Clean, quiet, quaint, comfortable, in a lovely residential setting. The gardens were a joy, as were the birds. We walked several times each day down to the beach. The two bed, two bath offered an excellent set up for our mother daughter vacation. Mary communicated promptly and made our stay welcoming. We will be back!!! This is a hidden treasure!

This property was perfect for our short stay to Santa Barbara. The location is amazing, just steps away from the beach. The gardens surrounding the property are wonderful. Very clean and the bed was very comfy. Mary was very easy to contact if we needed anything.

Wonderful and quiet

Wonderful cottage feel, two rooms each with their own bathroom and desks. Larger room has garden view and fold out couch/bed for that relaxing living room feel. And you couldn’t ask for better location near Mesa steps quick access to everything.

Cute, 2 Bed, 2 Bath property.

The property was very cute and a very good size for the money. My only comment is if you have large heavy luggage on rollers, it was very difficult to get your luggage in the room because of the walkways obstructions.

Santa Barbara Hidden Gem...For Real!

Perfect location in a beautiful and peaceful neighborhood and a short walk to stairs that lead to the beach. It's also an easy walk to Cliff Drive that leads to the stunning waterfront offering just about everything you need with gorgeous parks along the way.Mary is the perfect host and was available immediately for questions after we arrived. She also provided hiking poles which we used every day as we explored the trails above Santa Barbara and Montecito. We will be back!

Quaint and Artsy

We were comfortable, overall. Temps were a bit warm (thankfully the nights were cool with doors open). The property is a bit older, so don’t expect modern conveniences. LOTS of light, beautiful gardens, and Mary was very responsive to our needs.
