Poolside Retreat 

From the moment I drove up the driveway I knew we had a Bingo! The layout of the house was perfect for the 8 of us. Everyone had their privacy when they wished. That said, we spent the vast majority of our time around the pool where the space and privacy were perfect.

Starting off each morning picking your grapefruits and oranges off the trees was the perfect beginning to each day. Downtown is a short easy drive as it is to some great hikes in the hills. Everything was as advertised.

If we return to the area we would definitely stay again. Thanks Wendy!

It Really is a Poolside Retreat!

3 couples recently rented "Poolside" to celebrate our 50th Birthdays...and we are so happy we did. We enjoyed the beautiful gardens, private yard, swimming in the pool, and cooking with the fresh herbs, lemons, limes, and oranges we found on the property. We are from Canada, and spent our days exploring and golfing around Santa Barbara - but we enjoyed coming "home" to cook and eat our meals in the quiet and privacy of the home. Wendy was very helpful in providing suggestions for golf, limousine service for wine tours, and any other info we wanted to know about Santa Barbara. We especially appreciated her professionalism from start to finish in the process - following through in a timely manner with e-mails and phone calls, and leaving us feeling that all is being taken care of. The home was perfect for 3 couples who wanted to be together, but still have our own "space". Thank you!

Beautiful Getaway!

We had a lovely week in this house during our recent family reunion. The home is large enough that everyone has privacy, and most of the decor and features are updated. However, it is casual enough for families with small children to feel comfortable. The best part of this house is definitely the outdoor pool area - beautiful fruit trees, a huge deck area, and a fabulous pool. The location is lovely, a short drive to town but removed in the hills. Walking distance to a great park, the Natural History Museum, and the Santa Barbara Mission. The secret perk that makes it feel luxurious is the white towels - there are tons of them in each bathroom!

A Great House for a Family Vacation!

"Totally Relaxing and enjoyable, what a vacation should be" This is the third year that we have spent our vacation at 'Poolside' in Santa Barbara. As before, the only thing we needed to do was show up and bring some good books to read and our food and drink. This vacation rental home comes with everything else you might possibly need for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. The location is perfect. You fell that you are miles away from everything but in actuality you are only minutes away from downtown, the beaches, restaurants, etc. We hope to be back again next year.

Totally Relaxing and Enjoyable

Fantastic experience from first email enquiry to prompt return of deposit, Wendy is so efficient. The house is amazing, a real one off and it was a privilege to stay there. It is comfortable, clean, spacious and has everything you need to feel at home. The garden is beautiful, quiet and relaxing. An oasis. The plants, wildlife, pool, BBQ and pick your own fruit were all a hit with my family. Overall a fantastic holiday experience.

Amazing
