Our stay was absolutely lovely! The property manager was very communicative and gave us all the information we needed. The Digital Guide they shared had absolutely everything - it answered all of our questions. This was fabulous, thank you for the hospitality!

Thank you so much! It's great to know the location suited your needs well being within reach of activities and downtown. :-)
The space at this house is absolutely wonderful. We had the best time just relaxing and hanging out by the pool. The weather was absolutely wonderful - we were visiting from the Midwest. Michelle was extremely fast with communication and made sure we had all the details we needed prior to our arrival so we were able to relax from the moment we got there.

Thank you. We're so glad your group had a great time. :-) Give us a call when you're ready for another retreat! Maybe it's a reason to do reunions more often!
We were visiting Santa Barbara to attend a funeral, along with my siblings and their grown children. There was plenty of space to spread around, and the main casita was home base for the evening and breakfast. The outdoor amenities were a huge plus, and it felt like a private oasis. The owner lives nearby and was attentive to any needs and requests.

Our volleyball team had a wonderful weekend of team bonding and a comfortable stay that allowed them to rest and compete on the volleyball court.

Thank you so much! We're so glad your team enjoyed the home and your stay here. :-) Congrats champs!
Great place to stay for a large group. The owner was great and personable. Michelle was very responsive to questions. The only thing I think would improve the stay is getting the area sprayed for bugs. The Casitas next to the pool had some bugs that got in.

Ideal family gathering place
We really enjoyed our stay which provided the ideal familial gathering place. The communal setting, well kept grounds, beautiful views, pool and spa were excellent amenities for our water friendly family. The property manager, Michelle, and owner, Eddie, provided excellent customer service. We strongly recommend this property and appreciate the quick response to any questions we had.

Beautiful property with plenty of room for my family, my brother’s family and his extended family. Everyone enjoyed the pool and hot tub plus amble chairs for outdoor lounging. Well equipped for cooking as well rec activities—the ping pong table was pretty much in continuous use.

Great house for Mom's trip!
I organized a mom's wine tasting weekend in Santa Barbara and booked this property with Michelle. What a great find! It was quiet yet 10 minutes from Santa Barbara and had PLENTY of space for 14 moms! We really enjoyed our trip and working with Michelle. Would highly recommend this property for other large groups!

Mom's with wine sounds pretty fun! We're glad you enjoyed your stay. It's been a pretty tense few years...maybe it's time for another wine party? :-)
The property is stunning and can accommodate a big group. The 4 separate villas allow for privacy and feels like you’re staying at a resort. Michelle was easy to communicate with and responded in a timely manner. The digital welcome guide was a nice touch, and convenient if we had questions about the property. I hope to rent this property again.
