Charming home/Great location

We loved this charming Spanish colonial home! The decor is lovely and the owner has thought of every detail to make your stay comfortable. The yard is quiet and beautiful - perfect for lazy reading afternoons or just listening to the birds and eating an orange picked fresh off of the tree. The location is perfect - walking distance to the beach and the many great restaurants and shops in Santa Barbara. Off street parking is an additional amenity.

Wonderful stay!

We enjoyed a beautiful weekend in Santa Barbara at this wonderful property! The house is quintessential Santa Barbara...charmingly decorated and beautifully landscaped. You can't beat the location!The house is located on a quiet street and is within easy walking distance to the beach, excellent restaurants, the Funk Zone, and State Street. There are several outdoor sitting areas that we couldn't enjoy due to rain, but that would be lovely to enjoy with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine in warmer weather. We loved our stay at this property.

Great house & location

We had a really nice time at this lovely home. It was very comfortable and a great location. We really enjoyed the backyard with the orange tree and having fresh squeezed orange juice every morning. Diane gave us some great recommendations and we tried most of them. Our favorite was dinner at Oku on Cabrillo at sunset on the upper patio. We also enjoyed whale watching and walking up and down State Street and breakfast at the marina. We had a great weekend and can highly recommend Diane and her home.

New Years tradition!

We come to Santa Barbara every year for New Years (UCSB grads classes of ‘99 and ‘05!). We discovered Diane’s house three years ago and it’s been so nice to bring our young children down to stay- the house is cozy and clean and it has been a game changer not having to drive everywhere. Diane and Don are lovely and responsive and go above and beyond to help the family get settled.

Can't wait to return

We felt at home from the moment we arrived! Unexpectedly, the orange tree in the yard was a huge hit. We had fresh juice every morning. The house was so comfortable! It was really conveniently located and could walk to dinner every night. We were there to visit UCSB for our daughter. Now that she has committed to attending there, I hope to use this house when we go to visit her. Thank you!

Our stay was fabulous! The location couldn’t be better - totally walkable to everything downtown Santa Barbara has to offer. The house itself is so charming. It’s an older home that has been updated with features that still match the charm of the home but also make for a comfortable stay. The backyard space is so wonderful for families. 10/10 would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Diane Connors

Host profile image
We live in Buellton, CA and have always dreamed of owning a home in Santa Barbara. We have recently retired and purchased and redid this wonderful cottage for us, our daughters, and our 8 grandchildren to use and enjoy. We love sailing off the California coast and feel so lucky when staying at Casa Capricho and being able to walk to the boat at the harbor.

Why they chose this property

We initially purchased our vacation cottage because one of our children was attending school in this location, but we quickly fell in love with this beautiful city and all of the cultural and outdoor activities that it offers.

What makes this property unique

We love the Spanish Colonial charm of our cottage, our private garden with orange trees and our quiet neighborhood. We especially love the fact that we can walk everywhere! We take daily walks along East and West Beaches to Shoreline Park or out on Stearns Wharf. We love to walk to our favorite restaurants, Brophy Brothers and Enterprise Fish Company. We often walk to the movie theaters on State Street or to the Farmer's Markets on Tuesdays and Saturdays. We walk to the Santa Barbara Sailing Center, where we can rent a sailboat by the hour or take whale watching cruises. We walk to our Athletic Club to work out, to East Beach to pay beach tennis or volley ball, or to West Beach for swimming or tennis. We often picnic at Shoreline Park. We love the proximity of Santa Barbara City College and the opportunity to take classes there. We also love all the cultural events offered at the Lobero and Granada Theaters and other venues accessible by foot. We enjoy the benefits of the activities of the Maritime Museum, the MOXY museum of science, and the Ronald Reagan Museum with all of their offerings and all within walking distance. It is truly a dream come true to spend time in this city.
