Indulge in the luxury of hotel-like amenities, including pristine white linens, premium towels, soaps, and complimentary coffee and tea. Immerse yourself in the local charm with a mere 5-minute walk to Santa Barbara's finest coffee shops and restaurants, and a 10-minute stroll to Trader Joe's and CVS. The ideal retreat, offering serenity and seclusion, yet within walking distance of all your essential needs. Downtown Santa Barbara is a leisurely 30-minute walk away and you're less than a 10 minute drive from incredible Santa Barbara hiking. Nestled on the same property, our welcoming family includes myself, my husband, our vivacious 7-year-old son, and our charming 12-pound black and white Golden Doodle. We're always here to help if you need us but the Loquat is farther away from our home than our neighbors so you're sure to enjoy all the privacy and peacefulness that you need. Parking is on the street and you walk down the driveway past our house to the bottom of the driveway where the Loquat sits. It's the perfect cozy Santa Barbara home away from home. Utilities are included. Note: there is no AC at this rental.
