What a trip! Our Vrbo and the city of Santa Barbara exceeded our expectations! Charlie was great at making recommendations and made us feel welcomed. Very comfortable beds and over all living quarters. We will definitely be staying there again! We loved the instructions that were left for us and recommendations of what to see and places to eat. The Boathouse was our favorite! Thank you for a wonderful experience in Santa Barbara, Charlie!

We loved our stay! The property is comfortable and quiet, just as pictured. The owner is friendly and responsive to guests' needs. We would definitely return to this property.

Great stay. Thanks!!!

We enjoyed the property very much. Very clean and well- maintained. . Loved that we were so close to town and the beach.

Clean, private comfortable property close to all that SB has to offer. Charlie was a responsive and knowledgeable host that we enjoyed getting to know. One minor caveat, for those with mobility or balance issues, navigating the use of the shower/tub could be difficult with a big step up, confined area and no handrails. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a fantastic stay over thanksgiving week. The cottage is charming, clean, and well appointed- even better than the photos show. The garden is beautiful beautiful and the neighborhood is perfect for bike rides and walks with the family. Also close to beaches and downtown. We will definitely be back!

The house was wonderful and Charlie was a great host!

We had a great stay and the place was clean, the courtyard was really sweet - fairy lights would be a lovely addition on the deck as we just loved sitting out there :) The beds were very comfortable. Communication with the owner was really smooth, the location was easy as a former local but really hard for Uber drivers to find (we had Uber cancel on pick ups when they couldn't find us) so you need to be clear with Uber to go to the end of the street and up the private driveway at the end and then you will be fine as they kept going to the main road on the other side due to where the pin dropped. It would be great to have some half-and-half or little snacks or tea on arrival. You can't check in till 4pm and often, we have a few small things on arrival at the air VRBO's we rent that mean we can put our bags down after a long trip, have a cuppa and chill for a moment before having to get to a grocery store. Only a small thing but something that it a nice touch - so just be sure to have some groceries on you before you arrive if you don't want to have to leave immediately and find a store. Other than that, nice, easy stay. Thank you

Charlie is a wonderfully hospitable and communicative host. Everything from booking to leaving was easy and smooth. The home is immaculate and has everything you need, including a full kitchen. Great location, although you will probably need to either drive or get a ride if you're going near the pier, because it's a bit of a walk otherwise. We would definitely come back.

Two adult couples in for fun and frivolity In beautiful Santa Barbara. Either walk or uber anywhere for 8 bucks... Very comfortable, laid back, absolute fabulous host who knew of all the cool nooks and crannies in town for great dinners, drinks, even ice cream.. Made us feel so welcome, our new yearly place to go. Highly recommended.

Charlie was a great host and very responsive. The house is a short hop from downtown and super clean.

Location was great (short drive to State St., downtown, restaurants, etc.), property was very clean, check-in process was very easy and Charlie was very attentive before and during our stay. Would definitely stay here again. The only (very minor) issue was when ordering Ubers to the house. This issue was with the Uber/Lyft mapping software, which tells the driver to pick up / drop off on the main street as opposed to the residential street that the house is located (super simple fix and definitely shouldn't influence decision to stay here - just want to make people aware)

Charlie made us feel very welcomed when we arrived. What a beautiful, immaculate and peaceful home. We loved it!

This immaculate cottage is just as described with high end finishes and beautiful views. The location is perfect to access anywhere you want to go in Santa Barbara. My family of three went to the beach every day and LOVED the outdoor shower! Charlie is the perfect host.

Had the best time!

Charlie's home was the perfect place for us to celebrate our Anniversaries. His home is charming and very close to beach, restaurants and wineries. Charlie was very responsive with a request or information. Thanks for a lovely four days.

My family was in town for a wedding and had a great stay at Charles' place! Everything from the beach to the restaurants are a quick 10 min drive away. It was easy to get around and a lovely place to rest up between wedding events. Would definitely recommend a stay!

A small but beautifully appointed guest house in a convenient downtown location.

Definitely a Zen House Getaway. Very clean, well appointed, peaceful, and extremely convenient. Close to beach, State street shopping and restaurants. Owner, Charlie is just a delight and so helpful. We feel really fortunate to have found him and such a wonderful place to stay. We will be back. Thank you so much.

Charlie is a great host. The property is immaculate and up to date. Great location between downtown and west cliff area.

We'd stayed here for a 4-night trip with our 2 little boys. It's a nice central location for visiting Santa Barbara - not much in walking distance, but easy few minute drive to the beach, State st. and 101 on-ramp. The shower is a little tight for adults, but the bath tub was great for the kids. Would definitely stay again.

Immaculate, great location and responsive friendly host. Very comfortable accommodation with parking and convenient to everything.

Beautiful property and SO close to downtown and beach

As soon as we drove up the driveway and saw the cottage we knew it was going to be a great place to stay. Easy access into the house- no steps. The cottage is well laid out and filled with light from large windows. (room darkening shades in bedrooms-yay) . Two nice bedrooms. Bathroom with soaking tub is wonderful. Two sep sink areas. Kitchen has everything you need well organized and a lovely garden and private deck. Quiet location yet close to everything. The owner Charlie, is responsive and kind. He left us a bowl of delicious home grown plums which we devoured!

Relaxing spot with a beautiful patio.

Easy communication with host. We’ll thought our accommodation. The fountain in the back patio was truly zen. Felt very cozy and loved the location. Would definitely stay there again!

Charlie’s place was amazing and allowed my husband and I to have the perfect weekend with our one-year-old daughter. It was quiet and felt super private and calming, the beds were very comfy, the space was well-equipped and beautifully decorated, and the views of the city and mountains was incredible. Charlie was a wonderful host - he made us feel very welcome, and he was responsive and a great communicator. Thank you for a lovely stay!

This is a beautiful home that is clean, comfortable and has all of the amenities you would ever need. The property is fantastic and has great views of the surrounding area. Charlie is friendly and super helpful. Would love to stay again some time.

This house was very clean and beautiful! It is in a great location, and has great views of the hills. Charlie was super nice throughout the whole process, and I will definitely be looking to stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at Charlie’s cottage. It was very clean and comfortable. The location is very convenient, a short drive to downtown and the beaches. Charlie gave us very clear instructions and was very friendly.

This is a great place to stay! The place is very cute with quite a lot of nice outdoor space. The whole place was a perfect size for four people, and it is a quick and easy drive to State Street and other popular places in Santa Barbara. I would definitely stay here again!

We had a great weekend stay at Charlie’s place. The house is one of the nicest we’ve stayed in and the pictures really don’t do it justice. Charlie is excellent with communication and check-in instructions and property instructions were both very clear. The house is situated at the end of a private drive, so there is tons of privacy. My son was completely enamored of the beehives in the backyard (plenty of distance from the rental itself if you’d rather keep your space). I can’t think of how our stay could have been improved and we are looking forward to returning again for a longer stay in the future.
