Special Get-away

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.

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!

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

We were very pleased that the whole experience was much, much better than we could have imagined. The casita was immaculate and very well appointed. Fluffy towels, excellent bedding, fully equipped kitchen. An entertainment centre. Even fresh flowers in our room. Everything was spotless.
There were numerous small appliances and the frig was stocked with a few essentials, such as coffee, cream, jams to get us started.
We sat on the deck with a glass of wine watching the lights come on in Santa Barbara while our steaks grilled on the BBQ. Truly a home away from home.
An information book for guests listed all the points of interest and shopping areas in Santa Barbara.
Tom and Mary are excellent hosts. Only too willing to help, but never intruding on their guests.
I would whole-heartedly recommend Tom and Mary's casita to anyone looking for a home base to see the Santa Barbara area and wine country. A lovely spot to come home to after a day of wine tasting and sightseeing.

What a great casita in a beautiful location! We just got back to Scottsdale and we are rested and relaxed. Mary and Tom are great hosts and make you feel very much at home. The casita is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It didn't take long before we felt at home. Plus the view is spectacular. You can sit out on the patio with your glass of wine and see the mountains. It is close to State Street and the beach. We will recommend this casita to all our friends.

Staying at this beautiful casita was a real pleasure.Not only was the casita delightful but the hosts Tom and Mary were so welcoming and friendly.The accommodation was of a high standard and absolutely perfect for my wife(a New Zealander) and myself.The casita is in a very convenient location just a few minutes drive from central Santa Barara.I would thoroughly recommend this property and I know that we will want to stay there again sometime in the not too distant future

I needed a few days of disconnecting from everything, going somewhere by the sea where I didn't know anyone, but walking distance from good places to eat and drink. I picked Santa Barbara at random, and can't believe my good fortune in finding the Casita and Mary and Tom. I had a wonderful week. Mary and Tom were wonderful hosts. Striking a perfect balance between hospitality and respecting my privacy. The Casita was charming! It was wonderfully designed, warm and inviting.

I can't thank Tom and Mary enough for their hospitality, and their great sense of interior/exterior design. The Casita was a treat!
