Great Home, June 17, 2009

By LisaK (San Jose, CA)

Great place, wonderful view, and nice location to downtown SB. My family and I had a wonderful time. Great place for families. Owner was extremely helpful and very nice.

Great value in SB, June 11, 2009

By anfield (Irvine, CA)

This house is the best value in Santa Barbara for a large group. We had BBQ and breakfast on the deck, which has a gorgeous view of the coast. It's within walking distance of State Street and The Mission. The owner is extremely helpful and easy to work with. I would recommend this place to my friends for their trip to SB in the future.

PERFECT FAMILY GETAWAY, May 3, 2009

By Mary Aguilar (Oregon)

Peaceful, yet Fun! As we had breakfast on the deck, the view of the Pacific and the red clay roofs of this quaint town were calling us to explore. The wide sand beaches, (just down the hill) were delightful to sunbathe and fun for our kids to play in the gentle surf. Santa Barbara has held on to it’s quaint Spanish character, yet has upscale shopping. This large Mediterranean two story home is decorated nicely in Spanish motif. It accommodated both our families and gives privacy, too. Sipping wine in the Jacuzzi under the moonlight was a real plus! The owner was warm and so informative. He knew all the “in” places go and the "secret hide aways." We plan to make this a Family Tradition!

Santa Barbara home, April 30, 2009

By Janet Robinson (Encinitas, California)

We had a wonderful time with our large extended family in this home. It sleeps lots of people and has a fantastic unobstructed 180 degree view of the coast. We loved having breakfast and happy hour on the deck. We also enjoyed the hot tub. It is a comfy home within walking distance of State Street. We also ventured out to the mission. It is not super modern or updated, but our large family liked the fact that we could just relax and enjoy.

Wonderful house in Santa Barbara, March 4, 2009

By Anne Taliaferro (Portland, OR)

This is a gorgeous house, and perfect for a large group. Lots of different spaces for people to gather - a huge kitchen with counter seating - we were there for a very short time, so we didn't use the bicycles to ride along the paths to the beach, but I hope to return for a longer visit sometime. The owner is very friendly and accommodating.

Owner Supplied Testimonials

WOW what a view!!!!!!!!! Stunning in awe of a perfect wedding celebration, watching the sunrise over the bay, steam rising from the soft tub and the melody of conversation mixed with the song of nightingales lifting my all time moments up a notch, well to put it lightly your house captured that. Thanks we hope to return soon

MICHAEL KAWA , Grass Valley CA.

The view is amazing! There is no better way to start the day than sitting on the balcony, drinking coffee, looking out over beautiful Santa Barbara. I suggest doing the same with a glass of wine at sunset. The house was very comfortable and fit our group of 5 adult couples just fine. Close to town, the house was the perfect addition to a wonderful weekend.

When we walked through the door we loved the house instantly. The house had plenty of room and we loved coming home after a long day and taking a dip in the hot tub. The deck had amazing views of the entire city and we enjoyed the family BBQ dinners. We watched movies on the TV and played on the Wii. My children loved jumping on the trampoline and playing foosball. We enjoyed our time so much and had a perfect family vacation we are definitely coming back next year.

Great house, Great views, GREAT VALUE!
We chose this terrific home in the Santa Barbara "Riviera" for our summer family get-together. 7 adults and 2 dogs couldn't have been happier.

Here's what we found: Plenty of space for everyone, comfortable beds, ample parking, a knock-out view of the city below and the Pacific beyond, a quiet neighborhood perfect for early morning walks in the picturesque hills above the town, a lush, fully-enclosed backyard with basketball court and hot tub, bikes and helmets for our use, two flat-screen high-def TVs, wi-fi, and games galore. Add to this a personable, gregarious and accomodating owner all too willing to provide us with tips on things to do and see (which only locals would know), and you've got a winner!

Some other rentals might be closer to the beach or to the action of State Street, but none can offer the panoramic views, the spaciousness, the seclusion, or the absolute value of this gem. If you have a large group and need plenty of room, this is your place.

Review Submitted: May 8, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
I stayed at this house with a grouo of 10 girls and it was perfect for us. There was plenty of space for all of us and our things. The number of bathrooms was great. This house offers everything from games, other entertainment, 2 kitchen areas and the spa was icing on the cake. We found ourselves spending most of our time in the house because it was so accomidating. It is in a beautiful area and is close to every attraction desired. The view is breath taking and was a wonderful site to look at all day long. The owner was very nice and provided us with everything we needed. I would recommend this house to everyone I know and plan to stay there again

Some of the best pictures from our wedding came from your backyard and deck..

Thank you we had a wonderful time in your beautiful home. The family enjoyed gathering on the deck to watch the sunset, walking down to State Street and hiking to inspiration point. What a Great Weekend!!!! We will be back next year.
