We had a delightful stay in this charming cottage. It’s just a short walk to funky shops, bike trails, and a majestic beach. I was able to take a nice five mile run with a light ocean breeze at my back and no humidity! Living on the east coast in the summer means you have to plan your activities for early day, so as to avoid a soaked exhaustion. Here, I didn’t have to plan a time. We ate fresh grapefruits each morning, plucked from the happy tree in the door yard. The space provided a sheltering afternoon shad, where we could enjoy a glass of wine and some relaxing reading. We were delighted to find they provided a Nespresso machine for coffee. Our morning coffee is important to us, providing an elevated coffee option enhanced our stay. They were thoughtful in offering not only a dairy creamer, but a coconut option as well, perfect. Our favorite restaurant was Toma. We were seated inside near an open window with an ocean view. This seemed crazy to a couple of Mainers, at home we would have been carried away by mosquitoes. We enjoyed grilled Spanish octopus , Tuna cones, and sausage rigatoni. The premium cocktails were spot on. Don’t miss out on the farmers market. They set up camp on state street every Tuesday starting around 3:00 in the afternoon. I bought one of everything I hadn’t heard of before, and was pleasantly impressed.The vendors were kind and generous. We loved this place and hope to return next year.

This house is very clean and comfortable for 6 people that were in our party. The location is perfect for walking to the beach and meals. Great breakfast, dinner and wine places all within walking distance. Just a couple blocks up from beach make it walkable and perfect for beach biking. The hosts are very knowledgeable on making the stay enjoyable. Backyard was relaxing and beautiful to sit in and enjoy. The house has amble room and is very clean. The furniture is comfortable and so are the beds and rooms. New remolded but full of the original charm. And an absolute bonus is the driveway parking!!! Street parking SB can be a nightmare and this was game changing in the experience! Will absolutely return

Leaving a review because of how amazing our stay was. More specifically, the hosts were awesome to work with. We did a family vacation for the week of july 4th. As a UCSB grad, I LOVE being back in SB. Location was absolutely perfect, and we walked everywhere. House was comfortable for us all, and had more than the expected amenities in the kitchen and throughout the house. There were beach chairs, bikes, ping pong table, beach towels, hot tub, kitchen needs, hair dryers, and even tools! The parking situation is standard for most beach cities but we were able to find some street parking. Driveway was a little tight. And no AC (again standard for SB), but they do provide fans and you’re close enough to ocean that you get that strong ocean breeze in afternoon to cool off. The thing that stood out most to me though was the owners. They were so accommodating in letting us get into the house a little bit earlier than check in time since the house was sitting vacant. This was SUCH a positive because it didn’t feel like we lost our first day with unpacking, getting kids situated, grocery store then kids bed times. They provided a very detailed guide to the house which was also appreciated. Upon departure, They were even open to us leaving a little later if we needed to (house wasn’t being rented that afternoon). Although these are simple things, sometimes owners aren’t open to it/want to charge you more. This made our trip even better! Thank you so much!

Perfect house easy walking distance to State St, beaches and Santa Barbara attractions. Bikes were a great bonus as there are great bike rides up and down the beach. Family of 5, 3 teenagers. Would definitely stay there again.

Great little place that has everything you need on a quiet street. Close to the beach and walking distance to restaurants. Don’t worry about renting this place it is a gem!

We throughly enjoyed our stay at this house during my daughter’s graduation weekend. There was enough room for my husband and I, my sister and older daughter and my father. Everyone loved the house. We also appreciated the early check in on our first day. The location was perfect. A quick walk to State street and the ocean. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and open to the dining area and living room. Thank you to the owners for sharing your house with us.

Beautiful home in a perfect neighborhood. Walking/biking distance to all downtown amenities including the marina and pier. We rode bikes all over town with our 1 year old in tow. Looking forward to going back.

Had a fabulous stay! Leann was an amazing host and honored an early check in as well as a late departure. Extremely well kept property, meticulously clean. Our daughter loved the grapefruit tree in the backyard and they provided beach toys/ chairs/ bikes which was so convenient. Can’t beat the location, no car necessary at all. Would highly recommend!!
