Immaculate Cottage with Hot Tub & Great Location!
We had a wonderful stay at Dana’s place! The cottage was decorated wonderfully, was extremely clean and had everything we needed for a terrific stay! Would definitely recommend to others and would definitely stay here again!

Dreamy Glass Cottage in Nature Paradise
We had a magical weekend retreat at Jennifer’s Glass House. It was so peaceful, the unique architecture was perfect for taking in the sights and sounds of nature—the view from inside the Glass House was jaw dropping. Jennifer was so sweet, welcoming, and helpful. The bed was supremely comfortable and the bedding had a luxe feel. There were thoughtful places to sit, swing, or lie down throughout the property. While the kitchen is more limited, we were able to cook everything we needed, making food outdoors was divine. The bathrooms were spotless, if a bit of a walk to take in the middle of the night (but no different from other glamping facilities). We were lucky to have the entire Grove area to ourselves so it was especially comfortable as we didn’t have to navigate around other occupants. Loved the pool and hot tub area, a really charming experience. Overall it’s the perfect place for a quiet retreat off-grid, to recharge in an ideal glamping situation. We can’t wait to be back.

Montecito Lemon Grove Cottage
The cutest perfect getaway spot!! We didn't want to leave. 5 minute drive to some really great restaurants and shopping. Stunning hiking trails not too far of a walk or a quick drive away. 10/10 recommend if you're looking for a weekend escape!!

Private Full Downtown Cottage with Hot Tub & Patio
Great cottage! Had an awesome weekend on Bath Street. Place was very clean and the outside yard was very relaxing to hang out and nicely fenced for pets. Great location close enough to walk to the Bowl, State Street, Beach, etc.

Farmhouse cottage
What a peaceful place tucked in a quiet hilltop full of nature surroundings. Absolutely no traffic/people noise and lots darkness with an incredible view when the fog rolls away. It blew our minds! A perfect base of operations for a week stay with all we needed and the host right next door (over a private gate) which was helpful when we had a few needs that he responded quickly and kindly. We were impressed how close we were to things even though it felt like we were far, far away. We cannot wait to stay there again! Note to those that drive a Tesla, do NOT use the car gps/maps. It won’t get you there in a direct route. Use Google maps. Plan at least one evening to enjoy the night sky from the hot tub and deck with fire table and grill. It’s not to be missed.

Santa Ynez Retreat – Perfect Location/Dog Friendly
Jonah is responsive and reliant, and I’m so glad to have booked his gem of a home! I highly recommend all of his listings as he is usually nearby and always willing to help. I stayed in the retreat/cottage and it was great! It is just minutes away from Solvang (about 6 miles) which was a plus. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway.

The Avo-Cottage awaits you :)
Amazing location. Super cozy. The farm was the highlight. Waking up to the chickens was something else. The hot tub was great. The bedrooms were super cozy. I’d 10/10 recommend. Loved hanging with the goats

Private Guest House on 10 Acres
We had a fabulous ladies weekend in Buellton. The house and surroundings are very peaceful and relaxing. It was a quick drive to restaurants, wineries, and Solvang. I will definitely be staying here again.

Silver Strand Beach Cottage
Very clean and comfortable. Short walk to beach and convenience store. Left bikes, boogie boards, and a wagon for us to use, but I’m bummed we don’t get to use them.

Gillian's Room - A Cottage Dream (dog friendly)
Overall we had a great stay at this property. It is private and quiet, within walking distance of Summerland town strip and is just a short drive to state street. I encourage renting Gillian’s room to anyone looking for an affordable stay in summerland! The dog bed was a nice touch for our dog as well!

Relaxing getaway cabin
This place was exactly as described and exactly what I was looking for . Anne has really gone out of the way to make this a truly charming get away retreat. Already planning my next trip back. Thank You Anne.

Between Ballard and Los Olivos in Wine Country
Beautiful casita next to the big house. The vineyard nearby is beautiful to drive along and its central between two towns. Lovely stay.

Montecito Beach Cottage. Walk to restaurants.
Nice, clean accommodations. I would describe the place more as a guest house than a home as it is attached to the main house to which the owner (Darren) resides. There is also another studio-type accommodation attached to the "house." Both were non-issues as they were quiet and rarely seen from the "house." We travel with our dogs and the backyard was great for them...quiet, large, clean, and private. Easy walk (~10 min) to Butterfly beach from the "house" as well as to town. The bedroom is bright due to the skylights so if you are a late sleeper, it may impact you. The bed was softer than my wife and I prefer. Overall a nice place!

Hummingbird Cozy Cottage, Garden, Treehouse, Views
Hummingbird Cottage is adorable. The bed was so comfortable and the sound of the fountain was soothing. The house is very small, so not suited to someone really tall. Our daughter stayed in the treehouse and loved it. The location was great for catching the boat to the Channel Islands.

Bright and Lovely Beach Cottage
Second time staying at this house, and just as great as the first time. Fabulous location, comfortable, and extremely well-stocked. Great for our two kids--6 and 9--too. A wonderful experience.

Sunshine Suite at Casa Cañón
wonderful space. would absolutely stay here again. better than described

Beautiful and Bright Pet Friendly Cottage
Wonderful experience! Beautiful home, creative and influential decor, we felt like it was our own. We brought our pups along and they couldn’t get enough of the back and front yard. If we are in Santa Barbara again, we hope we can stay again. Highly recommend!

Montecito Garden Cottage
I can’t say more about this amazing place! So serene and beautiful I will certainly be back many times. 💕

Quiet Carpinteria Cottage By Town & Beaches
I loved staying here! Felt like home and the perfect "nook" for peace, while still being able to walk to restaurants nearby :) The bed was very comfortable! I loved that they had an AC unit and heater available! The kitchen is really cute as well with k cups for coffee and water available! I would definitely love to stay here again :)

Charming cottage with private patio, walk to beach
Vacasa was a beautiful experience ! Peaceful, private, 5-7 minute walk to the beach. Reunion restaurant close by 20 minute walk to the wharf pier this is a perfect place for a couple to stay at ! I recommend

Steps to Beach, Dwntwn & Architectural Charm
Kathy was a great host and her home is wonderful. The location is fantastic, very close to both the beach and downtown Santa Barbara. I highly recommend staying here.

Jennifer's Room - A Cottage Dream (dog friendly)
Wonderful stay at this charming cottage. The road by this place has an amazing view of the water. The place was neat and clean. Aidan was very responsive and made sure our stay was comfortable. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone planning to stay in Santa Barbara.
