Cottage vacation rentals in Santa Barbara County

We had a wonderful stay at Dana’s place! The cottage was decorated wonderfully, was extremely clean and had everything we needed for a terrific stay! Would definitely recommend to others and would definitely stay here again!

We had a magical weekend retreat at Jennifer’s Glass House. It was so peaceful, the unique architecture was perfect for taking in the sights and sounds of nature—the view from inside the Glass House was jaw dropping. Jennifer was so sweet, welcoming, and helpful. The bed was supremely comfortable and the bedding had a luxe feel. There were thoughtful places to sit, swing, or lie down throughout the property. While the kitchen is more limited, we were able to cook everything we needed, making food outdoors was divine. The bathrooms were spotless, if a bit of a walk to take in the middle of the night (but no different from other glamping facilities). We were lucky to have the entire Grove area to ourselves so it was especially comfortable as we didn’t have to navigate around other occupants. Loved the pool and hot tub area, a really charming experience. Overall it’s the perfect place for a quiet retreat off-grid, to recharge in an ideal glamping situation. We can’t wait to be back.

The cutest perfect getaway spot!! We didn't want to leave. 5 minute drive to some really great restaurants and shopping. Stunning hiking trails not too far of a walk or a quick drive away. 10/10 recommend if you're looking for a weekend escape!!

Eliza and George are awesome! They were very responsive. The space is beautiful and practical. My wife, father, son, and I stayed here for our daughter’s graduation from UCSB. Space was perfect and underpriced for the lodging market this weekend. George has a great record collection.

Great cottage! Had an awesome weekend on Bath Street. Place was very clean and the outside yard was very relaxing to hang out and nicely fenced for pets. Great location close enough to walk to the Bowl, State Street, Beach, etc.

What a peaceful place tucked in a quiet hilltop full of nature surroundings. Absolutely no traffic/people noise and lots darkness with an incredible view when the fog rolls away. It blew our minds! A perfect base of operations for a week stay with all we needed and the host right next door (over a private gate) which was helpful when we had a few needs that he responded quickly and kindly. We were impressed how close we were to things even though it felt like we were far, far away. We cannot wait to stay there again! Note to those that drive a Tesla, do NOT use the car gps/maps. It won’t get you there in a direct route. Use Google maps. Plan at least one evening to enjoy the night sky from the hot tub and deck with fire table and grill. It’s not to be missed.

Beautiful location close to Los Olivos but it feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. Grounds and landscaping were so well manicured.

My family and I had an amazing time at Paul's place. My girls could not get enough of the sheep/goats/chickens/pigs. So much fun. The Avocottage was so cute and very private. Paul and his daughter were very friendly and super nice folks. We would love to come back again!

This place was exactly as described and exactly what I was looking for . Anne has really gone out of the way to make this a truly charming get away retreat. Already planning my next trip back. Thank You Anne.

We had an amazing stay, and the property is fantastic. Everything was super well communicated, including any questions we had. The property was quiet and private, with a lovely deck in the sun. Kitchen had everything you needed, as did the rest of the property including the cool milk bottle display. The rest of the property was spotless and we really enjoyed staying! Bravo to the hosts.

We really enjoyed the pretty garden setting and relaxed and read outdoors. Will was very accommodating and responded quickly when I had a question. We ate at his restaurant that was on the premises and it was excellent, both food and service!

We loved staying at Camp Cottonwood — from the charming design to the lovely garden, to the very convenient proximity to town (specifically Bells) it was a great place to stay for the long weekend. Look forward to staying here again on a future visit to Los Alamos!

What an amazing little beach home. We loved Ian's home. It was stocked with everything we could need, the home was clean and cozy and had an ocean view from upstairs. The neighborhood is amazing and there are several charming restaurants just a block away from the house. Highly recommend.

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.

Fawn’s place was very clean and cozy. She had everything needed to have an excellent stay at the beach. I wish I could have stayed longer. Fawn is very polite and very friendly. I highly recommend her place for anyone wanting to stay in Oxnard. 5 stars all day.🙂

Richard was very friendly, welcomed me and gave me a tour of the space, as he shared the history of the property. Rustic, safe and quiet, the Getaway afforded me two pleasant night’s sleep.

Was great for the wedding weekend we attended - the double sink was helpful for getting ready at the same time (2 blow dryers provided). We all slept amazing on their beds!! The outdoor seating area is excellent for people watching, the trolley dinging by, the roses - we had a glass of bubbles each afternoon out there. I would plan on little to no internet. Even the thrift store across the street struggled with internet so if you’re looking to do work, this place’s connection might be trying on your patience. The ATT signal was weak as well. Our host was proactive in trying to fix it. We were eventually able to watch some late night shows after wedding festivities. Might want to ask for a few more Keurig pods per guest; however, there’s amazing coffee shops within a block or two. Make sure the AC isn’t shifted to auto or heat in the evening as it shifts to 81 on its own at some point - I’ll let the host know and bet it’ll be fixed when you read this. Book it! Very nice spot.

Exceptionally clean cottage with a well stocked and outfitted kitchen. Vicky is a terrific host and we hope to return to this property one day soon. I highly recommend this place.

Peter's house was perfect for traveling with young kids. Peter and his wife set up bedding for our young kids which was so helpful especially with our evening arrival. There were so many fun toys for the kids to play with. The kitchen was well stocked. We really enjoyed our stay. Peter and his wife thought of everything and are great hosts. Thank you for everything!

Overall we had a great stay at this property. It is private and quiet, within walking distance of Summerland town strip and is just a short drive to state street. I encourage renting Gillian’s room to anyone looking for an affordable stay in summerland! The dog bed was a nice touch for our dog as well!

Spacious, clean, private, nicely decorated, and super comfortable. Perfect for a couple looking to get away and enjoy everything Solvang, Los Olivos and Santa Ynez has to offer. We would definitely stay here again! PS - I wish I knew how to play piano so I could take advantage of the grand piano!

We loved our stay at George's place! The house is like a little oasis and feels very private. The decor was thoughtful and calming and curated like someone lived there, not your typical Airbnb furnishings. Beds and furniture were comfortable and kitchen was well-stocked and spacious. George is a great communicator and an ideal host. We would absolutely stay here again!

This was an absolutely beautiful stay! Highly recommend this space and this host. Just a wonderful trip from start to finish and we are so grateful to have stayed at SWELL! Side note that you may not see from the photos- the natural lighting inside was beautiful all throughout the day. Felt like we were in a movie with how beautiful and cute it was inside! Also- A/C worked GREAT! Host was responsive, space was clean, location was amazing! Stay at SWELL. Thanks Elizabeth!!

Great place, close to the beach, marina and restaurants - but still calm and cozy.
