Rick And Lynne are fantastic people.
The place was wonderful and the owners live on sight and willing to help you with anything. It was like I was living with my mom and dad. I had no issues and would definitely return

Family Road Trip
We loved staying in this wonderful home. It was welcoming, clean, and comfortable. The location was great for getting out and exploring the beaches and community. Rick and Lynne were in residence in the separate cottage on the property while we were there. We crossed paths outside a couple of times. They are so friendly, ready to answer touristy questions, while also being completely considerate of their guests' privacy. If you are considering staying here, everyone in our party highly recommends it.

Lovely house in a great location
Hosts were very friendly. Although they were located in a separate building on the property they definitely gave us our space. The house is just lovely and has a very well equipped kitchen. This was a perfect location for us as we were visiting family in Goleta.

excellent family home retreat
Thank you to the gracious hosts for making us feel like a home away from home. The house was fully stocked, impeccably clean and spacious. Wonderful for children with many books and toys while the backyard is fully enclosed and private. A fantastic neighborhood close to everything. Quiet and peaceful- great for relaxing and recharging!

Highly recommend for families!
We very much enjoyed our stay at Rick and Lynne’s home. With two young kids, it was important for us to find a kid friendly house and their place had everything you need and more to offer. It was truly home away from home kind of experience. Furthermore, Rick and Lynne even went above and beyond to help us by driving down some of our stuff that wouldn’t fit in our rental car to our next hotel location.

Great hosts, great house, great location
This was our second time staying at the property for some of us. The house is well furnished both for small children and for our group of five 55+ siblings and a spouse. We appreciate the warmth and helpfulness of hosts Lynne and Rick who are 100% respectful of our privacy. We hope to return for another stay and will recommend this VRBO to our cousins who also visit Santa Barbara.

Wonderful Beach House
This is our second time staying here. We loved our first stay, even more our second, and we are confident we will be back. This house is fully equipped and is great for a solo trip, couples but even better for a family. The house is comfortable, has AC, great amenities, toys and books for kids, beach towels, tv… The house is in a quiet location, and even though the hosts live at backyard cottage, it felt very private. We personally love saying hi to them. They are knowledgeable, kind and always available. The backyard is spacious and has a lovely fireplace. We enjoy grabbing a sip of wine at the end of the day and making s’mores with our daughter.

Wonderful stay in Santa Barbara
This house is a gem for a great visit to Santa Barbara or Goleta. Very nice living space for a dinner party - we were very comfortable with a group of six. The bedrooms are just as described and beds are comfortable. House was very clean and appliances are excellent. We did not meet the hosts but they were most helpful with a couple of questions and responded quickly. We had a great time and had no complaints. Thank you, Rick and Lynn for helping us have a fun San Marcos reunion!

Book this rental immediately!
I can't use enough adjectives to describe how wonderful it was to stay at Rick and Lynne's place. We were a party of 6, with two small children. The home is supremely well-equipped, immaculately clean, and simultaneously a children's delight and child-proof. It's welcoming and homey, decorated in bright colors with interesting touches and yet totally comfortable. Even better, the spirit of the home invites relaxation and joy. We were in Santa Barbara for our son's wedding, which meant there were a lot of activities on the weekend. The home made it possible for us to be on the go and then come back to a cocoon of rest and beauty. I don't think we would have had such a magical weekend without this respite. You'll be just as satisfied as we were! It will be our Santa Barbara go-to from now on.
