The apartment/cottage was quite nice and the location is unbeatable-a short walk from the beach but off the main road and quiet.

Lovely getaway in SB

We were looking for a quiet, cozy spot for frequent trips to Santa Barbara to visit our daughter and son-in-law and were really pleased with Michelle's place. It is centrally located, super clean and has a lot of nice little touches. Perfect for two people for a short stay. We will be back!

Simply lovely place to stay. Great experience with Michele and Jeff from start to finish! From reservation process through the entire stay. They were available and friendly but also gave us our privacy. The design and furnishing of the place is really wonderful. It may be the nicest place we’ve stayed at - ever!

Excellent Stay in an Excellent Location

We really enjoyed how comfy, clean, and convenient to all in Santa Barbara this suite is! Located in a beautiful neighborhood, walkable to the beach, some restaurants and shops, this suite was the perfect home away from home for us - from breakfast on the patio to retiring at day’s end in the very comfy bed. Thank you, Michele and Jeff, for being such terrific and responsive hosts! We hope to have the opportunity to stay again.

Santa Barbara Surprise

I probably stay at at least a half dozen VRBOs a year including several in Santa Barbara and was totally wowed by Michelle’s charming cottage. I’m almost afraid to recommend it so highly as it may not be available when I want to head back down. I have no idea when it was renovated or furnished but it looked brand new to me. Everything worked perfectly and Michelle’s husband, a beekeeper, even popped in to give me some of their homemade honey.

Perfection in Santa Barbara

On arrival at the property, we were blown away at the quality of the apartment. Everything had been thought of by the owners. Super comfy bed, lots of space _ great shower and a kitchen full of equipment. We are from England and love our tea and the only thing missing was a kettle to make our tea, but we overcame that probably by boiling a pan of water. The photos do not do the property and outdoor spaces justice - great location in the Mesa a lovely walk through the parks the beaches and Stearn’s Wharf. Had an absolutely superb week.

Feel so lucky to have found this great studio (with private patio and kind, caring hosts) in a peaceful, beautiful neighborhood. Mi Casa es Su Casa has all you’d need to spend any length of time. The wharf, harbor, beach (w/restaurant on the sand), surfer’s area, Shoreline Park, best grocery (Lazy Acres), Hendry’s (Arroyo Burro) beach, Funk Zone… all and more within a mile or two.
