Perfect luxury getaway two blocks from Oldtown State Street!

Charming and cozy little house in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara built in 1915. The rooms are small (Think Parisian Hotel for a size comparison) but well-appointed and quaint. You'll find a place to hang your hat, charge your phone, rest your fee, set your glass and simply relax.

Great for guests who want to experience a genuine downtown local experience. One block from the Saturday Farmer's Market. Two blocks east of State Street and Joe's Cafe (highly recommended), French Press Coffee, theaters, shopping...
The back yard is the sanctuary and my favorite place to take afternoon naps under the wisteria.

My travels around the world have taken me to some incredible hotels and I owned and operated a yacht charter business for 12 years (as Chef, Steward, First Mate and Cruise Director), taking guests to the from the Channel Islands in five star luxury so attention to comfort is of upmost importance to me. The house is equipped with a full kitchen, quality linens, towels, comfortable rugs and furnishings, and if you've forgotten your toothbrush, razor, sunscreen, hair dryer, or shaving cream, you don't have to walk the (one block) down the street to the store.

There are bicycles (and helmuts/locks) for your use, a BBQ for backyard entertaining, a Bose portable music system that connects to your music library so you can have your music in any room, a game table for an impromptu chess, backgammon, or card game, and a new TV with Netflix and Wi Fi.

A few times per year, my neighbor has a party in his backyard. I never know when it's going to happen. Although they have generally been good about abiding by the noise curfew of 10 pm, I cannot guarantee that there would be some noise coming from the backyard at some point throughout the year. If that happens, a call to me and me stopping by to speak to them generally brings the noise level down! They are very respectful. They just like to have fun sometimes.

A small house which had everything for a short break. The outside space was a perfect retreat. The beds were extremely comfortable with lovely linens. We used the bbq outside, and loved sitting around the fire pit as the evenings cooled. Dawn was very helpful and I had excellent communication with her.

Really close to State Street restaurants and shopping. Dawn has really made an oasis in the space allotted. We had 2 adults, a 5 year old, and a dog. There was plenty of space for all!

We had a great week in Santa Barbara. We’re from the Seattle area and needed some sunshine. The house is in a wonderful location…so much nearby…the beach, State Street, the Funk Zone, etc. Even though the house is small, it had everything we needed and many spaces to relax. Dawn is incredible and was quick to respond to our questions and requests. We would definitely stay here again!

We stayed for two nights, and it was lovely. The back yard is a highlight. Great sitting/reading area. Lovely nooks and efficient layout. Perfect for my boyfriend and two friends. We walked to the SB Bowl for Sofi Tukker and it was perfect.

This house is absolutely beautiful and Dawn is a wonderful host. My now husband and I stayed here for our wedding weekend and it was absolutely perfect. We loved using the fire pit in the back, and all the wisteria in the front and back yards were perfect for my getting ready pictures. We will definitely be back!
