroom, could have used a shelf for toiletries. The second floor is more spacious but accessible by two short flights of stairs. I’ve enjoyed my stay here, and grew to love the quietness of the tiny street, and it became more attractive as the construction across the street came to a conclusion. Was not fond of their porta-potty -10 feet from my front door, but that was removed a week before I left. The management company is outstanding and was quick to respond to calls when small issues arose. Kudos to our property specialist Ann-Marie who was a terrific problem solver. Office staff was quick to relay messages. I would encourage you to stay there, and I am anxious to rebook for next year. I definitely would come back next year.

Comfortable cottage, great location
We just spent 5 lovely weeks in Santa Barbara and were very happy with our cottage. It was a short walk to downtown and a medium walk to the beach. Easy to get to a car rental location and a well-stocked kitchen. The garden and outdoor eating space was wonderful! It’s small - ideal for 2.

Love SB
Upon arrival we checked in and looked around the cute cottage. We didn’t know the front porch faced another house and just off an ally but didn’t mind. However, there was mold around the upstairs tub that wasn’t able to get remediated while we were there. There’s no ventilation in the upstairs bathroom. There was a heatwave and no portable AC was available for use. The Gardner only showed up once instead of weekly. We drove in from out of state and couldn’t do anything to cool off or buy a portable AC since everyone was sold out. The property manager called to show the property. We’ve stayed at many places and never have been asked to show a property we’re staying in. There are mice in the backyard around the BBQ in the ivy. We didn’t use the BBQ as a result. We were booked for five weeks and had to cut our stay short after no sleep and being exhausted from the heat after a few weeks. Jill and Meagan were very responsive and as helpful as possible given the situation. Beware if you have animals. The fees are higher than stated in the VRBO listing. Super cute cottage. Just needs some work and portable AC for use when it’s hot. Box fans don’t cut it but are provided. The kitchen is awesome and has everything you need to cook. Sad we had to leave SB early.

The Cottage was more a little house and was very well stocked - particularly the kitchen. It is nice to have all the implements available that you have at home. Super comfortable little place and great location near State Street. We loved the deck and breakfasted out there every morning - in February!

Small space with some nice features.
The house is cute, well located. It is much smaller then we expected. The master bedroom is large. The master bath tiny. The main bathroom very small as well. The 2nd bedroom was a adequate size. The “living space” was very small and even though the house sleeps 6.(using a comfortable but complicated sofa bed). The house does not seat 6. Over all it was a good location, Worked fine. However not a place you want to order in and enjoy if you have more than 4 people. The key punch pad on the door worked well for useability.

Great Location!
Cottage was great! Tucked away so felt pretty private. Good size space and outdoor area for my family (2 adults, 2 year old and 3 month old) plus our german shepherd. Location was perfect! Easy access to downtown and lots of places to eat. It was nice for my husband to walk down the street to grab us a quick bite to eat while I stayed in and watched the kids. Was also nice to stroll the kids downtown if we wanted to get out without going too far or having to drive. We also went to a near by dog beach only a 10 minute drive away!

All communication and instructions were timely and easy to follow. The house was charming, and the backyard was a great place to hang out and eat meals. We were very appreciate of the very well stocked kitchen since we love to cook. The location was perfect, it allowed us to walk just about everywhere. The beach chairs and towels were an added plus. We would defiantly stay there again.

Perfect cottage in downtown SB!
This house is absolutely lovely, a true gem in the heart of SB! It was a perfect getaway for my family and I. The house was super cozy and comfortable and stocked with everything we needed. You can tell the owners put a lot of TLC into the house because the place was very clean and well-maintained. Proximity to downtown was also wonderful. We loved walking to the shops and restaurants every day. The management was also very accommodating and quick to respond. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!

We loved the central location of the cottage. It was easy to get to everything in town. The cottage was exceptionally clean, comfortable furniture and beds and had plenty of room for 4 people. It would have been just fine to have a 5th. Highly recommended!

We had a very nice stay at this cottage. While the proximity to restaurants and shops was super convenient, we didn’t like the neighborhood, which was basically an alley. I would recommend this home to others.

This was such a perfect place for our time in Santa Barbara. The home was perfect for our family of 4. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, all brand new. Beds were comfortable and the porch and back yard were private and quiet. The owners were very accommodating. The only thing that was a little hard was the lighting in the master bathroom. It was hard to see when getting ready so we brought a lamp in and plugged it in. But I still would stay there again.

Great Santa Barbara cottage
This is traditional SB alley cottage that has been updated without losing its character. The living area can comfortably handle four adults and the kitchen has everything needed for "vacation" cooking. The outdoor area is especially nice - private and well tended - we loved watching the hummingbirds with our morning coffee and listening to the birds with our evening wine. The master suite is spacious and the downstairs bedroom comfortably sized (mattress rolls couples to the middle so snuggle up). The pictures are a fair representation of what you will find. The management team also responded quickly to a minor question/issue with the keyless door lock. Lovely place to have a relaxing stay in a lovely town.

We had a wonderful stay in the home. It had plenty of room for us (3 adults) and we enjoyed the beautiful weather in the lovely private backyard setting. We could walk most places in town and got in a lot of steps! We will definitely consider renting the home again on our next trip to Santa Barbara. Thank you!

The Downtown Cottage was perfect for us. It had every convenience, parking, cozy, quiet, and the downtown within easy walking distance. The shower and kitchen were also terrific. The10 am check out was a bit difficult for me. Eleven would be best. My flight left at 6:30PM. Makes for a long day but I would certainly book here again.

Great place to stay - walking distance to most of Santa Barbara!
This property was well cared for and had everything we need for our 6 night stay. The washer dryer was a godsend for the 4 of us. The back garden was quiet and tranquil as was the area in which the property sits. Thoroughly recommend this property for 2 couples or a family of 4. Only suggestion I have is that the mattresses need replacing,

Walk to State Street from the Curley Cottage
Wonderful 2 bedroom and 2 Bath location with an easy walk to State street. The Kitchen is well equipped with everything needed like your home kitchen. The check in process is simple. Access the home with a keypad, although check out is early at 10am. The home is located off an alley with a driveway to fit one care. The home experience could have been better if the WiFi connection was stronger. WiFi originated from the living room but signal strength dropped to 0.4 Mbps at the Master Bedroom and almost at similar strength from the 2nd Bedroom, so there was really zero connection outside the living/dining area. Overall a great cottage. I hope changes are made to the WiFi (easy upgrade). Would definitely stay here again!

Good value for the location; Quite; Homey
Walk is an easy 5-10 minutes to State Street the main hub. The location was very quite. Clean, well decorated, cute porch and backyard with nice landscaping. A positive for us, possible negative for others, is the very small living room. When the couch was folded out the room was too small to be usable. But it is off to the side of the kitchen so almost its own room. We treated it like a 3rd bedroom and our hangout time was spent at the kitchen table. Other realities that may not work for everyone is the bathrooms are tiny. The upstairs bath has a low ceiling. I am 5'3' and could easily touch it. I would not recommend for more than 4 people as the common areas are just too small.
