Wonderful stay

Beautiful, comfortable place. Great amenities, great view. Tom and Eileen were very responsive if we had a question or needed anything, and were very generous about sharing the pool, fruit trees, and other non-private areas on the property.

Lovely Cottage, Lovely Views

We loved staying in this beautiful cottage! We are a family of four with 11 and 14 year old children and we were there for a week. The expansive views make the cottage feel bigger than it is. Although we didn’t do much cooking, we prepared simple meals and we had everything we needed. For those looking for info about the kitchen, it was well appointed and lovely. We also enjoyed the bird feeder that’s in the perfect place to provide a show while you’re having breakfast. The owners made us feel very welcome and were responsive when we had questions, and we had plenty of privacy on their shared property. The home is about 5-15 minutes from most major attractions and it felt like a retreat returning there after a day of activities. We hope to stay there again!

Could Not Have Been Better!

We had a wonderful time on this vacation and our stay here was wonderful!Tom & Eileen were fantastic hosts who answered what few questions we had very promptly. The check in/checkout process was easy and uneventful. All appliances were modern and in perfect working order and we loved the W/D set up. Great parking with wonderful privacy. The views of the ocean and surroundings were exquisite and I loved having the bird feeder right outside of the property. Would definitely book with them again!

A Perfect Retreat for Families – Highly Recommended!

We had an incredible stay at this VRBO property, and I can't recommend it enough! The cottage was not only beautiful but also thoughtfully designed to make the most of both the indoor and outdoor spaces. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed with the layout – the placement of windows and doors provided excellent privacy while still allowing us to enjoy the gorgeous California weather. The floorplan was perfect for our family, creating an open and spacious feel without ever feeling cramped, even on the one rainy day we had, when we cozied up inside.The kids, ages 11 and 13, absolutely loved exploring the large property. They spent hours picking fresh oranges and lemons from the trees, feeding the birds, and watching the rabbits. It was such a peaceful, nature-filled experience for them – a perfect blend of fun and relaxation.While the location initially seemed a bit far from everything, it turned out to be fantastic. Most of the restaurants we dined at were only 5-10 minutes away, making it easy to explore the area without any hassle.This property would also be ideal for a longer stay. The comfortable, well-thought-out design, combined with the beautiful surroundings, made it feel like a true home away from home. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, family-friendly retreat.Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, this property is a gem. We couldn't have asked for a better expereince.

Wonderful Santa Barbara Vacation!

What a lovely cottage! My family enjoyed our stay in this peaceful Santa Barbara guest cottage so much. Close proximity to all that SB has to offer and the bonus of a pool and jacuzzi for when you want to be lazy and stay in. The owners were great communicators and the accommodations were lovely. Would stay again in the future!

Lovely house with a view

We spent 4 nights in the very comfortable cottage. Our hosts were extremely helpful and communicative. The house was well-supplied, clean and quiet. Also, the views were amazing, both distant to the ocean and nearby to the birds at the feeder. We would love to stay here again.

Perfectly appointed

We had everything we could ask for in a place to stay. So much thought and attention to detail went into designing and decorating this lovely cottage. It was so easy to take care of while providing us with all the room and amenities to dine in, enjoy the beautiful sunshine on the patio, and even to watch satellites launch into space. We highly recommend this property without any hesitancy.
