The Blue Door Bungalow was fantastic. We were in a very nice neighborhood which was close in proximity to nearby restaurants, hiking paths and to Santa Barbara. My adult daughter and I stayed after driving from LA. The Bungalow is extremely well appointed, clean and comfortable. Surrounding neighborhood was super quiet, and made for great sleeping - in addition to the very comfortable bed. So nice to have some coffee and ice upon arrival. There are beach chairs to use as well as an outdoor shower, which was great.We had a very enjoyable comfortable stay in the Bungalow. Would 100% rent again when next in the area. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect Getaway

This is a beautiful one bedroom cottage on a very quite street. It is clear the owners spent a great deal of time and money on updating the unit. The unit also offers a quaint patio in the front and rear of the property. An easy walk to the upper village where you will find the RH Firehouse Grill as as well as a local grocery store and deli. I also suggest Tre Luna and Lucky's for dining in the lower village. But make your reservations early. Butterfly Beach is a short drive and one of the most beautiful beaches anywhere. You should plan taking a walk on the beach although you should do so at low tide.

Short Getaway

My husband and I stayed in the cottage for four nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cottage was just lovely. It was just as described, well appointed, clean, cozy, and private. The location was great - close to great shops and restaurants and the beach. Parking was a breeze. And communication with Pat was awesome. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Adorable bungalow with amazing amenities!

I was just entranced by the sweet cottage. It was very private with its own front and back courtyards. The place was incredibly spacious and so well appointed. It had everything we needed from a coffee maker with pods and cream in the fridge to shampoos etc in the shower. And a bonus outdoor shower which was a treat. We had great communication with the owner and cannot wait to stay again.

We had such a nice time here and were so happy with this bungalow. The perfect size for two. A quaint patio courtyard that was perfect for appetizers and a bottle of wine. Super clean and nicely appointed. Can't say enough good things about it.

Even better than the pictures

This was a beautiful cottage in an even more beautiful neighborhood. The pictures don’t quite do it justice. The front porch/patio is beautiful and private as is the back patio right off of the bedroom. We would definitely stay here again, in fact we’d check first to see if this place was open. If you are thinking of staying in Santa Barbara, Montecito is much better and very close to Santa Barbara. Quieter, still has great restaurants and everything is amazing to look at.
