Such a great location, out of the way of everything, it still so close. It felt very secluded and romantic, but State street was just 10 minutes away, no matter the time of day.

What a lovely restful property! Very quiet with gorgeous views. The kitchen was great. The owners had just installed a new sink and stove. We took advantage of Santa Barbara’s great organic grocery stores and made delicious dinners which we ate outside as the sun set. The stay was just what the doctor ordered.
