Family-friendly vacation rentals in Santa Ynez

Excellent apartment right off the main road in Solvang. Tons of walkable bakeries, restaurants, shops, and parks.

Stayed here for a few nights and the house is really wonderful! Had everything we needed and a personal touch.

Thank you Jennifer! Had a great stay and you’re an A+ host!

Everything was perfect! Treated my wife and her girlfriends for a weekend stay for her 40th birthday and they came back with stellar reviews. Hilary was communicative and helpful throughout the booking, check-in, and stay. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a unique and special stay up in Solvang

Jennifer was simply amazing! So responsive, communicative, understanding, kind, accommodating and genuine. Beautiful property which was so accurate to the photos, perfect location, easy instructions and loads of helpful information. The energy at fantastical cottage was so beautiful, it was the perfect getaway.

This place is truly magical! The location was great, nestled in nature with beautiful surroundings that make you feel fully immersed in the outdoors and yet it's fairly close to the bustling/fun town of Santa Barbra. Waking up to the sound of birds singing in the morning was so peaceful and the fresh farm eggs were the perfect touch! The outdoor shower was definitely a highlight, the warm water made it feel like a luxury. We couldn't have asked for a better place to unwind and relax. Jennifer was also extremely kind and accommodating, always checking-in to ensure we had everything we needed. 10/10 recommend, we will definitely be coming back!

Very gorgeous place to stay! Highly recommend! We really enjoyed our stay, Lindsay was amazing host! The place it self is very very beautiful, exceptionally unique. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in Santa Barbara with their loved once and have quality time. Loved it!

This house is where you want to be!!! It is very cozy and comfortable. It has a great kitchen and we really enjoyed eating on the deck. The pool provided hours of fun for my daughters. The house backs up to a meadow where you can take magical afternoon walks. The host was very accommodating. It was the perfect spot to be. We will be back. :).

This is a beautiful location, right beside the botanic garden and lots of hikes near inspiration point. Property is green and lush. Views of stars from the hot tub are just lovely. House is spacious with lots of room for work, play, and relaxing. Dave is friendly and helpful. Lovely spot if you want a remote, quiet, green space.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this lovely home! The setting and landscape design were spectacular. We enjoyed going on hikes and walks from the property and it was convenient to get to and from downtown SB. Communication with and instructions from the home owner were clear and simple to follow.

Great place to stay in a perfect location. Would definitely stay there again! The only things keeping it an "A" instead of "A+" were: 1) hard to lock front door from outside 2) jacuzzi didn't work great Everything else was amazing!! Highly recommended.

Marty and Carey's home was a perfect place for our friends' reunion! The home is spacious, clean, comfortable, and with great decor. The kitchen was well-stocked and we loved the openness of it. The couches and beds were very comfortable for lounging and sleeping. The backyard is so beautiful and peaceful, we spent most of our free time out on the patio, and the kids loved the swings. The hot tub was a big hit with everyone, and we enjoyed being so close to the mesa bluffs and the private beach. We can't wait to come back again!

Having three bedrooms and two bathrooms was an absolute blessing, even with just 3 people on the trip. Between driving in from AZ (day 2 of trip from NM!) and all kinds of crazy back and forth trips to LA for concerts, we definitely needed the various rooms to decompress and gets our showers done. Hot water lasted through 3 people, so good sized tank or one of those in-line heater things, not sure which. Space was clean and elegant. I truly wish we'd had time to use the hot tub or the book nook. As it turned out, we didn't, but both looked great. We prefer slightly softer beds (2 out of the 3 of us), but the third person was quite happy with the firmness thereof. Having washer and dryer on site was useful. Oven/Stove worked fine when we used it three times during stay. Fridge was big and clean. Overall happy with the stay and the amenities.

We stayed at the property for 3 nights. It was a girls’ trip. We loved the view. The house was very equip. with dishes etc. that was nice since we did breakfast every day. Everyone had a bed and slept well. Thanks for letting us stay at the property, this was a girls’ trip to remember. ❤️❤️

Absolutely beautiful property, this quickly became our happy place and did not want to leave. Such an amazing location and view, beautiful house that we fell in love with. Highly recommend. Loved the layout, kitchen, beds and bedding was lux. Hot tub and table tennis for the kids. Steam room / shower was great. Sitting outside with a glass of wine looking out over Santa Barbara makes me want to go back already…

David’s place is located in the perfect spot, walking distance to literally everything in Solvang. We also loved how the house was protected behind a gate that needed a code. We loved our stay & would recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing place to stay in Solvang! We will be back 100%!

We had a wonderful time at Diana's lovely home. The view was perfect, bright open windows when sitting inside, played games on the patio enjoying the view. Was close to Santa Barbara where we spent a lot of our time. Got to meet Diana during our stay & she was so sweet! Would definitely come here again!

A lovely, spacious, centrally located Airbnb situated in the beautiful Pico garden, this was the perfect spot for our weekend work trip! It had everything we would ever need and more. Would definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved Cliffhouse for our family long weekend. The house was as described and had everything you could thing of in the kitchen. It was so nice having the fenced in yard with our two younger daughters and they loved all of the games and books. Cliff provided so much great local information. We would highly recommend staying here.

Kim and Tom’s Camp Cottonwood house is beautiful and comfortable. Everything works as expected and supplies are well-stocked. The backyard is awe-inspiringly spacious — big enough to host a wedding, we joked. Their home is a gem in Los Alamos, convenient and cozy. Los Alamos is a cute village that’s close to Santa Maria and Solvang. Kim and Tom are very welcoming hosts. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Honestly, the pictures don’t do it justice.

I couldn’t have found a better place to stay if I tried. For the price, the place was incredibly roomy and very conveniently located. Anywhere you need to go in Santa Barbara will be a very short drive away, and lots of great restaurants or stores are within walking distance. The property is beautiful, well kept, and surrounded by fruit trees. I was never disturbed in the slightest by noise or other people. And Miriam couldn’t have been friendlier or more communicative and responsive. She also kindly offered me some of her home-grown bananas—genuinely the best bananas I have ever had. If you have the opportunity to stay here, please do. Once I spent a few days here, I realized how lucky I was to have found it. I doubt any other choice could have come close. Thank you Miriam!

We had a really great stay here. Our hostess, Debbie, was super responsive and helpful. I always want to hear about the bed and pillows - both were super comfortable. Mama Dux was clean, welcoming, and did not disappoint. If you’re unfamiliar with the area, the apartment was in the middle of everything. We parked our car and literally walked everywhere - the funk zone, the beach, farmers market, state street…of course, this convenience to everything comes with the fact that it is not in a quiet area. You could hear cars with loud music, passers by, and the like. In addition, Mama Dux is a first floor apartment and one of the units is upstairs, so you will hear your neighbors if the apartment is occupied. I went to Santa Barbara with my 22 year old daughter and we had an absolute blast at Mama Dux and I would without a doubt stay here again.

Carrie was an awesome host and her place was amazingly beautiful, tranquil, and near the center of town with plenty to do. The home is a perfect place for someone looking to relax and get outside for some fun. Parking was easy and Carrie was great at communicating with our family. We'll be back if we are ever in town again!

Such a lovely place, and so clean. Enjoyed its charming decor, wood-burning fireplace, awesome shower and most of all the outdoor deck area by the creek where I enjoyed having magical brunches with the sound of the creek running and birds singing. Can’t wait to go back!
