The perfect stay!

I’ve stayed at quite a few places and Sara & Ken really put some thought into it. This was one of the best places I’ve stayed at. Fluffy towels, not a spec of dust or dirt, it was spotless. Snacks waiting for me, upon arrival. They really thought of everything. Location is REALLY good. The bed is super comfortable too. Thank you Sara & Ken!!

GOAT - not just Santa Barbara, but anywhere!

100% truth, this is the best rental property we have ever experienced. That’s across all the rental apps, locations, and countries. The property had everything we needed, including an awesome outdoor space we utilized in the mornings and evenings. Great access to places to walk: Mesa Lane Beach (yes many steps down AND go at low tide to walk the beach) and Douglas Family Preserve with great views over the Pacific and you can walk down to the restaurant Boathouse at Hendry's Beach – we did for breakfast. There’s an easy walk along sidewalks to breakfast and dinner spots, and a great tap room. A grocery store is just a three minute drive. And this location allows easy access to all the roads leading to where you want to go. And Sarah was awesome, answering our many questions in planning for our visit.

Amazing studio

Sara was great and communicating, immediately sending us the door code, address and specifics to the studio. It was super clean, dog friendly and stocked with anything you could possibly need; including fresh towels, clean sheets, a dog bed and even a welcome basket with goodies! Right by the beach and downtown SB. This place and the host were amazing!

Fantastic studio

We were delighted with all aspects of our stay. So very peaceful and welcoming. It far exceeded our expectations with everything you could ask for in such an exceptionally organized and beautiful studio. The outside area was so peaceful and relaxing…we loved it. This was by far our favorite rental ever. Thank you so much Sarah.

Absolutely Fabulous!

My husband and I spent a week in this adorable studio and absolutely loved it! The extremely gracious hosts went above and beyond to create a great guest experience. They provided a lot of little "extras" like phone/computer chargers, bluetooth speaker, basket of snacks, robes and heated towel rack that really elevated our stay. The bed was super comfy and the kitchen was well stocked allowing us to cook several meals with ease. The studio was spotless and we loved relaxing by the outdoor fire pit. The location was also great. Our dog loved visiting the nearby dog friendly Douglas Family Preserve and beach and it is within walking distance to several restaurants and grocery stores. We particularly enjoyed Lighthouse Coffee, Blenders in the the Grass and Lazy Acres Natural Market grocery store. I highly recommend this studio!

Close to Natural Beauty

This is a very clean studio in Santa Barbara just blocks from the dog-friendly Douglas Family Preserve park. The park is such an asset, with amazing panoramic views of the ocean including the Channel Islands and the coast. The studio is attached to a house. I was confused at first about how to enter and where to park. I probably did not pay enough attention to any instructions before my trip. I meant to come with my dog and husband but due to my dog's illness it was just me. I did not use the room as much as I would have otherwise but it was fine for heating up lunches and hanging out between outings in Santa Barbara. The kitchen is small but well stocked. It was raining during my trip so I did not enjoy the patio.
