We absolutely loved our stay! Our family loved the layout of the home and how spacious the yard was. It's a perfect place to take kids. Our kids loved the trampoline, exploring in the yard, and their own private quarters in the basement. The house is very spacious and yet still feels cozy. The kitchen is a great entertaining/cooking kitchen. Its close proximity to the beach, freeway, shopping, and SB hub made it a great location! The homeowners are very accommodating and made us feel welcome at their home! We will definitely come back!!

We stayed for several days in celebration of our son's wedding. The house perfectly met all our needs for this event and we especially enjoyed sitting out in the back patio, enjoying conversation and lots of bird activity. The home was very clean and organized and I would certainly recommend this property to others. It was close to all our planned events at Elings Park and Leadbetter Beach. We enjoyed a final family dinner at The Boathouse nearby.

Betsy and Bill have a very comfortable, cozy home. The common rooms, LR, DR and kitchen are large and spacious. The kitchen is equipped for a gourmet chef. Every amenity is available. We were 3 adult couples and ended up using the basement bedroom instead of the third bedroom which really worked out well for everyone. We each had a spacious bedroom and a private bathroom and lots of privacy from each other at night. If all of this wasn't enough, the highlight is the outdoor environment. While close and easily accessible to the freeway, the home makes you feels like you are off in a forest. Everywhere you look, there are trees. The backyard is huge and peaceful and relaxing. There are large windows or glass patio doors throughout the common rooms and master bedroom. Everywhere I looked, I could see trees! It was so pretty! i highly recommend renting this home for a relaxing family weekend. I'm looking forward to spending some time there again! Thank you!

The home was extremely comfortable and spacious. All aspects were high quality especially the kitchen appliances. Also, there was comfortable indoor and outdoor seating for relaxing and dining. The privacy was a special surprise as we felt like we were in a nature preserve. Our entire family was very impressed and would eagerly use it again. The Monroe family

We had a wonderful stay at Betsy and Bill's beautiful home. It has a large chef's kitchen which is well-equipped and makes preparing meals as a family a terrific experience. Their backyard is gorgeous and spacious and includes a vegetable garden. The house is equipped with a Sonos speaker system which plays throughout the house which is a great feature which we enjoyed during our entire stay. The property is a short five-minute drive from a beautiful beach which we enjoyed almost every day. Within walking distance, there is a park with trails and fields for playing sports. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Santa Barbara!

We had fresh kale, tomatoes and basil from the house's garden. Grilled and ate a wonderful meal outside. Biked to the beach. Slept with windows wide open, enjoying the nice outside temperatures and quiet area. Great place and I can't wait to go back.

I could go on and on all day and night about just how amazing this home, it surrounding area, and the accommodating owners were before, during, and after our group's stay. The home is spacious and the neighborhood, community, beaches, and city are all gorgeous. If I'm ever in Santa Barbara again, I know exactly where I'll be staying!

Betsy was such an incredible hostess. When she saw how many people were in our group, she immediately went out and found a few more bicycles for us to use during our stay. She has wonderful recommendations for hikes, walks, beaches, farmer's markets etc. The house is absolutely lovely. It is comfortable, spotless, beautiful and everything that one needs for a relaxing, fun stay is there. We wished that we had booked for a longer stay and hope to come back!

Betsy and Bill were terrific every step of the way and the family loved the house! Everything is clean and in good shape. The kitchen was well appointed and the beds very comfortable! We plan on visiting again in the future!

We had such a wonderful experience in this home. The owners were so kind and went out of their way to make sure we were happy and that we had everything we needed. We will certainly stay again if we are in that area. This property is highly recommended.

My wife and I have not had the opportunity to go on a vacation in quite some time, considering the hectic nature of my work. We were able to book this wonderful home at a very reasonable le price and we're incredibly pleased with the home. Bill gave us a tour of the property and was able to give us some great insight into some of the beaches in the area. There were boogie boards, surfboards, beach towels, and toys available for use. The neighborhood is super quite and secluded, as well as within biking distance from the beach (only a mile away). The amenities within the house are great and the interior is gorgeous. There were five of us total and there was more than enough room for all of us, without getting into each others way. We would most certainly go back!! All in all, a great experience.

My family and I stayed here for a long weekend and it was fantastic. My family had a wonderful time and wanted to know when we were coming back. The home is centrally located so you are never more than a few minutes to something (State street, the beach, etc.) I love to cook so the kitchen and garden were by far my favorite parts of the home. The garden truly was a lovely bonus which we took full advantage of. There wasnt a meal made that didnt incorporate something from the garden and there is something special about eating a warm cherry tomato straight from the vine. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone considering a stay in SB.

This property is in a great location. The area is quiet and rural but only minutes to the center of town and the beach. This home is very clean, well maintained and there were three comfortable bedrooms and a 4th queen bed in the finished basement den. Well appointed kitchen with high end appliances and a garden of tomatoes, lettuce, plums, basil and more that was made available to us during our stay. Eco minded owners require composting,recycling and conservation of water by having only two periods a day when hot water is available for showers. All in all this was a very good rental with owners who care and are available for questions. I would highly recommend

We had the best time at this spacious, beautiful, and comfortable home! The home owners couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. I would recommend this home without hesitation and hope I'll have the chance to stay here again myself.

We had a wonderful time staying in your lovely home! We enjoyed eating in your beautiful yard and when we could tear ourselves away, exploring the area. You have been such gracious hosts& this was the perfect spot to stay while we were in town for a magnificent wedding. Thank you so much for sharing your piece of paradise!!

Betsy and Bill went above and beyond to create a nice vacation rental for us. They asked questions about the things we liked and left activities, toys, and even surf boards for the kids. They were attentive every step of the way. I find it hard pressed to think of another situation where the homeowners would be so thoughtful. The house itself is a beautiful home and very functional for a family with kids. We even enjoyed fresh vegetables from the garden. The house sits in a cul de sac and there are some other neighbors on the street. Even the neighbors are friendly. But once inside the house you feel you are in a very private spot. Lizards abound - which our young kids had great fun counting. It is situated close to Elings park which is a beautiful park. For a family getaway close to downtown Santa Barbara but in a quieter area this is a good option especially for families.

Our family of 10 stayed in Betsy and Bill's home over the holidays and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. As described, the house is spacious with an open floor plan and the basement allows for flexible sleeping arrangements. The gourmet kitchen could easily accommodate various people milling about, and there was plenty of dining space for us all to gather together. We especially enjoyed the surround sound system and the gorgeous woodwork and stonework. While the neighbor's property is close by, we barely noticed once inside the home. The surrounding nature (and generous number of windows to enjoy it) provided plenty of privacy. We even saw a bobcat on our last day--incredible! We were so impressed with the ease of getting around to the beaches and downtown. To top it off, Betsy and Bill were so warm and helpful. We truly felt welcomed and recommend this rental to anyone visiting the area.

My family stayed at this house for a week over July 4th weekend to celebrate our daughter's 2nd birthday and had such an amazing time The house is wonderful, incredibly peaceful, and has everything you need for a great stay. With the huge windows and great views of trees, the house really feels like it's in the middle of nature and away from it all. It's a great place to relax. The kitchen and bathrooms are all beautiful and the house is very clean. The kitchen is completely stocked and all drawers in the bathroom, closets, etc. are empty for renters' things. The owners have left some items for renters like guitars, games, etc. which is great. Our daughter loved the large trampoline in the backyard. The location is very convenient to so much in Santa Barbara, and it's a close bike ride to the beach. What makes the house so special, though, is the owners, Betsy and Bill, who are honestly the nicest people we have ever met and continually went out of their way to help make our stay great with restaurant recommendations and any help we needed. We wish we lived closer so that we could be friends with them and see them often. If you have a chance, get a massage and pilates lessons from Betsy - she's amazing! The neighbors are also so nice and let our daughter pick vegetables from their garden and use their children's bikes. A very special rental and highly recommended.

My family stayed here for a week, and we had a fantastic time. The house is gorgeous, and Betsy and Bill were fantastic hosts. This house has absolutely everything – convenient location, beautiful decor, plenty of space, really comfortable beds, great backyard, huge kitchen and everything you could possibly need for the beach (towels, chairs, umbrella, etc.) Highly recommend!
