Family-friendly vacation rentals in Santa Barbara Downtown

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 a wonderful stay! Location was perfect for us… peaceful spot with fun tree swing, and beautiful grounds to explore, yet an easy uber ride into town. Hosts are so friendly and helpful.

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

I don’t have enough great things to say. I like the house. I liked the location. I liked the morning fog and the afternoon sun. The patio views were awesome. Anne was amazing. Morning walks at the Douglas Preserve. Rent this property with confidence and have a great trip to Santa Barbara.

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.

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.

We had a lovely stay amidst a beautiful area surrounded by an avocado farm and tangerine farm. The home was lovely with many areas to enjoy both inside and outside the home. The grounds were beautiful with fresh herbs and beautiful flowers & landscaping. The kitchen was more than fully stocked with all kinds of cooking and serving abilities. The host was very responsive to all our needs and lovely. We would highly recommend this beautiful location for a peaceful stay amidst nature.

We loved this place for a girls weekend. Beds were comfy and lots of room to sit and visit.

Perfect location and walkable to lots of shops, restaurants and the beach. There is an upstairs unit and a downstairs unit so if you need space, it works out great to rent both. Parking was also easy on the street during the weekdays. Ian was a very responsive host. Thanks Ian.

Had a beautiful time. The inside is cute & space well used. The outside is amazing & where we spent most of our time. Our dogs loved roaming around then sunbathing. We had a great time cooking and playing with our daughter outside. Loved being elevated & seeing the ocean every morning.

very nice place to stay, super cute, easy street parking. Was perfect for a few days with half kitchen and studio feel. 10 mins from the harbor.

Nan and Conrad's Blue Agave Airbnb was amazing! It was perfectly located to see the best that Santa Barbara, Montecito, Summerland and Carpenteria have to offer. Within minutes we were able to get great tacos, great hikes, and even catch a polo match. The Airstream itself was great. It was a fun and unique experience. We stayed comfortably with 2 adults and 2 kids, and it had everything we needed. As for Nan and Conrad themselves - well, they were two of the best hosts we've experienced with Airbnb. They were so friendly and accommodating, and were so kind and gracious with our 4 and 7 year old kids who were enamored with the horses and chickens. We would highly recommend this location and host, and hope to return one day ourselves!

Jeanne’s cottage was an excellent place for our little group of 3 and 2 dogs, a quick drive to SY and perfectly located for road biking. There is so much wonderful space to wander on the grounds and perfect lawn for dogs to romp around. The cottage is thoughtfully furnished and the kitchen is well stocked. Jeanne and her husband were so nice and made us feel right at home. Without question one of the most dog friendly Airbnb I’ve ever stayed!

The house was beautiful and in a peaceful place. I appreciated how big the place was for my group of friends and I.

Such a cute find with an ocean view and 0.6 mile walk to the beach! The place is very cute inside and out with numerous outdoor seating options and gorgeous landscaping. We loved walking on the neighborhood trail, down to the beach, and to the cute downtown summerland. Only a ten minute drive to downtown Santa Barbara. Highly recommend!

The condo was clean comfortable and quiet. The location was convenient to walking trails shops and the beach. Amtrak is a few blocks away for easy trips to Santa Barbara. I would definitely recommend Melinda’s condo in Carpinteria for a great beach vacation.

Great location with respect to town. Unit was on the ground floor adjacent to parking lot and not exactly as pictured in listing, but spacious and clean. Would stay there again.

We had a great two-week stay at Rob and Deb's place in Carpinteria. We were 1.5 blocks from the beach and could walk there easily. They have beach chairs and toys for people to use. We loved using the chairs. We ate in most of the time and had what we needed to prepare meals. Basic supplies were available, like soap, paper towels and hangers. I worked remotely at the high kitchen table, and it was a great work station. We loved the ability to walk to everything in Carpinteria and we hope to stay there again. The laundry was accessible and available and I also loved the saltwater pool. Rob was super responsive when we had questions.

We thoroughly enjoyed this sweet town of Carpenteria and Pam and Paul’s place was a wonderful place to enjoy it. The beds were very comfortable and was accurate in the pictures. We didn’t have a car and thoroughly enjoyed walking the town, beach area and salt marsh. Very quaint and picturesque setting. We loved seeing the Amtrak California Surfliner train and platform for people to board. On another visit we hope to explore more of the coast via the train as it snugs the coastline. There are multiple stops during the day and seems a fun way to do day trips elsewhere when having more time. Thanks for a great stay!

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.

So relaxing to stay here! Nice to be away from phone service and close enough to the hot tub. We were sharing the space with another couple in the glass house, with whom we had very minor and lovely interactions. easy to feel a sense of privacy even when sharing the land. Would love to come back and stay longer!

Very gorgeous place to stay! Highly recommend! We really enjoyed our stay, Lindsay was amazing host! The place it self is very very beautiful, exceptionally unique. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in Santa Barbara with their loved once and have quality time. Loved it!

Joanie was a great host. We were ghosted by our original reservation and customer service was able to get us with Joanie. Joanie was extremely responsive and everything matched with the description on the listing. I'm extremely grateful with Joanie and her home was great. My husband and 2 children were extremely comfortable and relaxed during our stay. Thank you!
