This property is so much nicer than the pictures show! We were greeted amazingly, and able to get in a little earlier, which was great since we were already in town! Upon arrival we were so pleasantly surprised with the fresh flowers, and music in every room! I highly recommend Michael and this charming home for any Santa Barbara visit. My husband and I were there with our adult children, and were super comfortable, and we will be back!

Beautiful, well-appointed home in a fantastic location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home was beautiful and sparkling clean. Beds were comfy, as was the living room furniture. We enjoyed the covered front porch even in the rain (rare for Santa Barbara!). The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with coffee and tea and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect place to stay!

We went to celebrate my birthday, 3 couples. The house was convenient to everything- shops, restaurants, beach. The house itself was immaculate and plenty of space for 6 adults. The communication with our host was excellent, he made everything very easy. If we make it back to Santa Barbara we will definitely stay here again.

Top notch in every way

One of the best rental experiences I have ever had, and I have rented a lot of houses - half a dozen this year alone. Beautifully appointed home, great walkable location, super responsive owner. Absolutely perfect for our girls getaway. We felt completely pampered - more like a luxury hotel than a typical rental. Totally can’t wait to go back!

Viking fridge, dishwasher, oven, All-Clad everything, etc... Amazing historic retreat. Too many amenities to list so I'll just say... wow! Step out the door and fall into restaurants, clubs and very cool shops and a stones throw to an upscale mall. Kudos!

Perfect for Wedding in Santa Barbara

The 3 bedroom, 2 bath home was perfect for our short, 2 night stay in SB. Next time we come we plan to actually enjoy the home a bit more. Beds were comfy, filtered water throughout home along with easy to operate air/heating controls. Updated kitchen appliances, huge round dining table and a fully stocked kitchen and games to play. The homes offer 3 porches and its very own parking lot behind the house . We will rebook again!! Oh, the Host also sent us the history of home that dates back to 1906. Hubby mentioned that he felt right at home as well.

Implacable home. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged to make our stay super enjoyable. I have never worked with a host like Michael. I texted him that our coffee machine had a glitch and he went and bought a new one for us. Despite the fact that we had other coffee options such as French press and pour over. Very sweet person. He informed me of the amazing history of the house. Loved the clean bathrooms and the new renovation designs of the house. We had a flower arrangement next to each bed. Kitchen had more tea options than I have at my own house. Very cute porch where we enjoyed our morning coffee. Close to everything you want to see.

This is the most amazing home! Very tastefully decorated but not overly crowded. I have never been in a VRBO that was so well stocked. From the tea selection ( probably 20 kinds) to the various ways to make your coffee ( pour over, French press, keurig and full pot options) to the spices and kitchen supplies. I believe every kind of spice was in the kitchen and there was a stand mixer and an ice maker. The bathrooms had plenty of towels as well as q-tips, cotton balls and Kleenex. The host was very responsive with suggestions of places to eat and general information. It was lovely to sit on the front porch after a long day of sight seeing. The location is right in the downtown area about a block from all the restaurants and shops. It was a great location. We will definitely stay here again. It’s just beautiful and convenient. It really was the best VRBO I’ve ever stayed in.
