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.

I’m sad that we only stayed for two nights because this space really felt like a home away from home! We were in town to visit family and attend a wedding and we were very comfortable. We appreciated the double sinks in the main bathroom, that was so helpful! Rodney and Cindy were amazing hosts!

Beautiful, charming home and neighborhood. Close to State Street. Plenty of room to spread out. It is a private home and not suitable for small children if they are climbers and curious! Lots of nice "things" out.

Can't say enough about this property and the Hosts. Beautiful neighborhood, Landscape and Home. Everything you could need and more you will find in this home. Lots of room to visit in comfort with your family/friends. Large bedrooms and comfy beds. Yes they have the soft bath towels too! Don't let the fact that the hosts is in the back ADU home scare you. They are not noisy and will talk to you if you so desire and please talk to them because they are so sweet and knowledgeable.

A slice of paradise

What a home. It’s so warm. So clean. So spacious for our family of four with two adult daughters. We were in for a family wedding in Santa Barbara and the home is in a historic and beautiful neighborhood just a ten minute drive from downtown but walkable to restaurants, grocery, coffee shops nearby. We also liked being residential and not among all the tourists. In the home is everything you could need and we enjoyed the outdoor patio space. Rodney was super communicative and gracious. He met us at the house and gave us a great overview. He responds promptly to any questions though we really didn’t have any! There is a guest book with all the info one could possibly need. Honestly, it’s one of my favorite rentals ever, and I am a tough customer .

Quiet quaint quality home

This 1930-40s home is in a lovely, walkable neighborhood of unique homes near shops and restaurants. So so quiet it’s hard to believe. The cottage-like home has been lovingly restored by longtime owners, with updated bathrooms and kitchen. Comfy King bed in the master, wonderful living room with large screen TV, cozy and bright sitting room connected to kitchen. We would stay here again! Host is SUPER friendly and responsive to any issue, holiday or no holiday!!!

Our family of 6 was in Santa Barbara for a family wedding. This was a perfect house and location for us. House is well maintained and Rodney was a very gracious host and we enjoyed spending some time talking and learning about the area. If we ever get back to the area would definitely stay there again!

Fabulous Family Gathering

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.
