Santa Barbara Splendor!

We had a great stay. Property is perfectly located on east side. Walking distance to Santa Barbara beaches and Montecito restaurants/shops. Setup had everything we needed for 9 day stay. Full kitchen, bbq, separate bedroom, very large open area for living room/kitchen and a super quiet neighborhood. Would stay again when in area.

Relaxing ocean breezes, views, plenty of space

We loved Jill's vrbo. It was open, plenty pf space, confortable, very clean, and about 45 minute nice walk to the beach, boardwalk etc- Jill responded to my numerous questions, requests, clarifications- kind and respectful. We would be lucky to stay here again.

Really Great!

Jill's place is super clean, roomy and comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked...LOTS of spices. Nice back patio and front deck area with beautiful views of the ocean and sunset (maybe sunrise too, not sure as we weren't up that early). Really comfy bed too. Such a nice quiet neighborhood. Our stay (4 nights in October) was great!

We liked the location of the cottage within a quiet neighbourhood. We liked that it is cosy and clean inside with nice views from the windows. The kitchen is equipped with everything needed. Only the pots were quite old.

Wonderful location

Guest cottage located near Montecito (affluent ritzy area of Santa Barbara). Owner (Jill) was very responsive. Cottage had everything we needed during our stay, no complaints. King bed was very comfortable. Insides can get warm during the day, but natural A/C of the Santa Barbara ocean breeze will cool it down quickly. Nights can be a bit on the cool side, but I did see an electric blanket in the closet (did not use myself). Washer & dryer in the garage were very convenient.

Amazing and reasonable penthouse 2 blocks to beach!!

Just like it says, amazing penthouse, quiet and nicely appointed with a terrific kitchen and gray bathtub. Also has a washer and dryer. Quiet and private stayed here for 6 nights, have been in probably 7 or 8 Vrbo properties over the last month in staying here in Santa Barbara and there’s always something, a nosy host, dogs barking, general noisinees, but not this penthouse! Just lucked out because also, Melanie the owner is just too cool for words and at the same time she’s very professional. Have paid so much more here in Santa Barbara for so much less, thanks so much Melanie!!!

Absolutely charming!

This place is lovely, and the host, Jill, is super helpful and responsive! The king bed is very comfortable, as are the couch and chairs on the back deck. The many large windows (with almost complete privacy) allowed me to watch the sunset every night from anywhere inside the living/kitchen area. Everything is labeled, with clear instructions for the TV and all else. Closer to Montecito village than Santa Barbara, but even SB is only 10 minutes away. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again and almost didn't want to write this review, just so I could book it without y'all clamoring and blocking my future stays. Enjoy!

A little piece of paradise on the East Side

The open windows and doors let the breeze flow through. The mockingbird wooed me, and I coveted the lemons on the next-door neighbor's tree just over the fence. The place was peaceful, clean, and extremely comfortable for 5 days. The bed was very comfortable. We didn't cook, but the kitchen had everything we would need if we had. The bathroom was equipped, including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, blow dryer, and lots of towels. Great communication with Jill. We spent a lot of time on the back patio looking up at the birds swooping here and there. Recommend this place. One note is that you can hear the freeway, but it's worth it for everything else this beauty provides.

NOT AS GOOD AS WE HAD EXPECTED

CHECK-IN TIME IS 4 PM. WE ARRIVED AT 4:30 AND OUR UNIT WAS NOT READY ( USED SHEETS AND TOWELS WERE PILLED ON FLOOR). WHEN NOTIFIED THE OWNER AND SHE FOUND OUT THAT THE HOUSECLEANING CREW HAD CLEANED THE WRONG UNIT. SHE SUGGESTED THAT WE DRIVE AROUND FOR AN HOUR OR SO. THEY DID A GOOD JOB IN CLEANING OUR UNIT AND WE FINALLY GOT ACCESS AT 5:55. WE LEARNED THAT THE OWNER, JILL WAS OUT OF TOWN. HER FRIEND TONI WAS HELPFUL AND SAID THEY WERE SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. THE UNIT IS SPACIOUS AND WELL STOCKED (GOOD QUALITY & QUANTITY). IT HAS LOTS OF WINDOWS WITH A NICE VIEW. THE NICE TALL SHOWER WAS A BONUS. USING THE TV WAS CHALLENGING. WE SUGGEST THAT AN INSTRUCTION SHEET BE PROVIDED IN THE FUTURE > SPECIFYING WHICH REMOTE TO USE AND WHICH CABLE INPUT TO SELECT. IN CONCLUSION, THE LOCATION WAS GOOD AND OVERALL WE HAD A NICE STAY.

Great location, close to Santa Barbara and Montecito. Avoid the traffic!

We loved staying here. It was quiet and comfortable. They have a very comfortable king bed in the bedroom. The room tended to be cold, but the quilt was very warm and we did not mind. The kitchen is very well stocked. They have a great desk for someone who needs to work. The location allows you to stay off the freeway which we loved.

Scenic Cottage

Jill's place was the perfect mini getaway for us. Tucked away enough for peace and relaxation but not so much that food and entertainment are just a short trip away. Check-in was easy and Jill was easily reachable should we need anything but the home was equipped with everything we needed and easy instructions to get to them.

Comfy and Spacious

This unit gives you most of the comforts of home. All you need is a trip to the grocery store to really settle in. But think twice before booking during hot weather as there is no AC and it can be downright miserable during the heat of the day. The host is very accommodating and responsive.
