Cottage vacation rentals in Santa Barbara

We had a wonderful stay at Dana’s place! The cottage was decorated wonderfully, was extremely clean and had everything we needed for a terrific stay! Would definitely recommend to others and would definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay at Rachel’s! There was ample space for our family of 4. Rachel and Brandon did everything they could to make us feel at home, including providing restaurant recommendations and ordering our kids toys for the sand! We had the best time!

The cutest perfect getaway spot!! We didn't want to leave. 5 minute drive to some really great restaurants and shopping. Stunning hiking trails not too far of a walk or a quick drive away. 10/10 recommend if you're looking for a weekend escape!!

We had a wonderful time and loved the house! It was extremely clean and well-outfitted. We would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a lovely home in a beautiful location!

We enjoyed our stay at this very cute and cozy cottage. It was a very peaceful location and close by a beautiful Walking trail. It had all of the amenities, and we especially enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub in the evening.

Great cottage! Had an awesome weekend on Bath Street. Place was very clean and the outside yard was very relaxing to hang out and nicely fenced for pets. Great location close enough to walk to the Bowl, State Street, Beach, etc.

What a peaceful place tucked in a quiet hilltop full of nature surroundings. Absolutely no traffic/people noise and lots darkness with an incredible view when the fog rolls away. It blew our minds! A perfect base of operations for a week stay with all we needed and the host right next door (over a private gate) which was helpful when we had a few needs that he responded quickly and kindly. We were impressed how close we were to things even though it felt like we were far, far away. We cannot wait to stay there again! Note to those that drive a Tesla, do NOT use the car gps/maps. It won’t get you there in a direct route. Use Google maps. Plan at least one evening to enjoy the night sky from the hot tub and deck with fire table and grill. It’s not to be missed.

Amazing location. Super cozy. The farm was the highlight. Waking up to the chickens was something else. The hot tub was great. The bedrooms were super cozy. I’d 10/10 recommend. Loved hanging with the goats

This is our 3rd time staying at Joseph & Kelly’s place! It is always a pleasure! They make you feel right at home and are willing to help with any need! We love this place and plan to return very soon!

You will never stay in an Airbnb as beautiful or with a host as accommodating. Fari and Nina set the bar for what an Airbnb experience should be. Upon arrival we were greeted by Fari and his lovely wife Nina and made to feel immediately at home. We were lost for words for how beautiful both the location was and also the quality of the property's finish and all of it's contents (the kitchen is better equipped than our kitchen at home!) Fari went the extra mile to ensure we had the most enjoyable trip and were treated like family, as opposed to tenants, throughout the whole stay - whilst also ensuring we had all the privacy we needed. Fari ensured we felt settled in Malibu - providing local expertise and guidance to all the wonderful hiking trails and flora & fauna in the area and showing us the sites. Not forgetting the best daily smoothies! We are truly grateful to both Fari and Nina for having us at their home, and leave feeling like we've gained new friends for life. Until next time

Our stay here was quick, but just what we were looking for—peaceful and quiet. Our family of six stayed, and one reason we chose it was because each of our four kids would have their own bed. No pillow barriers needed haha. Speaking of beds, these were the *most* comfortable ones we’ve used at an AirBnB. The space was comfy, inviting, and super cool. We loved looking at all the music industry memorabilia, too; what a neat legacy for Michele to share with her AirBnB guests! One thing to note: the place is a converted garage so it is cooled and heated with a mini-split. It wasn’t turned on when we got there, and we wish it had been because it was a pretty cold, drizzly night (December) and took a long time to heat up. So if you stay here, maybe request that it be turned on in advance of your arrival. I’m sure the property management wouldn’t mind at all because they were nothing but accommodating and welcoming. Our big family felt lucky to find this place to stay while in the area.

Jonah is responsive and reliant, and I’m so glad to have booked his gem of a home! I highly recommend all of his listings as he is usually nearby and always willing to help. I stayed in the retreat/cottage and it was great! It is just minutes away from Solvang (about 6 miles) which was a plus. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway.

We had a magical weekend retreat at Jennifer’s Glass House. It was so peaceful, the unique architecture was perfect for taking in the sights and sounds of nature—the view from inside the Glass House was jaw dropping. Jennifer was so sweet, welcoming, and helpful. The bed was supremely comfortable and the bedding had a luxe feel. There were thoughtful places to sit, swing, or lie down throughout the property. While the kitchen is more limited, we were able to cook everything we needed, making food outdoors was divine. The bathrooms were spotless, if a bit of a walk to take in the middle of the night (but no different from other glamping facilities). We were lucky to have the entire Grove area to ourselves so it was especially comfortable as we didn’t have to navigate around other occupants. Loved the pool and hot tub area, a really charming experience. Overall it’s the perfect place for a quiet retreat off-grid, to recharge in an ideal glamping situation. We can’t wait to be back.

Debra was such an amazing host!! She took my friends and I in during the fire evacuations in LA and was so helpful during our entire stay. She brought us fresh eggs from her friend's farm and gave us great recommendations for places to explore in the area. The cabin was so cute and cozy, we all felt so at home! Thank you Debra!!

By far the BEST Airbnb I’ve stayed at. I don’t often leave reviews, but I will do so if my stay and experience has been outstanding. Felicity’s space did not disappoint. Her communication was prompt and she was able to accommodate me at a time of need and at a moment’s notice. What a tranquil, peaceful and AMAZING getaway if you’re looking to get out of the city or just want a cozy mountain cabin to suit your lifestyle. This space is beyond words. The cabin was clean, fully stocked and so comfortable and flat out GORGEOUS. Felicity is one of the most amazing humans I’ve ever met. She is also a professional quilter and if you get a chance to meet her and see her designs, you will be blown away. The room at the cozy quail is exactly as described - COZY with quails abound. Quiet and peaceful. Hands down, some of the best nights’ sleep I’ve had in years. The cabin’s theme matches that of the forest and mountain range of the locale. You would not believe her taste and fine details and touches. Felicity - I cannot express enough how on point you are as an Airbnb hostess...you know all the local spots, trails to hike and are so knowledgeable of mountain life in general - something that was new to me as a city girl. I wish you all the best and I can’t wait to bring Travis up to meet you. I will definitely reserve again when the time is right - and I look forward to that quilt girlie as soon as the timing is right for us both. YOU ARE AMAZING and thank you for everything! - xoxo - Kim (Los Angeles, Ca) <3

This place was exactly as described and exactly what I was looking for . Anne has really gone out of the way to make this a truly charming get away retreat. Already planning my next trip back. Thank You Anne.

We really enjoyed the pretty garden setting and relaxed and read outdoors. Will was very accommodating and responded quickly when I had a question. We ate at his restaurant that was on the premises and it was excellent, both food and service!

Wonderful stay at this charming cottage. The road by this place has an amazing view of the water. The place was neat and clean. Aidan was very responsive and made sure our stay was comfortable. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone planning to stay in Santa Barbara.

We loved staying at Camp Cottonwood — from the charming design to the lovely garden, to the very convenient proximity to town (specifically Bells) it was a great place to stay for the long weekend. Look forward to staying here again on a future visit to Los Alamos!

This was a 10/10 stay. The cottage was absolutely magical and Ronald and Elle were very flexible, communicative and thoughtful. The cottage is bright, cozy and the perfect place to stay. Fresh flowers and lemons as well as water and some toast for breakfast. :) Definitely book your stay here if you are in the area! Would come back for sure.

Hummingbird Cottage is adorable. The bed was so comfortable and the sound of the fountain was soothing. The house is very small, so not suited to someone really tall. Our daughter stayed in the treehouse and loved it. The location was great for catching the boat to the Channel Islands.

Second time staying at this house, and just as great as the first time. Fabulous location, comfortable, and extremely well-stocked. Great for our two kids--6 and 9--too. A wonderful experience.

This house is perfect! Great layout and beautifully designed. We felt like we were at home the second we walked thru the door. Has all the basic amenities that you need (and more). One block from the beach and harbor. PERFECT in every way.
