This is the second time we have stayed here. It's an older building, but we love the style. It's quiet and in a great location close to everything. We rented bikes and biked everywhere. Beds were comfortable. We'll be back!

The property was just as described, perfect! Clean, comfy, and spacious. The location is perfect, easy walking distance to both state street shopping, the beach, and the pier. Beds were super comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. We used the BBQ twice. The AC was also much appreciated as it was hot the days we were there. Thank you, we will definitely be back.

This is my second stay at this property and I can’t speak more highly about it. The location is incredible - it’s literally blocks from the beach, State Street shopping and restaurants, the Amtrak train station, the super cool Funk Zone and so much more. The home is quintessential classic Santa Barbara - lovely classic features with modern touches. And don’t get me started on how comfortable the beds are! We can’t wait to come back and enjoy this beautiful space in this beautiful city.

It was a perfect place for our 60th wedding anniversary, especially because we could also rent the lower floor apartment for our family members. The house is having an authentic atmosphere and is comfortably located very close to beach, peer and harbor. The house does need some window repair though, but that was a minor inconvenience since the weather was fine. Nice cooling fans in the bedrooms.

About the host

Hosted by Ian Anderson

Host profile image
This recently updated home has been a family treasure since my grandparents purchased it nearly 50 years ago.

Why they chose this property

We grew up on California's central coast, and now make Santa Barbara our home. It is a wonderful place to live and we feel like we're vacationing in our own home town. This home is central to the Santa Ynez wine country, and just 90 minutes from Los Angeles.
