This house was in an excellent location for us, as we took the train. It is extremely close to the station. It’s also a very short walk to the beach, the pier, State Street, and several wine tasting spots. We enjoyed drinking our morning coffee in the backyard and relaxed in the living room with the windows wide open, enjoying the fresh air and the chirping birds. We also made good use of the fireplace in the evenings. It would have been nice if there were a Keurig and pods or some nice ground coffee, but Starbucks is only a 3 minute walk away.

Our stay was fabulous! The location couldn’t be better - totally walkable to everything downtown Santa Barbara has to offer. The house itself is so charming. It’s an older home that has been updated with features that still match the charm of the home but also make for a comfortable stay. The backyard space is so wonderful for families. 10/10 would stay here again!

This house has a moldy musty smell that does not go away when windows are open. The hosts admitted that the dirt under the house is damp. They have fans under there but thought maybe they were not working well. They told me this in an email whenI asked for help. (Which they did not give me.)There was also a moldy cutting board in the kitchen and inside the kitchen cabinets smelled moldy. We triple washed everything we used. We only stayed for two nights. Anymore would have been miserable. Lovely home and great location but uninhabitable until they clean it up!

We took this guests concern very seriously. We went down immediately and met with our housekeeping manager and had the cottage checked out. We also had the a/c ducts inspected after reading her review. There was no evidence of mold. We have over 250 reviews commending our clean property. The house is 100 years old, we love it and we take good care of it. We want our guests to be comfortable and in a safe environment. It is very important to us.

About the host

Hosted by Diane Connors

Host profile image

We live in Buellton, CA and have always dreamed of owning a home in Santa Barbara. We have recently retired and purchased and redid this wonderful cottage for us, our daughters, and our 8 grandchildren to use and enjoy. We love sailing off the California coast and feel so lucky when staying at Casa Capricho and being able to walk to the boat at the harbor.

Why they chose this property

We initially purchased our vacation cottage because one of our children was attending school in this location, but we quickly fell in love with this beautiful city and all of the cultural and outdoor activities that it offers.

What makes this property unique

We love the Spanish Colonial charm of our cottage, our private garden with orange trees and our quiet neighborhood. We especially love the fact that we can walk everywhere! We take daily walks along East and West Beaches to Shoreline Park or out on Stearns Wharf. We love to walk to our favorite restaurants, Brophy Brothers and Enterprise Fish Company. We often walk to the movie theaters on State Street or to the Farmer's Markets on Tuesdays and Saturdays. We walk to the Santa Barbara Sailing Center, where we can rent a sailboat by the hour or take whale watching cruises. We walk to our Athletic Club to work out, to East Beach to pay beach tennis or volley ball, or to West Beach for swimming or tennis. We often picnic at Shoreline Park. We love the proximity of Santa Barbara City College and the opportunity to take classes there. We also love all the cultural events offered at the Lobero and Granada Theaters and other venues accessible by foot. We enjoy the benefits of the activities of the Maritime Museum, the MOXY museum of science, and the Ronald Reagan Museum with all of their offerings and all within walking distance. It is truly a dream come true to spend time in this city.
