Beautiful house

This is such a pretty house equipped with everything you could need for your stay, particularly appreciated the very generous welcome basket of goodies which was left for us when we arrived, just what you need after a long journey. Comfy beds and the property is nice and close to restaurants and shops so a handy location. Communication with the host was excellent.

Family Holiday in Santa Barbara

Lovingly maintained quintessential cottage in the heart of Santa Barbara, where you can walk to pretty much any restaurant or attraction. At first, you may notice the house is across an auto mechanic shop, but we found the days and nights quite, except for the occasional dog barking next door. For very light sleepers, bring ear plugs. However, the beds were very comfortable. The master bathroom was recently renovated and was not only gorgeous but spacious and functional. Josef was very responsive and made our stay very pleasant. The kitchen is a chef's dream with a large, airy dining area. Very cozy and cute patio with gas fireplace and a monster stainless steel BBQ! Parking pass is provided for a private lot across the street (very convenient, well-lit and felt safe). Note there is no A/C (only fans and heater), but we visited during the Spring (so no need for A/C). We would definitely stay here again for an unique and memorable in-town Santa Barbara experience. Thank you Josef!!

Superior Wedding Weekend

We picked this property to be close to the wedding venue (2 blocks away). We reached out to the property owner, who was very responsive and accommodating to our needs. The property is much bigger than it looks from the outside with 2 masters a gourmet kitchen, and a large living room. It was perfect.

Near Everything, beautifully appointed

Not only was this home near everything in downtown, but it contained everything you could possibly want in a short term rental. The nearest full grocery is on the next block, downtown is a few blocks away with a myriad of restaurants, tours start points, and historical sites (SB taco tour, do it!). The beach/wharf is a longer walk, but you can always drive to those if you want (but may not wish to be driving after visiting the many very walkable restaurants and tasting rooms on State St). The kitchen is a foodie dream with every needed implement and wonderful cooking spaces. If we had a longer stay (which is likely in the cards for the future) I'd have loved to take greater advantage of this and the outdoor space (with grill) that we just didn't fit in this time.

Wonderful - Highly Recommend

Very comfortable, very clean, well-furnished, and tastefully decorated. (Photos are accurate.) Convenient to State Street, restaurants, shops, grocery store, and beach. Two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms make this a perfect house for two couples. Josef was a wonderful host. Upon our arrival was a wonderful welcome basket which was very nice and thoughtful! Josef was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to questions. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Josef.

Santa Barbara getaway

Fantastic place!! The house was clean, well appointed with everything we needed and in a great location. Josef was an excellent host, easy to get ahold of and friendly. He gave an early checkin without us even asking. I would highly recommend this place and will use it again if I’m in Santa Barbara.

Disliked: Communication

Convenient, Comfortable, Chef’s Kitchen!

Communication rated at 2 stars as we did have some difficulties: our first two attempts to book the property expired but once we messaged the host he confirmed the booking; we had to message the host to receive check-in instructions as they weren’t sent out automatically. Once at the property, the host responded promptly to texts related to fans and cooling down the house (kitchen area really warms up with the afternoon sun so open windows to create a cross-breeze!). The house is well-equipped and super-comfortable for a group of 4 adults. It’s close to State Street, a Ralph’s grocery store (we prepared several meals and enjoyed the flat-top!), and a short-ish walk to the beach. Glad we persisted and were able to book this home-away-from-home and would stay here again if we were to return to Santa Barbara!

Lovely property, great location

We loved our stay. We visited with our adult son, so the two bedrooms both with en-suite bathrooms were perfect! The house is lovely, clean, modern and well appointed in great location. Short walk to downtown. Check in and out was easy. Convenient parking in lot across the road. We enjoyed the barbecue and fire pit. Would love to go back. Highly recommend!
