  • After staying in John and Sue's Shady Oak Guest Apartment, we now consider it our wine country home away from home. The location is quiet yet central, the beds are comfy, the filtered water is a huge plus, and the boot glasses are a hoot! You have to stay here, but not on any of the weekends we're planning to be in town - I can guarantee a fight over it.

  • Perfect location up in wine country! My fiance and I have stayed at this apartment twice and had a blast both times - first with another couple and the last time just the two of us. It is a short drive to town and to all the wineries, the price is very reasonable, and John and Sue are great. I would highly recommend it, we will definitely go back.

  • Stayed here in a group of five graduate students, while in town for a conference. The apartment was a great place to have as home base--everything exceeded our expectations! A great location, too. We'd definitely stay here again, or bring family.

  • We were back in February, 2009 for another great visit to see the time trial stage of the Amgen Tour of California in Solvang, and can't say enough how about great this place is. We were comfortable and so at home with all of the extra touches. If you're looking for a fun, relaxing getaway with some of the most beautiful and peaceful areas in the U.S., this is the place. Thanks, John & Sue!

  • We must say that picture posted in VRBO does not do any justice of how beautiful the place looks. We were two couples with 2 kids. And the apartment had all the ameneties we needed plus a video library, Electric BBQ Grill, books and toys for kids. Hosts were very accommodative in making our stay comfortable and we will definitely visit Shady Oaks again.

  • Wonderful apartment, location and hosts! We were cozy, comfortable and surprised at all of the special touches. The apartment is ideal if you want to prepare meals and have groceries on hand. Very comfortable for 2 couples, and kids. IDEAL for cyclists: amazing riding nearby. We'll definitely be back.

  • My son and daughter and I spent a week at the Shady Oak VRBO earlier this month (November). The apartment was very comfortable and we all felt the word “Cozy” in the apartment description on the website was very fitting. We liked the fact that it was close to the little town of Santa Ynez where we spent several mornings wandering around and getting to know the local flavor. You have to stop by the Roasted Bean Coffee House where the locals all gather to gossip about events taking place in the Santa Ynez Valley. Shady Oak vacation owners (John and Susan Fowler)were very good hosts and provided us with all the information we requested regarding what sites to see (Miniature horse farm, Cachuma Lake, Wineries) and also with our requests for specific food type restraunts in the area. The Big Oak tree which literally is right outside the front door of the apartment made my kids feel like they were staying in a tree fort. Of course, I appreciated that it also had all the amenities of a nice vacation rental. I would highly recommend Shady Oak to those of you who are budget conscious. The Santa Ynez Valley allows for a break in one's hectic life and the opportunity to experience the peace and tranquility it has to offer. Cindy, Schuyler, and Quincy Livingston
