"I visit family in the Santa Barbara area regularly during the Winter and always look forward to my stays in this comfortable and perfectly located cottage. The property is set back off the city street in it's own private garden setting surrounded by lovely trees and landscaping. It is completely fenced which is great for my dog that travels with me. I enjoy sitting out on the sunny front porch to do work or just enjoy the peaceful setting. The house is always wonderfully clean and has a large kitchen, very comfortable beds, high speed internet and even a hot tub. Wendy is an exceptional host and is always available to answer questions or take care of any additional needs. The location is very central and just minutes by car to my favorite dog beach, downtown, the funk zone, or the mission/rose garden. Whether you are on extended business or just looking for an escape, this cottage is a great option!"
