Photos and Description of the Santa Barbara vacation cottage rental
1bedroom, 1 Bath, Sleeps 2

You walk through a hand-crafted gate, down a long stone path, through an apple arbor, past a koi pond, through a gate and arrive at your own private deck shaded by oak trees and comfortable with a hammock, dining area & lounge. Apricots, grapes, figs and plums (in season) all within reach. You open French doors, enter the cottage where you first see the Queen-sized bed under stained-glass windows that looks out into a succulent garden. Panning the room, you take in the comfy couch which faces paned windows looking out onto the garden, a flat-screen TV and art created by friends of ours. You tuck your belongings away in the walk-in closet and go pour yourself a glass of wine in the fully equipped kitchen with honed black granite counter tops and handmade beach stone drawer pulls. With music playing on the stereo, you draw yourself a bath in the claw-foot tub, or head out onto the deck and relax in the hammock, or lounge, or you cuddle up in bed and admire the open, zen-like space.

A CONFUSING NOTE -- the marker doesn't actually point to the cottage, it points to our mailbox which is more than 1/10th of a mile away from the cottage. And to further confuse things, the lane that our home is on is unnamed and not on the map, but if you draw an imaginary line from the mailbox, perfectly perpendicular to Hope Avenue, all the way to the blue line (which is the creek below the cottage) that's where the cottage sits. Our home is slightly above it, about 150 feet away.

Wow!

5 of 5
Submitted: June 10, 2009 Stayed: May 2009
We could not have picked a better place to stay! After much time spent looking for a place online, we finally came across this one and I'm so glad we did. The pictures do not do it justice. It is much bigger in size then it looks online and the surrounding trees and overall ambiance cannot be expressed in the photos. It is very secluded and quiet and if we had more time, we would have been happy spending the whole day on the private porch, in the hammock. The vibe feels as though you might be far away in the mountains, but you're actually only a few blocks from State St. and close everything else we wanted to do in town. David and Saral are wonderful and very welcoming. They offered all the advice we needed on where to go and what to do. My only regret is not staying for a longer period of time. I plan to go back again soon!

Wonderful stay

We stayed at the cottage for the month of March. It was charming, secluded, and is exactly as shown in the pictures. The host David was an absolute pleasure to deal with, and was always ready to make our stay comfortable. We walked to all the stores and restaurants in the area, and you almost don't need a car. It feels like you are away from everything, yet it is very central. We sat in the sun every day on the deck, listening to the birds, and were sad to leave.

Wonderful experience - cozy and secluded and simply beautiful!

We stayed at the cottage over New Years as the first guests in 2013. It is simply wonderful. The garden surrounding it and the quiet, the stars at night, the cozy bed .... it's simply perfect! We loved it all and will return. You cannot go wrong renting this cottage - the owner is super accomodating and kind and the cottage is just a short drive from State Street with its hustle and bustle but the cottage feels like it is somewhere very secluded. The owner, David, has created a true sanctuary here - thank you! My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer!

Sycamore Cottage was exactly as described and pictured. We spent four nights at the end of December and absolutely loved our stay. David and Saral are wonderful hosts and made sure we had everything we needed and knew where to go in Santa Barbara. It was the perfect way to wind down after the holidays.

We will be back!

Peaceful Haven, perfect get away

If you're looking for a charming, secluded hide away, look no further. It was just what my husband and I needed. Convenient to shopping, but quiet.
David was extremely warm and welcoming.
We typically stay at high end hotels and resorts. The last time we were in the area we stayed at the San Ysidro Ranch, for 6 times the cost. No more, this will be our destination of choice in the Santa Barbara area from now on.
