You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Perfect luxury getaway two blocks from Oldtown State Street!

Charming and cozy little house in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara built in 1915. The rooms are small (Think Parisian Hotel for a size comparison) but well-appointed and quaint. You'll find a place to hang your hat, charge your phone, rest your fee, set your glass and simply relax.

Great for guests who want to experience a genuine downtown local experience. One block from the Saturday Farmer's Market. Two blocks east of State Street and Joe's Cafe (highly recommended), French Press Coffee, theaters, shopping...
The back yard is the sanctuary and my favorite place to take afternoon naps under the wisteria.

My travels around the world have taken me to some incredible hotels and I owned and operated a yacht charter business for 12 years (as Chef, Steward, First Mate and Cruise Director), taking guests to the from the Channel Islands in five star luxury so attention to comfort is of upmost importance to me. The house is equipped with a full kitchen, quality linens, towels, comfortable rugs and furnishings, and if you've forgotten your toothbrush, razor, sunscreen, hair dryer, or shaving cream, you don't have to walk the (one block) down the street to the store.

There are bicycles (and helmuts/locks) for your use, a BBQ for backyard entertaining, a Bose portable music system that connects to your music library so you can have your music in any room, a game table for an impromptu chess, backgammon, or card game, and a new TV with Netflix and Wi Fi.

A few times per year, my neighbor has a party in his backyard. I never know when it's going to happen. Although they have generally been good about abiding by the noise curfew of 10 pm, I cannot guarantee that there would be some noise coming from the backyard at some point throughout the year. If that happens, a call to me and me stopping by to speak to them generally brings the noise level down! They are very respectful. They just like to have fun sometimes.

Great character
This small 2-bedroom is a great, eclectic place to stay. Walking distance to much in downtown. The backyard has a great seating area with a fire pit. I would suggest you bring a small car as the driveway is very tight. But, overall, a great stay.

A nice getaway
The house was very well located by downtown Santa Monica. A few houses from the best farmers market I have ever been to and walking distance to the beach.

Perfect Bungalow, Prime Location!
This cozy cottage is well appointed with anything you could possibly need for a carefree stay in Santa Barbara. The location cannot be beat. We didn’t use the car once. Endless restaurants, shops and bars within walking distance. Don’t miss the farmers market on a Saturday! And the beds, so cozy! I didn’t want to leave. We will definitely be back!

Fabulous Santa Barbara gem!
This property was amazing - it is smaller than others, but loaded with special details. The decor is warm and cozy, the kitchen is fully stock, the location is ideal for just about anything in Santa Barbara, and the host is super responsive. I highly recommend this rental!

Beautiful!
This house is absolutely beautiful and Dawn is a wonderful host. My now husband and I stayed here for our wedding weekend and it was absolutely perfect. We loved using the fire pit in the back, and all the wisteria in the front and back yards were perfect for my getting ready pictures. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely perfect!
This very small cottage seems as large as you could possibly want, thanks the host's outstanding use of space and selection of high-end fixtures and comprehensive kitchen equipment. Ideally located just two blocks from State Street, and a block from a supermarket, we never needed a car during our weeklong stay. The engaging host is a model of responsiveness and thoughtfulness. We will stay there on every future trip to Santa Barbara.
