Just steps from the beach

"Short term rental was never easier perfectly suited for accessing every site that local Santa Barbara offers. We walked to the beach, the pier, shops, night life, the zoo and great restaurants.

We had no issues, and found all prior and posted instructions clear. We will be...

"From booking to actually staying at Cherrys beautiful home was effortless. The location is perfect! Just a couple minutes walk to the beach and to the General store for a ice cream, a must for evening strolls to the beach! Cherrys home is so inviting. The bedrooms are cozy and the beds are oh so comfortable. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves of the ocean was so dreamy. I will definitely plan another stay."

The bed is really comfortable, the shower is great and we had everything we needed, including a selection of good coffee (pod machine) and laundry facilities. Check-in and out was seamless via the Smart lock. We would stay here again!"

Your OWN Private Refuge ON 10 Acres IN Santa Ynez
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (196)
"We enjoyed our stay in Santa Ynez at Jeanne and Leo’s place. It was relaxing and there were nice touches like coffee beans in the fridge and a banana walnut cake for breakfasts. Santa Ynez is very close although the town is not walker-friendly. Los Olivos and Solvang are also so close and accessible. The casita is comfortable if a little tight in places. There are a lot of bugs which is a function of the locale. Jeanne could not have been more welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our stay"
