My wife and I have a small and separate cottage at the rear of the property, that we stay in while you are our guests in the main house. We occupy the carport which is attached to our unit, and far back patio as well. Access to the detached laundry is provided. We use the driveway to access our unit and carport. Street parking in front of the house is readily available.

Beautiful home, comfortable beds, quiet and beautiful neighborhood with only a short walk to Trader Joe's, etc. The owner and his wife were excellent hosts. Met us and gave us a tour and provided answers to any questions we had.
We would definitely stay there again.
We were in town for a wedding and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming house in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to all that Santa Barbara offers.
House has everything you need. The linens on the beds were so amazing. Kitchen had all appliances and cookware you would desire. Location is great. Close to restaurants and grocery.
Good location for all the wedding festivities...Lots of room to spread out at the property...Great hosts...We enjoyed to beautiful neighborhood as well...
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. Thanks Rod and Sue
The house is beautiful in a lovely neighborhood. Everything you need is provided, high quality beds, linens and towels. Beautiful craftsmanship and decorative throughout also
We stayed here with my parents and daughter for a few days during our sons wedding weekend. The place was clean, spacious and a great location. Rodney was a wonderful host.
We absolutely loved this property and home. The neighborhood was quiet. Close to everything we needed and shopping. The owners offered a very welcoming atmosphere. Owners were very communicative with any questions we had, we will definitely come back again.
We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful home with it's well equipped kitchen, comfortable hang out areas and cozy bedrooms. We were honored to feel like a family member with the warm greeting we received at check in and the feeling of home that this residence inspires.
We had the best time here! Great neighborhood which was close to many things (Starbucks, CVS, Trader Joes etc.), house was clean and has all the amenities listed. Our host Rodney was kind and welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Perfect place to stay for our best friend's wedding weekend. It felt so cozy and right at home. Highly recommend!
The house is lovely, well kept, very clean and quite homey... All the amenities are there and and it has a beautiful neighborhood in which to stroll around. Rodney met us when we checked and was very nice. The home feels very private and our stay was quite restful (and a much needed serene space to come home to during a wedding weekend!). Highly recommended by our family!
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.
This was a perfect place to stay for my daughter’s UCSB graduation. Beautiful house and neighborhood. Very clean and it had all the amenities you would want. Rodney even supplied the coffee! Thank you! We love the SB area so even though our daughter has graduated, we definitely will be back!
This is one of the nicest VRBO’s we’ve experienced. The home itself is spacious and remodeled. It is also spotless and in an established, safe neighborhood. There is plenty of on street parking. Communication with the owner was easy and he was always responsive. A great home base for exploring Santa Barbara. Highly recommended.
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.
Rodney was simply amazing! Very kind and informative. Neighborhood is fantastic for an evening walk if so inclined and the property was immaculate. Very quiet neighborhood but so close to everything. It really was a great stay and if we needed to stay in Santa Barbara again we would definitely rent this home. You won’t be disappointed.
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!
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.
