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.

Great location and beautifully furnished!
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!

Family wine tasting
This house was perfect for us. It was close to restaurants, shops and the beach as well as serving as a staging area for several wine tasting trips. The house is beautifully appointed impeccably cared for and extremely clean. Michael has provided everything that you will need for your trip whether it be in the kitchen with Viking appliances or the technology embedded throughout the house. I highly recommend this home for your vacation.

Best property in Santa Barbara
There are so many “best” things about this home. Michael and Kelly are great hosts and very responsive. Loved the gas grill and side patio. The front porch is great for morning coffee and we spent a lot of time out there. House is completely renovated with a great kitchen. You won’t be disappointed on every aspect. Easily walk to many restaurants and shops.

Beautiful, well located…wonderful surprise!
My family and I spent the week between Christmas and new years at this wonderful house. What a surprising gem… well equipped-everything high end and immaculate. We felt very very comfortable there. Michael checked in with me several times to make sure we didn’t need anything and if we had any special requests… we really didn’t need a thing because everything was already in place. The house is located close to State street where we walked to Starbucks every morning and hung out at Joes cafe for several meals. Many thanks to the owner-we will definitely be back and highly recommend this wonderful home!!

Beyond Expectations!!
Everything about our stay at this wonderful property exceeded our expectations. Michael and Kelly should be designated "Super Hosts" if they aren't already!!! Communication before and during our stay was spot on. Upon arrival, we were greeted with an amazingly welcoming environment created by our hosts with fresh flowers, wine and fresh fruit, and even music playing throughout the home. What a wonderful way to start our mini-vacation! Such a beautiful, immaculate, and comfortable home located walking distance to restaurants, shops, the beach, and much more. Attention to detail is an understatement. We commented that Michael and Kelly must have stayed in many vacation homes, making lists of all the things they would want included in the perfect stay... even including the "super games!" That will make sense if you visit this lovely property! :) Beautiful, charming, historic, modern, comfortable, and a twist of swanky... all at the same time! 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.

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!

We absolutely loved the ambiance of the Seaglass Bungalow. This house exceeded our expectations!!! The attention to detail did not go unnoticed… from the decor to the Aqua water at each bedside table. We actually didn’t want to leave the house to explore SB 🤣 Michael is the best host… he suggested The Palace restaurant which is walking distance. Our family had the best time! We will definitely stay here again!!!
