Just steps from the beach

"One of the best vacation home experiences I have had. Very clean, good location, accurate to listing. Responsive host. A warm welcome at arrival - I especially appreciated bottled water available when I walked in the door. Well equipped kitchen, and good amenities. Easy walk to East Beach. Neighborhood was very quiet, too. I wouldn't hesitate to rent this property again! I agree with the high ratings Lee is getting on this house!"

Your OWN Private Refuge ON 10 Acres IN Santa Ynez

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (223)
"We had the best stay. The check in was simple and this place is absolutely beautiful. The home was decorated so beautifully. The beds were super comfortable and the bedding was top notch and that’s coming from a bedding snob. Everything was convenient and we were close to everything we could possibly need. "

Coastal cottage with private patio - 2 minute walk to beach

8.0 out of 10, Very Good, (16)
"The title pretty sums it up. It is a great property and we had a fun time and enjoyed our stay. Only negatives were that the bed is not very comfortable, and also the sound proofing is not very good so unless you have a fan on or something you'll be able to hear traffic and trains throughout the night.

"Perfect property for a restorative weekend. Distant church bells, gentle ocean breezes and bird sounds in the trees. What could be more calming and relaxing? This property is luxurious in every way. Like staying at a five star hotel at a fraction of the cost. We will definitely be back!"

Furnished 3 BR Guest Cottage--3 night min--ask for 1-12 month lease pricing

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (114)
"Good family getaway spot, the backyard is definitely the highlight and has the most room for everyone to be together. The host was wonderful and super helpful, I really appreciated the early check in. My only criticism is that the photos online look like the cottage is farther away from the main house, but they are right next to each other, so there isn't a lot of privacy and the cottage is very small."

Zenful Avo-Cottage w/hot tub — 5 min from the beach & hiking!

9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (6)
"Carpinteria is just a special place. Paul’s tiny homes gave us a chance to experience it. Definitely read the description as there are quirks to this property. It’s two separate homes. The kitchen home has two lofts… one w/ a queen bed & one w/ a twin. The bedroom home has the bathroom. Those staying in the lofts need to go outside to get to the bathroom, but there is an exterior door directly into the bathroom. You’re on a farm, so there are animals including roosters nearby. It’s a 10 minute...

Quintessential Santa Barbara Architecture Close to Beach, Downtown & Funk Zone

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (13)
"This house has a great location, walking distance to lots of restaurants and shops and just a few minutes from the beach. The beds were very comfortable and the house had everything you need for stay. We happened to stay during a heat wave and found that it took quite awhile for the PLUG- IN AC to cool place off. The owner also requested us to turn this off while we were not in the home, texting us about it during our stay to remind us. This was a little frustrating as we booked this home...

Charming New Casita Lower Riviera, Quiet, AC, 6 blocks to State St, Pet-Friendly

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (3)
"The casita behind the main house is lovely! Very private and beautifully decorated with everything you need for an amazing stay. The location is just a few blocks off State Street so everything is walkable to the restaurants, shops and stores. There is also a little grocery store only 1 block away if you need to pick up some drinks and snacks. Would definitely stay again!"

Two Bedroom Craftsman Cottage, near downtown Santa Barbara

9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (9)
"We appreciated the fresh flowers, novelty cat decor, and cozy ambiance of the 2 bedroom cottage (Woodford). Hospitality and communication was top notch. Caroline gave us a warm greeting and all the info we needed about the cottage and the area. Isabelle was helpful in coordinating our stay too. Breakfasts were OUTSTANDING! During our five day stay, we enjoyed a unique spread cooked to perfection every morning. It is almost impossible to pick a favorite: the quiche, the blueberry french toast,...
