A Perfect Retreat for Families – Highly Recommended!
We had an incredible stay at this VRBO property, and I can't recommend it enough! The cottage was not only beautiful but also thoughtfully designed to make the most of both the indoor and outdoor spaces. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed with the layout – the placement of windows and doors provided excellent privacy while still allowing us to enjoy the gorgeous California weather. The floorplan was perfect for our family, creating an open and spacious feel without ever feeling cramped, even on the one rainy day we had, when we cozied up inside.The kids, ages 11 and 13, absolutely loved exploring the large property. They spent hours picking fresh oranges and lemons from the trees, feeding the birds, and watching the rabbits. It was such a peaceful, nature-filled experience for them – a perfect blend of fun and relaxation.While the location initially seemed a bit far from everything, it turned out to be fantastic. Most of the restaurants we dined at were only 5-10 minutes away, making it easy to explore the area without any hassle.This property would also be ideal for a longer stay. The comfortable, well-thought-out design, combined with the beautiful surroundings, made it feel like a true home away from home. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, family-friendly retreat.Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, this property is a gem. We couldn't have asked for a better expereince.

Could Not Have Been Better!
We had a wonderful time on this vacation and our stay here was wonderful!Tom & Eileen were fantastic hosts who answered what few questions we had very promptly. The check in/checkout process was easy and uneventful. All appliances were modern and in perfect working order and we loved the W/D set up. Great parking with wonderful privacy. The views of the ocean and surroundings were exquisite and I loved having the bird feeder right outside of the property. Would definitely book with them again!

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. Highly recommend & will consider returning.
