Family Friendly Villa - Walk to Downtown and Beach

KimRating, 5 stars2 months ago
I would highly recommend !! My family and I had a wonderful stay. We loved the location as it was walking distance to most places we wanted to go. The rooftop deck was wonderful to sit and enjoy in the mornings for coffee and plan our day and evenings to unwind with a cocktail and relive the memories of that day. Tatiana is great, she was very quick to respond to an unexpected issue that arose when we arrived, and her husband came to check that all was okay. So I give them both an A+ for that. Lastly, the dumbwaiter is a big help when unloading and then repacking the car. Just remember to double check it before you leave! We added 2 hours to our drive time as my husband had left our final bag in the dumbwaiter and we had to turn around - lol/ugg !!

Hidden Views

JayRating, 5 stars1 month ago
David greeted us upon arrival and, after that, we had privacy in the two-story guest house...which is the size of many homes! The mattresses were so comfortable that my wife wants to know where to get one. The views are lovely, plenty of space for the 4 of us and 3 bathrooms! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return again...

Calm & Secluded Old-Hollywood Beachfront Home

ChristyRating, 5 stars3 months ago
The location is absolutely awesome, right on the edge of the sand, with amazing walks on the beach. It is a very peaceful place. The cottage is rustic and lovely, and if the weather was a little colder than we had hoped, it was still super beautiful. The clouds and the fog rolling in was really amazing to see. The kitchen is well stocked, and the home is comfortable. It is possible to walk to the harbor and several restaurants there including a truly fine sushi place. It is a short drive to Ventura and several other spaces along the coast that are beautiful. I would highly recommend. Tiffany was very responsive, and we appreciated the chance to stay in this cottage on the sea.

Great place to stay in Santa Barbara! Very close to the beach, walkable to the wharf. The place was squeaky clean and had everything you’d need. Definitely recommend this place.

Quality Group Time Amidst Nature

BartlettRating, 5 stars1 month ago
It's a very tastefully decorated traditional wooden house with an extremely well-stocked kitchen. The lot is very private, up on a hill, nestled between fruit farms, with a beautiful garden (flowers, fruit trees, lawn) and beautiful hill view. Extremely quiet at night. The outdoor hot tub was a nice added feature. The on-site host (Anat) was very responsive and friendly (she lives in a cottage next door). It's a perfect getaway for a family or group that just wants to hang out, cook, and bond.
