About this house rental
Coffee House in downtown Santa Barbara, walk to State St. and Beach
The Santa Barbara City Council has hired a team to sweep across the City and identify unpermitted Vacation Rentals. This offering is a Registered Santa Barbara City Vacation Rental and not subject to unexpected cancellation.
Downtown Coffee House is a Craftsman original 3 br home with sleeping to 8, and with 2 full baths to you. Located in the City of Santa Barbara on a cul de sac, there's ez walking to State St (4 blks) downtown and the beach (7 blks).
This 1905 home is upgraded with central heating & a modern kitchen, while retaining much of the original fittings and character of old SB. This sleeps 8 using the LR 's 2 couch single beds.
A video tour of this home is available: https://youtu.be/O5sqwDGCW38
The Craftsman has 2 bathrooms; one with a shower serves the forward bedroom and also has a door to the living area. The master has a Jacuzzi tub in a private bath. The home posts as sleeping 8, which is 8 on beds and also the possibility of another using a good rollaway single kept in a closet. This home has 2 queens in the bedrooms and a trundle on the rear porch which is a single, or 2 singles with the trundle up when it then becomes a king.
In the living room the corner couch is comprised of two good quality solid beds. These are cot sized, meaning a narrow single, but these are genuine 8" mattress beds on real box springs. Thes 2 beds would make a queen if side by side. These have full bed linens and modern wheels with ez wheel locks to effortlessly move and lock them in place in the living room. More linens are also on hand.
This smaller period home is spacious for 4, comfortable for 6 and will feel small for more than 6. But the sleeping and utilitarian aspect can be stretched to 8. As mentioned, If you are being utilitarian there is also a roll away bed in a closet to sleep #9.
NOTE: We have neighbors who will not be happy with any guest group more than posted on your reservation, and they will document and report any abuse. Any plans for gatherings need to be specifically arranged with the host IN ADVANCE, and special daytime gatherings for anniversaries, wedding coordinating and reunion events, etc., can be approved. Otherwise fee's of $150 per person that come to the property can be assessed in our effort to avoid disturbing partys. Don't book those here! Police reports will be received and large deposit charges assessed, and you may be told to leave without further refunds. It will not work out trying to do that here. (thx ). However, happy plans, daytime only, to participate in wedding gatherings or sometimes a birthday, etc, can work out. We will likely discuss parking and things about the event.
The 3rd trundle bed is in a nice finished rear porch which is smaller than a normal bedroom, but adequate with a day bed and a closing door. The day bed is a real single bed and also has a pop up second single bed which aligns to make a king size area bed. This will use up the entire porch when open!, but these are real mattresses and the porch is very comfortable and airy. With the large living room bed-couch and an additional single rollaway bed in a closet, you can sleep up to 9. Two couples and children is a good use of this home. Three couples fit and will feel intimate. More than 6 is utilitarian and is allowed for you to have good value but will clearly be tight in this smaller home.
Smoking is not allowed in the home. Smoking is highly regulated in the City limits; not in buildings or within 20 feet of others. Smoking is allowed outside and elsewhere on this property, but not indoors.
We are pet owners and invite pets without upfront extra fee's. The floors are all hard surfaces and pretty much pet friendly. There is a fenced yard. If your pet causes visible soiling in the home there is an excellent vacuum in one of the closets to stay away from extra cleaning fees due to the pet. Using the yard for non-clipped nails pets and/or excitable pets will avoid possible damage. We do have a Pet Fee of $50 if we find beach sand or pet hair inside and any manner of pet waste which has been left for our crew to clean up inside or out. We want pet owners to have a NO COST option, however you must mitigate extra cleaning caused by any pet. Vacuuming pet hair and light mopping a rooms floor if needed is an owner responsibility to avoid charges. Using the fenced yard (see pictures) and limiting the pet time inside might be a good minimization for instance.
The TV has NetFlix and Amazon Prime paid. Hundreds and hundreds of movies, TV shows and children's shows. An antenna is also on for local stations to get local news and weather. There is no Cable.
NOTE: Air Conditioning is rarely needed in the beach town of Santa Barbara. However there will be 2-3 weeks a year that can become uncomfortable. We have added Air Conditioning to our rental, however it is a portable model kept in a closet, and requires rolling near the living room window and attaching the hose and fitted bracket to operate it.
You are 4.5 blocks off State Street and you are at block 700 of State at the intersection of Paseo Nuevo Mall and State. This means you are 9.5 blocks from Sterns Wharf, at the Ocean and State. Nightlife is in the 500-800 blocks of State.
There is a host of restaurants, clubs and shopping on State and you will be centrally located to enjoy many choices.
Cancellations that have been charged to credit cards will need to have the card fee's and other out of pockets costs deducted from the refund.

Very convenient with 2 bath and 2.5 bedrooms. Close to the beach, downtown and several stores. Well maintained, clean home with a large selection of coffee and clean linens :)

We had a great weekend at the house. Perfect location with easy walking to downtown and the beach. Great spot for two couples
5.0 / 5.0
We absolutely loved staying at David's adorable craftsman home. The house was clean, fully stocked with everything we needed, and had plenty of room for our group of 6. The location was perfect - situated on a quiet street that was perfect for relaxing at the house in the evening, while still being just a super quick walk to everything in the area around State Street. David was incredibly helpful and responsive during our stay. Thanks for a lovely weekend!

Fair warning: parking is a little tight, so maybe don't bring a huge truck if it can be avoided. Our SUV fit just fine, but anything bigger might be tough. The location was great. Layout of the house itself is a little weird, but still a great place! The communication with the property owner was A+ as well. I will definitely stay again if I'm ever back in Santa Barbara.

overall, great trip. The configuration of the house is weird, but works fine. location was great.
4.0 / 5.0
We enjoyed our stay. The location was great, close to everything. We walked everywhere.
The layout of the house was a bit awkward for 3 adults due to there only being one shower.
An eating area in the kitchen would have been nice, but there was no room for one.
The sleeping porch mattress was uncomfortable - too soft.
Otherwise, everything worked well and the house was clean.
2.0 / 5.0
I'm sad to leave this review, because the house has potential to be great. The location is convenient, quiet, felt safe, all that good stuff. The kitchen was nice and functional. The driveway was bonkers, but worked out okay. The property was okay...there's a dirty old camper outback next to a neglected hot tub.
The main problem is the furniture. The listing is accurate, but somehow every single piece of furniture in this house is actively uncomfortable. The beds felt ancient and creaky and rock hard - we tried both main beds left us with sore backs the entire trip. One of them dipped in the middle and the other one was on a weird incline.
The couch is not even a couch - it's just two tiny beds stuck together and one of them doesn't have a back. You're just sitting there with your back up against a window sill. Even the chairs in the living room were all functionally useless.
Minor complaint - TV was from like 2008 and barely ran Netflix.
Communication with the owner was next to nonexistent. I had to follow up on the day of and ask how to get into the place. I contacted him about the air conditioner and he didn't reply for hours.
If this was a super cheap rental, I'd say okay, you can live with it, but I spent $2,099 for a Friday-Monday trip to stay in a place that was less comfortable than a Super 8 Motel. If you're making that much per night, take some of that money and invest it in the few pieces of furniture that literally all of your guests will be using.

This house was centrally located to shopping areas and we could walk everywhere, so that made our stay nice.The weather was beautiful and we love Santa Barbara.

Great place to stay and awesome location. There are a lot of options for setting up sleep areas. We had an infant and toddler with us and it was amazing to find a pack and play, and an extra twin mattress in a master closet that we could use for the kids. Thanks David! We really enjoyed our stay!

Our daughter graduated HS during pandemic. Never was able to get away. Now our daughter completed community college with 4.0 and transferred to her chosen university to continue her education. This was a wonderful quick get-a-way.

Cute house and close to downtown. Glad there was driveway parking as street was full. Nice kitchen area and funky general layout that gives it character. We all felt the house had a pleasant energy about it and enjoyed our stay. Property management was very available and responsive. Deeply appreciated.

Our cottage was so cozy and relaxing. So close to the whole downtown area, walking to State St or Funk Zone was quick, so we didn't have to rent a car! We want to thank our VRBO host for such a comfortable stay!

Stayed here with my kids and in laws and it was an easy stay. Location is killer for tourism of the beaches and state street.

Walking distance to State Street and with a little energy a stroll to the beach. We found the house to be very clean .
Only one negative comment; the screen door needs to be repaired. We couldn’t leave the door open and enjoy the beautiful spring weather because bugs would fly in.
5.0 / 5.0
This adorable house was perfect for the 4 of us (all moms over 55). Two shared one bed, and the other two had their own beds. The house was clean, well stocked and within walking distance to downtown and the wharf. Safe area.
Communication was fast and easy with David. We had a blast. Would definitely consider this home for another getaway.

Nice home in quiet neighborhood. My only complaint is that the wifi didn’t work even with the password that was provided
4.0 / 5.0
The house is in a great, central location. We didn’t drive more than 20 minutes all week to get to our adventure spots. We walked downtown everyday. The neighborhood felt safe and was quiet. We had a hard time parking in the steep and narrow driveway, so used the street mainly. Would definitely stay here again!
5.0 / 5.0
We stayed here for a family wedding weekend. We were only 3 people but had 3 small dogs and the space worked well for us. Communication was good and it is walkable to State Street. The wifi is slow so be aware if you need to work it may be a struggle. Cute tiny house with a large yard and parking on site.

Thanks we had a great time!
Cute cottage on quiet street/cul de sac and short walk to State Street with all the restaurants etc. Nice back yard if you have a dog.
Perfect for 2 couples and 2 kids.
I would suggest for future guests that a new frame be purchased for the pull out/trundle bed as the old metal frame is VERY difficult for 2 adults to open/close and makes a lot of squeaking during the night if you turn over. Also it would be helpful to have a binder listing any eccentricities re the house and repeating the WiFi password.
Thanks again for a great time!

Property was perfect. Very near freeway but did not hear it at all at night! Party of five loved the property and Santa Barbara. Thank you so much for sharing your property. It was much more fun for us than a hotel! Thank Polly

Funky Craftsman home. We kept trying to determine what the original layout was and what was added on. lol. The listing is very accurate. We had 7 women for a weekend event in Santa Barbara (She is beautiful). It was tight but not uncomfortable. Works well as long as you have no bathroom hogs. We made dinner there one night and had everything we needed. Large backyard, I wish we had brought some beach chairs for relaxing out there. We brought bikes and rode down to the beach for our event. Easy bike or walk to State Street where there are loads of shops and restaurants. There are fans to get the air flowing when its warm.
Plenty of parking. Very long driveway. Also some street parking. The key is in a lockbox on door which is great when you had a large group of people. Just leave the key in the box.

Cute small Craftsman house in a perfect central location to all sights. The house accommodated 3 adults perfectly. We each had our own room, one room with a private bathroom. The driveway is narrow but lead to plenty of parking for two cars in the back of the house. Really enjoyed our stay!
5.0 / 5.0
This was the perfect house for our stay. It was clean and in a very nice neighborhood. There was a driveway, so parking was never an issue. The two bedrooms with two separate bathrooms was the perfect configuration for friends to stay together in one house. There was a very large backyard, and I was able to bring my dog. The property manager was very accessible. I would definitely stay here again.

Quirky little house
Small and strange (where is the light switch?) as these older SB houses are, this house was clean and worked great for my family. Best part was having my dogs with me while staying here.
Owner responded immediately to my requests.
Wrestling with the gate makes me think I need a tetnus shot and a better outside patio set would be perfect for this beautiful Santa Barbara weather. Otherwise it had what we needed and would recommend to others.

Best trip!
My family including young babies visited for a wedding and the location, communication with David and the house was just perfect!! Super accommodating and helped with everything we needed and more! Can’t wait to come back again! We had the best trip!

Great location and cute little house
Overall this was a great little house. There were 4 adults that stayed in the house and there was room for all of us. The location was great, we were able to walk to State St where there are tons of restaurants and shops. The only reason I didn't give it a full 5 is that there was a lack of storage space in the house. There was only one small dresser in the house and both of the closets were full. We came for a wedding so we had to move some of the stuff stored in the closet so we could hang our clothes. We just kept our stuff in our suitcases. If we were there for longer, I definitely would have wanted to unpack my clothes.

Clean, convenient, just what we needed
The house was as described, and host David Sullins responded quickly to my questions. It was a good location and very comfortable. Unfortunately, the hand shower in the Master Bath was broken. And we couldn't find the espresso pot mentioned in the description. Otherwise, everything was great, and we had a wonderful time in Santa Barbara.
