This is a lovely place to stay with a charming garden. The rooms are quaintly decorated with bright colors that make you feel like you are in Provence. The hostess is very helpful and communicative. Keep in mind that if you want to use the pool, there is an extra charge to heat the pool.

wonderful location. Everything close by. Gardens A. Birdwatching A. Pool looks inviting but did not use.Overall a good value with the exception of cleanliness :-(
As described and pictured. Host is thoughtful and communicative. Location is vey near beach access and an upland natural area preserve, walkable to grocery store and restaurants, and ann easy drive to downtown SB. Clean, comfortable, quiet. Lovely neighborhood for walks with friendly residents. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
Clean, quiet, quaint, comfortable, in a lovely residential setting. The gardens were a joy, as were the birds. We walked several times each day down to the beach. The two bed, two bath offered an excellent set up for our mother daughter vacation. Mary communicated promptly and made our stay welcoming. We will be back!!! This is a hidden treasure!
Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and the location was central and very cute, plus a short walk from the Mesa Lane stairs! Thanks so much, we would stay again in the future!
Second time staying here and it was just as amazing as the first! Great location, great amenities. If it’s just 2 of you, it’s perfect. The garden is gorgeous! The hosts are super sweet and give you your privacy. I highly recommend this place.
This property was perfect for our short stay to Santa Barbara. The location is amazing, just steps away from the beach. The gardens surrounding the property are wonderful. Very clean and the bed was very comfy. Mary was very easy to contact if we needed anything.
This 2 bedroom guest house was perfect for out weekend get away. Mary was an excellent host and gave us great recommendations for local sights. We would stay again if we came back.
Wonderful cottage feel, two rooms each with their own bathroom and desks. Larger room has garden view and fold out couch/bed for that relaxing living room feel. And you couldn’t ask for better location near Mesa steps quick access to everything.
The property was very cute and a very good size for the money. My only comment is if you have large heavy luggage on rollers, it was very difficult to get your luggage in the room because of the walkways obstructions.
The cottage was just perfect for our stay. The location is great! We enjoyed the beaches and walks in the general area but were also close enough to the main part of town to enjoy it as well.
This is great little 2 bedroom in a very nice neighborhood. Beautiful gardens in front and back. The owners are very helpful, yet respectful of renter’s privacy. I have stayed here twice & hope to stay again!
Perfect location in a beautiful and peaceful neighborhood and a short walk to stairs that lead to the beach. It's also an easy walk to Cliff Drive that leads to the stunning waterfront offering just about everything you need with gorgeous parks along the way.Mary is the perfect host and was available immediately for questions after we arrived. She also provided hiking poles which we used every day as we explored the trails above Santa Barbara and Montecito. We will be back!
This was our second time staying here in just a couple of months. Lovely and comfortable place in a great part of town. Only a few steps from beautiful beach views and beach access. We won't hesitate to stay here again when we are back in town. Thanks!
Loved our stay in this bright place overlooking the garden
With skylights in both of the main rooms and a bathroom, this place was bright and cheerful. We looked out over the garden, which we enjoyed. Also, the neighborhood was lovely. Our host was friendly and easy to communicate with. We would love to stay here again!
Very nice place with great ocean views just a short walk away. Owner is easy to deal and communicate with. All kitchen and bathroom accommodations are there. Would use again.
Property is as pictured. Mary and her husband were friendly and responsive. The neighborhood is residential and pretty peaceful.
