A very cozy, comfortable and quiet house, a little gem, close to everything

We visited our son for Christmas and we loved this house ! It was comfortable, with a nice cozy living room and very comfortable beds in the bedrooms. It was also clean and very quiet so quite relaxing, with all required amenities. It is also very convenient with a very short drive to downtown, the village (walking distance for shopping) or the shoreline, as well as super-easy access to highway 101. We will certainly try to stay there again next time we visit.

Beautiful, quiet, relaxing & clean

We had a wonderfully relaxing vacation to Santa Barbara while staying in Lynn's beautiful beach home. We are a family of 4 and we felt very comfortable here. It was clean, quiet, cozy & had lovely decorations & views, just as described. It was a close drive to everything, beaches, shopping, Mission, Zoo, but was far enough away to be in a nice, quiet neighborhood to get away from it all. We really enjoyed the ping pong table, spa and boogie boards. This is a great place to stay while vacationing in Santa Barbara. Thank you Lynn for such a wonderful home to stay in away from home!

Lovely Property

We had a wonderful time in Santa Barbara, the house was well equipped and very comfortable in a quiet neighbourhood close to local amenities. The only issue we had was the very charming, but antiquated, oven (71 years old). The owners came straight over and checked it out when we queried it’s suitability (it was safe). Having said that, I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to this lovely house and hope to rebook in the future.

The bed was comfortable. The dishwasher ran excessively; we finally got it to stop after it ran over two hours. Water pressure seemed to be another issue with the property. It would be nice if the closets & kitchen drawers were cleaned & tidied up.

Liked: Amenities
I loved how quiet, private, and quaint the property was; however, I believe there needed to be more updates and cleaning that should have been done before our check-in. Dishes, utensils, and pots/pans that were put away were not thoroughly cleaned so we had to wash them again before using. We were hoping to eat dinner outside in the backyard but the patio seating was covered with cobwebs. Nobody did maintenance on the oven to ensure that everything was working and despite us following the check-out instructions, we found that they didn't have some of the things required for us to not be charged a fee, i.e. laundry detergent for towels. The two other numbers provided (not Lynn's) were unresponsive when I had questions before and during my stay. I didn't get a responses regarding my texts until the morning before we checked out. Not the most professional in my opinion.

Adorable cottage with fantastic views! Short drive to the dog paradise of Hendry's Beach. Hot tub was a delight after chasing the dogs on the beach. Beds were big and cozy with lovely linens! Perfect for a small family or two couples. Close enough to harbor for Brophy Bros. to deliver clam chowder and warm bread. Just got home and missing it already!

This place was perfect for our getaway. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The kitchen has all the basic necessities. The bathroom was large and there was a small on-suite half-bath in the master bedroom. There wasn't any toiletries available so be sure to pack some or go to the nearby store to pick some up! The views are amazing and the hot tub is a major plus. We hope to be able to visit again!
