"Wow! We really loved the house. We couldn't have been more pleased. A great time was had by all and we are already planning our next trip.. Now I can see why you always seem to be booked up. My brother said it all, "Truth in advertising. This place really is a slice of heaven!"
Thank you for everything!" Best,

"Thank you so much for the prompt refund of our deposit!
We had a wonderful time and will plan to stay longer next time. There are so many good things about your property -- LOCATION, dog-friendly, floor plan, proximity to great riding and walking, just to name a few. As others have mentioned previously (and this was one of the main reasons we chose your property), the fact that the bedroom/bathroom suites are separated makes it ideal for non-related people traveling together. We had never traveled with our friends before this trip. and it worked out just fine. It's hard to believe that we were only an hour from home. We haven't seen so many stars in the sky in a long time!
This is truly a "find". Thank you!"

"I would like to thank you on behalf of my husband, myself and the
other two couples with whom we shared your home last weekend. We had such a wonderful time, and the house had a great deal to do with that! I couldn't get over the location...we parked our car in the driveway on Friday and didn't get in it again until we left Sunday morning. We walked to dinner and wine tasting, enjoyed wine and nibbles in the gazebo, even watched most of Sideways! It was a huge hit and we are all wondering how far in advance you accept
reservations?"

"Our stay was amazing. The house was gorgeous and perfect for our family. We had the most restful and relaxing time we can remember. We were so pleased with the surroundings that we didn't venture far. The location was perfect. The close proximity to
wine tasting rooms, restaurants and art galleries only added to our enjoyment. We will definitely be back and will recommend your
property. Thanks again for everything."

"We just returned home from our visit to California. One of the first things I want to do is to let you know how wonderful the Los Olivos house was!
We were traveling for the first time with my stepson and his fiancee, so I didn't want us to be too close, but I did want a family feeling. The setup of your house was perfect for us. We appreciated the privacy of bed and bath at each side of the living area. And you're correct, the back garden is irresistible. We spent most of our house time, morning and evening, outside, and even enjoyed a fire in the firepit one evening.
We have stayed in rental homes on trips throughout the world, and yours was the best situated, best designed and best furnished we have found.
The town itself is delightful, as well. We will highly recommend your Little Slice of Heaven to friends and keep it in mind for future visits."

"The location of your rental house easily accessible yet privately located on a quiet street within a 2 minute walking distance to town, but the house itself surpassed my expectations: tons of parking capacity in the long driveway, large rooms, bright, airy, and spacious living areas, laundry and full kitchen amenities, and I can’t say enough about the big and beautiful back yard! My mother felt so much at home there that she did some gardening on the property! It truly was “A Slice of Heaven”. I would certainly recommend your rental to anyone staying in the Santa Ynez valley who is looking for a private, relaxing experience in a home away from home. Many Gracious Thanks, Again!"

"The house was lovely and we all had a great time. We are all
definitely keeping the house in our files for future trips. It was
quiet, the backyard was super and it really fit our needs. Being able to walk to town for dinner was also great."

"We loved the house. It was great to be able to walk right into town. The bed was very comfortable. The house is done beautifully, and so, is the yard. Thanks so much. We will be back, and suggest to friends."

This was one of the most enjoyable close-to-home vacations I have been on! The rental is so quaint and lovely! The house is so well maintained and the owners were very easy to talk to and very helpful at making arrangements for our stay. Plenty of room for the whole family. It is such a pleasure to be so close to the town and just walk to everything! I highly recommend this house for a quick romantic get away or a fun weekend with family!

We had some initial issues with access as the lockbox would not function and later found it had been tinkered with by the previous tenants. This problem was resolved within 1/2 hour by the property manager. The house was spotless, well equipped and the location was perfect for a wine tasting adventure. I do not hesitate to give this property an A+ rating.

We had such a wonderful time staying here. There was three of us couples staying here and we could not say enough, how well kept inside and outside were. The home is so welcoming and quaint. It is situated within walking distance of town, yet feels so private with the back yard with no neighbors behind or on left side of home just beautiful green landscaping to look out from the livingroom, dining room. Everything worked well along with a great BBQ. We had such a fantastic stay that we are thinking we would like to come back and stay here next year. This is a great home for a family or couples. Larry was wonderful to work with and very informative.

adequate accomodations but needs maintenance
Guest: KK
(Orange County, CA )
Date of Stay: 10/14/11
Review Submitted: 11/02/11
The property itself was fine. Convenient in location to wine tasting rooms in the area. Listing advertised an additional game room in the house which ended up being an unfinished shack separate from the home. Bedding was very outdated and several of my friends remarked that they felt they were bit by bugs in the home. There were things in the home that needed maintenance but obviously had not been worked on previous to our arrival. Owner was not very responsive in returning phone calls. I would not recommend this property to friends or family.
Owner response:While it is our preference not to dignify this review with any attention, we have no option but to submit a response to the allegations. First, we are not in agreement with many of the supposed facts. It’s important to also highlight that this particular guest was quite happy with her stay, per this email excerpt she sent after her departure…”Just wanted to write you and thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home last weekend. My friends and I enjoyed the time we had there.” What transpired was that this “young professional” became disgruntled when we withheld a small portion of her deposit, because she lost the keys to the house and left the home unsecured at her departure. Rather than admit the indiscretion, this guest chose to fabricate an unsubstantiated story. This not only caused us to have to replace the keys and change the locks, it also inconvenienced our next party upon their arrival. After years and hundreds of guests, we have never had to address such an egregious reaction and hope to never come across a situation like this again. We hope you will take into consideration the many other positive reviews, and welcome anyone to contact us should there be any concerns about how we maintain the property or conduct our affairs. We will also gladly provide references upon request.

Perfect home and location
Guest: Sandra B.
Date of Stay: 10/01/11
Review Submitted: 10/11/11
The home was just as described with a perfect location (just steps from downtown Los Olivos). The location was just minutes from wineries, Solvang and Santa Ynez. The outside and inside was just right for relaxing in the evenings with dinner and a bottle of wine. We accidently tripped a fuse and the owner was gracious and our incident was fixed immediately. Our group traveled from Texas and this home and the area was above and beyond any expectations.

Perfect location and home

Review Submitted: 10/11/11
The home is exactly as described and has the perfect location, just 1/2 block from the downtown of Los Olivos. The wineries, Santa Ynez and Solvang are all just minutes of drive time. We stayed four nights and were able to visit about 15 wineries and also spend some time shopping in Solvang. The Los Olivos Grocery served the best breakfast and we were able to get sandwiches to take to the wineries for lunch. The home provided cozy evenings eating in and having wine. The owner was gracious and helpful. We are so glad we chose this home and cannot wait to return next year.

Myself, my husband and our daughter of 14 months came for a nice little getaway and we were throughly impressed! It truly was "a little slice of heaven". The house and property are both beautiful and well kept. The yard is spacious, and has an array of flowers and plants. We had a lot of privacy and we loved the little perks, like the fountain, subtle illumination in the backyard at night, and the beautiful hardwood floors. We were 2 blocks away from all the tasting rooms and Los Olivos Cafe. We'll definitely be back!!
