I picked La Maison based on the location so our family (three generations) could walk easily around downtown. It was great to have the convenience of great local restaurants and shopping within a close distance but far enough (a block away) from the main area. Rachael was very communicative. It was a pleasure to stay here.

Eight of us - two families with teenagers - stayed very happily here. Fantastic location, charming house, well stocked and incredibly comfortable. Would love to come back sometime! Thank you!

Every thing was taken care of in the house, great location and comfortable space.

Would definitely recommend! Great rental.

La Maison is situated in a great part of town a block from St. Street and 7 from the beach. The house is beautifully renovated and furnished and we were very comfortable there. Rachael made it really easy to do and find everything too. Highly recommend staying here.

The layout for our family was perfect and La Maison was fully equipped, with wonderful, up to date decor. It was close to everything downtownwith plenty of parking.

We had a wonderful stay in Santa Barbara at La Maison! So close to restaurants and shopping. Very convenient location. Because we ate in we noticed that the kitchen is lacking serving bowls and platters and there aren’t any food storage containers in the kitchen.

The house is better than shown on the website. The bedrooms are roomy with comfortable beds. The house is clean and everything is easy to find because it is all labeled. The check in and out process was easy and there were no concerns. Would gladly stay at this property on my next visit to Santa Barbara.

Easy process to get in and out. Loved the location and the house accommodated 8 of us easily. Would definitely stay here again!

Our family of 5 had a great time at this house. The inside has many modern touches without taking away from its historic roots and charm. The back patio was a perfect place to relax and surprisingly peaceful in the middle of town. The location could not be beat. Close to State street with many shops and restaurants. Highly recommended.

House has been updated for comfort and the locatiion in downtown Santa Barbara was perfect.

As described, well appointed. Great location; we walked to State St each night and had choice of numerous restaurants and bars. Lighthouse coffee across the street was perfect.

Great location. Great communication.

Rachael is an amazing host! The entire process from booking to check in and then to check out was so easy! She had excellent communication and is very detailed. My girlfriends and I had an amazing stay in Santa Barbara - the location of the house is unbeatable. We would come back and stay again anytime!

An all round wonderful experience!! The owner was very easy to work with. The location was perfect...near State Street. And the house was in excellent condition. Three of us had a great stay. I look forward to returning to this location!!!

We had such a great stay at this house. It was an amazing location. Super close to State St and lots of restaurants and shops. Also walkable to the beach (though weather precluded a visit during our stay). A great coffee shop was a 1-minute walk away. Neighborhood was very quiet during our stay. Easy parking for many cars. Great set up for kids, pack n play included, along with dishes and utensils for kids. Sun room has games and blocks and a very comfy daybed with trundle that my 7 yr old loved sleeping on. The layout was great, 3 fairly spacious bedrooms and doors to close on a living room and the sun room for additional semi-private spaces. Big, comfy dining table indoors and outdoors. We also enjoyed the hot tub. Several space heaters, robes, and extra blankets/pillows available. Hosts were very responsive and easygoing. They even had a nice welcome note and bottle of wine at check in! Highly recommend. We will definitely be back!

Location is ideal for food, shopping, and a short walk to the beach. Accommodations were fantastic. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a getaway in Santa Barbara.

Close to shopping and restaurants. Loved the spa and backyard for BBQ's. Games were a great addition.

La Maison was an amazing property and I couldn’t recommend more! There was a group of 6 and we had more than enough room. It’s also in the perfect location as we could walk through Santa Barbara and to the beach.

So convenient to the beach and the wedding we attended. The long driveway was awesome as we brought bikes and kayaks and we knew they were safe. Loved the inside set up as well. We will be back.

Great location and adorable house. Plenty of room for a gathering of friends and family

Delightful and spacious home that was just steps away from everything in downtown Santa Barbara. We didn't fully appreciate just how central the location was until we arrived and barely had to touch our car to get around to most activities and dining! This clean and tastefully decorated home is on a quiet street two blocks from State Street and offers a relaxing retreat-type feel with modern amenities. Highly recommended!

Perfect house and the perfect location for a visit for a family wedding. Love being able to walk to stores and restaurants and all be together. Thank you

Had an incredible stay at this beautiful Santa Barbara property! Easy and frequent communication with the host. We had a slight hiccup with the sink, and she was quick to respond and help us resolve the issue. The location truly could not be better. Walkable all over Santa Barbara! House itself was clean and much more spacious than the listing even shows. Big and cozy bedrooms, well stocked kitchen, lovely common areas. Would love to stay again one day!

Host was super nice and the house was just as expected. Very clean and the house was in the perfect location to walk around downtown. Definitely would recommend!

I rented this property for my groomsmen and myself as a home base for our wedding. The home was great (my wife was jealous that the guys place was a nicer than the ladies) and fantastically located, walking distance to everything. Check in / check out was a easy.

This is an excellent location, walking to restaurants and shopping. 5 minute drive to the beach. They house is immaculate, stylish and Rachael is an amazing host - she has thought of everything! Please stay here - you will be happy you did!!

What a delight La Maison was! Our family of four was looking for a clean, relaxing place to stay that was within walking distance to coffee, restaurants, shopping, and not too far from the beach. This home more than exceeded our expectations! Everything about this place was incredibly easy -- from check-in, to TV instructions, to check-out procedures, etc. -- because Rachael meticulously anticipated every possible question and need. She clearly set up this home with her guests' comfort and ease as her priority. The house is deceptively spacious and very comfortable and clean. Our favorite part was the adorable sun porch where we would start our days with coffee on the daybed and end them with Uno at the game table. We were also very pleased with the location — a block away from State St, it’s in the heart of Santa Barbara’s restaurant scene. Our teens loved walking up and down the street to shop, grab coffee, and people-watch. Rachael was incredibly responsive, and is among the best hosts we’ve ever had. We will definitely try to stay here again next time we come to Santa Barbara.

The property was as good as the other reviews state. However, I received this notice without warning 6 weeks after I booked and paid a deposit, "My sincere apologies, ...this weekend was not properly priced. Unfortunately, we don't have the budget to offer a discount for a holiday weekend. I've refunded to the total amount." By the time I received that email, all other properties with 3 bedrooms were already booked.. I was given no opportunity to keep my reservation by paying the increased amount before it was abruptly cancelled. If I hadn't checked my email that day and noticed, I may not have been able to re-book (at a significantly higher price than first agreed to), and my family vacation would have to be cancelled. I imagine VRBO has language buried someplace allowing such action by the homeowner, but both failing to live up to a contractual rate agreement, and cancelling a reservation without notice is not an acceptable business practice.

This home is in an excellent location. You can walk to the wharf or to shopping. Many many restaurants also within walking distance. The host was very easy to deal with and responds to questions within a few hours. Home is immaculate. If ever in the area, will be staying again.

I used to live in a 1920s bungalow and miss it so much. This home was very nostalgic for me as the layout of the home was very similar. There is so much character and charm to this property. This isn't just a house to rent. This is a destination and it felt like home to me and my family. There were so many personal touches to this home as well as hotel-like amenities including complimentary tea bags, coffee, soap, shampoo, conditioner, towels for the hot tub, and very plush bath towels and bathrobes. The layout of the living room and dining room made everyone in the family feel included in conversations. We had rented a place in Solvang earlier in the week and just felt separated from each other. I can't comment on any kitchen appliances except the electric hot water kettle and coffee maker - both worked perfectly. The property manager really made us feel welcomed and she is very responsive. My mom had fallen at Stearns Wharf due to the unlevel planks. It was a pretty bad fall, her mouth was bleeding and her knees were swollen and bruised. On top of that she was wearing white pants that were now filthy. I texted Rachael and she graciously allowed us to check in early, when the house cleaner was done. I was relieved to find a fridge with an ice maker to put ice packs on my mom's mouth and knees. I was happy to see we could also use the washer/dryer to wash my mom's clothes, which came out sparkly clean. The bedrooms were comfortable with plenty of storage for clothes. The rooms have ceiling fans which helped in the evenings. It was such a nice welcoming experience to also find a bottle of wine waiting for us with a nice message. There was so much thought and care put into the details and, in my opinion, from the perspective of the renter so that the renter has everything they could possibly need to feel at home.
