Tiny Cottage in the Oaks, Midtown Santa Barbara

Enjoy the natural beauty of Santa Barbara minutes from beaches, attractions and wining/dining.

It is perfect for a solo/a traveler or cozy couple with a double (not queen) bed, mini kitchen, and tiny living room. Note that it is very very small. Access requires climbing the stone steps pictured.
