We very much enjoyed our stay in this comfortable little studio. Walking the nature preserve was nice and the neighborhood featured many beautiful houses and flowers.

My wife and I very much enjoyed our 3-night stay in this very comfortable studio in the foothills at the edge of Santa Barbara. It was as described and depicted in the photos, and very clean. The courtyard was a wonderful place to sit and do some reading. The landscaping all around the yard is gorgeous. Although it's several minutes drive away from downtown Santa Barbara and the harbor, that's as much an advantage as a disadvantage. And right at the bottom of the street is the San Marco Foothill Preserve with access to a number of hiking trails. When we walked down there to explore, we bumped into our hosts, Christina and Michael, who were just finishing their hike and generously lent us their hiking poles (and did so again the next day--thanks!). Except for that chance encounter, we did not see them during our stay, so the whole visit felt very private. But Christina was very responsive whenever I communicated with her. Would definitely stay there again.

This is a studio apartment next to their main home, but the hosts have created a space that feels very much like its own little oasis. The apartment gets lots of natural light, and it is a decent size with a separate walk-in closet on the way to the bathroom. The location is wonderful, only a few minutes from the highway (and so about 15 minutes for virtually everything) but still very secluded and tranquil. The only caveats are that it is a studio apartment: the bed is a pull-down Murphy bed and the kitchen is not set up for serious cooking (small fridge, no oven, etc.) We were there for a two day escape, and it was perfect for us.

A great place to stay during UCSB’s graduation weekend. Not too far from Goleta, close to downtown, roomy enough for hanging out a little with extra family members between events. The accommodations are homey.

We loved the Palace - beautiful and comfortable space in the gorgeous backdrop of the Foothills. It felt just enough ‘away’ to be peaceful but a quick 10 min to downtown. Our hosts were also very helpful and communicative. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing time staying at this studio! It is very spacious and extremely cozy. Check in process was very easy. We arrived later in the day, unloaded our bags and had a look around, the pics in the listing do not do it justice. We had plans for the evening and could not wait to get back. Someone was at the main house during our stay but they did not bother us at all and had the garage door not been opened we wouldn't have even noticed they were there. During our stay it was very quiet and peaceful. The place was clean, plenty of blankets, towels, and it had the basic necessities to cook a meal (we didn't cook during our stay). We did use the fridge and it worked perfectly fine. There was only two of us but there is lots of room for maybe a total of 3-4 people..... We would love to return and stay here again.

We loved our time in Santa Barbara! This studio was in a great location because one felt far removed from any busy streets or busy nightlife, but we could drive within minutes to great restaurants, the botanic garden and even the ocean. Plenty of room for a couple—really enjoyed the extra space near the bathroom to store our luggage and clothes. Although we dined out each evening, the kitchen was stocked so that it would be easy to prepare dinners etc. The neighborhood was very pretty with lots of beautiful landscaping. We would definitely visit again.

Clean and well stocked stay for a weekend trip my boo and I had for the Memorial Day weekend! Location was beautiful and close enough to many sites within Santa Barbara.
Check in process was super easy. Would absolutely recommend this place to others in the future or even stay again!

We enjoyed our stay at this unit. The location is great because it is close to downtown Santa Barbara and Goleta, where our college daughter lives. Yet, being up in the hills with a gorgeous succulent garden and fountain makes it feel secluded, private. (We were the only people there in the house as far as I could tell.) The unit had everything we needed kitchen-wise and it had enough furnishings (a chaise and a couch) so our family of four could have family movie night. (We brought our Roku stick from home.) The bed is a Murphy bed, so it’s adequate in terms of comfort. We would stay here again.

Great location - wine tour picked us up at the property (sometimes you have to meet at a central location), easy to get to everything in and around Santa Barbara, close to great hiking. Beautiful neighborhood.
Great communication with hosts - gave us privacy but also quick to respond to our requests. Restaurant recommendations were spot on.
Would definitely stay here again!

Northern Santa Barbara blissfulness
A calm peaceful place to unwind and decompress. Unbelievable succulent garden, and gentle fountain water sounds added to the relaxing atmosphere. It was perfectly located for my art workshop in Goleta and Isla Vista. 5 star all around

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in the studio. It was very clean and quiet.
Christina and Michael were friendly and helpful. They gave us some great suggestions on where to eat and some fun things to do.
The kitchen is small for preparing and cooking a meal, but it was convenient to heat up some leftovers in the microwave. It has an electric 2 burner hot plate if you choose to cook.
The bed was comfortable and we slept well.
The courtyard was beautiful and peaceful. My only suggestion would be is to have a couple of chairs and a small table for wine in the evening or coffee in the morning.
We enjoyed our stay there and would gladly stay there again.

Everything was perfect. The room was extremely clean and nicely decorated. The owners took great care in making sure everything we could need was provided. The kitchen was nicely stocked, including two types of coffee makers and a nice toaster. The bathroom had soaps and shampoos, and lovely robes...The main room is spacious and comfortable. Although it is up in the hills a bit, it was quite easy to access. We even hiked in the nearby open space. It was perfect for our quick getaway.

Tranquil spot in the foothills
Great unit for my daughter and me on mini-adventure to Santa Barbara. It had nice amenities such as small fridge, coffee maker, microwave, tv and table for eating and desk for working at. The hiking trail near their house is great. We would definitely stay here again.

Great neighborhood
Nice spot, just don't miss the driveway. I missed the turn and went up the road to turn around and had a neighbor in a jeep block the road and harrass us about where we were going. My wife was scared by this encounter, but once we ended up getting there everything was fantastic.
