Great 50th birthday weekend!

Had a fabulous stay here for my 50th with my mom and aunts. It was within walking distance to great shopping, coffee shops and the Farmers Market. We also went on a cruise to the Channel Islands which was just a 40 minute drive to the harbor. Spent some time at the Santa Barbara pier on a Sunday and enjoyed the art walk. Great location, great hosts , plenty of room for 5 of us. Loved the extra touches like the bottle of wine and great soaps.

Great little cottage

We loved this house, everything was accommodating for a group of girls. The only "complaint" we had was there was an odor in the house.

Lovely Home

We were very pleased with our stay in this adorable house! The 10 adults in our party were very comfortable staying in this house. The upstairs had plenty of mirrors and was a great space to get ready in. The house had plenty of towels and supplies. Definitely would stay here again!

We had a great time visiting with family. The location was central to the downtown and not far from the beach. The house was clean and spacious for all of our guests. We had a wonderful vacation.

Moms Getaway

We stayed at this house for our annual Mom’s getaway and enjoyed it very much. Great location, we were able to walk to State Street for dinner every night. Very clean, we felt safe, and very comfortable beds. No bathroom upstairs which might be difficult with kids/families but was fine for our group. Thanks for a great stay.

Family Fun

Walkability!!! This property is walkable with a 4 year old to parks and restaurants and there's even a bus stop near by. We were quite impressed with the historic nature of this house and how well it has been preserved yet at the same time, really appreciated that it has been updated with modern conveniences. The multiple rooms really worked for our range of ages, places for naps and work. The patio space was easily large enough for us to have a gathering of 12 for dinner. I hope to have my family return for more family fun!

Good stay

Good overall. Directions on where to park and how to get in from the back entrance, though being late night I accidently tried the front door until re-reading instructions. Parking area is a little cramped but can get used to it and just be cautious. Upstairs gets hot even at night and when the thermostat was off so be mindful to keep AC on at a temp so you don't wake up sweating. Larger bathroom has a tub, shower, and laundry -- only one door to these so if someone needs to access laundry then they will see you indecent or on the toilet.

House worked out really well for our family

House was very quaint and well stocked. Worked great for our families needs and it had many beds and ample linens and towels. We were initially concerned about the units in the back but we didn't hear them at all and had a really nice quiet family weekend. Great location as it is a nice quiet block but short walk to State St. Property manager was always responsive and very accommodating, we would stay there again, 5 stars

Family home for a week.

This old home had plenty of charm and space for our family of 4 adults and two small children. The 2 updated bathrooms are beautiful. The kitchen, although retaining original cupboards and drawers, functioned well and had everythingvwe needed. We appreciated the plastic childrens' plates, cups, and bowls. Our kids ate only at the kitchen table make clean up easy. The location in a quiet neighborhood was ideal for us. We walked to restaurants on State St. and to the park with the outstanding childrens' zone and duck pond. We were very comfortable staying at this house and would recommend to others.

sleeping arrangements

The bed arrangement in this house may work out with small children, but it definitely is not appropriate for older children and adults. Too crowded! Also, the king bed downstairs is ridiculously high. I had to buy a step stool to get into bed. And the trundle beds are not adequate for older children and adults. Quaintness and charm only go so far. A good night's sleep is more important. The location was great but parking is insufficient for ten people. Bathroom and kitchen were fine. Plenty of towels for everyone.

Lovely, historic home in beautiful SB

Staying in this lovely Victorian home was a fun blend of old architecture and modern comfort. High ceilings, beautiful woodwork, and creaky wood floors contributed to the ambience, while comfortable beds, recently updated bathroom and full kitchen contributed to the comfort. There was plenty of comfortable seating in the living room, dining room and outdoor dining for our family of 8. The location was perfect, in a quiet neighborhood close to everything we needed and walkable to The Daily Grind. The service/cleaning fee was high for everything they ask you to do on checkout. All in all, a great stay.
