We had the best visit to Santa Barbara staying in this beautiful spot. The host was very responsive and helpful. The home is super clean, well decorated, comfy beds and couch. The outdoor spot is amazing - hot tub, outdoor dining, fire pit, tree frogs singing at night, it was perfect! Proximity to all the dining and beaches and wineries was great. Safe neighborhood for walking - lots of gorgeous plants everywhere. Fenced yard a huge plus for our little dog.

Fabulous respite in a quiet area of Santa Barbara that is 15 minutes from everything. I did not want to leave. I was attending a “destination” wedding with too many parties in too few days. I was so happy I elected to stay in this oasis rather than a hotel. The owner was possibly the most gracious person I have ever encountered. I hesitate leaving this review because this is a special place. I only want the most exquisite people to share the experience. It is a property to be respected and honored.

Santa Barbara sanctuary

We enjoyed this beautiful home up near Goleta. The location was off the beaten track, so time in the beautiful backyard was very relaxing & pet friendly, so our dog enjoyed the space as well. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking & was easy to work in. Beds were comfortable & the spa was very private & relaxing!

A Peaceful and Convenient Getaway Close to Nature and Attractions

My wife and I recently stayed at this serene garden home in Santa Barbara over the Labor Day weekend, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The location is perfect, offering both tranquility and proximity to the beach and local attractions. Being only 3 minutes from the beach and surrounded by a lush garden made for an ideal escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. The property itself is spacious, with a beautifully maintained private yard that provides a sense of seclusion. We especially loved the hot tub after a day of exploring nearby Goleta Beach and the Mission Santa Barbara. The yard is also fenced, which made it feel even more private, and as dog owners, we appreciated the pet-friendly nature of the property. Inside, the home is well-equipped with everything you might need. The kitchen had all the amenities, making it easy for us to cook meals when we wanted. The free Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, which is always a plus, especially when you’re looking to stay connected. The house has two comfortable bedrooms, perfect for small groups or families. Both bathrooms were clean and stocked with essentials, making our stay that much more comfortable. We also appreciated how close the home was to local restaurants and conveniences. If you’re looking for a peaceful and well-located property in Santa Barbara with easy access to nature, beaches, and local attractions, this is the place to stay. We’ll definitely be back for another relaxing weekend soon!
