Rodney and Cindy's house was perfect for our family. There was plenty of space and it felt like home away from home. The kitchen was fully equipped with all cooking utensils, which was important to us as we were travelling with our special needs son.The house was clean and inviting, and the hosts were available if we needed anything.

Fabulous Family Gathering

We travel from Wisconsin to Santa Barbara during the winter, in retirement. We come to Santa Barbara to connect with a daughter and her husband who live in LA. For us Santa Barbara is about family, beautiful winter weather, healthy food, and exercise. Two weeks in this lovely family home, gathering with some of our family members, sent us home refreshed and happy. We enjoyed cooking and eating together. Two daughters worked remotely while we were together. This was the best house for our family in 16 winter visits to Santa Barbara. It nicely accommodated six adults so that we could enjoy each other and still have private space to work, rest, cook, eat together, etc. We loved this house.

A perfect stay at this VRBO. It is truly a gem! When you arrive you will immediately notice the beautiful architecture of the house and welcoming front yard. If you are lucky, Rodney will be there to greet you, he is an amazing host. Our family of three had plenty of space to relax and get ready for a wedding in Santa Barbara. The home is so well cared for and the neighborhood is quiet and beautiful…take a walk if you can! This is the perfect location to explore Santa Barbara, you won’t be disappointed!

Home away from home!

We could not have asked for a more comfortable, clean, and charming place to stay for our son's graduation weekend! Rodney (and his adorable little dog) met us upon arrival and showed us around the house, giving us some history of the neighborhood and making us feel very welcome. The house had everything we needed (and more) for our family of 5 adults to feel at home- well stocked kitchen, pillows and blankets for lounging on the couches, books galore, and, most importantly, a peaceful atmosphere. Everything we needed outside of the house (stores, etc) were close and easy to get to, and the neighborhood is just beautiful! Our only regret is that since our son is graduating we won't be needing to stay here again ;) Thank you, Rodney & Cindy, for sharing your lovely home with us and making our special weekend even more enjoyable :)

Beautiful home, incredible location with the loveliest host!

My friends and I traveled to Santa Barbara for a weekend of fun and catching up. We explored the city all day and part of the night but were so excited to return to this home, get comfy, and catch up. I can't say enough to fully express how much we all enjoyed our stay. We all felt so safe and made ourselves at home right away. The home is clean, in a very nice neighborhood, and is well-loved. There were no generic decorations here, every room is so cute! This home is well-loved and walking in feels like a warm hug! Rodney is the best host! We spoke after I booked and he was there to offer a quick tour of the house on check-in day. The welcome binder includes thoughtful reviews of local restaurants and has everything you need to know for an easy stay. My friends and I were all sad to leave and wished that we had booked a longer stay. Needless to say, we all look forward to our next visit to Santa Barbara and another (longer) stay at Rodney's home!

Very nice host

It was very nice to have the host Rodney greet us when we arrived to show us around the house. The house was really charming. Unfortunately, since we had wedding events to attend throughout the day, we didn't get much of an opportunity to enjoy the house as much as we would have liked. The beds were really comfortable, and that was the most important thing for us.

We were visiting to attend a family wedding. The house is very comfortable with everything you’ll need. Close to stores, restaurants, beach, downtown. The street is quiet and tree lined. Parking couldn’t be easier. Rodney was always available if we had a question or needed something. We will definitely return on our next trip.
