Perfect place for poolside relaxation

We chose this property as it had a lovely pool, 4 bedrooms and was close to the SB Woman’s Club, the location of a family wedding. The rental process was very simple, communication was great, and it was wonderful to be able to relax and enjoy the sunny days!

Lovely Retreat for Wedding Week

This property was the perfect escape for our daughter’s wedding week. Everything was amazing. The grounds and pool were spacious and relaxing. The beautiful fruit trees were an added bonus. Wendy and Chick were the most gracious hosts and the home had everything we needed. Plus, the beds were beyond comfortable. An amazing getaway to enjoy Santa Barbara.

Everything about Poolside exceeded expectations. It’s a very special place. Perfect for an extended family vacation. Every amenity imaginable in a serene setting.

Sanctuary in Santa Barbara

This home is so lovingly cared for. We were instantly comfortable and drawn to the outdoor spaces and pool! Everything was clean and easy to figure out. This was a sanctuary for us during a very difficult time and we felt so recharged after just a few days here! Very close to beautiful scenic local culture and activities. Especially great for kids! We had a wonderful time!

Heidi, Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. We were so pleased that the house could be a sanctuary to provide some respite from the fires in Los Angeles. I am so glad the kids enjoyed the pool and the yard! Your family was a pleasure to host and communicate with and thanks for leaving the house so nice. All the best to you all!

Great for families!

We came to this house for a quick weekend from LA with another family. The 8 of us were very happy. The kitchen had everything you needed and then some. The pool was delightful. Aside from the record breaking heatwave that weekend it was a success and we would come back.

Perfect retreat

We had a wonderful stay in Mission Canyon. The house is very spacious, unique and cozy. There is everything you might need. The garden is gorgeous with plenty of fruit to enjoy. The pool/spa is balmy, you don't even want to leave the house. It is a perfect retreat, secluded but close to everything. Thank you Wendy and Chuck, we would come back in a heartbeat.
