Guesthouse holiday rentals in Santa Barbara

Enjoyed a great week in Ojai; was able to walk to every place in the downtown area; the place was quiet and pristine; very peaceful and the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful Ojai Vally and its surroundings; a GREAT FIND!

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!

Kat is a great host and the petite retreat is stunning -- we loved the outdoor shower and location. Looking forward to visiting again!

We really enjoyed our stay. The area is beautiful and the neighborhood and property were very nice. We’d stay again for sure!

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.

Roland was an amazing host. Kind and quick to respond. Very thoughtful and ensures his guests have a very comfortable stay. One thing that stood out most was the kitchen and outdoor BBQ. Roland has tons of utensils and other cookware to make cooking here stress free. If I ever find myself needing to stay in the area again, I would not hesitate to contact Roland! 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Ana’s place 3 nights. It was even nicer in person than the pictures. The place was pristine and seemed newly built. While the place is smaller it felt very roomy for 2 people with the layout. Ana had many personal touches from the softest bathroom towels, beach towels, sunscreen, make up remover, sewing kits, Tylenol etc. Her place is only a few blocks to State Street and extremely quiet. There was no outside noise heard from inside. Very convenient parking even for our long bed truck. We will definitely stay here again for our next SB visit!

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.

We stayed here for two months and absolutely loved it. The location is amazing—just a 20–30 minute walk to downtown, and the neighborhood is stunning. My partner and I travel full-time, and this space was perfect for a couple. We especially enjoyed our daily afternoon walks—such a peaceful, beautiful area. Brett and Mary were wonderful hosts—super lovely and easy to communicate with. Everything was smooth from start to finish. Would definitely stay again!

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.

Emily and Allen’s cozy loft was even nicer than the pictures showed. We felt right at home and would definitely stay 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!

Had a great time … It was the perfect place for our weekend in Solvang, Thank you agian 🙏🏼✝️💟

This private quarters was a wonderful place to stay when visiting Ojai. Our stay was very low-friction and offered easy access to the best of the town and nature that the area has to offer.

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.

Great host, experience, and place. Highly recommend. Desi was very responsive, and at the same time gave us our privacy. The pool and jacuzzi were excellent and well cared for including the pool water testing kit being visible so they clearly take ensuring the pool water seriously. The Airbnb is very nice as is the bed. Overall a great experience.

Such a nice calming place. Very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. Pots, pans, and spices. My partner is 6’9 and I’m 5’10 and we fit on the bed and we’re comfortable. Loved the outside sitting area. Was a quiet neighborhood which I appreciated. Easy check in process. I want that back splash in the kitchen and the shower.
