I’m sad that we only stayed for two nights because this space really felt like a home away from home! We were in town to visit family and attend a wedding and we were very comfortable. We appreciated the double sinks in the main bathroom, that was so helpful! Rodney and Cindy were amazing hosts!

Great Family Stay

Our family of 6 was in Santa Barbara for a family wedding. This was a perfect house and location for us. House is well maintained and Rodney was a very gracious host and we enjoyed spending some time talking and learning about the area. If we ever get back to the area would definitely stay there again!

Beautiful, charming home and neighborhood. Close to State Street. Plenty of room to spread out. It is a private home and not suitable for small children if they are climbers and curious! Lots of nice "things" out.
