We very much enjoyed our stay. Brenda is very hospitable and communicative, and the house is comfortable and very cute. The beds and living room furniture were comfortable, and the back yard is large, adorable, and great for hanging out. The house is easy to find, and parking in the driveway is hassle-free. Quiet neighborhood, and comfortable accommodations. Highly recommend!

We had the opportunity to stay at Casa del Sol for a family vacation in the summer of '24. This location was great! Very close to downtown Santa Barbara and the pier, but also central to other attractions/cities in the surrounding area. Easy access to/from the 101. The home is well sized and fit me, my wife, and my 3 teen to adult children with room to spare. There is a fire pit in the backyard that we gathered around and made s'mores. The kids also really liked the hanging chair in the living room.
A couple things to know, there are lots of big windows which is nice to enjoy the views, but it lets in a lot of light in the morning. The host thoughtfully left eye masks in the bedrooms to help ensure a restful sleep. Also, because of the vaulted ceilings in the living room, the a/c had a hard time cooling down that area of the house, but there is a ceiling fan that helps with air circulation - we found the right settings between the fan and the a/c to keep that room cool without making the rest of the rooms freezing. Make sure to play around with that.
We had an opportunity to meet the host, Brenda. She was very sweet, gave us suggestions on things to do, and even made a point to bring us a local publication so we could see what all was going on in town.
All in all, we had a blast on our trip! Being in a comfortable space made the trip that much more enjoyable. Definitely would recommend for other travelers.

The house is a beautiful mid century home in a nice neighborhood. The beds and couches were comfortable, and the backyard was nice for hanging out. Brenda made sure that everything was working and that we had everything that we needed. The house manual was thorough and had a lot of good recommendations.

The house is beautiful with a great backyard to lounge in, centrally located and close to just about everything.
Brenda was a fantastic host, she provided us with some great recommendations (especially Demetria), and gave us simple check in / out instructions. Would love to stay here again!

We were blown away by the location and privacy of this property! There is plenty of outdoor space and beautiful landscaping. It’s quiet, yet centrally located in Santa Barbara. Having several grocery stores nearby and a well equipped kitchen was great!

Loved our stay at Casa del Sol. Tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac, the mid-century gem of a home was perfect for us. The furnishings were simple and elegant, with a fully equipped kitchen. We enjoyed sitting in the private backyard. Location is central, and easy to get to beautiful beaches and hiking areas. We look forward to returning someday!

Stayed here with my girlfriends for a short visit. Place was wonderful and had most everything that was needed. Great spaces for us to sit and chat. Would have been nice to have a dish towel to dry dishes. Otherwise perfect.

Perfect location and comfortable accommodations
This 4 BR/2 BR house on a quiet cul de sac is a minute from the highway, and a minute from great restaurants, shops, and an excellent bookstore. 5-10 minutes to beaches and downtown Santa Barbara. Host is very responsive and helpful with suggestions and recommendations. The only amenity we could have wished for was easy access to a laundry because we stayed for 2 weeks. But laundromats are near by. Lovely back yard to sit and read. Very comfortable visit.

Comfy, classic mid-century
We enjoyed our stay. The home is nice and the back yard is amazing. We were a little disappointed that the water feature was empty (for renovation) and hot water was slow. Other than that, great home, nice beds and sheets, fireplace and outside fire pit was fun. The owner left us a bottle of Pinot Noir which was very nice.
