Santa Barbara/Goleta Suite with Private Entrance

QiRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This Airbnb is located in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Having lived in Santa Barbara for over four years, I can confidently say the location is perfect. You’ll be staying with a family, but the guest room is private, with its own entrance separate from the main areas of the house. The room itself is spacious and clean. Overall, this was a great place to stay, and I would definitely consider returning the next time I visit.

Peaceful Garden Studio For Low-Key Guests & Pets

GigiRating, 5 stars1 month ago

I was looking for a peaceful retreat to stay at for Mother's Day weekend and couldn't have picked a better place! Beautiful, quiet neighborhood ~ lovely filtered light patio off the studio that was perfect in the evenings and early morning coffee:) I had a wonderful stay in Santa Barbara and was glad I came across this lovely homestyle getaway. I originally had only planned for a couple of nights, but found it so restful that I decided to extend through one more night. Highly recommend!

Stunning House in the Woods!

KendallRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This was such a cute place to stay in! I was visiting California for the first time and this place is only 8 minutes from the beach and 5 minutes from restaurants! It had plenty of room and the kitchen was well stocked with anything you need for cooking! The hosts were very kind and responded immediately if we had any questions or concerns! The property is also so cool with the chickens! We will definitely be staying with them again!

Charming 2 Bed with Kitchenette, Pet friendly!

Lee AnnRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

As a dog owner I really appreciate having access to a green space for my dog to use. If I may suggest putting some lighting in the backyard for night time use then this place would be perfect. Overall we’re very much satisfied with our stay and highly recommend it. The neighborhood is great too. Would stay here again!

Pinecone Cottage

Mary AnnRating, 5 stars4 days ago

It is a beautiful, quiet, private setting located 15 minutes drive from UCSB. I recommend you check where the cottage is located with daylight as the GPS directions from 101 North can be a bit confusing, especially at night. Having a kitchen in the cottage is definitively a plus, though some items needed for cooking are needed, such as a cutting board and lids for the pot and pan. The bedroom has a queen, soft mattress bed, and there is storage space. The shower in the bathroom has an adjustable head and provides hot and cold water. A shower cap might be needed for short people if you want to keep hair dry. There are also additional amenities such as games, books, puzzles, and a TV. Definitively a nice place to stay! And Will, the host, is very responsive and accommodating. I’d come back.

Yurt in Goleta

The Sky Yurt

TrevorRating, 5 stars3 days ago

My wife and I spent the weekend at Amanda's Sky Yurt and we had a fantastic time! The location couldn't be better with the most beautiful view of the ocean. Amanda was such an amazing host, she was friendly, communicative and gave us great suggestions for our day trip to Solvang (where her farm stall sells amazing goat milk soaps and moisturizers!). The yurt had two plate gas cooker, well water, crockery and cutlery, as well as salt, pepper and oil. At the time we visited, there wasn't electricity, but that was listed in the information, so we were prepared for that. We brought our own solar showers, but Amanda mentioned showers were available at the farm. Open flames are not allowed in the area, so no camp fires are allowed, but there is a small charcoal BBQ that is provided. We cant' wait to visit again!
