Photos and Description of the Santa Barbara vacation house rental Studio/1 bathroom, sleeps 1-3

Come stay in this luxurious newly built and furnished Mediterranean-style 2nd story casita (or guest studio) which includes such details as gorgeous reclaimed Canadian Douglas Fir wood floors, French entry doors, and custom maple kitchen cabinets with granite tile countertops. The casita encompasses the entire 2nd floor above a detached, free-standing garage --no shared walls and no living spaces below! At 425 square feet inside, it offers a spacious comfortable feeling and tons of amenities.

Location: Central Coast California < California < USA

Nearest Airport: Santa Barbara Airport at 7 Miles
Nearest Beach: beach at 2.0 Miles
In a centrally located neighborhood, this beautiful casita is approximately 1 mile from downtown Santa Barbara or 2 from the harbor and beach -- an easy distance to enjoy all Santa Barbara has to offer. Close to downtown businesses, shopping, museums, restaurants, night clubs, the Santa Barbara Mission, the Botanical gardens, the County Bowl (for live shows), golf courses, the harbor and Stearns Wharf, whale watching, island and coastal boat tours, bike and electric car rentals. Although the casita is in the City, it has a touch of a rural feeling, with large oak and Eucalyptus groves in view on 2 sides, as well as views of the city, Riviera and mountains on the other 2 sides. It is a perfect spot for a relaxing vacation or business trip!

Special Get-away

Ed from Boston Quincy, MA (Boston area)
Review Submitted: October 22, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
My wife & I enjoyed a wonderful long weekend in this casita. Tom & Mary have a beautifully decorated & well maintained place to relax and enjoy the Santa Barbara area. They were very gracious hosts and made the stay a very enjoyable experience. After a long flight from the east coast, it was great to relax. This is better than a hotel. Hope to return again someday.

We had the most wonderful weekend in Santa Barbara at Tom and Mary's casita. The casita is beautiful and Mary's touches, like the fresh flowers, make staying there feel like home - but better! We've been recommending this casita to all of our friends since we returned from vacation and we will definitely stay at the casita again in the future. Very highly recommended!

We had such a great stay at the guest casita in santa barbara and would recommend this to anyone 100%. The location is well appointed, the hosts are so friendly and the property is just beautiful. All the little touches really made a difference, fresh flowers, toiletries you may have forgot, supplies to get you going when you arrive. The property is furnished to a high standard, beautifully decorated, great views of the mountains, and the place feels so homely. We wished we could have stayed longer and if we ever return to santa barbara we will be staying here again. Thanks Tom and Mary.

A Wonderful Home Away from Home

Nylie San Diego
Review Submitted: August 17, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Thank you Tom and Mary for providing such a fantastic place to stay in Santa Barbara. It is nice to know that after all the years that I've escaped to Santa Barbara I've finally found a home that I can truly call my own when I am there.

It was great to be able to take my daily run in your neighborhood, cook delicous meals in your well-equipped kitchen and bbq on the patio grill. I enjoyed it all and will definitely be back!!!

Thank you again!
Nylie

Paradise!

Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
The best time ever! Tom & Mary's Casita is the most relaxing, welcoming, comforting place that we have been too! My boyfriend and I were here for 3 nights and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Tom & Mary have thought of everything you would want while staying in their Casita. From the beautiful view from the balcony to the beautiful decor of the Casita. The kitchen has everything you would need, the entertainment center is well stocked with board games, video games, books to read, and they put together a visitor booklet to help you find your way around SB, how to work the tv, appliances etc. The sofas and throws are so comfty, the bed is georgous with nice cotton sheets and pillows that make you feel like a king and queen . The bathroom is so nice. I wanted to take a bubble bath one night but didn't bring bubbles,but to my surprise my boyfriend was reading the handy information booklet that was put together, and Mary thought of everything a women would need. There in the bathroom was bublle bath and bath crystals with a nice comfty bath pillow. It was lovely just what I needed. We felt so comfortbale and welcomed. We didn't even hear a pin drop it was so nice and quite. I felt so special when I saw the lovely fresh flowers what a perfect touch. Again, Tom and Mary you have put together a LOVELY place. I would recommend your Casita 100%. We just loved sitting out on the balcony waching the sunset, talking and lookinig a the beautiful view. On our last night instead of going out on the town we decided to have a bbq and enjoy our night in the Casita, which was our favorite night. Tom and Mary you are so nice, and made us feel so welcomed thank you for that. I will never forget our time at the Casita it was the most beautiful time ever. Cecilia and Sal
