We had a really nice Memorial Day weekend stay in this beautiful Santa Barbara cottage! It was very quiet and relaxing (if you stay during the week in 2014, you may want to ask if the nearby construction is complete). Although the cottage was on the same property as the 'main house', it felt very private and was secluded by trees and plants. The two bedrooms (one with a view towards the ocean) and two full baths were very nice to have. The kitchen, tho' small, was very nice and well stocked with everything we needed. The stackable washer/dryer were a nice bonus--we didn't anticipate using them, but ended up having to wash some things during our stay. The living room sat 4 comfortably, had a nice flat panel TV and iPod/iPhone dock. The couch was a pull-out, but we didn't use it. We loved keeping the large french doors open to the beautiful deck, overlooking town with an ocean view. (SB faces south, so no sunsets over the water in the summer.) We enjoyed a few meals and glasses of wine on the large deck, and even used the gas grill one night after a long day of sea/cave kayaking at the Channel Islands (AWESOME tour!). The rental process was easy and the damage deposit refunded promptly. I highly recommend this vacation cottage and I wouldn't hesitate to go back in the future!
