We loved staying at this property for several months while working in Santa Barbara. The house was STOCKED with everything we might ever need. Very thoughtful owners and very responsive with questions. We loved the fenced in yard for our doggo!
Checked every box for us - peaceful, convenient to anywhere you want to go in SB, gracious and thoughtful hosts, safe and private neighborhood, wonderful views of mountains. No complaints. It was a treat.
My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed our month-long stay in January at John and Sheri's property. We really appreciate all the personal touches in their home that make it feel really special and not at all like a 'vacation rental.' I also loved having a dedicated workspace and huge computer monitor which made working remotely so much easier for that amount of time. We can't wait to come back again next year!
Just about everything you can need was available. Host was very attentive. Suggest changing the mattresses on the twin beds to softer for comfort. I slept on the couch for almost a month. Nice stay.
Most well equipped rental we have experienced. Having reverse osmosis water and computer printer are just 2 examples of the extent of detail the owners have gone to make staying here just like home. They were also friendly and helpful in learning about the area. Electronic goodies in sound system, TV, and office were easy to use and we will consider cutting the cable. Rooms were cozy and comfortable for TV and reading and listening to music. Reminded us of our homes in New England. Property exceeded our expectations for our month stay.
My wife, I and our dog loved this home hosted by John & Sheri. The kitchen is well equipped, the house is comfortable & we appreciated the TV room separate from the living room. The front porch is a wonderful place to read with a view of the mountains. The back patio is relaxing with a large, fenced-in private yard . John & Sheri have created a wonderful place in a quiet neighborhood within 10 minutes of everything SB has to offer. Finally John & Sheri made us feel welcome upon check-in and responded immediately to any questions we had.
Beautifully appointed home, comfortable, walkable, quiet neighborhood. We'll be back!
This was our second stay at this wonderful location. The neighborhood is walkable, stores and restaurants are nearby, and the hosts go above and beyond with thoughtful touches.
John and Sheri have created a delightful vacation experience. The house is beautiful, well appointed, and in a lovely neighborhood ideal for walking and quick access to anything you may need. We found SB and the house to be the zen we desperately needed and are already talking about our return next year. They provided a book of recommended sights and eating venues that were spot on - we were never disappointed in any of their recommendations. If needed, John and Sheri quickly responded to any question we sent their way. You will not be disappointed staying with these great hosts.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Wyola House in January 2022. John and Sheri arranged a wonderful welcome basket for us and our Boston Terrier and promptly responded to any questions or concerns. The property was just as listed, in a quiet, walkable Santa Barbara neighborhood, within minutes of beach, local coffee and bakeries, grocery (Trader Joe's, Whole Foods), Hendry Beach (great for dogs) or just a relaxing beach walk. We met several neighbors (and their pets) during our morning walks. It was better for us to park on the street right in front of the house for easier access than to risk using the driveway (it's as harrowing as the listing says). The view of the mountains from the living room is spectacular, almost like a painting. The gas fireplace (we used it nearly every morning and evening) and the cozy couch and chairs were wonderful. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for cooking. Very nice washer/dryer and updated primary bath. Our dog enjoyed the private backyard and sunny patio. The windows are fragile as the listing mentions and a few dusty screens, but nothing terrible. We hope to stay again soon!
