We had beautiful weather and gorgeous views from our little patio. Our host was amazing, so friendly and helpful. We had everything we needed including a friendly dog. Would highly recommend.
Lovely property. Great quiet place to relax after exploring Santa Barbara, Carp and Solvang. Host was great! And bonus vacation dog. Would stay with them again!
Just the type of place I needed. Comfortable with small extras ( I appreciated seeing the fan and space heater). Very clean. Great wifi.
It’s a bit hidden which makes it nice and quiet. It’s not far from main roads and the host provides excellent directions. She was very responsive to my questions prior to the trip.
I hope to stay there again.
This property was perfect for my stay to attend a weekend art retreat. It was a just what I needed. A clean, quite, and private room. Also comes with a resident yard dog that is very cute.
Chris was a great host, responsive and helpful. The room was exactly as advertised and it was clear that the hosts have put a lot of thought into making these rooms very comfortable and convenient for clients. Their pet husky was a joy to give belly rubs to!
Wonderful location away from noisy downtown but convenient to get there, seemed like 15 minutes to everywhere. Truly peaceful setting in the property's garden. Only ate breakfasts in the room or on the patio but unit really well equipped for that purpose with coffee maker, tea kettle, refrigerator, etc.
My wife and I were in the Santa Barbara area to visit my oldest child. All we needed was a place to lay our heads at night. We were very pleased with our accommodations. The room was very neat and clean, everything seemed very well taken care of. Communication with the property owner was EXCELLENT.
It is a smaller Apartment but pretty luxurious. The room has everything you need for a stay, the bed is 1,40 meters with a soft mattress and the shower is big in a very nice bathroom. The surroundings are also amazing.
But the best are Chris and Lacey. Chris is the very friendly host and Lacey is the gorgeous Husky lady and caretaker :-)
We loved it here. Book it if you are alone or two-you will not regret it. Thanks a lot!
We were in property #2.
My only observation is that the place was TINY. Just a bathroom and one small bedroom (which included a rudimentary kitchen corner and a desk and chair). There was hardly any room to open a second suitcase. Maybe I should have read the description more carefully.
Other than that, the place was neat and clean. The bathroom recently redone.
The most beautiful aspect of the property was the shared garden. Just wonderful to sit outside and enjoy the lush plants, flowers and perfect grass. Also a nice view.
We liked our hosts a lot. They made us feel welcome and at home. Made friends with their dog Lacey!
Unless you need a place with more room or want to entertain some guests, this is the place to go. Great experience.
Property is beautiful. Chris (owner/mgr) was very helpful. Room on the small side but I knew that going in (no problem). Basically had what I needed. The smallest thing - needs cleaning under the bed. I'd stay there again!
Super easy directions led the two of us to the "Perfect Place" where we enjoyed peace and quiet for 4 nights. Plenty of space for two people to sleep, work at the desk area, hang out on our lanai type patio for morning coffee, a small area to make tea/coffee with a mini fridge, dishes and some treats (Thank you Chris!), a nice closet, tv and spacious bathroom with everything we needed. It was impeccably clean and looked liked everything was recently remodeled. Especially loved the high window in the shower where you could see the beautiful greenery outside, made it seem like you were in Hawaii! We would highly recommend this place as it was a few short minutes to shopping, restaurants and dinning and in a perfect private area/neighborhood. And, we'd definitely stay here again!
Chris, the owner/hostess, has done a great job with this space. The finishes are beautiful and the ambiance welcoming. The surrounding gardens and view are wonderful. The main thing to be aware of is that it is quite small. The closet and bathroom are large, which is great, but the actual square footage is tiny. There is a small refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven and Keurig coffee maker so you will have no problem with a basic breakfast. There is also a small desk and a wall mounted TV. So everything you need is there and cleverly worked into the design. As long as you are aware of the space limitations, it's a great place to stay while visiting the area..
Very quiet and peaceful. Perfect place to stay. Chris is an amazing host. She’s very friendly and does an awesome job of providing everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Conveniently located close to UCSB. I would definitely recommend this place and plan to stay there again.
i was shown the location to park my car. then it was changed the next day, and again a third time. while trying to accommodate the owners wishes while parking in the "new" space, she humiliated me in front of her other guests!!! apparently, i was not pulling in to the parking spot correctly! if she had addressed the issue with concern and care i would have had no problem. however, she did not. how she handled the situation was unacceptable, at best.
From start to finish, our stay was perfect. The owner sent us updates before we arrived. The process for check in and check out was very easy. Everything in the unit was in great condition. I would definitely return if we go back to the Santa Barbara area.
