Romantic Beach Bunny Cottage-Santa Barbara, Calif! 2-blocks to beach

My wife and I visited my step-son, who started school at UC, SB. Our advance plan was to spend the first evening and then the last night with them, dinners etc., and basically travel around. Our son and his fiance could not contain themselves with enthusiasm for all of Santa Barbara they wanted to share with us: the museums, historic sights, beaches, mountain wineries, beautiful trails and vistas.So we made 2 side trips, to the Getty in LA, and and a picturesque mountain town, Sant Ynez; other than that we spent delicious family time together with them and the lush, easy ambiance of Santa Barbara. The Beach Bunny Cottage was the comfortable hub to all of our daily activities. The cottage is very well appointed and helped to make all our comings and goings a pleasure. We especially cherished the casual mornings, sipping fresh brewed coffe on the front porch or back deck.

We just spent 2 weeks at Bunny Cottage. It's as close to ideal as one can find. Spacious living room with gas fireplace we used every day, with pleasant porch out front. Large, quiet bedroom in the back with nice furniture on quiet deck surrounded by 30 ft tall bamboo plants. Upstairs loft perfect for kids. Two full baths. One block from beach and marina with all its activity and restaurants. Two small grocery stores just around the corner. Close to historic State Street with many delightful restraurants and shopping. The cottage was spotlessly clean and fully equipped. The owner (Bunny) was very helpful. You just can't go wrong here.

This is a tremendous cottage in the heart of Santa Barbara. The location is extremely close to State Street, the Wharf, the Beach and the train station (important if you were not renting a car and coming in from LA).

The cottage was extremely clean and provided everything we needed from linens and towels, pots and pans and even bar soap for the shower. This is truly a place where all you need to bring is your bags. Bunny meets you at the beginning of your trip and provides a quick walkthrough of the house. Bunny is a wonderful person and made herself available for any questions throughout your stay.

My wife and rented bikes and biked all around town without any issues. In the evenings we woud walk to State Street to enjoy a nice meal and had no problems walking back to the cottage as it was well within walking distance (1 mile or less).

You do not want to miss the Farmer's Market...one of the best around. Do not worry about bringing a bag with you as Bunny has provided bags in the kitchen for groceries. We took one bag and had no problem fitting everything we needed for a nice romantic dinner at the cottage.

We really enjoyed Pace and Pierre LaFond for dinner. If you make your way to Montecito definitely check out Trattoria Mollie (great Italian). If you are looking for a little yoga when you are in Santa Barbara definitely check out Yoga Soup...great classes and walking distance from the cottage. For coffee, check out French Press (2 locations) and Santa Barbara Roasting Company (really close to the cottage). Also check out D'Angelo Bread and Bakery for a good breakfast (also close to the cottage).

My wife and I had a tremendous time in Santa Barbara and the Beach Bunny Cottage. The Beach Bunny Cottage is a wonderful/romantic place to celebrate a special occassion or just a relaxing family vacation. If our travels ever take us through Santa Barbara again we will definitely be renting the Beach Bunny Cottage.

Thanks Bunny for a wonderful vacation cottage,
