“Perfect place for our family to gather!” This property was an ideal setting for our family gathering of 4 adult children, their spouses and our 7 young grandchildren. The setting was gorgeous, the house and bedrooms were spacious enough for all of us to be comfortable. The play structure and swings was like the cherry on top of hot fudge sundae. If ever we decide to gather in Santa Barbara again, we will most definitely want to stay in this same house.

BABY DUX - Sweet Hideaway in the Heart of the Fun
Santa Barbara apartment
1 bedroom / 1 bathroom / sleeps 3
“Cozy with a capital Z” First of all, let's get this out of the way (as everything else might be in the way too), this place is not for you if you don't know the difference between small and cozy. To a pessimist this place is tiny. To an optimist this place is cozy. I have to admit that the photographs are misleading! The photos show vibrant colors with a vivid, funky flavor, but the decor has been replaced with a more subdued, adult modern feel, so precise and new that makes you feel like you are living in a furniture showroom. Either way, Inga shows great taste in decor. We're even looking to fasten a rug to the wall near our bed (a brilliant idea for we people who live in earthquake country) There were a bunch of unusual touches that I really liked: the kitchen sink was deep with an extended nozzle built into the faucet, the shower head is as big as a medium pizza, the couch bed is ingeniously simple and surprisingly comfortable, whisper quiet ceiling fan, huge bottles of shampoo and conditioner, the jungle-like foliage around the house, and the fake fireplace creates heat when you need it and ambiance (and night light) when you don't. Working wi-fi, a flatscreen TV with cable, and parking included seals the deal, especially considering parking elsewhere is either 75 minutes on the streets or until 3am on the cul-de-sac nearby. Of course, the best reason to stay here is location. The place is one small block from State Street (bars, movies, yogurt, coffee, shopping and restaurants, including favorites Bay Roadhouse and Joe's Cafe), and not too far from the beach. The only reason not to stay here is the coziness, but you can't beat the location, amenities, and price.

“Absolutely Perfect” If anything this was better than advertised. We had the opportunity to stay in both cottages as the owners worked with us to squeeze us in. Both cottages are wonderful. Preferred back only because of the fenced in yard that was perfect for our puppy. Great location within walking distances to beach, park, beach restaurant and small grocery store. We like to walk so found it didn't take long to get to the pier or state street where all the restaurant and shops are. Will definitely return. The owners were wonderful and by the end of our stay felt like we had been given the opportunity to stay in 'a friends' house. As we had a car full it was great not to have to worry about beach gear, umbrellas, etc - they were all available to use.

“Awesome!” We stayed in Scott and Grace's delightful apartment for a week in January this year. The place was spotlessly clean. The location was fantastic--close enough to restaurants and recreational outdoor areas. We walked to and around the Mission and enjoyed having access to restaurants (from coffee shops with delicious pastries and fresh squeezed juice to Thai and Mexican food). We loved the small details (fresh fruit in the room upon arrival, fancy toiletries in the bathroom). Scott and Grace were super easy going, very knowledgeable of the area, and helpful in every way they could think of to make our stay a fun and memorable one. I would definitely recommend this stay with all of my friends!

“Fantastic Location & Equipment.” We stayed in this apartment for 2 weeks as part of our honeymoon. It really is beautifully equipped - a real home from home. It is perfectly located for the beach and the bars & restauraunts of State St. I'm already missing our breakfasts on the deck and cannot wait to return.

MAMA DUX - CLASSIC LUXURY IN THE HEART OF THE FUN
Santa Barbara apartment
1 bedroom / 1 bathroom / sleeps 4
“Fun in Santa Barbars” This was my first visit to Santa Barbara. The mama DUX apartment was exactly as advertised. It has a very convenient location just a block from State Street. Turn left on State and it's just a short walk to the beach, harbor and Stearns Wharf. Turn right on State and walk to all of the shops and restaurants. In addition, there was a very nice cafe with great coffee just a block away on anacapa Street. The apartment was spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortably furnished. In addition, parking is provided, which is a great convenience. Despite the location and the fact that there are two other units in the house, it was very quiet. The owner and manager both provided great service and made themselves available should any need arise. Happily, I didn't require their services during my visit. I would recommend the apartment without reservation.

“A gorgeous retreat and a perfect way to end our vacation.” My husband and I booked the Cozy Cottage for the last 3 days of our holiday on the West Coast. The amenities are very good - fully stocked kitchen, excellent laundry facilities, a lovely pool, loungers with cushions (beach towels provided), and a hot tub (as I'm pregnant Carla also informed me that she has a travel cot should you need!). Location wise, a car is a must - the local village about 1.5 miles away has basic shops and some lovely little restaurants. Carla was able to recommend some beautiful places to visit and more restaurants than we could possibly manage in 3 days! I would thoroughly recommend the cottage and Carla is a delightful host. Thank you for looking after us.

“Amazing peaceful retreat” This is a great property that is literally steps from all the great restaurants in and around State street. You can walk almost anywhere from here, beach , restaurants, shopping and the house itself is amazing. Back yard porch and back yard was the perfect place for late afternoon drinks before going over to State and the aforementioned great restaurants. Rooms are comfortable and the beds were great. Mimi is an awesome property owner and gave us great insight into the area as well. We will be back soon

About Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara lies along a stretch of the southern California coastline that some visitors call "The American Riviera". The winding coastal roads and beautiful scenic overlooks give way here to inland farms and vineyards, Spanish inspired ranches, and the kind of sagebrush countryside written about by John Steinbeck. While you're here, visit the old Spanish missions built by early settlers, some of which are now museums, explore the vistas of the Santa Ynez valley, take a sea kayaking eco-tour along the coast, and visit the Santa Barbara zoo or the botanical garden to learn more about the native plant and animal life in this area. And of course, you'll need to experience the world-class restaurants of Santa Barbara to taste the offerings of some of the richest and most diverse farmland in the country. The oldest organic farm in southern California is located here, and it's open to the public.
Here are some additional suggestions if you're looking for things to do:
- Explore the canyons: Go hiking or bicycling through Romero Canyon in Montecito, or hike the Hot Springs Trail to a majestic Santa Barbara overlook.
- Go shopping: Stroll along the charming and elegant Coast Village Road, considered one of the best shopping districts in Montecito.
- Take a winery tour: A Santa Barbara winery tour is a wonderful way to experience the true beauty and rolling vineyards of the California countryside.
- Experience live music: Enjoy live music and other entertainment in Alameda Park and Chase Palm Park. Other great places for concerts around Santa Barbara include the Cold Springs Tavern and the bars and music venues on State Street.
- Meet the ostriches: Have a close encounter with ostriches and emus at Ostrich Land in Buellton.
- Visit the museums: Go to the Carriage and Western Art Museum on Castillo Street to learn more about the history of transportation in California and see how this landscape has inspired artists for centuries.
Like most of southern California, Santa Barbara is beautiful all year round. Despite its popularity among travelers, it's still always easy to find a vacation rental here. Book a trendy apartment downtown or find a luxury condo close to the beach. No matter where you decide to stay, Santa Barbara is great place to relax, enjoy the sun, and create lasting vacation memories.
