Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Santa Barbara County

Took my parents and niece for a lovely quick weekend getaway. This place felt like such a cozy oasis away from home - it’s tucked away in a nice cul-de-sac and the entire house is surrounded by trees and plants, creating such a private hideaway. Pictures truly reflect the cozy and clean environment of this place. We loved having the backyard wood fireplace to make s’mores at night and enjoy a nice glass of wine. The house is stocked with all necessary kitchen utensils and more to stay in for a nicely cooked home meal with a nice gas fireplace inside. Brenda has a nice folder with useful instructions and directions of everything around the house, local guide to restaurants and grocery stores. We ate at the Jeannine’s for brunch and ordered in from the Via Maestra 42 - both delicious options! Overall, we would love to return to this cozy oasis for a weekend! Thanks Brenda!

good spot in great location. really nice backyard in a quiet neighborhood. walking distance to chase park and quick drive to everything else. if you have a little one that uses high chair place does not have one, and kitchen table isn't good for table chair set up, although outdoor table works well with it. everything else is great and would def stay there again.

We stayed with our adult kids and wanted a walkable location. This one was perfect! Quiet yet close. Really enjoyed meeting Jeanne and her dogs.... horses, chickens too. (FYI....They are off site and not at the property.) The home is very well provisioned and the beds luxurious and comfy. Open kitchen and lots of seating in the living areas. Thank you Jeanne, we look forward to seeing you again!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Santa Barbara Airbnb! The location was absolutely perfect—close to everything we wanted to see and do, yet peaceful and relaxing. The space itself is tastefully decorated with a warm, welcoming vibe, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The host went above and beyond, leaving us a thoughtful note and some snacks, which made us feel right at home. Every detail was considered, and it truly made our trip extra special. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

We loved our stay at Heidi’s place! We were travelling with two children under 10 and stayed for two nights. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The house has a wonderfully warm, lived-in feel—you can tell that your staying in someone’s beautiful home rather than a standard rental—and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The pool was, of course, a huge hit with the kids! Although the weather wasn’t on our side, the spa was perfect for warming up after a chilly swim. We’d definitely love to stay again if (or when!) we return to Santa Barbara.

As others have said, this is a perfect place for 2-3 people; any more than that would be a squeeze. That said, we had a wonderful time staying at the Back Porch. Just as described and pictured, and in many ways better. Very helpful to have laundry access right there too. Beautiful surroundings, couldn’t be any closer to all the great spots to visits — make sure to drive to Nojoqui Falls as it is a quick walk up there and back but so serene and shaded all the way. Took restaurant recommendations from the hosts guidebook and ate at both Brothers and Los Olivos Wine Merchant — both fantastic — highly recommend! So yes, don’t hesitate to book this place — you will be glad you did ….

A perfect getaway for my family and I . Just out in the country enough to feel secluded but also close enough to all that solvang and los olivos has to offer. Alan was very responsive and attentive ; the place has wonderful amenities and was as advertised. Would definitely stay here again.

My 21 year old twin nephews and I love this place. Very clean and comfortable.Trenda and Joe were very friendly and responsive.The place is very quiet just the way we like it. We would love to stay there again when we are in the area. Thanks,Trenda and Joe.

Comfortable and homey stay at Ian’s in a beautiful and quite neighborhood steps from downtown Santa Barbara. The location was amazing! The home was just as described and for a great price!

We met Terry and he was very personable, helpful and cared about making sure that you have everything you need. The property has many animals and offered to give us a tour when he was feeding them. The place is spacious. The only thing that I would say is that if the description says a 2bd, it is actually 1 bedroom that has a door and the "bunkbed room" is open with no door. Didn't really make a huge difference to us. We enjoyed our 1 night. It is about 15 minutes off the 5 freeway.

Had a great time! Geoff and Annika were great hosts. The sauna was so nice after a long hike. The place was clean, peaceful private, and easy to get to. Easy check in and out.

Spacious, clean lodgings on the first floor of an older home with very quiet renters upstairs. It worked great for our two-week stay in Ventura.

Historic building beautifully remodeled with all of the modern amenities in a fantastic location. Easy to find, easy to park, and perfectly situated between downtown SB and Montecito. Would love to stay there again. I hope it’s available the next time I visit my niece at UCSB.

We had an incredible visit to Santa Barbara staying here! Everything looked just like the pictures and the back patio was gorgeous. We loved the quick walk up to the beach and had no problem with taking the time to walk into downtown. We really appreciated Maddi’s recommendations for food, drinks, and hikes. Very convenient place, highly recommend!

The little quality details made this a top notch stay. Nice towels smelling great, comfortable couch, amazing and comfortable bedding. Felt like a home.

This place was exactly as it was described - a piece of paradise on a beach. The place was well kept, had all the necessary amenties for a short term vacation/weekend stay, and was convenient to get in and out.

We booked this home for our family Christmas trip, and it honestly surpassed our expectations. Lots of room for a big family. The sauna was a plus for us, it snowed when we stayed there and it was such a perfect cozy home for after some snow fun. There isn’t much of a grocery store nearby besides a convenience store. We took a lot of things from outside of the town(near castaic stopped by a Ralph’s) which helped with meals and snacks. They did provide a lot of toiletries so that helped, I would definitely travel again to this property with my family next year. communication was very easy to have and check-in was a breeze!

This is a lovely place to rejuvenate in the Santa Ynez area. It is located between Los Olivos and Santa Ynez so you cannot really walk to anywhere which was fine for us. The biking in the area was wonderful and we would definitely stay here again.

Great place to relax and unwind. This is a very peaceful and private setting with plenty of room and ample parking.

All i can say is WOW! If you stay here, be prepared for this experience to spoil all other AirBnBs for you, because they will not be able to compare to how fantastic this is! Cynthia is a true professional, from above-and-beyond hospitality to an exquisite property down to the details - she needs a tv show! AirBNB is very lucky to even have someone this dedicated on this app. This properly is absolutely stunning- like something you would see in a magazine. My husband and I booked this on a trip for our first anniversary- and Cynthia went over the top, making us feel special for the weekend. We had massages on the property outside beside the tennis court (incredible), played private tennis, and even had smores by the firepit under the stars. We would come back just to stay here again! An absolute 10/10

Simply magical! Stunning property with incomparable views, the best hammock in the world, beautiful outdoor dining space, right on top of Solvang but feels like you’re in the Tuscan countryside. Beautiful, light filled home with views all around and extremely clean and well appointed. Can’t say enough wonderful things, and the hosts are so friendly and helpful. Amazing!

Loved our stay! Tevis was very warm and helpful. We really enjoyed the pool, hot tub and fire pit! It's a quiet beach that was never crowded and the airbnb was in a very safe community. Would love to go back!

Our entire Airbnb stay was a fantastic beach getaway for our family. The home was exceptionally spacious, giving everyone plenty of room to relax. The kids especially enjoyed cozying up by the fireplace each night. I loved that we could cook breakfast together, with the kids eating at the counter, and then enjoy more formal dinners in the dining area. Being just a quick 10-minute drive from Pismo Beach meant we never felt rushed—we could easily come back for a midday break and return to the beach later. The property was clean, convenient, and surrounded by beautiful scenery, with ample space for everyone. The billiards table was an added bonus that made our stay even more enjoyable.

We had a lovely stay at Erica's house. We really appreciated all the small but important touches - magnificent kitchen with so many kitchen tools and instruction manuals, plenty of towels, enjoyable outdoors with grill and fire pit. The beds were comfortable. So easy to walk to the beach which we basically had to ourselves. Erica's communication with us before and during our stay was clear, instructive and prompt. We really had an enjoyable time and appreciate Erica letting us enjoy her place.
