We stayed at this fantastic bungalow for 2 weeks this summer and had an amazing time. The place was exceptionally clean at check-in and Bryan even left some treats from the local store making us feel right at home! The kitchen was the best stocked of any rental I’ve stayed in which was great. The location is unbeatable if you’re looking for a peaceful stay in a nice neighborhood close to the ocean. Our child was thrilled there was a playground at the park just a block away and we loved our morning and evening walks along the ocean cliff path. The back deck also has views of the ocean (I missed this in the description) which was a wonderful surprise for us! The yard is beautiful and my child loved being able to pick fresh lemons from the tree. Bryan was an incredible host, was very easy to communicate with and even gave us some tips on fun local events happening while we were there. We are already thinking about how we can go back for even longer next summer! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 12 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon S.

This is a special place, with an amazing location. It is a beautiful property, especially the amazing yard and garden. We enjoyed relaxing and having meals outside, with plenty of privacy and space in the back yard. The neighborhood is peaceful and locals were all very friendly. We were instantly immersed in Santa Barbara the culture and environment. Bryan is an extremely gracious and helpful host, offering help and advice from before we booked the property until after we had left. Communication was responsive and thorough, and all the recommendations were spot-on. He went far out of his way to ensure we had a spectacular time. The house is spotless and very well appointed. There were plenty of amenities and we found it easy to prepare meals. Beds were comfy and all towels and linens were fresh and clean. As described, it is a very short walk to the park and ocean. We found it a great home base for our adventures. It felt very much like a home, rather than a sterile rental house. If we find ourselves in the area again, this would be my first pick for a place to stay. 5+ Stars! ##### David V.

Nov 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect one month stay! Did not want to leave this super comfy beach cottage with its sunny light-filled interior and fantastic outdoor space in an unbeatable location steps from Shoreline Park and endless beach walking at low-tide. House is compact, well laid out and squeaky clean: Open kitchen, dining, living area plus a primary bedroom and second bedroom separated by a third bedroom/office. Office with desk, chair, printer and fast wifi, great for working remotely. Bathroom is small but bright and modern with a marble glass-walled shower. High quality linens, excellent closet space and comfortable beds. What sets this rental apart is its lovely outdoor space: A corner lot lends itself to multiple sitting/dining areas (partial ocean view!!!) and a serene drought-tolerant California garden with lemon, lime and tangerine trees, all reachable from the kitchen, primary bedroom and third bedroom/office. Kitchen has everything you need and more (even a smoothie machine!). Buy groceries at Lazy Acres or downtown Santa Barbara Saturday AM or Tuesday PM farmer’s markets, cook dinner and watch the sunset from the deck. If cooking is not your thing then order delivery via Grubhub etc. or take a short drive to your choice of restaurants. Bryan is an excellent and responsive host, providing wine, treats and invaluable area recommendations throughout our stay. Highly recommend this rental. ##### Erika D.

Sep 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Late Summer Stay My wife and I plus our 16th-month-old twins thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bryan's beach cottage on the Mesa. Bryan has the cottage fully dialed in with an OLED TV, Sonos speakers, and beautiful views. The highlight of the property is definitely the deck off the kitchen with gorgeous views and entertaining space. We spent most evenings dining al fresco since the weather was absolutely perfect during our stay. The location can't be beaten, you can walk a mile toward the wharf along Shoreline Park or a mile in the other direction to great restaurants, shops, and La Mesa Park. The kids loved the new tot park which is literally across the street from the property. We're already planning another trip in the future so we can take the little ones surfing at Leadbetter Beach. Thanks, Bryan for sharing your slice of paradise. ##### mike g.

The location is ideal, close to the a lovely park, the ocean and downtown Santa Barbara (all walkable) - located on a lovely street in a pleasant neighborhood. Although it is called a bungalow, there was plenty of room for our family to "stretch out" in the various rooms and two outdoor deck/patio areas. The garden was great - with lemon and orange trees, banana trees (I know, not really a tree) and lovely landscaping everywhere. Perhaps most important, BRYAN IS A GREAT HOST. He has given great attention to detail of everything inside and outside of the house - which we really appreciated. The house was supplied with all the incidentals that we could need for a week (even left us some great coffee and fresh bread upon arrival). We will definitely look to stay again next year.

Jun 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Rental Bryan’s house is amazing! It’s beautiful and well maintained. The yard is a work of art, and much more enchanting than the photos show. The fact that it’s all draught resistant made it even more impressive. We enjoyed morning yoga on the beautiful deck with a view of the ocean, and wine and cheese on the same deck in the afternoon. The outdoor furniture was clean and comfortable. I really appreciated that the house was very well stocked down to a first aid kit. Coffee, spices, sugar, and oil; all provided but appropriately curated. Baby oil for tar removal was provided, as well as a beautiful washer and dryer with all the supplies. Paper products were provided as well as body wash, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, and plenty of towels. We ended each night with a movie on the large screen tv. Every detail has been considered. The location was perfect! Walking distance with a nice path to the harbor, down the steps from the park to the beach, and Shoreline park is beautiful for walking or sitting to view marine life. We saw a variety of dolphin pods sitting on the whale tail bench using the binoculars provided in the home. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly, easily accessible from a variety of directions. A quick drive to downtown Santa Barbara and my favorite ice cream at McConnell’s. Communication was clear and easy. Hope we can return many times in the future! ##### Anthony W.

The 3 bedroom 1 bath house was perfect for us. Ocean views from the kitchen, bedroom and deck. Lovely quiet neighborhood one block from shoreline park. Went walking, running there every day. 10 minute walk to shoreline beach; 15 minute walk to lead better beach. Weather was a little cooler than normal but great jeans and t shirt weather. The boys explored and threw rocks on the beach. Location was perfect. I was worried it would be too far from town but it was only a 5 minute drive to lower state street and sterns wharf. 10 minutes to upper end of state street or the mission. We loved the quiet beautiful neighborhood with the mountains and ocean nearby. Staying downtown would have been closer for lunch and dinner but too noisy and crowded at night for our family. We had relaxing mornings hanging out at the house and then headed to downtown or out on day trips - Ojai, wine country, Santa Barbara food tour, etc. Bryan’s bungalow was very clean, well stocked (towels, tissues, aluminum foil, pots, pans, condiments, wine openers, etc.). It was so organized and had lots of space to store our clothes and luggage. Beds were very comfortable. Our 10 year old enjoyed sleeping in the fold out chair in the study. Such a gem - both the city and the house! ##### Kelly L.

Charming and quiet short block in from Shoreline Drive. Easy access to all the best in Santa Barbara and well- appointed comfy house. Bryan is the friendliest hose. ##### Robert R.

We love to walk and watch sunsets and both are perfect from here. The house is very comfortable and set up great - loved the fresh peppers, lemon, limes, and tomatoes' in the beautiful gardens. ##### Marla M.

The proximity to shoreline park and to the beach made our vacation very memorable. The house is well appointed with plenty of light, ocean views and a variety of outdoor space to relax and bask in the sun. The owner of the home, Bryan, is a gracious house and is very responsive and friendly. We are already booking our future stays! ##### Rina G.

It is across from Shoreline Park, has views of the water and palm trees on a raised deck, and Bryan is an amazing host. If this place is available and two bedroom one bathroom works for your group - look no further! We will certainly return for a longer stay! Thank you Bryan! ##### Brad S.

My wife and I just spent a wonderful week in Santa Barbara at Bryan's amazing cottage. We could see the ocean from the deck! This is really the best neighborhood in Santa Barbara: quiet and private. We went for long walks at the beach, whale watching and just kicked back and relaxed. What more could you ask? Bryan is a fantastic host. He made sure that we had everything that we needed. I rate this the top rental that we have ever booked. I HIGHLY recommend Bryan's Ocean Palm Bungalow!! ##### Bernie R. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frank G.

We came to Santa Barbara to see Dr. Gunson for jaw surgery at Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital. This was the perfect place to convalesce. The house is a lovely bungalow. We were especially grateful for the large, well-equipped kitchen and outdoor grill. We enjoyed the beautiful backyard gardens and walks through the quiet neighborhoods surrounding the home. A wonderful bonus is the home's close proximity to the water. Bryan is a welcoming and very communicative host. ##### Frank G.
