What a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage. Tom and Eileen were such wonderful hosts, fast to respond to any questions prior to and after booking. The cottage is beautifully decorated, super clean, very well appointed with wonderful linens and towels. A beautiful neighborhood. The outside patio was my favorite place to sit and I hated to leave. We will absolutely rent this cottage again.

This is one of the most superior properties we have stayed at. As good as the photos look, the actual listing is better. There is no drive-by traffic, the listing is very quiet and even though this is a cottage associated with a main house, you enjoy your privacy. Yet it is 10 minutes from the funk zone (restaurant s and stores) and the ocean. . There is a salt-water pool and a hot tub with a cabana. Both are clean and of high quality. The cottage is spacious with top end appliances. There is a lanai with a nice grill and fire pit, and an additional glass enclosed room so you can enjoy the views regardless of the temperature. The hosts are so helpful and really extended themselves to make sure we had a memorable stay. We would love to stay here again when we return to Santa Barbara.

A spotless and beautiful cottage with gorgeous views. Everything you could ever ask for including two bedrooms with comfortable beds, two full bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, lovely family room with fireplace, and an indoor/outdoor dining room and that's just the inside! Outdoor space features a tranquil patio with a fire pit and privacy. Just a few steps away enjoy a heated saltwater pool and hot tub. The most attentive hosts, Tom and Eileen will be there for your every need. This is such a treasure!

Comfortable, except for some minor maintenance issues. Bedroom #2 has only a small screened window and was not ensuite at the time of our visit. During our stay we emailed the owner with a question and it was 72 hours before they got back to us. Workers were in the pool area daily during our stay.

A beautiful retreat!

The place is wonderful! Two of us best friends had a get away for Easter week and it was so relaxing. Tom and Eileen left a plate of fresh-baked goodies and a chilled bottle of wine for us, then a few days later a cute carton of fresh-laid eggs. We felt so pampered! The weather was constantly shifting, but we found the property allowed for everything. We really liked the bird-feeder, and sweeping views. Pool and spa were lovely. So easy, and the hosts seemed very amenable. Will visit again!

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!

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.

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!
