Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Santa Ynez

We had an incredible 2 night stay! It was difficult to leave, and we were immediately regretting not booking a longer stay. The photos are extremely accurate of the space, and if anything it exceeded our expectations. We had a group of 3 in our stay and immediately upon entering said "We could live here!" The location and setting provides the perfect combination of tranquility and convenience. Will look forward to our next stay here!!

Thanks for the great stay - everything as pictured - nice walk to a great little town with great food etc.

I can't say enough great things about Lavender Hill and Michelle.....we had a blast staying in one of the most beautiful homes anywhere! Large and spacious, with incredible views through every window. We were in Santa Ynez for a wedding, and there were 11 of us staying in the home. Plenty of room for everyone, and lots of spaces to just hang out and unwind from all of the festivities! If you are ever planning to stay in the Solvang area, don't shop for an Airbnb. Just rent this one. You will not be disappointed! Michelle and her team are great hosts, and made us all feel at home. And did I mention the views? I would give them 10 stars if that was a choice lol.....it was wonderful.

Lovely place. Very clean and comfortable. We highly recommended and for sure will be back. Harvey is a very nice person, he showed us the beautiful Victorian house and gave us the history of it. Thanks a million Harvey for everything! We really appreciate it!

We stayed with our adult kids and wanted a walkable location. This one was perfect! Quiet yet close. Really enjoyed meeting Jeanne and her dogs.... horses, chickens too. (FYI....They are off site and not at the property.) The home is very well provisioned and the beds luxurious and comfy. Open kitchen and lots of seating in the living areas. Thank you Jeanne, we look forward to seeing you again!

We traveled to the area for wine tasting and this was a great starting point. The deck, privacy, and view were exactly what we were looking for. As a bonus, there were new fluffy towels and amazing water pressure. Glad we chose this property.

This was such a delight. Located in-between Solvang and Los Olivos, close to everything! Amazing views, lovely home, and very comfy! I would love to stay here again! Kris was such a gem, very responsive to my silly questions. (I apologize again to Kris for bugging him twice) 🙂

Brian's place was the perfect spot for our family's celebration of my 65th birthday and my Grandson Sonny's 1st birthday party. My daughter teaches and lives at Dunn School, so Brian's place was within walking distance to her school and downtown Los Olivos. We celebrated my birthday at the area restaurants on Saturday and had Sonny's Party at Brian's place on Sunday. Standouts included a great outdoor grill and spacious outside area for all the guests, top-of-the-line kitchen appliances inside the house, plenty of seating inside and out, outdoor games for kids and adults, an in-ground outdoor fireplace, with s'more ingredients supplied by Brian for the fire. Spa available, maybe we will try it next time:) Brian reached out to us to make sure we had everything we needed and was available to answer any questions. I will definitely be a regular customer!!

Very sweet place. Was well decorated and cozy and clean. Was in a good location for parking

Everything was straightforward. We were received in a very friendly manner, check-in was easy and we had everything we needed. The surrounding area is very nice and quiet. Just the thing after 2 weeks of round trip.

Great spot! Really cozy and well appointed for its size. Cute back yard. Hosts are really communicative. Summerland is sleepy but that's what we like about it. Would definitely come back.

We're repeat guest to this Air BNB. I enjoy the locale and the ease of amenities within walking distance. Our stay was pleasant and relaxing.

This stay was so far the best Airbnb stay I have ever had. I have traveled throughout the US and Mexico, and definitely exceeded my expectations for the time and price. I would even stay there long term if available. Thank you Alex!

Charming place and fantastic location. Host was friendly, proactive and helpful.

Great place for couples to stay in Santa Barbara within walking distance of shops, bars, and the beach. Will definitely stay here again

I only booked the studio apartment for a night to have somewhere to shower and sleep mid road trip. I was soooo bummed I didn’t have more days there to enjoy it!!! The unit was actually a little more spacey than I expected (they made very clear this space was for one person). I’m weird when places have questionable linens/towels or they smell funky. The towels smelled so fresh, and the whole place was very clean. The space has beautiful features, felt modern but still cozy. Loved having the full fridge, that was very convenient. There are many units in the building but it felt private and I never heard anyone else. It’s a dreamy place with a lovely patio on the most adorable street. I will absolutely be returning with more time to spend and would recommend!

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!

We absolutely loved our stay here. The house was clean, cozy and fully stocked. We spent lots of time on the porch enjoying the view and watching all the happenings on the beach, talking to neighbors and the staff at Slappy’s next door and our evening campfires. We will definitely be staying here again! There are 2 parking spots in the garage ideal for smaller cars or SUVs and a lot across the street that charges $20 a day where we parked our Tundra.

What a great location!!!! Rent without any hesitations, So clean and had hotel style soaps available in bathroom, great hot tub in the back yard, peach 🍑 trees. Beds were just like home, throw blankets and Netflix on the TV. Love it and worked out perfect while attending daughter's college graduation. Highly recommend

Eileen’s place is an absolute dream. Beautiful condo that is bright, clean, and comfortable. Steps away from a gorgeous beach and picturesque town! Eileen was super communicative and provided clear instructions. I’d love to visit again!

The place was very nice and clean and the instruction to find the place was very accurate. Make sure to read the notes shared to find the property as it is a little confusing to find the property if you only rely on the google map. The instructions make it very easy to find it. The property was nice, clean, big, and had all the things we needed and we definitely want to go back. The host is very responsive even when I messaged him at 11 pm and the property is 5 minutes from the beach.

Amanda’s place made it super easy to get everything I wanted out of this amazing town! Truly just 1 minute from the beach, walkable to the cute DT, parking spots were easy to find, and very peaceful little patio. Thank you for a great stay!

10/10 amazing place! My family and I loved it as soon as we walked in. Very beautiful, clean, and a cool experience. Our plan to go to the beach went away and all we wanted to do was to stay at the house. So cozy and relaxing. Felt we were inside a magazine! A dream vacation and stay. Beds were comfortable, everything was working, plenty of towel, walkable to shops and beach, the rooftop was so fun and cool! Nothing bad to say about this place and in fact we want to come back! Thank you Courtney for being an amazing host!

Solid place to crash for a few nights. Apartment was clean and host was very responsive.
