Santa Barbara Food and Wine Vacation

We were a group of 5 friends that traveled to Santa Barbara to enjoy amazing wines and delicious food.We attended the Santa Barbara Grand Wine Tasting and had a lovely time!The house was ideally located in a quiet neighborhood, and walking distance to the beach and even to downtown for those willing to trek a little farther.The house was very clean and well appointed. The decor enhanced the spaciousness as it was very open and airy with wonderful sky lights. The bedrooms were very comfortable and there were plenty of pillows and extra blankets. The bathrooms were also very clean and sample sized shampoo/conditioner/ and body wash were provided. Plenty of towels were available, especially beach towels to use after the hot tub and sauna use. And, we spent many enjoyable hours around the fire pit in the backyard. We didn’t use the gas BBQ that was provided, but we used the kitchen often, and found it well stocked with cookware, plates, utensils, etc.The property managers were very quick to respond to our need for a new propane tank, and the FAQ section in the listing was very helpful.A wonderful place for a memorable vacation!

Awesome

We had a fantastic stay! The location was absolutely perfect — close to everything we needed and in a great neighborhood. The house was spotless, comfortable, and incredibly well-equipped. The kitchen had every pot, pan, and utensil we could have needed, plus a generous selection of spices — and of course, salt and pepper!Each room had a beautiful TV, and the fireplace was a wonderful bonus that made the space feel extra cozy. Lance and Donna were extremely responsive and easy to communicate with — truly top-notch hosts.And we have to mention Ellie the cat, the friendly neighborhood companion. She was the sweetest cat we’ve ever met — she greeted us each day and often sat with me on the steps. It was a little unexpected joy that made the stay even more special.A first-class experience from start to finish. We’ll absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Perfect for a girls trip

We are a group of 7 women from all parts of the country who have been friends for over 50 years. The house and location were perfect for exploring Santa Barbara! The kitchen and bathrooms had everything you could possibly need. When we told the host that the Keurig wasn’t working, a new one appeared on the front steps within an hour. The living room and dining areas allowed us to get comfy and enjoy each other with a nice warm fire in the fireplace. The beds and pillows were so comfortable . We loved it and couldn’t have asked for more. Great place to stay!

Beautiful house! Great location! Wonderful memories!

We came to Santa Barbara to celebrate my sister’s 70th birthday. The bedrooms and bathrooms were beautiful and the living space was large and airy. We were even surprised to see a large ping-pong table folded up against the wall that we ended up using! That was a blast! The house was close to the beach and restaurants. We even rented a surrey and rode along the beach. I would highly recommend this rental and the communication with Lance was excellent! We even got to check in early!

Winter Family Getaway

The house is comfortable, clean and has everything you need for a fun family getaway. The decor is well done and it was fun to check out the little details. There are plenty of towels and supplies for your use. We loved the location and took walks around the neighborhood. There was ample space to play games and use the ping pong table. The kitchen items were clean and all in good repair with most anything you need to cook. One tiny downside were the steep steps to the front door, as grandpa is a little unsteady on his feet. Probably not an issue for most people. We highly recommend this home.

AMAZING house in an AMAZING location!!

We so enjoyed our time at this house!! It was perfect for our family with plenty of space to spread out and everything we needed for a comfortable and fun stay! This home is located in a beautiful and peaceful neighborhood and is centrally located to all Santa Barbara has to offer. We especially appreciated that we could walk to see the sunset at a beautiful shoreline park! The sauna and hot tub were a perfect way to wind down after our adventures. To top it all off, the owner/property managers were great to work with and achieved the perfect balance of being available without being intrusive. 10/10!!!

House was very nice and in a nice neighborhood. Easy to walk to different areas. Beaches were beautiful! Had to reset breakers three times. Would be helpful if you have 8 staying to have 8 chairs table height to go around dining tables (folding chair or 2 would be fine).

Short one night stay with my family before a courthouse wedding. This is a very special house that feels like an Oasis. So clean and comfortable plenty of space anything you could or would need is supplied. This was exactly what we needed to make our trip complete.

Girlfriend Retreat

This home is a gem in so many ways. Seven of us have met for annual retreats for over 25 years. We are very particular. The home exceeded our expectations. Open, up to date decor with plenty of comfortable seating, beautiful well appointed kitchen. Host did not skimp on towels, pillows & quality mattresses. Much like a 4 star hotel. All of us would rate this stay with 6 VRBO stars if possible. QUICK WALK TO BEACH makes the location ideal. Lance is a great communicator. Will be returning with my family.
