Good for extended family
My wife and I, our 2 daughters with their husbands, and our 4 grandchildren (ages 1-4) had a comfortable stay here. The pool was a bit chilly but not surprising for late October. The adults and kids enjoyed the hot tub and the kitchen was well-equipped for the few meals we prepared at the house. All of the places we visited were within a 20 minute drive from the house. If we ever return to Santa Barbara, we would happily stay here again.

Easy to find and in a beautiful neighborhood. We enjoyed having the bedrooms on one side of the house so adults could visit after kids went to bed without worrying about noise. We really enjoyed having the pool and hot tub! The owner was always quick to respond with any questions and easy to talk to. We highly recommend this house and hope we can stay again if we return to the area!

The home is peaceful and serene, the backyard with the swimming pool and hot tub is an oasis of tranquility and Zen peace. We highly recommend the location, the owner was exceptional in his communication. The home is simple to locate and well worth the reasonable price. 4 bedrooms and two baths, a huge living room and the kitchen is wonderful. the perfect house for a large group. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Our Stay for the Wedding
It was a very nice house. The kitchen was GREAT, very well stocked with anything you would need. The pool was warm and very inviting. Our family really enjoyed the pool and sitting outdoors. Our only issue was that there is no AC so the bedrooms were very warm. It was appreciated that the fans were there but it didn't really help to cool down the rooms. I did notice that the master bathroom counter top had black grout in some areas where it obviously hadn't been cleaned and the throw rugs on the floor in the entry way and in the bathrooms had not been laundered in awhile. Also the pillows were not in plastic casings under the pillow case so that's a little gross and unsanitary. But it is a very nice and comfortable house. We appreciated that the neighborhood was quiet.

Great location in a lovely neighborhood!
We really enjoyed our stay here! This was an easy location for our large group of families to head into Santa Barbara, ride some local trails and go to the beach. The pool was a big bonus with the kids and there was plenty of room to spread out and cook meals. We went for walks through the neighborhood each morning and it was lovely. Be aware that the house does back up to a main road so it can get a little more loud during parts of the day if that matters to you.

We enjoyed our stay here and it provided more than enough space for our group (4 adults, 5 kids). Location is great, close by shopping and local entertainment.
The bathrooms and bedrooms were well appointed, and the bedding was comfortable. The pool and the hot tub were definitely a major plus for our group!
The kitchen was stocked with plenty of silverware and dishes, enough pots and pans to prepare food and the refrigerator and built in icemaker were great on a hot day. We could have used some simple additions like a mixing bowl.
