Guesthouse holiday rentals in Santa Barbara

Such a cozy little cottage get-away. It was a great home base for our adventures around Ventura, Santa Barbara, Solveng and Ojai. Took advantage of the little outdoor deck for some morning reading. The spring flowers in the garden were lovely and a morning visit from the pups was a joy. Our stay was great and we would gladly visit again.

We loved our stay. The casita is close to downtown Santa Ynez and surrounded by horses and cows! The property is private and very quiet and peaceful. We brought our dogs along and were able to walk them in a nearby neighborhood and take them on adventures with us. Jeanne’s place was clean, well appointed and she was very helpful and a clear communicator. One surprise was the tax that was due separate from the paid price to Airbnb. It is stated in the listing that tax was not included but I missed that it would be paid separately. So just note, but we really enjoyed ourselves and would love to come back!

Had a wonderful stay at this cute little cottage! The location is absolutely amazing—close to everything you need, including the beautiful ocean and hiking trails in Montecito and Santa Barbara. It’s the perfect spot for a weekend retreat. The cottage was cozy and well-equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. We can't wait to return! Highly recommended!

Amazing property with breathtaking views would definitely recommend you would not regret! one of the best spots I have stayed at!! Special thanks to Deborah and Pete for being so friendly, and making my stay feel like home!!

Our 4th time back to the Oak & Avo grotto and will return again! Love the peaceful and lush surroundings, and coziness of the space.

Beautiful location and guest cottage was just perfect for my husband and me. Clean and comfortable. I would definitely come back next we're in the area.

The room was just as described, very clean, and exactly what we expected based on the listing.

Bruce and Mary are impeccable and caring hosts and their special touches of hospitality and caring made our stay exceptional beyond the best of experiences. Their studio is wonderful—clean, luxurious, comfortable, peaceful and beautiful. They have thought of everything including delicious coffee and treats. Truly a remarkable location and stay, and the friendliest and most thoughtful hosts you can imagine. Thank you so much, Mary and Bruce!

Wonderful Airbnb and responsive host! Would stay again

Such a great stay at an awesome home with beautiful views every day and an amazing kitchen and the hosts are right next door if anything comes up. Super awesome and helpful couple to be around. Thanks again for the awesome stay!!!

We used Lemon and Avacado Inn as home base for our son’s wedding. We loved both properties. It was so quiet and beautiful!!! Sheryl was so responsive. This location allowed us to get some quiet time during a busy weekend. I highly recommend the property.

Brooke was very accommodating and flexible to our needs during the week. Our daughter was married and we spent the week at Brooke’s home. Nice to have two additional cottages away from the main house and we never felt we got in the way of each other. Beautiful property with many wedding venues in the area. Great for family of bride or groom for their wedding day/week. The property was illuminated at night with a hot tub available to enjoy as we watched a SpaceX takeoff during our stay. Would recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing, private place to chill for a few days.

The pictures of the apartment correspond to reality. Taber is very accommodating and there was simply nothing missing. I can recommend without any problems. Taber is a great host!!

This Airbnb was perfect for our weekend getaway! The location was great, close to everything we wanted to see, and the guest house was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The host was also very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!

Susan was a great host, and Bungalow Encanto was a perfect place to stay. The amenities inside were so thoughtful, we really appreciated it. The surrounding area couldn't be better, with the beach a short walk away and distance to restaurants so close too. Neighborhood was friendly and welcoming. Very charming experiencing, and and grateful for the opportunity to stay here.

Excellent stay! The place was clean and well equipped. They even had water bottles for us, which was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting SB.

This was our second time staying here. Comfort and proximity to our family were key. On top of that, responsiveness and comfort were high on our list of things to like. Would definitely stay here again!

This was the second time we’ve stayed in this home and we have been very comfortable both times. It’s a beautiful place with easy access to conveniences, but you feel like you’re sheltered from the noise and busy scene. Love the gardens and the amenities. Beds are comfortable too! Great hospitality, lovely location, distant ocean views! We would love to return for more visits!

Beautiful, private cottage setting in Summerland. 15 minutes away from Santa Barbara, where we attended a wedding. The place is much bigger than it looks in the pictures. Super quiet at night, private, and we had breakfast on the cozy front porch!

The home was clean, very well maintained, and had all the amenities our family of four needed. Melissa was super responsive, and the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. Definitely recommend if you plan to visit Pismo/Solvang region.

This is my third stay with Travis and Audra. They are very nice and friendly and respectful. Great experience.

Jayes and his family are the best hosts. They have become an extended family being at their place every couple of months for the past two years when visiting my children in Simi Valley is a blessing and joy. Thank you for everything 🌸🤍

This was my third time staying at Elizabeth's. It's never enough time, yet it always maintains to soothe the soul. It's a feel good place that's tailor made for relaxation and peace of mind. The conditions are pristine. perfection. Everything you could possibly want or need has been thought of by Elizabeth. She goes out of her way to make the place feel like home...little candies, coffee/tea station, fresh cut flowers, hand made soaps and furniture....home made enchiladas in the freezer. I am not kidding; this place is heaven. She makes the place so comfortable, that it's VERY hard to leave! If this place is available, I highly recommend renting it. You will not be sorry. It's a special, special place and I can't wait to return.

All I can say is Wow!! The house was stunning and in a beautiful location. You could see the ocean from the balcony and was tucked up in the canyon which was so peaceful and quiet. The space was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. There were plenty of spices, coffee, tea, creamers and condiments to utilize. I appreciated that she also had extra toiletries in the bathroom like q-tips, cotton balls, sunscreen, aloe vera gel (which came in handy for my sunburn!) It was only a 4min drive to the beach from her house and about 5-10mins to a variety of shops/restaurants depending which direction you go on the highway. Overall, I’d def recommend this place to future travelers. It’s comfy, cozy, quiet and perfect for some rest and relaxation. I’ll def be back!
