This was our first time staying in the Santa Ynez valley. We typically stay near downtown Santa Barbara, but we'd been wanting to spend an entire weekend exploring the valley without the hassle of a long drive each morning/night. Casa Santa Rita was a perfect home base for us. Short drive from Buellton/Solvang, as well as Los Olivos and everywhere in between. It's located in a very peaceful / quiet neighborhood just outside of Buellton and close to the 101. You can park in the driveway, as well as the street so loading/unloading the car/luggage/etc is a breeze. There is a small backyard with some fruit trees. We ate breakfast out there every morning. The house is stocked with the basics – everything you'd need to fix lunch, dinner, etc. Overall, place was very clean, beds were comfortable, water pressure was good, Internet was fast, etc... Everything that you'd expect! Plus the comfort of a home vs. being stuck in a hotel room. I'd definitely stay here again.Recommended for: Sightseeing

The house was in excellent shape and ideally met the needs of 3 couples in town for a wedding. We appreciated the effort the owner had gone to leaving information about local restaurants. We were disappointed that while the advertized location of the house was Santa Ynez the actual location was Buellton.Recommended for: Age 55+
Owner response: Yes, the house is in Buellton, which is in the Santa Ynez Valley (it's a marking thing). I try to be clear on that point, by stating this at the beginning of all my quotes and inquiries. Good news is Buellton is becoming the hip place to be with the new wine making facility and Fig Mtn. Brewery.

Very nice house, but if lousy shower heads bum you out, think twice.

Super convenient house, large enough for 4+, and near lots of stuff. But all of us like a nice shower after a day out, and those shower heads need to be replaced! Also the master shower's hot/cold controls were frozen in place. Never used the kitchen, and barely touched the TV. Other than that - we really enjoyed the area and slept well.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, pet owners, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you for the heads up on the shower! We have taken care of that problem so thanks for letting us know. Santa Ynez water has lots of minerals so it can do a number to those shower heads with time.

This charming 3 bedroom is perfect for three couples, a family or girls weekend! It has a full kitchen with backyard grill and tons of entertainment in the living room. The bedrooms are clean and beds super comfortable!! Location-wise, it's near the Santa Rita wine trail and very easy to go wine-tasting from the house. And it's a short drive to Solvang and Los Olivos. Loved our stay and will definitely be returning!Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

We visited the area specifically for the Celebration of Harvest weekend. The house is located in a small quiet neighborhood. Great location to do your wine tasting and many excellent restaurants located nearby. We have rented through VRBO several times and this particular unit would rate high on our list. Many thanks and we will be renting this unit again when bringing along more family members.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We enjoyed the house for three nights during the Labor Day weekend. We were two families: 4 adults and 4 young children, and yet we felt that we had plenty of room - we never felt cramped. The location is very convenient - right off the 101 Freeway and just a minute from an Albertsons and the popular local restaurants; just a few miles from Solvang and the many wonderful wineries in the area. The beds are very comfortable - we slept quite well. Having the barbecue on the patio is great! We cooked dinner on it each night. The place was clean and well kept. We would definitely rent this place again the next time we're up that way.Recommended for: Families with young children

We stayed here with another couple on a wine tasting weekend, and fell in love with Casa Santa Rita. The house was clean, spacious and very affordable. Set in a quiet neighborhood, centrally-located to the entire valley - the ideal getaway. The owner was very friendly and helpful when it came to getting tips on great local wineries.Recommended for: Girls getaway, romantic getaway.

Just stayed the weekend at Casa Santa Rita. The husbands regretted the lack of cable TV (sports!), and the wives regretted the lack of a microwave & blender. That said, the house was in a convenient, central location, was well-maintained and the price was right!Owner response: We are a hardy breed in this part of the country! The toaster is an oven which works well for many applications. Sorry about the cable TV, it is one feature we do not have in an effort to remain affordable. We like to think limited TV encourages families to play the several games provided or walk to the park just 300 feet away!

We had a great time here! This cozy house is centrally located for wine tasting throughout the region. The house was clean, spacious, and well stocked with pantry necessities. I am looking forward to going back next month for a girls' weekend. I had no idea just how close Santa Ynez is to LA; this house could easily become a regular getaway location. The owners have a notebook with helpful winery maps and restaurant ideas. They also have some board games if you plan to stay in for the evening, but bring your own if you have a favorite. The fireplace was clean and worked well. The kitchen has plenty of counter space if you have more than one cook prepping a meal. I have already recommended this home to multiple friends.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We stayed here for a wine harvest weekend and had a fantastic time. The house is a great home for a family get together. It is very comfortable and relaxing. The house was very clean, the beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed. The location was in a quiet neighborhood and close to many restaurants. It was also a great location to have family staying in near by hotles over for dinner. The owners were very easy to work with and very friendly. We are looking forward to staying here again when we visit wine country in the future.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

Our family stayed here in the fall with some friends and had a fabulous time. Not only is the house clean, comfortable and really nice but a short drive from tasting rooms, restaurants, and activites that our kids were able to enjoy. We look foward to returning again this fall!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Wow, thank you! We have tried to create a clean, pleasant, and relaxing place to stay. We look forward to hosting your family again. SR
