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!

Jaxbme Seattle, WA
Review Submitted: June 10, 2009 Date of Stay: 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!

Santa Barbara Vacation

Lo Lo San Francisco
Review Submitted: April 30, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We had a wonderful experience. My boyfriend and I are from San Francisco we wanted to visit his family that lived in Santa Barbara and also have a quite four days to ourselves away from our hectic lives. This place was exactly what we were looking for in terms of relaxation. The owner David and Saral are very nice and accommodating people. This is a place that i would recommend to our friends.

Review Submitted: April 22, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Sycamore cottage is a lovely little getaway tucked in
the trees. It is perfect for one, but even more
perfect for two! Romantic and picturesque, follow
the little path down to your own private hideaway. I
thoroughly enjoyed my time there and found all of
the comforts of home. David and Saral own the
cottage and are always ready with suggestions of a
great beach walk, romantic restaurant, yoga studio
or a long hike. And though they are available, they
definitely leave you to yourself. The cottage is a
fantastic restful little spot. I will definitely be back
for many years to come!

Review Submitted: January 6, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
My husband and I recently stayed at this lovely cottage. It's intimate size and beautiful garden put you in an instant peaceful mood. Wander down the flagstone steps to the garden, and you'll find a Bocce Ball court! The area is perfect...incredibly quiet and serene, yet close to everything; the freeway, renowned State St. for shopping, dining and entertainment, and the added ease of grocery stores, coffee shops, and Blockbuster right around the corner! Although we weren't fortunate enough to meet the innkeepers, the neighbors are incredibly gracious and nice. Even if they don't know you, they'll wave as you leave and return. If you're looking for a "pause" in life, Sycamore Cottage is where you need to go.
