Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Santa Barbara

Raymond was the best host I ever had. He was so accommodating with our early check in and offered a late check out which was so kind. Raymond was so responsible to all my questions and requests. Raymond’s house is located at a great location. We can walk to the beach, walk to the restaurants and markets and his house is also located close to the downtown and the train station. My friends and I loved staying at Raymond’s. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean and we loved the neighborhood. We would love to come back.

What a magical getaway! The house is adorable and very well stocked with quality supplies. Our kids (8 and 5) loved exploring the beautiful yard and we all slept soundly. Walking to butterfly beach and the coast village shops was just the best. Can’t wait to return!

Great location for us. The bed was very comfortable. The room comes with all the details shown and then some. Plenty of outlets. Lizzy’s detailed instructions were very helpful. Easy to find and convenient.

Place is super cozy and tastefully decorated. Free of clutter and felt right at home. Natty provided welcome drinks in the fridge and chocolates. Would definitely recommend staying here. Very peaceful and quiet. We especially loved the very serene outdoor space. Super easy to get to and very close to Montecito downtown. Enjoyed our stay very much. A big thank you to Natty for being a such gracious host.

Great location, walking distance to the Douglas Preserve and only 5-10 minutes to the downtown area. Teddy was an awesome host - responsive, friendly, provided great recommendations. House provided high chair and pack n play which lightened our packing. Would definitely stay again!

We stayed at Matt & Robin's place for a long weekend with my parents and our young toddler and had a fantastic time! The place was perfectly suited for spending a lot of time there and entertaining a small kid. The house's minimal design and small details like rounded corners on furniture made it super easy for our son to navigate the space. We all LOVED the private, lush backyard. We actually had all our meals outside and spent our evenings playing on the lawn. The beach and nearby coastal park is easily walkable through this nice, upscale neighborhood. There was a playground in the park about 15 minutes of walking and the beach right there too. We'd love to come back some time!

Great location, easy access to beaches, downtown. Comfy king sized bed. Take advantage of the fresh eggs, they were delicious. The unit is an extension of a family home but has a private entrance and feels separate. Hot tub, garden and sauna are part of a shared space with the host

Everything was great - cozy cottage. One thing that could be better is having screens on the windows so you could have them open at night - there were bugs coming in! Location is great, no complaints otherwise.

Incredible Airbnb, my friends and I were very pleased. Super great location and neighborhood as well. Very peaceful, clean and had everything we needed.

Extremely friendly and quick response! Room was just what I needed. Nice and clean.

Our stay in Santa Barbara was very enjoyable. The location of the Airbnb was excellent because of the proximity to State Street and all that it offers. Although the apartment was quite small, it functioned well. The coffee was absolutely delicious and boxed water much appreciated! The bed was soft and the bedding lovely. The apartment is on a relatively busy street but at night it was extremely quiet. I'm usually sensitive to noises at night but for the two nights we were there, I slept extremely well, as did my husband. The cost of the apartment was steep but it seems like every place in Santa Barbara was expensive. I definitely would recommend the apartment if you want to be near State Street.

Excellent communication from the host. Place was very clean and nicely appointed. Had a great stay.

Very much appreciated Alex’s great communication and instructions. The place is a bit small but very charming and clean with a gate and private parking. Easy walk to the beach and some shops!

We had a great time at Landon & Evie’s place in Ventura! We stayed one night and hope to stay longer next time! Apartment was very nice and as described! Great location and walking distance to Main Street , restaurants , coffee , bars and beach! Place was clean, spacious and very comfortable! Apartment building was very quiet and peaceful! Landon & Evie were friendly, accommodating , welcoming and had great communication! We love Ventura and are exited to find a great place to stay when we are visiting! Thank you Landon & Evie for letting us stay at your special place!

Austin had great communication from the start and really easy check-in and check-out process. The space was clean, welcoming and had everything we needed. It was perfect for the 4 of us cozy space to regroup after our conference everyday - to eat around a table and chill out at night. We'd definitely stay there again!

Cathy’s place is a gem! Beautiful and in a peaceful location. We were able to walk everywhere. Will definitely stay here again when visiting Santa Barbara.

This was probably the most favorite Airbnb I have booked thus far. Truly the cutest little apartment in Ventura. It was extremely walkable, and I thought the street parking would be difficult, but it was not a problem during our stay. I will say that although the location is convenient, you are right next to the street - so if you are someone who needs earplugs to rest or needs complete silence I recommend bringing some as it can be loud out there in the late hours. This place was exactly as described and was perfect for what we needed to do! Thank you so much David! We plan to visit again!

We had a perfect romantic weekend in Santa Barbara, and this place made it truly special. The space was beautifully decorated with great style—spacious, full of natural light, cozy, quiet, and incredibly comfortable. It had everything we needed, from thoughtful amenities to a warm, inviting atmosphere. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to East Beach, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. Our host, Jane, was fantastic—responsive, kind, and full of helpful suggestions for local restaurants. She made everything easy from start to finish. We’d absolutely stay here again!

My wife and I stayed here while I attended a conference 45 minutes away, inland. I’m so glad we stayed where we did because of the views. Not difficult to get around. Grocery store and restaurants are not a far drive away. The place had everything we needed. Older adults, so pretty quiet. You can see and hear the ocean from the condo. Host was quick to respond to any questions.

We stayed in suite 7, and it was STUNNING. It was so worth the price we paid to stay there. Everything was clean, and the hosts are so quick with responses! They were amazing to work with, we will be coming back!

Such a beautiful large condo Great location and Terri was so kind and helpful. Had access to e bike which was so fun. Hot tub was relaxing and really enjoyed having an outdoor warm shower after going to the beach. Loved this spot and would definitely stay here again!

Location on the Mesa was perfect! Walking distance to beaches, shopping and restaurants. Very quiet, comfortable beds and the hot tub and private back yard were a bonus. Thank you, we would definitely return if we are in SB again!

My wife and I spent a weekend at Eileen’s and all I can say is, it was one of the best experiences I’ve had on AirBnB. Eileen was super helpful and responsive, sent clear instructions, the place was exactly what we were hoping it would be, and Carpinteria is a beautiful town, wonderful people. We cannot recommend Eileen’s place strongly enough!

This is perfect for a couple or a family with 2 small children. The kitchen was well equipped if you want to cook but restaurants are within walking distance. The beach is a block away, as well as a grassy park. Would definitely stay here again!
