Mission Cottage

We loved the location of the cottage as we could walk to several parks and downtown. There is some traffic noise as it is close to the 101 Fwy and Mission St. The enclosed yard was nice for the dog.

Great Stay!

Beautifuly maintained home with a bonus relaxing oasis outside. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything needed prepare meals. The property is a solid 1 mile walk from downtown but still worth leaving the car in the driveway. Would definitely book again. My only recommendation would be to add lighting above the dining table as the room doesn't get much light and is very dark in the evening.

The Best Rental Ever!

My family and I have stayed at more than a dozen rentals over 10 years and this Mission Bungalow has been the nicest. From cleanliness to kitchen necessities, everything was top notch! Only tip of the line products were used. Great linens. Name brand paper products . You will feel no quality

Birthday Weekend

The property is tucked into a great little neighborhood just Northwest of State Street. The yard is surrounded by fencing and jasmine bushes, so it is extremely private. It feels like you are in an oasis in the middle of the city. If you have dogs they will love it! (although the yard is a bit muddy in spots) A great little coffee place is right around the corner as well as an ice cream shop and restaurants. Such a great place to unwind and relax at after a day at the beach (5-15 min drive depending on the beach). I would absolutely book this place again in the future.

Fantastic place

My 89 year old mother and I stayed so we can have visits with her 86 year old brother. It is a perfect location and very conducive for elderly adults. My mother very much enjoyed the back porch, house being one-level, and each room having its own bathroom worked perfectly.

Beat the heat getaway

We left Phoenix at 119° to arrive at Santa Barbara with a cool 72° forecast. The deck was our hangout at the house. Very private and lush. The house was well stocked with everyday items. This location is amazing for ease of getting around. The off street parking is a must in Santa Barbara. We will defiantly be back for another stay.

Comfort and close to it all in Santa Barbara, dog loving community

We loved the neighborhood, the vibe, the accessibility by walking to amenities, our dog was welcomed,. Our month stay made us realize it just wasn’t enough time! The weather was almost always sunny, and except one torrential rainy day, we just put on a rain coat and hiked or biked in comfortable weather. Oh, the ocean , the hills, the art, the wine,did I forget the wine? Only 1 day out of the month we stayed in but for 29; so it was perfect.
