Lots of clever and thoughtful touches in the house, great spot to relax. Dawn is incredibly responsive. Location is terrific for walking plus short drive to beach and hiking. Really appreciated the enclosed yard for our dog to be outside with us. Will stay longer next time! Thanks Dawn!

Dawn was an incredible host and excellent communicator! We can’t wait to come back to this adorable property in the future :)

My family of three had an absolutely amazing time at dawns place. It was immaculate and the details in all the rooms weee stunning. The outdoor space and bicycles just made the trip even better. We biked down to the beach and state trees which was a block away. If you’re looking book it right away!

Amazing original California Beach bungalow with updated amenities in an ideal location!! Perfect for a small family or friend family get away. We had everything we needed, some days we were working remote and the wifi signal was excellent with many amazing lunch options within a 2 to 3 block radius. On days off we were able to walk to the shops, restaurants, museums, galleries, wharf and harbor. Great small kitchen for quick fixings at home and we even had a bbq out on the patio. For us it was a perfect combination and truly felt like home away from home. The owner Dawn is amazing, kind and attentive without intruding. Our week was quite eventful with an earthquake, tropical storm, power outage and car breakdown and Dawn was supportive through it all and we still had a great SB get away! I highly recommend if you are considering this property you book early as it is an ideal location in the city and books up fast.

My family and I had a wonderful stay in this charming, yet spacious home near downtown Santa Barbara. We had plenty of room inside and out on the back patio. We definitely will return!

The property was fantastic! We had an amazing time and enjoyed relaxing in the backyards in the evening. Just a short walk over to State Street. Dawn is very thorough and great to communicate with!

Wow! This place is so neato! Amazing beds (we slept so well!), super cute details everywhere, fun kitchen to cook in, tiny and spacious all at once! So many charming and fun details, we didn't want to leave. We had the best time with our two kids and their grandma. Super close to great coffee and all the fun of SB. It's a bit of a loud neighborhood so bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper!

The shower can not be used by older adults who have mobility issues. My friend was unable to take a bath or shower. We did not know this and needs to be disclosed. Dawn said that they are putting in a new shower but before that people need to know this. Also the partying at night starts at 11pm. Not bad during the week but I imagine much worse on the weekends. Otherwise it was a great place to stay.

This place is conveniently located and is an easy walk to a large grocery store. The host is very responsive and helpful. It has a lovely backyard for relaxing.

we had just gotten a new puppy and we’re looking for a place to transition before heading back home. This was the perfect house. Just the right size for two friends plus a puppy. The backyard is really nice with the fire pit. House was well stocked with all kinds of amenities, and it was very close to being able to walk to lower State Street.

Everything you could need, including bathrobes!! Dawn was responsive and helpful. Her “house manual” should not be missed. Comfy beds and pillows. We’ll be back.

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was a wonderful launching off point for all Santa Barbara has to offer. We had a parking spot, were able to walk to coffee and restaurants on state street and easily to the beach! The house with very cozy and easily accommodated our family of four. We were surprised at the many amenities that were included in the kitchen + games for night-time fun. Also, nice little luxuries in the towels and sheets! We would stay here again!

This place is just as advertised - small but comfortable and in a great location, just 2 blocks from State (easy walk to lots of restaurants/bars/shops/groceries), 4 blocks from the Amtrak station, and 15 minutes from SBA airport. The house has a lot of character with wainscoting on walls and ceilings. The kitchen is small but well-equipped and very functional with a gas range, microwave, dishwasher, etc. The back patio area with comfortable seating and the fire pit is the piece de resistance of this property. I mean if you're going to California, you want to spend time outside, right? This is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a glass of wine (or two :-) I'm glad to hear that the owner is replacing the tub/shower - that was going to be my only negative comment. A walk-in shower would be awesome! I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at this cottage for the month of February, 2023. The owner, Dawn, is very responsive with any issues that may arise. The location is very convenient for walking to shops and restaurants on lower State Street. The cottage is quite small, with small rooms; it's well-stocked with supplies. The WiFi is efficient and the beds are comfortable. The backyard has a table with chairs and a covered area with two long lounges and a fire pit — it would be very nice in summer. There were a few negatives from the viewpoint of a month-long stay rather than a brief stay. The kitchen is cramped and not modernized. There was little space for storing the large volume of stuff we had brought. The front bedroom had some street noise and the back bedroom had occasional loud music from next door neighbors. The driveway is extremely narrow: our Nissan Altima didn't fit. The 75 minutes limit on street parking was a hassle. The bathroom with a clawfoot tub/shower has no grab bars — maybe an issue for less active seniors (Dawn plans remodeling soon).

The Host Dawn was great with communication. The place was well stocked from cookware, coffee to toiletries. Everything works in this really cozy home, including killer outside fire pit area. We had 4 adults and it was great.. Host Book of recommendations in SB was perfect. Oh and Neighborhood close to State Street ! Love it !

Our family, 2 couples and a 5 year old, loved La Petite Madison Blanche. The decor was stunning and artistic. The space was utilized perfectly and amenities were first class. We especially enjoyed the outdoor area with fire pit. The location is excellent, walkable to many restaurants and The Farmers Market. Dawn was a caring and helpful host, going out of her way to make our visit comfortable. Highly recommend!

The host for Le Petite Maison Blanche offers a relaxing welcome, and provides an extended list of thoughtful amenities for a week-long stay. We appreciated her pleasant and humorous demeanor as felt within the House Book, and the helpful reminders placed throughout the cottage. Most important for our stay anywhere is good sleep, good shower, and being able to bring our "special needs" dog; we're grateful for hosts who allow pets. We slept well; the beds were comfortable. The freestanding tub/shower requires a 22.5 inch step up, over, then you’re in; this was our first experience with this setup and we are not fans, but it was good to have the try. The cottage is older, and wonderfully located near everything -- and so because of this the outside noise coming inside could be unsettling. There is a fantastic collection of books. Weather permitting, it would be a shame to not take advantage of the thoughtfully situated back patio with fire pit – it is very nice! Just a reminder -- visitors with only small vehicles will utilize the driveway. Check in is easy, and check out is easy and appreciated. We enjoyed our stay!

Lovely little house fully loaded. If you might have forgotten it, it was there. Warm and cozy, gorgeous backyard, bikes to explore. Close to everything. Highly recommend for your stay.

Great location allowing you to walk to pretty much everywhere downtown, but expect a lot of foot traffic due to this. Parking is a little tricky due to a permit being required, but a 24 hour lot is a 3 minutes walk away. Great place for a small group of people.

We loved Dawns beautiful little home. Beds were comfortable! Linens, towels, etc…were 5 star! The outside area was perfect for morning coffee and afternoon cocktails. I will definitely be back!! Thanks Dawn

Dawn was awesome. We put some miles on those bikes! Between bikes and walking our rental car was useless!

Couldn’t have picked a better rental! The use of space and fine details in every bit of the house was impressive, and the location can’t be beat. Communication and check in was a breeze, too! Can’t wait to rent again.

Wonderful stay in this petite white house with all of the amenities and details to make a fabulous stay. The outdoor area was our most favorite part to sit and relax!! Thank you for your hospitality!! Gina, Ramon and family

We had a wonderful experience, home is close to downtown SB and close to the Ocean .( walking distance). It had a quaint beauty, reminiscent of a safari/ international travel . Great place to stay !!

Great place that is slightly bigger than expected perfect for a quaint Santa Barbara stay! Perfect location and incredible backyard to hang in. Dawn was a very thoughtful host!

Great location Everything you could possibly need in this cottage. Just lovely It's a keeper

Great house small but perfectly formed, near the funk zone. Such thoughtfully planned interiors. Worked great for our family.

Had a great time staying at the cutest little house! The decoration is just stunning. Our group of 5 (including a rather tall teenager) slept great after exploring Santa Barbara all day and enjoying a show at the Bowl. 6 minute car ride to the bowl and a 30 minute downhill walk after the concert. Also the Saturday Farmers market is just steps away! Wish we had planned on gathering goodies at the market and then using the stocked kitchen. Next time for sure! Was a perfect weekend. Thanks so much for opening your home to us!

Great price, perfect location, roomy for a party of 6. Loved the backyard. Would definitely stay again.

Dawn's property was very quaint and central to everything. We were just a couple blocks away from State street and the restaurants and shops. It was rather tight for six adults (we knew that coming in) but was good for us to stay for one night. The outdoor space was the best part of the property as you can sit in the backyard and have a glass of wine next to a fire. The girls loved the decor and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Dawn was very accommodating and quickly replied to all my messages. I would highly recommend for people that want to experience the best of Santa Barbara.

Dawn really works to maximize the space. It’s super small but super cozy and we loved the outdoor space! We squeezed 6 adults using the trundle but definitely wouldn’t recommend that in most cases but we made it work and loved the location since it allowed us to walk to nearly everywhere we wanted! It’s stocked with so many extras such as dark makeup wash cloths makeup remover bug spray even extra tooth brushes…. We would definitely go back!

Could not be in a better location!! Dawn was a pleasure to work with.
