It was very nice to have the host Rodney greet us when we arrived to show us around the house. The house was really charming. Unfortunately, since we had wedding events to attend throughout the day, we didn't get much of an opportunity to enjoy the house as much as we would have liked. The beds were really comfortable, and that was the most important thing for us.

We were visiting to attend a family wedding. The house is very comfortable with everything you’ll need. Close to stores, restaurants, beach, downtown. The street is quiet and tree lined. Parking couldn’t be easier. Rodney was always available if we had a question or needed something. We will definitely return on our next trip.

We had the best time here! Great neighborhood which was close to many things (Starbucks, CVS, Trader Joes etc.), house was clean and has all the amenities listed. Our host Rodney was kind and welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Perfect place to stay for our best friend's wedding weekend. It felt so cozy and right at home. Highly recommend!

The house is lovely, well kept, very clean and quite homey... All the amenities are there and and it has a beautiful neighborhood in which to stroll around. Rodney met us when we checked and was very nice. The home feels very private and our stay was quite restful (and a much needed serene space to come home to during a wedding weekend!). Highly recommended by our family!

Cindy & Rodney are amazing hosts of their beautiful home. We loved how cozy each room felt! Cindy was very kind to help us set up the ironing board & laundry room as we prepared to attend a wedding in SB. Would absolutely visit again! Cheers, Donovan

We stayed here with a group of friends and we were SO impressed! The neighborhood is just as beautiful as the home is. The location is unbeatable and is so close to restaurants, shopping, groceries, etc. Rodney was a wonderful host as well! Unlike other homes where it feels so minimal that it’s hard to feel comfortable or “at home”, Rodney’s home is a welcoming and comfortable feel with so many personal touches.
Incredibly clean and wonderful amenities, I would recommend any group to stay here!

Could not have found a more precious neighborhood and home.
Graciously presented to guests.

This is a lovely home with an amazing, well stocked kitchen and great amenities (TV, streaming, wifi, etc.)
The owner, Rodney was extremely helpful and an excellent communicator!
My only cautionary note is that while this has has a "no pets" policy, the owners do have a dog and when not rented, the VRBO property is occupied by the owners and their dog. Except for a slight "pet smell" you wouldn't notice that a dog lives there, unless you are allergic, which I am.
Otherwise an excellent choice for your Santa Barbara stay!!

We visited Rodney’s house while we had wedding events all weekend. We also had our 15 month old with us who had specific nap times - and Rodney was so generous and flexible with check in and check out so we could get her naps in. He was friendly, helpful, and the house was so well stocked with everything we needed. We loved walking the neighborhood with our toddler and spending time out on the front lawn and back patio. We hope to visit again soon!

The house is perfect in every way - very clean with a well stocked kitchen, shampoo/conditioner/body soap in bathrooms, 2 rooms to sit and relax (living room and back room). This property exceeded our expectations. Rodney was a great host who we enjoyed conversing with.

Wonderful stay!
Wonderful stay! The property was an absolute delight. It was well managed, well maintained, and beautiful inside and out. This property easily accommodates three couples. Although we were two couples and one other single adult. There was plenty of room for everyone to enjoy togetherness as well as space for alone time We Would definitely come back when we’re in Santa Barbara again.

Family Wedding Trip
My family (my husband, son/wife/baby and daughter/husband) needed a place to stay over a long weekend for our niece’s wedding. This house was perfect! Such a lovely, quiet neighborhood, walking distance to everything fun in DB and. Dry close to wedding. We loved mornings and evenings where our kids and their spouses caught up and we enjoyed our granddaughter. House has everything we needed. I will say that having owners on property was not something we sought. But Rodney’s friend was friendly and helpful nonexistent for us. Thank you for sharing your house with us!

Family wedding
This was a perfect home for our family wedding stay in Santa Barbara. We were able to relax, enjoy the beautiful neighborhood, and explore the town. Our hosts were available to answer questions prior to our visit which allowed us to plan ahead. We would highly recommend this beautiful property.

Beautiful home with the right touches
Our family stayed here for our twins’ graduation from UCSB. We are Italian, so we were more than impressed with the amount of kitchen and cooking utensils. There is everything you need to bake, cook, and prep. This is a safe neighborhood and the people living there are a delight! Excellent communication with the owner and his assistant. This is a beautiful and historic home with many cool additions. All furniture is comfortable, and the library was a welcome sight.
A few notes for people who may stay here: you won’t have access to the driveway as there are cars coming and going throughout the day, but there is a decent amount of street parking. You have to ask for A/C units to be connected- there are fans though. Also there are some rules, but they are common sense - just be a good guest and treat it like your home. Finally, there are plenty of cleaning materials, and if you are a coffee person, there is a French press, grinder, Keurig, and pods.
Suggestions for the owners: stemless wine glasses, and larger drinking glasses, and mugs would be an added comfort. Also, laundry access is desired.
Thanks Rodney for a great stay.
