Cousins' Reunion

Our stay at Carey and Marty's home couldn't have been more delightful and comfortable. We especially enjoyed sitting in their beautiful garden. Thanks to two great hosts!

Couldn’t have been better!

Beautiful tranquil house and gardens. Beach and nature trails in walking distance. Thoughtful details made for a feeling of hospitality and comfort. A great experience in every way. We’d love to come back again and again.

Property is in direct flight path for SBA. Didn’t see this annotated in the listing, maybe I missed it. A few nights planes would be flying around over in the middle of the night, like after midnight. Property was very spacious and accommodating for us.

This home was a dream to stay in! Beautiful garden property was so serene and relaxing. Very spacious house with lots of areas to hang out in. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt like we were in our little world. Perfect location to get to other places of interest within a 15-20 min drive. Our group enjoyed the hot tub after sight seeing all day. The host was very communicative and pleasant. I would gladly stay at this property again. Only thing of note is the proximity to the airport and the fact that you do hear planes on a regular basis. But that’s such a minor detail that is quickly forgotten with the fact that the property is perfection.

About the host

Hosted by Carey Uhler

Host profile image
My husband and I have been hosting on Airbnb with tons of good reviews for 12 years.. We just signed up for VRBO so no reviews yet. We enjoy gardening and landscaping our home to create a retreat like setting. We love traveling mainly to visit our grandkids.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy our peaceful neighborhood with a 10 minute walk to the beach and a beautiful hike around a nature preserve.

What makes this property unique

The garden home is accessible to stores and shops, 10 minute drive to Santa Barbara, but feels like it’s out and away from the busyness of the town.
