Loved the location close to downtown. Neighbor’s houses on either side were pretty rundown. Home was comfortable and nicely appointed, albeit a little eclectic. Loved Santa Barbara. The property managers were very responsive and the property services (lawn mowing, etc) were stellar.

I was very impressed with this home. The yard is very well maintained. The property is very dog friendly.
Location with off the street parking and a 2 car garage was great!
I would highly recommend this house. I have already booked it again for 2024

In our 12 years of using VRBO houses, this is our favorite. Super central location, easy walk to County Courthouse and State Street. It is well stocked and has a gorgeous backyard. Charming barely describes it. The two months went by too quickly.

From the wall of bamboo to the lavendar and fire pot, the backyard was a treat. The kitchen was well stocked. Great location, too!

Wonderful home in a great location
This home is really lovely. The neighborhood is fantastic and very walkable to State Street and the beach. I felt safe walking alone by myself. There are several cute sitting areas on the property to enjoy the evening breeze. The neighbors are very nice, the kitchen was fantastic for making meals. it was really hard to leave this house

Wonderful property in great location
This property is wonderful. It felt like a home, not a professional rental. The garden and outdoor space was super. We fell in love with it after staying for a month and would rent again if possible.

Flying south for January
We experimented with leaving the northern cold for CA sun in January. This palace was perfect for my wife and I, as newly retired snowbirds. It was quaint, cozy, quiet, and comfortable. We love Santa Barbara and this property fit our needs for a month away to the sun. We spent lots of time on the back deck.

Better Than the Photos
Stayed for a month at this sweet property. Was even better than the description and photos made it appear. Spotless, super quiet - yet short walk to State Street - made it a great place to get away and recharge. Communication with property manager - Spenser - was excellent.

Great location. Backyard was lovely!

Excellent Location & Lovely Outdoor Space
Magnolia Cottage is ideally located within walking distance to downtown restaurants and stores. It’s an easy 10-15 minute drive to the beaches, and 20 minutes from some amazing hikes. We absolutely loved the outdoor space. The back yard has several seating areas, and there is a beautiful assortment of trees and plantings.
We were disappointed in the house itself. The house is very dark, and the furniture is not comfortable. The linens and pillows are old and need to be replaced.
The management company was very responsive when we had a question about the outdoor grill, and they provided ample supplies for our monthlong stay.

Wonderful cozy cottage!
Magnolia Cottage was perfect for our vacation. The house was very clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The backyard was beautifully landscaped and the garage roof deck was great for outdoor dining - a wonderful private space. We would definitely come back again!

Fabulous Santa Barbara Vacation Rental
We just returned from our wonderful visit to Magnolia Cottage in Santa Barbara. Our daughter
was attending a photography class for the week at Brooks Institute and the house was the perfect
walking distance to school and quaint downtown Santa Barbara. We enjoyed the fabulous home
and amenities as well as the beautiful landscaped yard. Donna and Kelsey at Santa Barbara Exclusive
Rentals provided excellent communication and service both prior to our stay and on our arrival. We look
forward to returning... hopefully soon...to Magnolia Cottage.

Thoroughly Enjoyable Visit
This property worked perfectly for our needs. We were in Santa Barbara for both business and a wedding and stayed for eight nights. Various families members were able to visit at different times and stayed in the 2nd bedroom which had its own full bath and was easily closed off for privacy. The grounds are immaculate and the neighbors were extremely pleasant. The property managers were very attentive and accommodating -- much appreciated! Everything allowed for a quiet stay in a beautiful setting and a great town. We look forward to our next visit!

We look forward to visiting again soon.
