    I’m sad that we only stayed for two nights because this space really felt like a home away from home! We were in town to visit family and attend a wedding and we were very comfortable. We appreciated the double sinks in the main bathroom, that was so helpful! Rodney and Cindy were amazing hosts!

    Beautiful, charming home and neighborhood. Close to State Street. Plenty of room to spread out. It is a private home and not suitable for small children if they are climbers and curious! Lots of nice things out.

    Can't say enough about this property and the Hosts. Beautiful neighborhood, Landscape and Home. Everything you could need and more you will find in this home. Lots of room to visit in comfort with your family/friends. Large bedrooms and comfy beds. Yes they have the soft bath towels too! Don't let the fact that the hosts is in the back ADU home scare you. They are not noisy and will talk to you if you so desire and please talk to them because they are so sweet and knowledgeable.

    What a home. It’s so warm. So clean. So spacious for our family of four with two adult daughters. We were in for a family wedding in Santa Barbara and the home is in a historic and beautiful neighborhood just a ten minute drive from downtown but walkable to restaurants, grocery, coffee shops nearby. We also liked being residential and not among all the tourists. In the home is everything you could need and we enjoyed the outdoor patio space. Rodney was super communicative and gracious. He met us at the house and gave us a great overview. He responds promptly to any questions though we really didn’t have any! There is a guest book with all the info one could possibly need. Honestly, it’s one of my favorite rentals ever, and I am a tough customer .

He was quick to respond to anything we needed and had recommendations galore! This was our first time in Santa Barbara and we will never forget Rodney & rocky of course too. Thank you for having us!

    This 1930-40s home is in a lovely, walkable neighborhood of unique homes near shops and restaurants. So so quiet it’s hard to believe. The cottage-like home has been lovingly restored by longtime owners, with updated bathrooms and kitchen. Comfy King bed in the master, wonderful living room with large screen TV, cozy and bright sitting room connected to kitchen. We would stay here again! Host is SUPER friendly and responsive to any issue, holiday or no holiday!!!

    We travel from Wisconsin to Santa Barbara during the winter, in retirement. We come to Santa Barbara to connect with a daughter and her husband who live in LA. For us Santa Barbara is about family, beautiful winter weather, healthy food, and exercise. Two weeks in this lovely family home, gathering with some of our family members, sent us home refreshed and happy. We enjoyed cooking and eating together. Two daughters worked remotely while we were together. This was the best house for our family in 16 winter visits to Santa Barbara. It nicely accommodated six adults so that we could enjoy each other and still have private space to work, rest, cook, eat together, etc. We loved this house.

    A perfect stay at this VRBO. It is truly a gem! When you arrive you will immediately notice the beautiful architecture of the house and welcoming front yard. If you are lucky, Rodney will be there to greet you, he is an amazing host. Our family of three had plenty of space to relax and get ready for a wedding in Santa Barbara.
