This house was perfect! Exactly as described, if not better! The hostess was terrific! We felt like guests in her home vs tenants. We have a family of 4 and couldn’t have been more comfortable. My kid’s grandparents happen to be headed thru the area, during our stay and joined us for a couple of nights. There was still plenty of space and did not feel like we were on top of each other. The location was ideal! So close to to the beaches and State St, but far enough away not to be bothered by that congestion. We loved SB and this home! Can’t wait to come back!

Thanks for the kind words, Travis! We loved hosting you. You were the perfect guests! We would love to host you again in the future.
The house was charming, exactly as pictured, and our hosts were incredibly responsive to all inquiries we had. We loved our stay! They left us a wonderful welcome basket to enjoy, which we really appreciated. We stayed during a heat wave, which is rare for Santa Barbara, so no central AC made it a bit challenging to hang in the house during the day, but it was hot everywhere! Awesome backyard space to hang and enjoy the fire pit on cool nights! Highly recommend!
We had a great stay at Jessica's Upper East home. Jessica was very responsive and helpful with the requests that we had. They left us an amazing basket of goodies and the house was well appointed. Our kids loved the books and piano and we enjoyed sitting outside and being so close to downtown and the Mission Rose Garden!
