This spot was exactly as pictured in a great location. The host was very respectful, communicative, and attentive. I would definitely recommend this spot to a family or group renting in Santa Barbara!
The location was wonderful with easy access to downtown. The house was immaculate. The owner is extremely helpful and available. This was the best VRBO experience I have had, absolutely perfect. Thank you, Michael!
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!
Michael’s lovely house is exactly as described. The charming house is comfortable and modern in all the ways that matter and the high-end and finishes are impeccably maintained. True pride of ownership.
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.
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!
The location near State street was terrific. The house was amazingly organized and I wish my home was this organized/clean. Host was super responsive. 5*
Lovely house. Clean, well-equiped. Had everything you'd want for your stay, including board games! Great location. Michael was an excellent communicator. Thank you for helping to make our family weekend stress-free!
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.
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!
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.
Exceeded our expectations, highly recommend booking this VRBO you will not be disappointed. The owners outdid themselves with all the details and amenities, very impressed. I’d say the only downfall of the stay was we wanted to stay in the house more than be out!
Extremely well located, impeccably decorated Santa Barbara home with extra parking. Owner was super attentive. Home was well-stocked with everything. Very much enjoyed the stay
Charming home, even nicer than the pictures show. It was clean, spacious, organized, filled with every amenity. Michael was extremely responsive, both before and during our stay. We hope to stay here again!
Michael was such an incredible host. From the second we walked into the property, we felt like it was a home away from home. The check-in process was seamless, and the kitchen and bathrooms were fully-stocked with anything we could need for our stay. Everything was clean and tidy and the decor was cozy and welcoming. We had an exceptional time and would stay here again in a heartbeat!
We loved this house! Top of the line everything! Fully stocked-coffee, tea, creamer, etc. Beds were wonderful. Walkable to so many fun things to do! Only bad thing was that we could only stay one night. We will definitely come back to this house
I’ve been to Santa Barbara several times and stayed in many
VRBOs. This property was the best furnished of all! Four Seasons quality bedding, towels, and appliances. One block to State St makes it an easy walk to all the restaurants and attractions. We could not have been more pleased!
I was in for a wedding with and couldn’t have found a better place to stay. Close to everything but on a quiet block this bungalow is beautifully appointed and clean. Michael was so accommodating and helpful. I couldn’t ask for more . It made my weekends for sure. Can’t wait to be back !!
The home was gorgeous.and pristine. Attention to detail in every aspect. Top of the line items. The owner, Michael, was accommodating and a good communicator.
Will definitely return!
