Felt so lucky to be there!
My litmus test for whether or not I truly like a rental house is whether I feel lucky to get to stay there. And I certainly did in this case! The master bathroom was massive. The view was stunning. The house was clean and well appointed, and there were so many pleasant places to hang out, both outside and indoors. We had a ball there.A few notes of caution: (1) The house was hard to locate, and if a neighbor hadn't been standing in his yard, pointing us in the right direction, we might still be looking for the place. (2) The thermostat was strangely hard to find, but we prevailed. (3) We never located a garage door remote control. Does one exist? (4) I was looking forward to being on the rooftop deck, but the death stairs made that forbidding, and I certainly don't see how anyone could make that climb with a tray of food in hand. Oh, well. The deck sufficed for an outdoor experience.

Great place and location!
This house is great! We stayed for a weekend for four of us. The deck is really spa like and the house has a great open floor plan. It's nice to be able to use the garage and charge the Tesla. The house is a couple blocks from the park with the best view of SB. You're just a few minutes from State St. We will be back.
Thanks again!

My girlfriends and I stayed here for a long weekend to rest and catch-up. The home is impeccably designed and well-stocked with everything we needed. The outdoor space is next-level. Loved the fire pit and string lights at night. Enjoyed the jacuzzi. Strolled to the beach. Close to shops and restaurants. Everything we hoped for and more!

Amazing property in a fabulous location!
The house was beautiful inside and out! The kitchen was well equipped and served very nicely for making a three tiered cake for my daughter’s wedding. Stress of wedding prep was easily countered with a dip in hot tub and run along the beach. The host was a joy to communicate with! We highly recommend this property!.

Beautiful Santa Barbara Home
This home is beautiful. The backyard is so relaxing and perfect for spending time together! Communication with the owner is prompt and easy. The interior space is exactly as pictured and has everything we needed. Beds are very comfortable and bathrooms are well stocked. The bikes, beach towels, chairs and umbrellas are very handy! State St shops and restaurants (we loved Chads for breakfast and Santa Barbara Fish House for dinner) are a 5 minute drive or a 15 minute bike ride away. The bike ride back is uphill but the path is perfect for riding or walking. A day trip to Solvang and the wineries was fabulous. We also enjoyed The Boathouse restaurant and Hendry’s dog beach a few minutes drive away. Overall, this home is truly wonderful!

There were even bikes and a wagon/cart and a hot tub. It’s one block to the ocean! It’s 10 minutes to the zoo. It’s less than 10 minutes to downtown. Great location!

The Perfect Home
This home was the perfect setting for our family. It truly exceeded our expectations and was even better than the pictures.
The outdoor space doubled the living space of the home and was perfect for gathering.
Two fire pits, a jacuzzi, lounge chairs and a cabana - there was something for everyone.
Inside there were many thoughtful touches from a well-equipped kitchen to stocking of coffee, spices and other basic cooking ingredients.
Bathrooms included toiletries down to Q-tips and extra toothbrushes.
There were real, thriving plants throughout the house and the backyard tropical plantings were gorgeous.
The location is great for heading to the beach, hiking in the foothills, biking to the du zone and State Street.
Thank you for hosting us. We get up to Santa Barbara to visit our son and would love to stay with you again.

Wonderful Santa Barbara getaway!
Great location! Great house! This was a wonderful getaway for four adult family members. The house seems newly updated and tastefully decorated. The outdoor space is really lovely with two firepit areas, a hot tub, an outdoor BBQ and bar, and lots of lounging. The outdoor area is also landscaped beautifully, and has nice lighting. We used the hot tub, and it was very clean.
This home has a master bath with a large ensuite bathroom and double sink. The host provides toiletry amenities in the bathrooms, and lots of towels. There are two other bedrooms, that share a bathroom.
The kitchen includes coffee maker, and is fully stocked with spices, some basic pantry staples, and plenty of dishes, glasses, and cooking ware.
The home is in a great location in a nice neighborhood, less than a five minute walk to a coast side park.
The house is also equipped with bicycles to use, although we never got around to trying those out.
The host was always prompt in replying to any questions. Everything was perfect when we arrived, and we did not need to contact him at all during our stay.
We would definitely stay here again, and would recommend it to friends visiting Santa Barbara. You cannot go wrong with this property!

Relaxing Santa Barbara Retreat
This home was perfect for our family group of 8 spending a few days in Santa Barbara. The home is well appointed with plenty of bowls, cups, cooking utensils, etc. in the kitchen. The beds were comfortable and the location is great -- a 5 minute walk to the shore and convenient to downtown. The outdoor space is the highlight, and much thought was put in to making several comfortable seating areas. Lush plantings made us feel like we were in a tropical oasis. Overall a great stay.

Beautiful home in Santa Barbara
Our stay was great, home was beautiful modern and clean. Only thing I would mention was the lack of hospitality received from owner's communication via text. Per house rules we were asked to not be on the patio after 10pm which is completely understandable. We never received a welcome text which is also ok but when we went on the patio and turned on our music for only 1 hr between 4/5pm before we were leaving the house for our event, I received a message saying that we were too loud for neighbors (which was never mentioned to us no music during the day either). We were out of the house at 5:30pm for an event downtown and didn't return until later in the evening completely quiet and never went on the patio again. I thought that text was a bit overbearing and uncalled for. The following day during check-out (we were leaving on Sunday) and check-out time was 11am. At 10:50am we already had cleaners outside our door waiting for us to get out I didn't think that was appropriate to be rushed out of the home either. We 1. were paying for our stay and should be respected as guests 2. 100% obeyed house rules and were very respectful of property, left it extremely clean and almost untouched as we didn't even use the 3rd bedroom.
