Photos and Description of the Santa Ynez vacation apartment rental
2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-6)

Cozy two bedroom vacation rental within walking distance of the historic town of Santa Ynez. Embraced by a majestic California Oak, this second floor apartment has one bedroom with a queen-sized bed, one bedroom with a double bed, one bathroom, a living room with a convertible bed (double) and a full kitchen. The beautiful Santa Ynez Valley is the gateway to the Santa Barbara Wine Country, home to over 60 vineyards and wineries. The Santa Ynez Valley was the location for the filming of the Academy Award winning movie Sideways, and the wineries and restaurants featured in the movie make great destinations. Other sites of interest include the Danish Village of Solvang, the Chumash Casino, Cachuma Lake, historic landmarks, outdoor theatre, art galleries, lavender farms, fruit orchards, and miniature horse ranches. In addition, the lovely beach town of Santa Barbara is only a 35 minute drive (along the Pacific Coast or through Los Padres National Forest).
About John Fowler

Fine time in Santa Ynez

We really enjoyed our stay in John and Susan's cozy two bedroom apt. It's in a great location, and even my 88 year old dad and 83 year old mom were able to walk into town for dinner. The full kitchen was really nice, and the little outdoor patio area was great for enjoying a glass of wine in the evening. We would definitely stay there again.

My son and I loved the 2 bedroom apartment- clean and with plenty of space and little amenities, like the coffee and tea. Gave us all the room we wanted with the great location to take advantage of all the area had to offer at a great price. And John was very laid back and a perfect host.

Our return stay as good as the first!

We just finished a week's stay and it was just as good as our first time here a year ago! Very quiet, clean and comfortable location. Easy to access surrounding areas and the owners are more than wonderful!
We love being able to cook our own meals in the kitchen and the washer and dryer for our laundry is a huge plus!
This place sets the bar for any future rentals we will look into at VRBO. While in Santa Ynez, we won't stay anywhere else.
Owner's Response: Shelly and Forest, Thank you for your kind review. We so enjoyed your visit and hope that the remainder of your trip went well? Forest thank you for your work on my bike. I feel alot safer now out there on the trails. We will definitely keep you in mind if we travel to the midwest in the future. You are always welcome here at Shady Oak and hope we will see you both again soon. Oh thanks for the wonderful pasta salad as well. Healthy eats are important these days! John, Sue, and Sajan

My husband and I stayed here with another couple and we found the apartment to have plenty of room. Originally when looking at the photos online we thought that the apartment was upstairs from another apartment, but we were happy to learn that it was actually over a detached garage. Also, we felt that the place was much more polished that what the photos showed (a nice surprise). Finally we were thankful that the kitchen was well stocked with basics like spices, flour, sugar, and olive oil. The only things missing that we could have used was a mixing bowl, cinnamon, and a casserole dish. We will defiantly be back.
Owner's Response: Suzanne thank you for your review. We are happy that you had such a nice stay. Thanks for the comments as we are always looking at ways to impove our rental. We hope to see you back for a visit in the not too distant future. Remember that next time you visit us you get a 10% discount. Regards, John & Sue

Perfect for Holiday Get-Away

My wife and I were kidless for the Thanksgiving weekend so we snuck away to Santa Ynez for wine-tasting, hiking, sleeping, and eating. Our stay at Shady Oak was perfect. We met John upon arriving and took care of some business. Then we enjoyed the quiet, clean apartment. Everything we needed was there, including a fully stocked kitchen for cooking. It also had a full washer and dryer, movies, books, and games for kids and adults.

It was perfectly situated in Santa Ynez, a quick walk into downtown. We also were only 10 minutes away from Los Olivos and Solvang, so it was easy to get to all of our destinations.

We would definitely stay again!
Owner's Response: Kevin thank your for your kind review. We are glad you had such a nice time over Thanksgiving weekend. We look forward to seeing you folks again and remind me when you reserve next time about our 10% repeat visitor discount. Have a great holiday season. John
