Three Bed Ro Duplex #B, full kitchen, 1 bathroom

AgnesRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We had a great stay here! The location was perfect—super close to UCSB and the Amtrak station, which made it really convenient for our quick weekend trip. We were in town for our daughter’s senior cello recital, and this place worked out so well. The home has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, which suited our needs perfectly. It was free of clutter and comfortable, though it could have been a bit cleaner. Still, it was a cozy and functional space. The bathroom was stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and toilet paper, which was great. Just a heads-up: the lotion and toothpaste were empty, so it’s a good idea to bring your own for convenience and hygiene. The kitchen is fully equipped, although we only used the microwave and fridge during our stay. We appreciated that they provided drinking water, and parking space—such a nice touch. Be careful not to get a parking ticket on the street. Overall, we had a lovely time and would definitely stay here again.

Goodland Getaway: Home w/ heated pool & hot tub

Ken-IchiRating, 5 stars1 week ago

A real gem. Aside from the stuff you can check off on an AirBNB form (clean, stylish, etc), this is a house that obviously was or is lived in, not just a property someone bought to rent out and filled with the shortest possible Target shopping list they could get away with. The kitchen is comprehensively set up with quality appliances and tools, and the bedrooms had actual bedside lamps that you could read by *and* turn off without getting out of bed.

Cute & Cozy 2bd/1ba SB Homestay

MandiRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Mikel provided such detailed directions on how to find the property and how to check-in. The unit was as described and looked like the photos. It was peaceful and private. It was just a short drive to town where we had an amazing supper. Although the unit does not have a kitchen, Mikel provides a coffee/tea station and a mini fridge/freezer. We really appreciated the snacks that were in the room upon our arrival. We were travel-hungry and it really helped. I enjoyed hearing the sounds of the various animals - dogs and horses. Even though the unit does not have air conditioning the windows are in excellent working order with intact screens so that you can open the windows and get a wonderful breeze. The beds were comfortable with fresh linens and LOTS of pillows. The bathroom was clean and the shower had plenty of hot water. Perhaps the family was out of town during our visit, because we never heard any noise from their attached home. Excellent stay overall.
