Great location and wonderful and clean home

We had an amazing vacation staying at this home. The host was amazing and very attentive to anything we needed. Home was clean and in a great neighborhood. We will definitely be coming back and staying here in the future. I would highly recommend this place especially if you have dogs, they have a cute backyard for the dogs to run around and an awesome hot tub.

Santa Barbara sanctuary

We enjoyed this beautiful home up near Goleta. The location was off the beaten track, so time in the beautiful backyard was very relaxing & pet friendly, so our dog enjoyed the space as well. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking & was easy to work in. Beds were comfortable & the spa was very private & relaxing!

A Peaceful and Convenient Getaway Close to Nature and Attractions

My wife and I recently stayed at this serene garden home in Santa Barbara over the Labor Day weekend, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The location is perfect, offering both tranquility and proximity to the beach and local attractions. Being only 3 minutes from the beach and surrounded by a lush garden made for an ideal escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. The property itself is spacious, with a beautifully maintained private yard that provides a sense of seclusion. We especially loved the hot tub after a day of exploring nearby Goleta Beach and the Mission Santa Barbara. The yard is also fenced, which made it feel even more private, and as dog owners, we appreciated the pet-friendly nature of the property. Inside, the home is well-equipped with everything you might need. The kitchen had all the amenities, making it easy for us to cook meals when we wanted. The free Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, which is always a plus, especially when you’re looking to stay connected. The house has two comfortable bedrooms, perfect for small groups or families. Both bathrooms were clean and stocked with essentials, making our stay that much more comfortable. We also appreciated how close the home was to local restaurants and conveniences. If you’re looking for a peaceful and well-located property in Santa Barbara with easy access to nature, beaches, and local attractions, this is the place to stay. We’ll definitely be back for another relaxing weekend soon!

About the host

Host profile image
Based in Santa Barbara, we split our time between home and our rental in Mammoth Lakes. We’re passionate about the outdoors and enjoy everything from snow sports and hiking to beach days, often accompanied by our two dogs.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy the peace of our friendly neighborhood while still being conveniently located just 10 minutes from downtown and 7 minutes from the beach.

What makes this property unique

The outdoor living space seamlessly extends the indoors, offering the perfect setting for peaceful evenings under the stars—whether enjoying the hot tub or unwinding by the outdoor gas fireplace.
