Cozy home worth the stay!

The place was cozy and spacious, with plenty of towels provided and well-thought-out amenities that made the stay comfortable. I especially enjoyed how close it was to lots of shops and restaurants. There was a brief power outage during my stay, but it didn’t last long and didn’t affect my overall experience. Would definitely recommend!

Engagement weekend

We stayed at this property with 7 adults and 1 dog for a surprise engagement weekend for one of my daughters. It was the perfect home for our family. It had plenty of space for games and hanging out. The backyard was great for a sunny day. We played games of corn hole, cards and relaxed in the hot tub. Thank you Rick for helping us have an awesome weekend!

Our family really enjoyed staying at this home. Four very large bedrooms, lots of space to spread out, beautiful outdoor pool area and hot tub. Couldn’t ask for a better location or getaway spot. When we come back to the Santa Barbara area, we will look to see if this is available for sure.
