Wonderful house
We rented this home for 3 weeks to work remotely and take advantage of the beach, surf camp for the kids, etc. The host was great at communicating all the details and quick to respond to any questions. The house is lovely in a beautiful neighborhood, with all the amenities and comforts needed for a relaxing stay. Thank you!

Wonderful California Mid Century Modern Home
The home is lovely - tucked away up on the mountains of Santa Barbara but super close to town and the Botanical Gardens. And the wineries in the Santa Ynez Valley! Isa and Darryl were great, very responsive and provided thorough instructions on various things around the home. Kitchen was well-equipped and we loved using the Peloton since it was unfortunately a very rainy & cold week. We were hoping to live outside - wonderfully landscaped outdoor living spaces, but the weather didn't allow us to. Highly recommend this property - super clean, nicely decorated. Perfect for our family gathering over the holidays. We enjoyed the Christmas tree and lights as well! Very festive! Thank you for a great family gathering.
