Great little Cottage, great location… Walking distance from the funk zone, which has lots of cute shops at restaurants. Close to the beach. Quiet, safe and well appointed. I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for your kind words on Juniper Cottage! We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us at Paradise Retreats. We hope to host you again soon!
The host was always available. The house was well stocked and the beds were extremely comfortable. The location was the best part of our stay. We were able to walk everywhere. I would highly recommend this home and we will surely be coming back.
We loved this place! Within walking distance to everything, but still quiet. Everything was clean and cozy, perfect for a getaway. Would love to stay here again!

So happy to hear you had a great time and enjoyed Juniper Cottage. Thank you for being our guest and we would love to host you again. Sincerely, Paradise Retreats
Great location!!! We rented bikes for a few days and biked everywhere (we were able to store them in the garage) The house was perfect for my family while we were in Santa Barbara for a wedding. It had everything we needed and then some. The grounds were awesome- even a lemon tree!
We enjoyed a long 4 day weekend in Santa Barbara … with this property adding to the experience. Lovely home located near the beach, restaurants and shopping. Location is perfect for those who enjoy walking. Home was well supplied … we canceled two dinner reservations because we enjoyed being in the home so much that we did not want to leave. It is clean, quiet, well appointed and comfortable. And we really appreciate that we were able to bring our miniature schnauzer. We will return again later this year.
Well maintained and equipped house very close to State St, harbor, and Leadbetter Beach. Plenty of room for a family of 4 and would gladly stay at this house again on our next trip.

We had such a wonderful weekend at the Juniper Cottage! The location is perfect for walking down to the beach, to State street for shopping and to the harbor! The home is lovely, had all the items we needed and we loved the front area with the table. Would definitely stay here again!

My family and I loved the Juniper cottage for my birthday weekend! All ages enjoyed the perfect location and it was a quick walk to the train station. The kitchen was so well-stocked and so organized! We would definitely stay here again!
This house was exactly as advertised. It is in a perfect location, with easy walking access to the beach and downtown shops and restaurants. It is well furnished and provided everything we needed.
Clean, spacious, great location. Well maintained and stocked home. Great indoor and outdoor spaces, very peaceful.

We're thrilled you ladies loved Juniper Cottage and it's convenient location! Thank you for the 5 stars! We hope to host you again. Sincerely, Paradise Retreats
Great location! We loved waking to State Street, restaurants, Funk Zone, Beaches. House is dated but clean. Beds not comfortable. Bathrooms very tight. It’s a nice spot for a weekend.
Lovely home in West Beach area within easy walking distance of fun spots in Santa Barbara: beach, wharf, waterfront, restaurants, Funk Zone, etc. Place is very well equipped and maintained with lovely patio and deck. We made good use of both. Definitely recommend staying here.
We loved our long weekend stay at Juniper Cottage. The place itself is very well maintained and has everything and more for an extended visit. And, it’s so quiet! Although it is merely steps to the beach, the neighborhood is residential and family friendly. We will definitely be back!
