The Chapala Cottage was absolutely PERFECT for us! Not only did it contain abundant amenities, lots of room, super comfortable bed, linens and towels, but Rachael was an extremely responsive host. Super convenient location as State Street, with all it's local vibes and excellent food and shopping choices, was only a few blocks away.
We stayed at this property for a cousin's wedding in Santa Barbara. The cottage is well-appointed and our host was attentive and checked in to see whether we needed anything. One note is that if you are traveling with anyone who has mobility issues, the tub has a very high side and it may be difficult to get in and out of the shower. Lovely location and nice amenities. Would definitely stay here again.
We had a great time staying at Rachael's house. She was extremely communicative, the check-in/out process was easy and the hot tub, grill and bikes were awesome perks. Location of the house was great, accessible to downtown/the funk zone via a short uber or bike ride. The house did get a little warm during the day without AC but it wasn't too bad! Would def recommend.
Great spot in SB, easy to get around to all the places you want to see. The host is awesome, very communicative and made sure the stay went off without a hitch. She even came to drop off bikes that we used for the whole weekend! Just stay here you will not regret it.

Why they chose this property
I've loved this property for over 15 years...it's always been one of my all time favorites in Santa Barbara. Finally, I got the opportunity to purchase it and now try and make it my guests' home away from home.
What makes this property unique
Close to downtown and may restaurants several blocks from it. Charming Spanish style. It's almost 100 years old, but been almost completely remodeled but kept all the charm. Has all the amenities, washer/dryer, modern kitchen, outdoor private spa, dual flush toilet, comfortable beds.
