Cottage vacation rentals in Santa Barbara County

We really enjoyed our stay at Dana's cottage. It was very clean and comfortable with a kichen that had everything we needed to cook great meals. The neighbors were friendly and it was in a great location for enjoing all Ventura and the surrounding area has to offer!

Great place to stay. Very clean, had everything we needed, tastefully decorated, nice small details (lots of outlets by night stand, great hand soap…). Fantastic location: residential and quiet yet at walking distance to restaurants. Rachel was very responsive. Highly recommend

Jennifer is an extremely hospitable and generous host! She was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay and always with a friendly demeanor. We had a fantastic time at the Fantastical Cottage! Jennifer's place is truly magical and my wife was constantly thinking she was in a wonderland! Very much looking forward to returning some time very soon.

This place is truly magical! The location was great, nestled in nature with beautiful surroundings that make you feel fully immersed in the outdoors and yet it's fairly close to the bustling/fun town of Santa Barbra. Waking up to the sound of birds singing in the morning was so peaceful and the fresh farm eggs were the perfect touch! The outdoor shower was definitely a highlight, the warm water made it feel like a luxury. We couldn't have asked for a better place to unwind and relax. Jennifer was also extremely kind and accommodating, always checking-in to ensure we had everything we needed. 10/10 recommend, we will definitely be coming back!

Alan’s place is really great with its proximity to downtown Santa Barbara and all the fun restaurants and activities. Alan was a great host. The beds are comfortable and you have everything you need. I will look to book here again on the next visit to Santa Barbara.

What a peaceful place tucked in a quiet hilltop full of nature surroundings. Absolutely no traffic/people noise and lots darkness with an incredible view when the fog rolls away. It blew our minds! A perfect base of operations for a week stay with all we needed and the host right next door (over a private gate) which was helpful when we had a few needs that he responded quickly and kindly. We were impressed how close we were to things even though it felt like we were far, far away. We cannot wait to stay there again! Note to those that drive a Tesla, do NOT use the car gps/maps. It won’t get you there in a direct route. Use Google maps. Plan at least one evening to enjoy the night sky from the hot tub and deck with fire table and grill. It’s not to be missed.

Jonah’s place was absolutely fabulous and peaceful. We really enjoyed making good use of the bbq and had some great drinks and got to know Jonah, who is very friendly and knows all the ins and outs of the area. With his great recommendations we were able to have a fabulous dinner at a popular restaurant in the city and I have to say that pasta was probably the best I’ve had in a while. We felt very at home and safe during our stay. We loved the fur friends that the property came with and would love to visit again in the future ! Thanks for the hospitality !

Highly recommend this place. We will likely return. We have a family of 4 and the fact that it was fenced in, and the kids could be outside wandering around within the fence was pretty awesome. We made great use of the hot tub and the outside dining area. Our 4 year old really enjoyed exploring the rooms and the loft beds. It is just large enough that everyone can have their own separate space, and just small enough to keep an eye on everyone easily. It was also very close to downtown Carpinteria.

George’s place was the perfect beach getaway! The house was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The location can't be beat - just a short walk to the beach made it so convenient to enjoy the sand and surf. The host was welcoming and check-in was a breeze. I had a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend this rental to anyone looking for an amazing beach vacation. Five stars all the way!

Close to downtown Solvang, as we needed. Instructions were clear to find. Was a little chilly at night, we didn’t use the heaters provided. But plenty of blankets on the bed for warmth. You will get nice light in the morning and day, as the curtains are a lighter color. But was not overbearing. Rustic feeling in the cottage, so if you are more of a hotel type of person, might not be your style. I loved the ambiance. Was just enough of what I needed for a quick stay. There is another cottage across from you and you will hear talking or noise, so also keep that in mind. Our neighbors were fine, so did not bother me. Thank you for the stay! Great olive and lavender farm down the road ! Lots of wineries!

We loved our stay at Dawn’s place! It was very clean and very well-stocked with everything we needed. We loved the outdoor space as well

Nice spot with a lot to do around it, super friendly people everywhere. House was nice and clean and it’s in a quiet neighborhood besides the airport.

This place was very cute and met our needs for our time in the area. We had an unexpected departure and the host was gracious and flexible. We appreciated that this location was so close to the beach and also some really cute places to eat. The unit is nestled into the trees and is very quiet. The unit was also clean upon arrival and we didn't have any issues during our time there. We would love to return another day!

Kim and Tom’s Camp Cottonwood house is beautiful and comfortable. Everything works as expected and supplies are well-stocked. The backyard is awe-inspiringly spacious — big enough to host a wedding, we joked. Their home is a gem in Los Alamos, convenient and cozy. Los Alamos is a cute village that’s close to Santa Maria and Solvang. Kim and Tom are very welcoming hosts. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Honestly, the pictures don’t do it justice.

What a great spot! There is a lot to do within walking distance but there are a lot of stairs to get to the main thoroughfare. The cottage was super cozy for a tiny house. The kitchen had amenities for the first morning which was helpful after a day of travel. We wished we had more time to spend there but there was so much to do in Ventura.

Fantastic area and location. Right by the beach you can easily walk there. Loved our stay everything was amazing and easily set up for us Thank you again Nancy !

A wonderful stay. Great proximity to the surrounding towns and wineries - all in driving distance. The Airbnb was comfortable and homely. Would stay again if visiting the area.

Excellent stay! Very welcoming and the place was perfect for the weekend, very spacious for a longer stay too! Host was very prompt and left clear instructions!

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying a few days at Melissa's cottage home. What a perfect place! We felt so comfortable and safe, and little details really added to our visit. I loved how she placed cozy blankets on the porch chairs as well as a thick one by the fireplace heater, where you could sit for a cup of tea and prop your feet up. The bed was so comfortable and warm! She added plants and beautiful art on the walls that really brought life to the space. The kitchen was very clean, with a nice refrigerator and freezer. She had just enough of kitchen gadgets, not too overcrowded with extra stuff. just useful tools. Even though I brought my own tea, I liked how there was a variety there to sample. I ended up leaving one from my own collection that is my favorite for the next guest to enjoy. If you get a chance to be a guest at this sweet place, take it! I found it very peaceful and comfortable!

Our stay with Elizabeth at the Swell was fantastic! She was responsive to all questions asked, as well as being very accommodating. The home was quiet and comfortable. We had a perfect weekend in Ventura thanks to our wonderful accommodations!

The pictures don’t do it justice this place is great! Only a 5 minute walk into town and the same for the beach. Our pup had a great time in the backyard area as well. Definitely recommend

Debra was such an amazing host!! She took my friends and I in during the fire evacuations in LA and was so helpful during our entire stay. She brought us fresh eggs from her friend's farm and gave us great recommendations for places to explore in the area. The cabin was so cute and cozy, we all felt so at home! Thank you Debra!!

Excellent stay. My wife and I stayed there for 8 nights in late February and our experience was in line with the Airbnb add and reviews. Clean house, spacious, comfortable and practical for two people. The kitchen is well equipped and we prepared most our meals there. Easy drive to town (6-8 minutes). The house is surrounded by cute little citrus ranches and beautiful houses. Tyler is a generous host and the house was stocked with amenities and goodies upon our arrival. Also of note, we had to do a number of zoom calls from the house and Tyler’s WiFi handled it without a problem. All in all a flawless stay, I wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else upon my next visit to Ojai. Thank You Tyler for hosting us !

Love this place and the hosts. Stayed here for the M2B marathon. Amazing location by the beach very clean and great if you like to cook or take a walk on the beach. Close enough you don’t need shoes to walk to the beach.
