The house was great. I did not love the location when I arrived. Over the course of my stay there was someone parked in front of my house sleeping in their car. The houses across the street were run down. There was some kind of police raid in one of the homes on the block duing my stay. But the house itself and all its ammenties were great. Sofa had a bit of a wet dog smell so likely needs a good cleaning.

We loved our stay at the Classic Cottage, you can tell the owners really love the property and as a result it has a beautiful and very relaxing vibe. The home’s layout makes so many useable and enjoyable indoor and outdoor spaces. Great street and neighborhood as well. We have vacationed many years in Santa Barbara usually at hotels and this was better in every way! Santa Barbara Vacation Rentals also really do an exceptional job, everything was clean, set up perfectly and they were responsive and just very nice people to deal with. We will definitely be back!

I chose this home as my daughter was getting married in Santa Barbara on 5/6 and wanted to have me rent a home to get dressed and hair and makeup done for bridal party, myself and the groom’s mom. The home was exactly as it is pictured! It was just lovely! The guest house master was where my daughter stayed the night before wedding, and the morning of was wonderful! All 7 girls and hair, makeup and photographers, loved the home! The surfboards outside made a wonderful backdrop for pictures, and the guest master was perfect for “the grand reveal” to her bridesmaids. I would definitely stay here again!
Two things though:
1. The rug in front of the sink needs to be either replaced or just taken away. The sides are badly curled, and after being in the house only 10 minutes, my sister and I both tripped on it, so we took it away during our stayand replaced it this morning before we left.
2. The deck outside and lower patios were in dire need of blowing. Both areas were densely covered with the tree droppings. The front yard also needed to be cleaned up.. I did go ahead (after finding a leaf blower in shed), and went and cleaned both the backyard and front yard. I think the neighbors to the left thought I was the owner!
3. Lights on tree next to deck are all out with exception of the very bottom of the tree: lights that we’re supposed to illuminate surfboards at night were not working.
Otherwise we had a fabulous time and would recommend highly! If I’m ever back in Santa Barbara, I would love to stay there again!! Thank you!
Best,

This charming house and additional bedroom cottage was the perfect place to stay while visiting Santa Barbara to celebrate my mom’s birthday. She was thrilled with her darling cottage while my adult daughter and I stayed in the main house. We all loved the decor and everything was clean and fresh. I’d definitely stay here again on our next visit!

Great location on a quiet street for shopping and playground nearby. Dog and child friendly fenced yard. Well equipped kitchen. Updated home and all in working order. Windows need screens. Our stay in October with cool nights was fine without A/C. Room darkening shades would be a great addition. Will definitely plan to return. Lisa S. Edwards CO

We rented this home for a girls’ weekend. Pictures are very accurate. It was impeccably clean with 2 lovely bedrooms with large comfortable beds off the family room. Lovely coach house/bedroom with king bed and separate bath and very nice outdoor deck with nice furniture. Close to State Street and waterfront. Highly recommend this home for 3-4 people.

The house is really nice and comfortable. Beds are great too. The outside of the property could definitely use some cleaning up, lots of spider webs and leaves so it was hard to enjoy sitting outside. Also, I realize not a lot of homes have air conditioning in Santa Barbara but this house was extremely hot and there are no screens on the windows so there is no way to get fresh air or a cross breeze, something to consider if you plan on staying in the warmer months.

This was a wonderful house, with a picturesque front yard in a great neighborhood. The backyard was also great -- we had a dog and it was well fenced, with plenty of places to lounge, dine, and hang out. We are foodies, so the kitchen was perfect --well outfitted and easy for four people to work together. Gas bbq also served us well. Outside the main house, my husband and I stayed in the "surf shack" -- which was a great getaway. The management folks were super responsive and when temperatures rose over 100 degrees for several days, they delivered room fans. There is no central air conditioning -- so it was sweltering in the house on those days. We had to head to the movies or the beach each afternoon to cool down. That is really the only drawback of this wonderful property. We would stay here again in a heartbeat over the winter or spring months.

Wonderful Santa Barbara stay!
The house has everything you need for a short or long stay as you enjoy Santa Barbara and the surrounding area! It is perfect for a small family or sharing with friends. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. The outdoor space is so lovely and we found ourselves enjoying it every chance we got! The location is perfect for walking to coffee shops, restaurants, shops, etc. and just a short drive to downtown. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend!

Loved the very clean open little home. It was located on a sweet street a walk to the downtown area. Lovely back porch area to sit in the sun and hang out at.

This is the perfect property if you want to explore Santa Barbara and the surrounding area. The bungalow was in walking distance to the beach or the main area of SB’s restaurants and shops. The home itself was so comfortable for our group of 3 couples. It felt cozy and spotlessly clean. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and the bedding linens and towels were great also. Our favorite was the outdoor area… a patio with a big table for our happy hours and a deck with a nice couch and chairs to relax on. We have stayed in many rental homes, but this one will be at the top of our list of favorites.

SB Classic Cottage
The property was great, and the location was pretty convenient, just a bit of a long walk if you're going to the Funk Zone or beach area a lot.
One thing to be aware of is the cancellation policy listed on VRBO is different than what is in the paperwork they will ask you to sign afterwards, which I think is a bit shady. We ended up having another person that wanted to come on the trip with us that couldn't come because I was unable to cancel this reservation like I thought I could based on the VRBO listing, and we were already at max occupancy for this location. I guess I should have read all the fine print before I signed, but I assumed it would be the same information in both places.

We would definitely go back, however the main house shower did not drain very well so maybe that can be easily fixed. The jasmine outside smelled wonderful!
