Wonderful Location &very well equipped house

We rented this historical Spanish Colonial house for the month of January and enjoyed the ambiance of an architectural gem. Our reception was impersonal, however, due to the host being out of the country. Stephen was available via email and he was able from afar to troubleshoot our problems adequately. We both enjoy cooking and the kitchen was well equipped. Being able to pick fresh citrus was a plus. The house is filled with art including Stephen’s wonderful watercolours. The Great room was gorgeous and TV cable system there worked perfectly. Close proximity to downtown or beach. Well maintained.

Mission garden stay

This beautiful home was the perfect setup for our three generations staycation in Santa Barbra, directly across from the park where we enjoyed morning yoga and evening picnics. The home is close to beautiful hiking trails, highly recommend rattle snake canyon. (note, it's a hard hike) Morning walks to coffee shops on State street (dune coffee), wine and food in the Funk zone. The photos don't do the home justice, large rooms and modern kitchen with a cute courtyard. Stephen was very accommodating, we throughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back again.

Our Stay at Stephen's Home (Rose Garden/Mission Santa Barbara)

My Grandmother, Mother and I recently stayed at this property while we were in Santa Barbara visiting family in Montecito. Because we were in town for over a month, we decided to search for a home rather than stay at a hotel. We found a few available properties that met our criteria. However, we had trouble reserving a property that could check us in on short notice, given the length of the stay we required. After reading the reviews for Stephen's home, it was apparent that Stephen and his home consistently impressed their guests - so we booked it! The home itself was cozy, while also providing ample space for groups/families, plus a large private backyard (and lots of fruit trees!). It is beautifully decorated, and was very clean (Stephen also arranged for housekeepers/cleaners to come by multiple times throughout our stay). Stephen checked in with us multiple times to make sure that everything was going smoothly during our stay, and was timely in his responses to any questions that did come up. We truly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful home, and would definitely come back. Thanks again Stephen!
