Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Santa Ynez

We were in Los Alamos for my daughter's wedding at the Maker's Son. The location of the Centennial House was perfect, it was just a short walk to the venue. The house was absolutely gorgeous, and Kat's attention to detail is evident throughout. I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for helping our family experience a beautiful weekend!

House was in walking distance to the town. Host was always very quick to respond to questions and gave suggestions regarding restaurants and activities. There was a bottle of wine waiting for us when we checked in. The house was very spacious and well stocked. We reported an issue with the TV and they came right away to replace it.

I can't say enough great things about Lavender Hill and Michelle.....we had a blast staying in one of the most beautiful homes anywhere! Large and spacious, with incredible views through every window. We were in Santa Ynez for a wedding, and there were 11 of us staying in the home. Plenty of room for everyone, and lots of spaces to just hang out and unwind from all of the festivities! If you are ever planning to stay in the Solvang area, don't shop for an Airbnb. Just rent this one. You will not be disappointed! Michelle and her team are great hosts, and made us all feel at home. And did I mention the views? I would give them 10 stars if that was a choice lol.....it was wonderful.

Lovely place. Very clean and comfortable. We highly recommended and for sure will be back. Harvey is a very nice person, he showed us the beautiful Victorian house and gave us the history of it. Thanks a million Harvey for everything! We really appreciate it!

We stayed with our adult kids and wanted a walkable location. This one was perfect! Quiet yet close. Really enjoyed meeting Jeanne and her dogs.... horses, chickens too. (FYI....They are off site and not at the property.) The home is very well provisioned and the beds luxurious and comfy. Open kitchen and lots of seating in the living areas. Thank you Jeanne, we look forward to seeing you again!

We traveled to the area for wine tasting and this was a great starting point. The deck, privacy, and view were exactly what we were looking for. As a bonus, there were new fluffy towels and amazing water pressure. Glad we chose this property.

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 such a delight. Located in-between Solvang and Los Olivos, close to everything! Amazing views, lovely home, and very comfy! I would love to stay here again! Kris was such a gem, very responsive to my silly questions. (I apologize again to Kris for bugging him twice) 🙂

Our stay was very pleasant!! Elena was responsive from the get go! I had inquired about having two dogs and she was very accommodating to our requests and helped make the trip so easy. The Airbnb was beautiful and clean and was exactly how it was described! The area was very private and peaceful and you can literally walk to the beach in less than a minute. I would definitely stay here again!

Everything was straightforward. We were received in a very friendly manner, check-in was easy and we had everything we needed. The surrounding area is very nice and quiet. Just the thing after 2 weeks of round trip.

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!

Charming place and fantastic location. Host was friendly, proactive and helpful.

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!

Easy enough to figure out to get in and out. Walkable to the beach! Easy/short/cheap Ubers everywhere in the city. Great option, kinda expensive.

Cathy’s place is a gem! Beautiful and in a peaceful location. We were able to walk everywhere. Will definitely stay here again when visiting Santa Barbara.

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!

Guest host. Place was clean, safe and quiet. We had a great time. Thanks Seppi!! 5 stars!!

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!

This is perfect for a couple or a family with 2 small children. The kitchen was well equipped if you want to cook but restaurants are within walking distance. The beach is a block away, as well as a grassy park. Would definitely stay here again!

Great host, great location, fun stay. Highly recommended. Jumped on the surfliner Amtrak and took our kids to the Santa Barbara Zoo. Hung out on the beach just down the road from the apartment. Awesome time!

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

Easy place to find and loved how close it was to everything!

We had a wonderful time. it was peaceful and relaxing. the apartment was clean and well stocked. The beds were very comfortable and the location could not have been better.
