Family-friendly vacation rentals in Santa Barbara

Jolie and the cabin were amazing! Great with communication and desired to make sure we had everything we needed, even willing to go above and beyond most other places. My boyfriend and I had a great time!

Had a absolute wonderful stay! Stayed with my partner and 6 month old. It was warm out but we stayed nice and cool in the home and the walk down to the village was great! Our little one also swam in the pool for the first time! The home and surrounding areas were beautiful and we definitely soaked in the beauty of nature in comfort. Extremely grateful for the stay and looking forward to next time!

Lots of room for extra friends/family. Great stove top/easy cleaning up. Clean pool, working laundry room. Amazing outside view! Checks off as a really great spot to stay for a few days. Outside amenities is okay could be better. But overall, the stay was pleasant.

This house is the perfect secluded getaway. It has an amazing pool and jacuzzi that you never want to leave with a spectacular view. It is hands down the most unique home I’ve ever been to. We loved interacting with the emu’s and there is the sweetest little cat that roams around the property. There are tons of lights switches everywhere that would at first seem overwhelming but everything is labeled very clearly making all navigation through the house a breeze. We would love to book this Airbnb again in the future.

I got sick on the way to LA and Stayed with Jennifer almost for week - her hospitality was more than i could ask for. When she went to the town, she asked if i need any groceries or wanna order food - she picked up lunch for me - will recommend her to any one who wants to have cabin experience and piece of mind:)

Cozy Cabin was the perfect choice for our nature retreat! Denlin's place felt very much like a home away from home. It is nicely furnished inside and each space feels truly 'cozy' and has a unique feel. The big back deck has gorgeous views of the surrounding National forest, with good opportunities for some birdwatching as well. It was only a short walk or drive to any local trails. If you are looking for somewhere that feels like a real home, and not a corporate rental, you will be happy at Cozy Cabin. :)

We were in town for a wedding for the weekend and this spot was perfect for us. We are a family of 5, we had a ton of space to relax in. The kitchen was stocked with coffee and water in the refrigerator which is really nice. There was also a delicious party to enjoy with our coffee the next morning. The property was absolutely beautiful as well. Highly recommend.

Julie’s place is amazing!!! Better than expected. College friend reunion. We really enjoyed the pool and the yoga studio and outdoor area. Julie is a delight!

Lovely cottage. Close to downtown Ojai (easy walk) but separate enough to be quiet and private. Nice patio and furnishings. Recommended.

We loved absolutely everything about our stay at the Lost Shaker of Salt airbnb. The place was immaculate when we arrived and the layout was ideal for us, plenty of space for 3 adults and 2 dogs. The yard was set up nicely with chairs, lights, umbrella and firepit and view of the water. We loved walking along the beach with our dogs and the town has lots of restaurants with dog friendly patios. We would definitely stay here again.

we loved the cottage it was very beautiful place, peaceful and filled like a home, the best thing about the location it was 10 to 15 minutes drive to go around and have our adventures. We loved our host, Melani and christ, they are loving welcomed and great couples. solvang and Santa ynez it's very nice place to go back and if we do we're definitely going back to Melanis place.

We loved our stay here. It was super peaceful and had everything we needed for our Malibu getaway. We would definitely stay here again!

Hummingbird Cottage is adorable. The bed was so comfortable and the sound of the fountain was soothing. The house is very small, so not suited to someone really tall. Our daughter stayed in the treehouse and loved it. The location was great for catching the boat to the Channel Islands.

this place was an excellent value! we booked trying to get within 10 miles from wine country. we were within 3 miles. We wanted peaceful. Such a tranquil spot. Indoor/outdoor seating. Breakfast was walking distance. all we could ask for. Definitely planning to visit again!!!

We enjoyed a quiet weekend stay. The 3 bedroom home was comfortable for 5 adults with nice beds and spacious sitting areas. There were plenty of towels and a lovely yard. The home has many windows and lots of natural light, so if you are bothered by sunlight in the morning, bring eyeshades to help with sleeping late. Overall, our stay was wonderful, and the owner was available to answer any of our questions.

This rental exceeded our expectations in every way! The location is absolutely perfect - just a 5-minute drive to all the attractions and spots we wanted to visit in Santa Barbara, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the area. The space itself is wonderfully spacious with a gorgeous kitchen and living room that made our stay feel like a home away from home. The kitchen was well-appointed and the living area provided plenty of room to relax after our daily adventures. A huge bonus is the brewery downstairs - don’t miss their pizza! It’s absolutely delicious and so convenient to have such great food right in the building. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Santa Barbara.

Absolutely gorgeous place with the most beautiful nature surroundings. Perfect for a family weekend with great amenities like pool table, darts and hot tub. Loved our stay!

What a beautiful property! The backyard was like a sanctuary. We were walking distance to a beautiful beach and the neighborhood was quiet.

We had an amazing time, such a beautiful and spacious home. Thank you for hosting my family and I :)

Great location, easy access to beaches, downtown. Comfy king sized bed. Take advantage of the fresh eggs, they were delicious. The unit is an extension of a family home but has a private entrance and feels separate. Hot tub, garden and sauna are part of a shared space with the host

This is a gem. Perfect location. Great house. Set up perfectly for our family of 5. The hot tub and back yard are so cute. The photos do not do this place justice. My family and I made some great memories here and would love to come back someday. John is a great host and we are so happy we chose to stay here.

Catie's place was really clean and had everything you needed to have a good stay. So many interesting items to look at, and I feel like I need another stay to see everything. Lots to do on the outside property and plenty of games on the inside. The kitchen was WELL stocked and the beds comfortable. The common rooms are big with lots of places to sit. Close to great hiking areas and town. Book it you will love it!

I cannot say enough great things about both the home and the information and responsiveness that Todd & Jodi provided during our stay. We were fortunate to find their place available at the last minute and could not have been more pleased with the experience. Home was beautiful and on a great piece of land, peaceful, quiet and convenient. We felt right at home, almost better than right at home, which was the whole purpose of our visit. Beds, bathrooms, kitchen and all the accessories of the home were top notch. All the recommendations and help in finding last minute winery visits and dinner reservations were incredibly helpful as well. We will be back.

This was our first experience with an Airbnb and wow, what a wonderful experience! Everything was even better than described! It took no time at all to feel like home. Aldo was incredibly responsive and very helpful. It is the ultimate Santa Barbara beach cottage. Next time we are in the area we will definitely want to stay here!
