About this house rental
Nestled off the street, this cozy cottage offers a true retreat feel, with being downtown. Five minutes to the beach & ten blocks to downtown, you can walk or bus anywhere. Spacious accommodation with luxurious bedding and an all new kitchen and bath make for a pristine experience with all the comforts of home. Private outdoor lounging and dining areas with hot tub.
All reservations must be over 31 days minimum. Portable air conditioner provided for rare hot days. Now with a KIng bed in the main bedroom.
Families with children particularly like this cottage as it is private and off street with a yard that can be gated. Adults and couples also appreciate the location for its privacy and convenience to all things Santa Barbara.
Additionally there is a private outdoor area for 'fresco' dining and barbecuing or just taking in the sun before or after a relaxing hot tub.
The living room boasts plenty of comfortable seating as well as a 40' large screen HDTV and wireless Internet. A gas fireplace to provide a wonderful ambiance. The 1000 sq ft make this the perfect size for a group of four or a romantic retreat for a couple. Two bedrooms, the main bedroom with a King and the second bedroom with a queen bed complete with luxury bedding and down comforters.
Relax under the flowering trees and take in the wonderful California weather. Santa Barbara's coastal location means that temperatures are usually just perfect, but in the rare instances of a heat spell, we now have a portable air-conditioner we install which keeps the house comfortable for those unusual times.
Set in its own garden setting this private cottage has off-street parking and its own private fenced yard.
$200 Property fee is a Refundable Security Deposit.
Cancellation may be made 60 days prior to the booking. Under 60 days prior to the reservation there is no refund. Trip Cancellation insurance is advised for any cancellation needs outside this policy.
From Scott A, Denver, Colorado, March 2021-- 5 times repeat guest for the winter: Five star review!
"I visit family in the Santa Barbara area regularly during the Winter and always look forward to my stays in this comfortable and perfectly located cottage. The property is set back off the city street in it's own private garden setting surrounded by lovely trees and landscaping. It is completely fenced which is great for my dog that travels with me. I enjoy sitting out on the sunny front porch to do work or just enjoy the peaceful setting. The house is always wonderfully clean and has a large kitchen, very comfortable beds, high speed internet and even a hot tub. Wendy is an exceptional host and is always available to answer questions or take care of any additional needs. The location is very central and just minutes by car to my favorite dog beach, downtown, the funk zone, or the mission/rose garden. Whether you are on extended business or just looking for an escape, this cottage is a great option!" Scott A, March 2021

Cozy and Romantic Cottage
We loved our two-month stay at the Oak Park cottage. Tucked away off the street in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood, we felt very secluded and private while within easy access to everything in Santa Barbara. Well-equipped and furnished, the cottage is an ideal location for getting to know this beautiful city.
We spent a lot of time out on the front porch relaxing in the nurturing presence of the many different trees surrounding the property, especially the beautiful huge Jacaranda tree that
you see in the picture, which overhangs the driveway and creates the perfect shady grotto for morning coffee and breakfast.
Wendy and Chuck are great hosts and were very responsive to our needs.

Cute craftsman style home tucked between other homes and apartment. Well equipped kitchen. Nice yard and front deck. Close to everything in Santa Barbara. Driveway was a challenge for our big SUV. Owner was very responsive to our requests.

The Perfect Spot!
We absolutely adore this cottage! The location is phenomenal, easy walk to restaurants, the Mission, and downtown, close to the beach, and a very dog-friendly area. The cottage is well-stocked with plenty of nice linens and kitchen items. The owners are the best - very responsive to any issues and with great tips for locations to see! We would definitely stay here again.

We were so pleased with this beautiful cottage in Santa Barbara. When we went down the driveway, we were thrilled to see how private and secluded the house was. The location is also excellent. We were able to walk everywhere in Santa Barbara- all along State Street, out to the pier, and along the beach- before returning to enjoy the peace and tranquility that the cottage had to offer. I highly recommend this delightful cottage to anyone visiting Santa Barbara!

Cute cottage in convenient location - just too warm
Overall, we had a fine stay. The property is adequately furnished, though there were several minor things: a light hanging down in a kitchen cabinet, a loose shower curtain rod, a hair in the tub/shower from the previous occupant, wet bath and kitchen mats washed just prior to our arrival. But our biggest challenge with the cottage was the heat. The days we spent in Santa Barbara were quite warm. The cottage did not cool down in the evenings (only the bedroom windows had screens). We were gone during the days, so the cottage reached 89 degrees inside. Even with 69 degrees outside and fans going with doors and windows open, the cottage did not cool below 79 by 11pm. Screens on other windows may not be necessary in the daytime, but at night we didn't want to attract bugs with open windows and lights on inside. How about more screens? Especially to give a cross-draft to cool off the house. I don't know how often it gets this warm in Santa Barbara, but for our stay, it was too warm.

Great house. Great location. We enjoyed the privacy that the house provided offset from the road. Can't wait to rent again.

Real homely feel, nicely appointed and a lovely quiet neighbourhood but only minutes from everything you will need in Santa Barbara. Little things, often unnoticed or commented upon - real quality bedding and a super comfy bed, deep pile in the carpets and heaps of quality towels - it's the little touches that a make a difference and a stay memorable from others. Thank You.

My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cottage. It was very clean and comfortable and had everything we could ask for. The location was excellent. It was very private and we spent a lot of time enjoying the front porch. Wendy was very pleasant to work with and I would recommend this adorable cottage to anyone.

Great location with other issues
We rented this place for a weekend as I was attending training nearby. Although the house had fans, it not have air-conditioning and at 85 degrees both days (outside) the house was humid and very difficult to cool down with 4 fans going full on around the house. The coffee cups had not been cleaned (dark rings of coffee in all of them), we had to rescrub these. We ended up leaving to stay in a hotel a day before checkout as it was difficult to sleep as the house was so hot.

The Perfect Place
We - a family of four - had a great time at Craftsman Cottage. Everything was as described here on the website. Clean, spacey, quiet and located very well near downtown Santa Barbara. Excellent wi-fi, great TV option incl. Netflix, a perfectly equipped kitchen - we can't say anthing but the best about our stay. Would be lovely to come back!

Perfect place for a relaxing stay!
My friend and I stayed for 3 days over a recent holiday weekend. I loved having a place to come home to. Wendy gets every last detail taken care of so all you have to do is relax! Another great thing is that it's a short walk to McConnell's.
