Impeccably remodeled historic house in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara .
Redone faithfully, in the 1920's tradition, the house is virtually new, with all new walls, wood floors, fixtures and appliances. The house is small (600sq.ft.) and intimate yet retains its rich historic flavor and is just 2 blocks from State St., one block from the court house and walking distance to a wide variety of downtown shops and restaurants.
You are steps away from the amazing SB Court House and State Street, but just far enough to escape the noise when desired. Very Quaint, Very Central, Very New, & Constructed With All Of The Finest Craftsman Touches. A car is not necessarily needed as there are ample choices in dining and Ralph's grocery store is 5 blocks away.
We’re only two blocks from State Street and the Museum of Art and the newly rebuilt Granada Theater. The beach is two miles by car or bicycle. It’s about 1.5 miles to Santa Barbara Mission and Rose Garden. Pristine Montecito, just 10 minutes from downtown Santa Barbara. Beauty, nature, hiking, beaches, restaurants, shopping, nightlife...Spend an afternoon in Solvang, a Danish town just 40 minutes away, visit the many wineries in the Santa Ynez Valley on a wine tasting tour, rent bicycles and ride along the Santa Barbara shoreline, hike, lay on one of the many serene beautiful beaches, shop on State Street in Santa Barbara, visit the jumping nightlife or just sit on the quaint flagstone patio with a book after a long walk up a safe and convenient street from the cottage's door. All of this is in one of the most sought after vacation towns and you will be as central as you want to be!
Shuttle for the beach or pier is 2 blocks away. 25cents each way per person. Seniors ride for free!

Cottage was incredible! There were four of us, and we all had such a great time! I would recommend bringing your own knives, because the ones provided were not very sharp, but overall, we had a great experience and look forward to coming back!Did you find this review helpful?

I rented this cottage with my mom and boyfriend for my brothers's wedding in SB. The location is so close to the court house and downtown, it made our downtime really easy. Having access to wifi and a parking pass made the stay very convenient. The house is incredibly quiet, surrounding cottages are very quiet too, makes for great sleeping. Great use of space in a small house. Santa Barbara and the surrounding hills are beautiful.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Just returned to cold and snowy Chicago from a long weekend in Santa Barbara with my sister. This charming home was perfect for us -- it is beautifully updated, well maintained and amazingly clean. The location is AWESOME...walking distance to everything State St. has to offer, a little longer walk to the Wharf, and just a short drive to the Santa Ynez Valley for wine tasting or cute coastal towns like Summerland. We loved our time in Santa Barbara and we were very comfortable coming home at night to a great sleep in this comfy home. Thank you Tom and Sasha for making our stay so enjoyable.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This is an adorable little cottage perfect for our time in Santa Barbara. We felt it was a PERFECT location for all the places we needed to be around our son's wedding in Santa Barbara. We ate at several restaurants, did lots of walking on State Street, found the Farmer's Market, took the trolley to Stearns Wharf and beach areas, and visited the top of the courthouse all without needing a car. Since we did have a car the parking permit that came with the rental was a tremendous help! Thank you for letting us use your darling cottage...you were extremely helpful and easy to work with.Recommended for: Families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, girls getaway.

We recently stayed at this Downtown Santa Barbara Cottage, and were so pleased with it! If anything, it is even more lovely than the pictures on the site show. I estimate that the cottage is about 80 years old, but has been completely redone within the last few years. The bed is the most comfortable of any that we have found in a rental. The kitchen was is compact, but has a gas stove, refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a disposal which created such a functional room. The location is just great, and is within 2 or 3 blocks of State Street, which is the heart of a very fun, trendy Downtown area. The architecture in the area is stunning, and there are movies, shopping, and so many restaurants within walking distance. What fun in our car-driven world!Did you find this review helpful?

This was my first time in Santa Barbara. The property was just as pictured in the listing. Great little cottage for our group of 4. The owner is great, and met us at the property, even though our flight had been 4-5 hours delayed. We had a rental car, but everything we wanted to see was in walking distance. The cottage was clean and well maintained. I would certainly recommend this cottage to a friend or relative planning to stay in Santa Barbara. Loved it.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, girls getaway.

This little cottage, just a couple blocks from the heart of downtown, was perfect for our needs. Beautifully renovated, with all the delight and charm of old Santa Barbara, it was also very clean, well furnished and supplied. And even though close to downtown, it was quiet and situated in a private location. To top it all off, the property manager couldn't have been more gracious and accommodating for all our needs. I hope to return for a stay when I am next in Santa Barbara.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, girls getaway.
