Perfect getaway

This adorable bungalow was perfect for the two of us for a lovely, relaxing week. Clean, well-stocked, comfortable beds, a hot tub (we didn't use it, but it's there), and only four blocks to beach access. It's close to everything we wanted to visit: downtown, presidio district, Funk Zone, the wharf, the mission, and the botanical gardens. Also very close to several wineries. We would stay here again.

Cute place, close to the beach!

Loved our time in Santa Barbara!! Cute house with a great living area and awesome outdoor patio. We only used the main bedroom, but the little casita in the back was cute and would have worked for 1 or 2 more people. We walked to one of the beaches a couple blocks away which is down at the base of cliff—super awesome place. Thank you Lynn!!!

Burning Skirt Renunion

This place was perfect! The location is prime! I had 2 friends stay with me and it suited us beautifully. Loved the hot tub and backyard to relax. I used to play on the UCSB Ultimate frisbee team with some rad women and that was 35 years ago. Many of us were able to get together for a wonderful reunion. I'm hoping to be back and will bring my husband next time as he is a Gaucho as well! Thank you fror a great place! My stay was so memorable.

Wonderful weekend stay

I booked this location for a small get together with a few friends and we had a great time. The location is phenomenal and was really just what I had in mind. There's beach access close by, a little shopping center for any last minute needs and the rest of Santa Barbara is a quick car ride away. The unit was clean and was presented as described. The house is cozy and really utilizes all of the space. We felt like we had more than enough space for all 4 of us throughout our stay. The house is equipped with what you need to be comfortable: extra blankets, fans, plenty of utensils, etc and check in/check out is all very reasonable. The backyard is lovely, we spent most of our time in the home enjoying the backyard and hot tub We had a lovely time and I would absolutely book this home again. Thanks Lynn & Martin for having us!

Small, but cute house in a nice neighborhood! Very nice location! Wasn't fun of the management. Check- in and check- out it to the dot !To the level that cleaning people didn't have time to empty garbage bags in the kitchen or finish drying towels/rugs. Additionally management didn't believe me that our trash wasn't emptied- not cool. This property is very much in and out to make profit and not to care about people staying. They don't offer toilet paper (we got 2 rolls, for 5 people staying for a week!) or a hand soap - I asked for refill, and the manager stated they never provide that, it must have been previous guest leaving it behind. Get ready to run to target to get all the necessities ! And pay attention to check-out list!!! We, as a family travel a lot, but never had this "cold" stay.

Pros and cons

Stayed here w/ my young daughter while she went to camp nearby. Nice house and property, great bed, easy check-in, and a great location. The host was very responsive and accommodating. In fact they let me work in the back house until noon on the day of departure when I had an unexpected meeting. There were some cons, however. The hot tub, which we paid an extra fee for, was dirty and didn't heated up beyond lukewarm. Additionally, there was a long list of cleaning responsibilities on the guest, with the threat of an additional charge if it was not followed exactly. This was bothersome because there was a hefty cleaning fee and i learned was more than twice what they paid the housecleaning staff, which I find to be quite unethical. Good to know, esp if travelling with children: the 2nd bedroom is the back casita, which is physically separate from the house.

A few items shy of a perfect visit

Lovely place in a great location, value was there. Pictures were an accurate overlay of what you get. I was a bit surprised the "Air Conditioning" was a secondary box unit that they were going to set up outside and pipe into the bedroom...seems they were a bit disingenuous in the description of the property. it was super coola t nights so the fans served our needs. Also we ran out of the two rolls of toilet paper and asked for some more and was told, basically, "Sorry we only give you two rolls, figure it out yourself." So dad ran to the store to get TP for all the girls. Amazing at this expense for 5 days this is all they owners were willing to do for us. Sometimes it is the little things that matter. The grounds were nice, amenities were good (but bring your own coffee for day one,) and it was an easy, easy walk to the beach steps. Lovely Santa Barbara beaches! Super short drive to the the pier and downtown shops. Easy 30+ minute commute to the wineries. in Santa Ynez valley wine region. We would stay here again.
