Dream Vacation

I worked hard to select the right place for my Santa Barbara retreat. I looked at countless homes and hotels. I am so happy to be able to share this great find with others who are looking for a get away cottage filled with loving touches. Even a kitchen that has fresh olive oil, a carrot peeler and a blender! Really nothing was left unthought of. Every request was quickly filled. I loved the sunny deck space, the colorful painted interior, the cheerful bed quilts.
The property was so clean, the bath tub so comfortable, I just wish I lived there!

Lovely cottage

We spent almost three months in this wonderful cottage and purely enjoyed this lovely place, which made us feel like we were in paradise!
The rooms are very bright and delightful with lots of charming details, and the location is simply perfect: being surrounded by tropical plants in the fabulous garden enabled us to relax in privacy and being close to downtown Santa Barbara meant that we could even walk to some of the cafes and restaurants.
We would love to come back!

Very good vibe to this cottage. Small but cozy. Nice separation of space when traveling with children. We didn't use the outdoors much, since it rained during our visit. But the inside was a cozy place to curl up and read. There was a concert at the nearby amphitheater one night, which was actually kind of fun to enjoy from afar. In retrospect, wish we had gotten tickets and joined in. Only downside was it wasn't terribly central for walking... we found that we used the car a lot. We ended up renting a bike and enjoyed tooling around the area. Would definitely stay here again. It's a winner.

The Island Getaway was so wonderful to stay at and so close to everything we needed. The cottage is so bright and airy and just absolutely charming. Sitting out on the deck in the evenings and mornings were very relaxing, quiet and peaceful. We so enjoyed our stay and Karen was more than accomodating and everything you need is supplied. We will definitely be coming back again on our next visit to Santa Barbara. Thank you so much for a great place for a great weekend our family loved it :)

Aloha by the Bowl

5 of 5
Submitted: September 28, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
This gem is a great place to kick back on the very private deck, then go enjoy a great show across the street at the beautiful Santa Barbara Bowl. We were instantly charmed by the decor, and it is very generously furnished with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. You will feel the Aloha the moment you step in the door. (Really comfy beds!)

From the moment I walked it, I felt as though I was borrowing a good friend's house. Sweet cottage tucked behind a tall hedge. Everything was bright and full of color. Flowers in every room. Books and a good radio/CD machine. Lots of large fluffy towels. A well stocked kitchen. Two bikes in the garage + boogie boards, beach chairs, and beach towels. And there was more than enough room for visitors. Also only a mile or so from the Saturday farmers' market and State Street...on a bus route. Also less than a block from the Santa Barbara Bowl --. My few calls to the landlords in the first day or so about tiny issues were answered and resolved quickly. I'm planning to come back again and again.

A little slice of paradise

5 of 5
Submitted: June 21, 2011 Stayed: June 2011
As our adolescent daughter said, this place was a "little slice of paradise". Photos accurately depict the charm of this place, but don't quite capture the warm feeling you'll get when stepping inside the gate! It made for the perfect 5 day get-away for our family of four. Quiet neighborhood, within a nice walk to State St. and a quick walk to "La Super Rica" taqueria--Yum!
The cottage was clean and well-cared for, the owners responsive and kind, the overall vibe one of calm, fun and relaxation.
We look forward to our next escape to "our" cottage in Santa Barbara!

I never wanted to leave! The cottage is colorful, cheery, warm and welcoming. Karen was so easy to work with in making all the advance arrangements, and left wonderful touches like fresh flowers and a basket of treats for us to enjoy on arrival. The deck was a lovely spot to relax and the cottage itself felt very homey and cozy. When can I come back?
