Eucalyptus Cottage

We ended up booking this property after a previous property (under different management) cancelled on us last minute. And what a lucky break for us! The property is beautiful! The extra amenities (like freshed baked brownies and well stocked kitchen and bathrooms) are above an beyond! The beds were comfortable, the living area spacious and grounds spectacular. We have already decided we will be returning and I will recommend this property to anyone who will listen and wants to spend time in Santa Barbara.

I have nothing but good memories about our stay at Eucalyptus Cottage. The welcome we found for us when we came into the house we totally unexpected. Anyone who is looking for the comfort of a home while spending time in Santa Barbara would be much happier staying here then in a hotel. The place has fantastic views of the ocean and the mountains. It's only minutes from the waterfront and State Street. The house furnishings are very nice and the kitchen has everything anyone would ever need. Both the main house and the cottage are very comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Thank you, Francesca and John, for creating this idyllic oasis for the enjoyment of your fortunate guests. We can only echo the sentiments previously stated. The Views! Landscape! Location! Patio! Welcoming Basket! All Superb.

One particular highlight of our visit was breakfast on the patio while watching humming birds nearby and scrub jays drinking from the bubbling fountain while taking in the beautiful ocean view.

Appreciated the convenience of our proximity to State Street ... Yogurtland is a must as is Jeannine's. Also pleased the cottage was nestled on a private street with other lovely homes.

My husband and I and our friends from Chicago, Robin and Frank, are all very particular ... we found the photos accurately conveyed the charm and elegance of The Eucalyptus Cottage and guest house. We will definitely return.

Thank you for everything ... your gracious touch was everywhere.

We have stayed at this property 4 times. We have
brought friends and family with us and each of
them has nothing but good to say about the
experience. I highly recommend Eucalyptus Hill and
John and Francesca. We hope to return in 2009. The
extra touches have been greatly appreciated. Fresh
brownies, upscale linens and toiletries, etc. Very
nicely done!

During Thanksgiving week, six adults and three babies were delighted with the upscale yet comfortable accommodations. We lacked for nothing in the kitchen, bathrooms and living room. The grounds and views are beautiful. Plus two washers and two dryers came in handy. You can't go wrong renting the main cottage plus guest cottage.

Our family found the Cottage w/guest house and amenities to be an extremely pleasant experience. The accommodations were amazing and comfortable- everything we needed inside, with an exceptional atmosphere outside. The cottage and guest house were very clean and organized and the grounds well- maintained. The neighborhood was quiet and the view breathtaking. We felt at home right away!

We had an absolutely memorable and enjoyable time surrounded by a truly beautiful and serene environment with gorgeous views and accomodations that were spotless, well organized and thoughtfully arranged to give visitors the most enjoyable experience.

The guest house and cottage were wonderful for our family event. Every bedroom was beautiful with its own connecting patio. The cottage was equiped with top name appliances (Wolf stove, soundless Miele dishwasher) ample dishes for a variety of table settings, lots of implements for my budding chef son and daughter to create feasts. We loved all the amenities from trails for the grandchildren to play on to sound system, games, books. A lovely, comfortable and beautiful place for our family gathering with a batch of welcome brownies even.
