The Studio was just as described. Photos are accurate. Loved the location. The Elings park is quite a bonus - many opportunities for walking and easy hikes. The beach is close enough for walking or a quick drive. The Studio is close to everything we were interested in. Santa Barbara is also a very short drive (35 minutes - 40 minutes) to Solvang and Santa Ynez. We made two trips up to the wine country. Denise and Sheridan are happy to answer questions regarding the area. We appreciated the local market tip - Lazy Acres. We shopped there daily for our breakfast and dinner needs - prices excellent and deli choices perfect. We spent a week and each day was filled with various activities. Tour the Santa Barbara Courthouse!! We rode bikes along the Coast Route as well as the State Street Route to the Courthouse. Hendry Beach and the Douglas Family Preserve are beautiful. We are 55+, enjoy hiking/biking, and found this rental a perfect fit for our budget. Thanks Denise and Sheridan - Do not be surprised if we make a return to your Studio in the future.Recommended for: Age 55+.
Owner response: Oh what a lovely review thanks so much we loved having you, and feel great when we have guests who enjoy SB as much as we do. Please do come back, we do have repeat visitors and you are more than welcome back! Cheers Denise and Sheridan

I arrived at Denise and Sheridan's amazing hideaway after a 5 hour stressful drive from San Diego. The room was gorgeous, and both Denise and Sheridan greeted me and showed me around the space while also giving me an overview of the neighborhood, parking, and good places to hike nearby. Sheridan handed me a map that became invaluable within the first five minutes. I was able to unpack, run to a nearby grocery store (less than a 5 min drive away) and settle in with a good movie on cable before I called it a night. The house is close enough to anything you could need: State Street is a short drive, as is a grocery store, laundromat, gas station, and plenty of parks for great morning/evening walks. One of my favorite aspects of my stay was that their house is in a real neighborhood; I felt like I was coming home every night, and the sounds at night are the sounds of a neighborhood and not busy highways/downtown traffic as can be the case with hotels. As far as the amenities go, the fridge and microwave were perfect for my needs. I loved having the option of "eating in" and the ability to brew coffee in the morning. The bed is *amazing*. Super comfortable, huge fluffy pillows and a great down comforter. The wardrobe held all of my clothes and there was a rod to hang up my dresses. The tv has every channel imaginable. There's a basket in the room of pamphlets, sights to see, great restaurants and tourist attractions left by Denise/Sheridan and other guests. There's also a journal for guests to write in where I got some great recommendations on places to eat. I would highly recommend this space if you're visiting Santa Barbara for a weekend, a week, or an extended stay. It's homey, welcoming, comfortable, convenient, and well-equipped! Very glad that Denise and Sheridan have opened up this space for us to enjoy.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Wow you should be a writer! the best review ever thanks so much, I am glad you came and enjoyed, and that you will be back! Irish gal, we are delighted that you chose our rental and that you will be seeing us again! warmest regards, Denise and Sheridan

My dog, Shelly, and I enjoyed our two week stay in this lovely studio. It is located in a quiet residental canyon. It is close to downtown Santa Barbara's State Street and also the beach and parks. Denise and Sheridan are gracious and very helpful. Sheridan suggested the Botanical Garden - it is beautiful and I enjoyed it, especially the Redwood Section. Wonderful place to escape the AZ summer heat!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, pet owners, girls getaway.
Owner response: Sheridan and I enjoyed Shelly and yourself! please come back again to stay and we will give you more ideas for things to do, it is a long list of museums, wineries, nature hikes, parks and restaurants. Not bad Shopping either! We have many festivals here, including the international Film festival, so keep an eye on the Santa Barbara Independent Newspaper website for upcoming events and reserve another 2 weeks!

This was just a lovely place to spend a week. I was there with my fiancee, and we didn't have a car. It is still really easy to get around though. A small walk down to a bus stop, or just a nice morning walk all the way down to the heart of Santa Barbara. The bed is amazing, and it is really great to have this little place in the backyard where we could sit out at night and share a bottle of wine. The owners are really friendly and helpful. Would love to come back.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: We are so glad that you got to come to visit us in Santa Barbara! The Bed is wonderful, and we like to spoil and surprise our guests with the excellent artwork, and special touches like nice sheets, and over 900 channels, so yes live like a queen and spend only a little bit! please do come back and send your friends from Norway! Cheers, Denise and Sheridan

We very much enjoyed our stay in this guest room. The accommodations were comfortable and private, the hosts very gracious and the location was extremely pretty with a major park (Elings) within walking distance. The street is an oak-covered canyon tucked away in a very quiet community. We found the location to be very convenient, with relatively quick access to the Mesa shopping areas as well as the Mission & State areas.Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Hello John, we really are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us! We love it here, and so we love to share it with our guests. Any time you want to stay near the ocean and get away from the heat, come and stay with us in cozy Santa Barbara. Thanks Denise and Sheridan

We chose this Santa Barbara studio as the HQ for our August flight from the monsoons of AZ - couldn't have been more pleased! Clean and cozy, located in a quiet neighborhood minutes from the ocean. Sheridan and Denise are friendly, gracious hosts who are never far away from an email or phone call. We especially enjoyed Hendry's Beach and the Boathouse restaurant. Also had great meals at the Savoy, Max's, Mesa cafe, Harry's, and Brophy Bros. Took two trips to the Santa Ynez Valley for wine tasting - beautiful countryside along Hwy. 154. Fortunate to see both the sailboat races and an aquathon at the harbor area. Also did the State St. experience and a visit to the Mission. Would recommend this property for a couple or single person wanting to explore the Santa Barbara area, especially if you are escaping the summer Arizona heat! Hope to return sometime down the road. Tom & Deb Green Valley, AZRecommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thanks so very much for enjoying our place, we loved having you and please do come back, Tom and Deb! Denise and Sheridan

I had a wonderful time staying at Denise & Sheridan's-- the house is in a charming neighborhood, has lots of character, and is very convenient for getting downtown. I loved the quirky ambiance of the room, and it had everything I needed, from cable tv to a fridge, microwave, and coffeemaker. The room came equipped with lots of magazines about Santa Barbara and the surrounding area, so it was easy to learn about things to do in my down time. The bed was super comfortable and soft; I would definitely stay here again on another trip to Santa Barbara! Thanks for a lovely visit!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.
Owner response: We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay, and we agree with you, that it is a special town, and special place to come and rest, work, and play. Come back soon@!

I loved this adorable little studio with French doors that opened up to my own private patio. Denise and Sheridan are just great, very helpful and friendly without being at all intrusive. They went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and enjoy my stay. It was just ideal for me and my dog with the beautiful dog park at the top of the street, and the fabulous dog friendly beach so close (where I spent most of my time). I can't wait to return! Thanks so much Denise and Sheridan for being such gracious hosts. See you again soon.Recommended for: Age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2000
About the owner: I have been in interior design of commercial spaces for 26 years, I live with my husband Sheridan who is an master arborist here in SB, and we enjoy fishing, camping, and gardening together, plus the outdoors and travel. We have recently upgraded our home and rental with artistic mosaic Tile work, by an artist on our block. We enjoy our neighbors and our neighborhood which is close to town, yet a quiet canyon that has lots of trees. We aim to please and my husband and I will help you design and find whatever activities will make your stay more fun or romantic! We want you to have a fabulous time, and tell all of your friends about us, and want to come back.
Why the Owner Chose The Mesa (Beach Area):
We love the small dead end canyon we live in called Valerio Canyon, and have regular street parties. The entrance to a 100 acre park with 360 degree views of the ocean and city is spectacular, and very close by. Town is close, the beach is a 10 minute drive if that, we feel we have it all, the mountain views, hiking, sailing, surfing, biking, wine tasting, and a small town feel with plenty of culture.
The Unique Benefits at this Studio:
The benefits are being close to nature and to town both. You can see an opera, or live music concert most weekends, and yet feel very close to nature on a fern studded path in the mountains or on an uncrowded beach. If you like to shop for art, we have the artwalk every weekend along the ocean front, and many world famous restaurants in all price catagories. Go Romance for the weekend, and for $15 I will have a dozen red roses in your room when you arrive, or for $12 a bottle of chilling champage. Get creative, how about rose petals on the bed, or local wines and cheeses stocked in your refrigerator when you arrive, just let me know how I can make your trip special, and we will make it happen!
