Perfect location. Great to rediscover Santa Barbara after 30 years.

I was a little disappointed with the size of the property when we first checked in. But after a few hours outside as well as inside, I realized you can't judge this property solely on the size of the bathroom and the bedrooms. You must take into account the great outdoor seating areas and the location. The location is simply the BEST for Santa Barbara. You are literally a stone's throw from the Amtrak station which is at the base of State Street. If you intend to imbibe and eat your way through Santa Barbara, this is the place to stay. As for the size, once I compared this property to the many hotels and motels a block to two away, this place gained so much more in value. It is clean, comfortable and homey. It is not chic, modern and hip. But if you want comfort, convenience and proximity to the best of Santa Barbara, this would be my choice. The weather was perfect during our stay and this allowed us a few hours sitting outside on the very comfortable and clean lounge chairs. The sun, a slight breeze from the ocean and an occasional blast from the Amtrak Surfrider pulling in and out at the station really creates an ambiance and comfort level.

My family spent a week at this property and we were thrilled with the ease and location of our stay. We walked everywhere as this cottage is a block to the beach and a couple of blocks to the funk zone for wineries, galleries, breweries and shopping. The property is so well maintained and we enjoyed the outdoor space for morning coffee and afternoon wine. There are orange trees in the back yard and we picked and enjoyed them daily! This place is a gem and we will definitely return.

Amazing property with the best location to visit SB beaches and downtown/funk zone. Great beaches, restaurants and water activities with a relaxing home as your base!!

We really enjoyed our time here. It was very clean, great walkable location and we had fresh orange juice from the trees every day. Was a little nervous to have to sign an agreement outside of the VRBO app, but there was nothing concerning in it and we had no issues from the host. We heard the train a couple of times, but only during the day, and no noise issues at night. All guests enjoyed the home and would stay again.

Casa Capricho was a great little house in an ideal location to explore Santa Barbara. It's in a very nice neighborhood close to the beach and the Funk Zone. We were able to walk to restaurants, the harbor, the wharf and more. The house has everything you need. The yard is private and quaint. We would stay here again.

This was the perfect place for my wife, son and I to enjoy everything Santa Barbara has to offer. We could walk most everywhere we wanted go. Restaurants, bars, the Funk Zone and the beach are literally a block away. Super comfortable home with the greatest little paradise of a back patio and yard. This home has everything you need for a perfect stay. Parking on site is such a plus as well. I would recommend this house to anyone looking to spend some time in Santa Barbara.

Perfect location and house for our family of 4 visiting Santa Barbara. Highly recommend

We come to Santa Barbara every year for New Years (UCSB grads classes of ‘99 and ‘05!). We discovered Diane’s house three years ago and it’s been so nice to bring our young children down to stay- the house is cozy and clean and it has been a game changer not having to drive everywhere. Diane and Don are lovely and responsive and go above and beyond to help the family get settled.

Walk everywhere to shop, eat, exercise, and enjoy Santa Barbara from this perfect little house in the middle of peaceful West Beach. The best part—free parking in the driveway.

But just to be accurate, it is a 3/4 bathroom, not a full bathroom as it is a shower only not a bathtub. Otherwise, everything was great.

We had family visiting us in LA from PHX and we decided to plan a weekend trip on the train to Santa Barbara. Booking this house made the trip so perfect. Great location just a 4 minute walk to the train station, and 5 minutes from the beach and wharf. The house is charming and cozy and clean. Would definitely stay again.

It was wonderful. The pillows and beds were comfy. The fireplace was a bonus. The yard was delightful. We didn’t really use the kitchen but it was super cute. The location was the best.

A well-maintained, lovelyhouse with all we needed and an easy walk to waterfront. Quiet, with side and back patios for hanging out.

We loved our stay in this charming home! Beautifully appointed, gorgeous/private yard, and such a wonderful location - easy walking to so many great spots in Santa Barbara. Would absolutely return!

We loved this home which is perfectly located within walking distance of both the beach and shops/restaurants in Santa Barbara. Can’t beat it!

This home was spotless clean. All necessities were available to cook and the outside yard and seating area was great. We had our daughter and boyfriend over one evening to grill. It was wonderful. The location was amazing. Walking distance to the town, pier and yacht club. Everything was great!

Location is perfect. Walking distance to the waterfront and wonderful restaurants. Interior is lovely. Exterior living space is exceptional. Follow the sun all day (if you are home). You will not want for a thing here.

My family and I stayed here for three nights. The location is great. The properly is wonderful and Diane was a great host. Would stay here again.

We loved this charming Spanish colonial home! The decor is lovely and the owner has thought of every detail to make your stay comfortable. The yard is quiet and beautiful - perfect for lazy reading afternoons or just listening to the birds and eating an orange picked fresh off of the tree. The location is perfect - walking distance to the beach and the many great restaurants and shops in Santa Barbara. Off street parking is an additional amenity.

We absolutely loved our stay. Didn’t need a car since it was walking distance to everything. House is in perfect condition and Diane was alway available for assistance. Picking oranges from the tree in the backyard, comfy beds, fireplace in den, beautiful backyard..just perfect! Highly recommend, can’t wait to return again.

Loved staying here while we vacationed in Santa Barbara! The house is absolutely charming and cozy. The backyard is beautifully landscaped (including an orange tree from which to pluck fresh oranges) with comfortable seating areas on the patio to enjoy. Just a few minutes walk to the Pacific Ocean, Stearns Wharf, and many wonderful restaurant choices. Diane was a wonderful host and communicated directions and information clearly. We loved our stay here!

The house was perfect for our long weekend stay. Beautiful inside and out with exceptional gardens including an orange tree for picking.

We did not want to leave this wonderful location by the beach in Santa Barbara! Fabulous location. Beautiful house and yard with patio. Our family of 4 had a wonderful time walking to the beach, State St food, and the Moxi. We will be certain to return.

This beautiful spinach style home was a dream. The property is clean and fully stocked with all we needed for our stay. Kitchen and bathrooms are well organized and stocked with essentials. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces which are beautifully landscaped. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The indoor living room is cozy and a plus is the fireplace. Walking distant to shopping, restaurants and wine tasting. Overall we had an amazing stay in a beautiful well loved property that felt like home.

Awesome location, great property with a cool private backyard!

Lovely weekend in Santa Barbara. Close to the beach, tidy home, easy parking!

We enjoyed a beautiful weekend in Santa Barbara at this wonderful property! The house is quintessential Santa Barbara...charmingly decorated and beautifully landscaped. You can't beat the location!The house is located on a quiet street and is within easy walking distance to the beach, excellent restaurants, the Funk Zone, and State Street. There are several outdoor sitting areas that we couldn't enjoy due to rain, but that would be lovely to enjoy with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine in warmer weather. We loved our stay at this property.

Easy to book and great location. Really appreciated the distance to the beach and state street. Great for a family vacation with the gated yard. Highly recommend.

Excellent size property big outdoor area .ground floor position ideal for those with walking difficulties. (ie me as i had ruptured achilles so was wearing moonboot)apartment has everything you need for sc.some noise from yappy dog in morning but not a problem for us as we have 2 of our own.great communication from host.would definitely rent again as a famiky group.Beds firm but always got a good nights sleep.

I enjoyed staying at this charming beach cottage to write holiday cards and watch the fire in the fireplace. Diane's instructions about various aspects of the property were clear and informative. I felt very comfortable all weekend, and I'd love to return for another visit.
