Maya’s place was perfect for us to both hang out and see Santa Barbara. The neighborhood is lovely, friendly and great for walking. We liked that it was quiet and away from the bustle of downtown. Thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit with smores, the hot tub and playing games. If you love books, you’ll enjoy her extensive collection of children’s books. The home is well stocked with everything you might need during your stay. We hope to make this an annual retreat! ##### Patricia E. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marian W.

Outside: oak trees that were hundreds of years old casting shade in the lush garden. We loved sitting on the front porch with a glass of wine and conversation. Inside there were many historic artifacts and books giving unique charm. Fully stocked with coffee, eggs, butter, milk, waffle mix, etc. we felt so spoiled. Also love the jacuzzi and piano. ##### Marian W. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather W.

There was a piano, ukulele, gong, board games, dominoes, cards and books. The furniture and beds were comfortable. The home was welcoming and very inviting. Maya was very responsive to my communications, and I even had the pleasure of meeting her and hearing about the history of the home. I would absolutely stay again and will tell all my friends and family about it if they are heading to Santa Barbara. ##### Heather W. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jim N. Aug 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Dream location to relax and refresh This rustic home is an idyllic location to decompress. While somewhat secluded, and just enough off the beaten path to allow you to unwind in peace, it’s also conveniently close to anything you would want or need. Walking distance to the SB Natural History museum and Mission. A short drive to downtown, the beach, zoo, or everything else the area has to offer. Sit in the enclosed front yard in the morning and forget that you’re in a big city, or in the dining room to watch the hummingbirds. Just cannot say enough about the serenity of this place. The home had enough space to allow our party of six adults to spread out and have our own space, yet come together when we wanted. The A/C kept the temp nice the entire time. The outdoor furniture and dining area are great, as is the new deck out front. The hot tub is amazing. The kitchen has all the modern amenities for the most discerning cook, and more ways to make coffee than I could count. And make sure you browse the library. There’s interesting reading for all ages on those shelves. Maya is a generous and engaging host who wants nothing more than for you to enjoy your stay. We called it home for a week, and only wished it had been longer. Would absolutely recommend, and hope to stay again. ##### Jim N. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cici G. Jul 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The most well appointed home Our family stayed here for our Santa Barbara Vacation. 7 adults, 2 toddlers and 2 small dogs. It has a very different layout with one room having no easy access to a bathroom unless you enter another bedroom or go outside. The air conditioner worked well. The house has a very bohemian vibe. There are lots of outdoor places for little ones to explore. I have never stayed in a home that had this many amenities! There were cast iron skillets, a keurig, coffee machine, electric teapot, coffee grinder and even milk frother. We went to the beach and found 7 beach chairs and 2 umbrellas to bring! The house is also stocked with a dozen eggs, milk, waffle mix for the waffle maker, various coffee beans and teas, syrup and spices. There is also everything you need to roast S'mores outside (skewers, marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate bars). I communicated with Maya a few times and her responses were always very quick. The house has tons of books (including shelves and shelves of kids books). There are also some board games, toys, a piano and a guitar. Amazing, right? We had a wonderful vacation in Santa Barbara, both inside and outside of the house. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bcc07b42-c4c3-4a3b-a76e-77a140d20041-1753822025126.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dd2fddff-2df7-4ef7-9cd6-f4dcc804961c-1753822025549.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2fb111ed-30a1-4c91-807f-f447b443cf25-1753822025242.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d3689974-fe97-41dc-9d44-cdede81883a1-1753822025353.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Cici G.

Sep 5, 2018 #### Wonderful retreat My family and I loved our stay at Maya's home. It was beautiful and peaceful! Maya welcomed us and made us all feel at home. We are definitely looking forward to returning and staying at this home again. ##### Jessica L. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy B. Jun 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Wow, super impressed. Maya had THE BEST stocked kitchen we have ever seen. Smores, spices, platters, really everything we needed along with coffee, every kind of coffee maker and a frother(That I loved) The hot tub was fantastic, nice and hot. The front yard fire pit was a hit for later in the evening past 10:00pm. The house was really spectacular, the rooms and decor were right up our alley. I really wish we had more time there and hope to come back someday. We had our daughters graduation from UCSB so the location and size was perfect for 3 couples or 8 people, plenty of room.Thank you for an unforgettable stay.The Bakers, Marin County, Ca ![Us sadly leaving the property, under the big oak tree.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/788ef93d-52f9-4b7b-bb42-33d0e0c9305b-1750272357333.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![College friends enjoying the fire pit](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ab8f1238-bf50-4570-8a9a-9f35e8228c31-1750272458789.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kathy B.

Spent the weekend at Maya’s property with my family and 2 year old daughter. The house was the perfect size and had a fun yard for my daughter to explore. Lots of extras that were great to have in the house - coffee, s’more stuff, staples in the fridge etc. made our stay easy and enjoyable. Neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. Great for a relaxing weekend! Bonus - Maya had many books in the house, including a large selection of children’s books. My daughter loved it! Thanks for the great stay! ##### Lindsey T.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Maya's home. It is equipped with everything you need (and more!) to have a great time away from home. Maya joined us for breakfast on one of our days there and we had a nice morning learning about the home and its history. The only thing about the house is that you can hear everything through the walls, so it is more suitable for families rather than couples. :) ##### Alma N.

Oct 31, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Very comfortable house The house and property is very comfortable and enjoyable. Everything is properly stocked. The only downfall was we wanted to stay an extra night as we had family come in a day early to celebrate our son’s wedding, and they wanted almost double the price for the extra night! We ended up putting them in a hotel room because it was way cheaper. Not worth 1250 a night for a Thursday night. It just made it very inconvenient and felt like I was being price gouged. ##### Kim R. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren O.

Location was great, yard was large, plenty of room for the kids to roam. The house was so thoughtfully stocked and the art and decor is so lovely. Well kept hot tub was a bonus, will definitely be back! ##### Lauren O. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Craig T.

This home is a step back in time to a Santa Barbara that existed decades ago. It’s beautiful location, live oak trees, books, eclectic furnishings and informality were perfect for us. Very relaxing, peaceful. A great walking or biking locale too. Our host Maia was very welcoming, leaving us to enjoy it as if it were our own home. Everything you might need is there, well organized - we didn’t lack for a single thing. Looking forward to staying there again 👍👍 ##### Craig T.
