When we recently changed property managers our prior reviews were lost, but here is what some guests have said about our home: - “Perfect location! The house is larger than the picture indicates” - “They have thought of everything—kitchen supplies, plush robes, etc. Could not have been happier” - “The house kept cool in the day time and the beds were all very nice” - “The house was absolutely perfect. We were able to sleep everyone comfortably and we made good use of the bbq and kitchen. - “Great location within easy walking distance to State Street.” - “The house is a beautiful Victorian and furnished nicely” - “Everything was VERY CLEAN” - “This was a great location. We especially liked the back patio and front porch swing. One thing to note is there are no bathrooms upstairs.” - “Would book again!” - “Gorgeous house. Really lovely and comfortably furnished. My friends and I wished we could have stayed longer.” - “We loved our stay here. It’s a quiet location close to downtown. Would stay again 10/10.” - “My Avon teammates and I stayed at the house. It was very comfortable and had enough space so we weren’t tripping over each other. The back yard was a great place to chill and chat over a glass of wine. I would definitely stay here again.” - “A great family house. Plenty of room for our family of 5 and my sister with her family of 4. …the upstairs space with beds and tv was great for the kids. My teens don’t like to share beds so the twin beds upstairs were perfect.”

We had a fantastic trip to SB for our annual girls trip! We walked and rode bikes everywhere and didn't need our cars! The home is older and we loved the charm. Thanks for a great stay!

We really enjoyed staying here. Plenty of very comfortable beds for everyone. Large kitchen and living room. Nice upgraded bathroom. We were able to walk everywhere in town. Overall great property.
We stayed at this house for our annual Mom’s getaway and enjoyed it very much. Great location, we were able to walk to State Street for dinner every night. Very clean, we felt safe, and very comfortable beds. No bathroom upstairs which might be difficult with kids/families but was fine for our group. Thanks for a great stay.

Had a fabulous stay here for my 50th with my mom and aunts. It was within walking distance to great shopping, coffee shops and the Farmers Market. We also went on a cruise to the Channel Islands which was just a 40 minute drive to the harbor. Spent some time at the Santa Barbara pier on a Sunday and enjoyed the art walk. Great location, great hosts , plenty of room for 5 of us. Loved the extra touches like the bottle of wine and great soaps.
We stayed at the house for our annual family vacation. Terrific location in walking distance of shops and restaurants. Great house. It was well stocked and very clean. Quiet neighborhood too. Thank you.
