Great place to stay

This was a very comfortable house for our extended family of 3 generations with the youngest members being 4 and 6. There were multiple outdoor seating areas for eating or just hanging out in the sun. This is our second stay here and will certainly return in the future.

Roomy, great location, all amenitites

We stayed with a group of five friends. The house was beautiful, well appointed and had everything we needed. It's in a very quiet neighborhood but still close enough to walk to where ever we needed to go. Highly recommended!

Love love loved!

Great location for getting to downtown and a quick walk to the beach! Property was super comfortable for our two families (4 adults and 2 kids under 4) and felt quite private. Outdoor space was lovely and private as well. Would love to return!

Wonderful home in a sweet neighborhood

We loved Sunny's house and would definitely return. It's well-furnished, had plenty of space for our foursome, was clean, and the kitchen was well-provisioned. It's a great home base for exploring Santa Barbara and beyond. Recommend!

Great Property and Hosts

The home is much more spacious than we thought from looking at it online and has a great sitting area and deck off the main bedroom. You can walk to Leadbetter Beach in 10-12 minutes and the downtown State Area and the Funk Zone are only a 5-7 minute drive. We plan to stay again when we are in Santa Barbara!

Thanksgiving Beach Get-Away

Lovely house and yard - perfect for a quiet weekend getaway with husband and dog. Short walk to beach. Fenced in yard was great so dog could sniff around while we sat outside on porch. Fireplace was wonderful for chilly November evenings. Loved all the skylights too.

We were in Santa Barbara for my son's wedding and needed space to accommodate our family. This house was everything we hoped for and more! So charming, with plenty of room for everyone and lovely gardens. It's close to beach and walking paths and convenient to downtown. We hope to return!

Perfect place to stay in Santa Barbara

This cozy cottage was perfect for our family of 6. The house is so unexpectedly adorable with so many picture-perfect details, like all the skylights, french doors, and beautiful patios, & outdoor plants! There was plenty of room, privacy, & everything we needed! We walked down to the beach several times. The location was perfect. We found plenty of quaint coffee shops and restaurants close by with Savoy being our favorite!

Enjoyable Stay in Santa Barbara

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. All is exactly as described in the listing. The house itself is charmingly quirky and well equipped. The location is excellent - walkable to the beach and a quick drive downtown. We especially appreciated the free onsite parking which can be hard to come by in Santa Barbara. The lack of air conditioning was not a problem for us as we found the evenings to be cool and comfortable. The host is very responsive and we would not hesitate to recommend.

Just what we wanted

From the start of booking everything was great. Communication was perfect. The house was exactly what we were looking for. We had 2 families and the way the rooms and bathrooms are spaced was perfect. The house is located in the best location to get to everything. When we visit Santa Barbara again we will be seek out this rental again.
