We really liked this place. We actually live in Santa Barbara but our house got flooded so we were staying here and we loved it! -May 2007

Why the Owner Chose Santa Barbara
Our three Cottages are very charming inside and out(you might think you have arrived at 5 star B&B when approaching the property). The landscape area & neighborhood surrounding the three Cottages matches the Cottages them selves. The San Roque area neighborhood is a very desirable area for locals to purchase Real Estate because of its family oriented life style and sought after school district. Also its proximity to beaches , shopping and Wine Country. We invested here because of all of these reasons.
