Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Santa Barbara County

Great stay, super cute place, everything as described.. Snacks and bottles of water were included which was a nice surprise. Very quiet. I highly recommend James studio.

I would give Raymond’s place a 6 star out of 5 as we had a spectacular stay at his place. The place was beautiful , immaculate, very tastefully decorated and close to great restaurants and beaches. He was very responsive and let us drop off our luggage prior ! The house was perfectly beach ready and our celebratory trip also became magical as my daughter got engaged during our day at the beach during our stay !

10/10!

Cute little place with great views! Parking was easy and the room itself was great with a comfy bed. The WiFi was very weak for us, so just be aware if you’re planning to do work from the Airbnb. Otherwise we loved it!

This unit is on the side of a gorgeous 100+ year old Victorian home. The garden is full of places to sit and enjoy the sights and sounds of the beautiful garden. The unit has a small kitchen which has everything we needed for our 2-night stay. We were pleasantly surprised by the bedside lamps which provided plug ins for our chargers. The bathroom and bedroom were spacious. Easy to understand instructions were found throughout.

Our family had a great stay. The bottle of wine on arrival was a nice touch, and the space had great design. We really enjoyed eating out at the local restaurants.

Great place to stay, flexible hours for check-in, clear instructions and walkable to get to know Santa Barbara, the bathroom has a bit of a damp smell due to lack of ventilation, although there is an extractor fan.

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

Cathy was such an amazing host. Very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend!

The place was just as described! You can’t beat the price and it had everything we needed. It was only a 5-10 minute walk to the beach and really close to other popular places. The place itself was on a busier street, but still felt private because of the gate. There was also a lot of food places near by. The private patio was amazing for hanging out— the freeway noise is something to note, but my friends and I didn’t mind it. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!

Great spot. As described convenient and easy to check in.

Great spot! Really cozy and well appointed for its size. Cute back yard. Hosts are really communicative. Summerland is sleepy but that's what we like about it. Would definitely come back.

This stay was so far the best Airbnb stay I have ever had. I have traveled throughout the US and Mexico, and definitely exceeded my expectations for the time and price. I would even stay there long term if available. Thank you Alex!

This apartment is unbelievably adorable! Super clean, charming, and centrally located. The beds were so comfy too. Would definitely stay here again. They even left us a complimentary bottle of wine. 5 stars all around!

Amazing stay! The apartment is located right on the beachfront with direct access to the beach — you can literally walk out and feel the sand under your feet. The place is clean, cozy, and exactly as described. We loved waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying morning coffee with a sea view. The host was friendly and responsive. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful beach getaway!

I only booked the studio apartment for a night to have somewhere to shower and sleep mid road trip. I was soooo bummed I didn’t have more days there to enjoy it!!! The unit was actually a little more spacey than I expected (they made very clear this space was for one person). I’m weird when places have questionable linens/towels or they smell funky. The towels smelled so fresh, and the whole place was very clean. The space has beautiful features, felt modern but still cozy. Loved having the full fridge, that was very convenient. There are many units in the building but it felt private and I never heard anyone else. It’s a dreamy place with a lovely patio on the most adorable street. I will absolutely be returning with more time to spend and would recommend!

We had a perfect romantic weekend in Santa Barbara, and this place made it truly special. The space was beautifully decorated with great style—spacious, full of natural light, cozy, quiet, and incredibly comfortable. It had everything we needed, from thoughtful amenities to a warm, inviting atmosphere. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to East Beach, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. Our host, Jane, was fantastic—responsive, kind, and full of helpful suggestions for local restaurants. She made everything easy from start to finish. We’d absolutely stay here again!

My wife and I stayed here while I attended a conference 45 minutes away, inland. I’m so glad we stayed where we did because of the views. Not difficult to get around. Grocery store and restaurants are not a far drive away. The place had everything we needed. Older adults, so pretty quiet. You can see and hear the ocean from the condo. Host was quick to respond to any questions.

Eileen’s place is an absolute dream. Beautiful condo that is bright, clean, and comfortable. Steps away from a gorgeous beach and picturesque town! Eileen was super communicative and provided clear instructions. I’d love to visit again!

David told me about their new black couch and it’s super nice and comfy right in front of the fireplace and TV. Everything is just like the photos and the amenities were very thoughtful from Hand soaps to bath soaps. I’d love to come back to this place again when planning to visit the beach with my significant other

Michael was an awesome host always available if you needed anything.

Amanda’s place made it super easy to get everything I wanted out of this amazing town! Truly just 1 minute from the beach, walkable to the cute DT, parking spots were easy to find, and very peaceful little patio. Thank you for a great stay!

Solid place to crash for a few nights. Apartment was clean and host was very responsive.

Hosts are very friendly, respond rapidly. Place is super clean, and well organized. If I could give the hosts and this place 10 stars I would. Definitely recommend this beautiful peaceful place. Look forward to staying again in the future.
