Great stay at Bunny's Cottage

Great location and size and space was perfect for our group. Communication was excellent and no concerns.

Welcome to your private Santa Barbara beach retreat!

Disappointed

Wonderful location, quiet and safe neighborhood. Hendry’s beach is a short walk from this property. NUMEROUS cleanliness issues (fell far short of expected standards), also maintenance and upkeep issues with the house.

Convenient, Comfortable, Chef’s Kitchen!

Communication rated at 2 stars as we did have some difficulties: our first two attempts to book the property expired but once we messaged the host he confirmed the booking; we had to message the host to receive check-in instructions as they weren’t sent out automatically. Once at the property, the host responded promptly to texts related to fans and cooling down the house (kitchen area really warms up with the afternoon sun so open windows to create a cross-breeze!). The house is well-equipped and super-comfortable for a group of 4 adults. It’s close to State Street, a Ralph’s grocery store (we prepared several meals and enjoyed the flat-top!), and a short-ish walk to the beach. Glad we persisted and were able to book this home-away-from-home and would stay here again if we were to return to Santa Barbara!

Loved this property!

The property was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. It had a really cozy feeling, and we enjoyed celebrating Thanksgiving there with family. It was within easy walking distance to the beach and walking paths.

Blissful Stay in Santa Barbara

This is a beautiful property with a great location close to the beach and fantastic restaurants. The kitchen is fantastic for anyone who enjoys cooking and the backyard is a great place to chill with a glass of wine. A fantastic place to stay in Santa Barbara.
