Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Santa Barbara County

Laurie is an amazing host that was readily available when I had questions and left us lovely notes and instructions when we arrived. The home is beautiful and great for a week or weekend getaway with family or friends. My family loved the place and there were no complaints. We would definitely select this location again and we recommend it to anyone who wishes a lovely stay.

I had an amazing stay with my family. I really appreciated that Kate, the co host, messaged us to see if we were doing ok and checking in. The living room space is quite spacious. We love their couches! It was so comfortable and relaxing to lay on. Beds were all comfortable. Had a few pillows to choose from. Me and my husband slept in the master. The bed is on the softer side but still very comfortable. I don’t normally sleep well when I travel and I got one the most rested sleep there. There were plenty of towels for everyone and more. The shower pressure was good and the water was nice and warm. The house was very clean. Loved the elephant decor. They have a great taste in music and enjoyed listening to a few of their albums. I appreciate that they put labels in the showers and on the step. They had a wonderful suggestions on where to go eat. I really feel like the hosts were really intentional in what they put in the house to make it feel like a home away from home.

Beautiful property and great location. My family had an amazing time and really enjoyed the house!

My friends and I booked Chrystine's place for a girls weekend and we all agree we want to visit SYV and stay with Chrystine again. She was the perfect host! The location was lovely on a quiet cul de sac, but also walkable to the main street in town. The property was perfect for us, with comfortable bedrooms, a great living room for hanging out, and a top notch coffee station (which is always VERY important). Don't hesitate to book with Chrystine, you'll love the place!

We had a great stay at Sarah and Mario’s. We were in town for a wedding. Hosts were friendly and quick to respond. They had a good recommendations for local sites. The location is spectacular. You are one block off the main Solvang scene so everything is in walking distance but you are far from the noise. The house is as described and comfortable. The space heaters took some getting used to in each room. The one in the en-suite bedroom made a bit of noise which interrupted some sleep. One of the sleeping spaces is separated from the living room by a curtain which didn’t please our dauther. The kitchen although well stocked with pots, pans and cooking utensils, didn’t include any spices or cooking oils, etc. We did end up finding bulk spices, including salt and pepper available at the Nature’s Market down the road. Ultimately, we had a good stay and enjoyed the house. Lots of room for all of us and great location!

It’s a lovely place to stay and gave us the opportunity to both head north and visit Cambria and Morro Bay, as well as to head out to Lopez Lake and Oso Flaco to enjoy birding and nature. There are a number of really wonderful places to eat all along the central coast. We highly recommend Giuseppe‘s in Pismo Beach and Bob’s Well Bread in Los Alamos.

Great place would stay again

Heidi’s home provided a wonderful vacation home base for my family’s vacation. Heidi and Susie were very friendly and responsive from booking through check-out. Everything in the home was as described. Worth paying extra to have the pool heated and when any glitches came up, they responded quickly and effectively. Great location and very comfortable, well stocked house! The pool and hot tub were a huge bonus. My entire family agreed we would definitely return to this rental for our annual Santa Barbara trip. Thank you for a lovely stay!!

This charming, comfy and classic stay makes you feel like a lucky local. (It will also make you want to paint your walls lemon and melon colors.) The apt and walkable neighborhood were perfect for our family- 2 adults, 1 teen - so easy to stroll out the door to everywhere. A fantastic home base for exploring Santa Barbara.

Dave is a great host. The apartment is beautiful. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking equipment. I had a couple of small things come up during my stay, but Dave took care of them right away (even on a Saturday evening!). There was some noise from the street and the equipment on the building but nothing that a pair of basic ear plugs couldn’t handle. All in all I had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again!

The apartment was very clean and matched the photos exactly. Everything inside made it feel like home, and not like I was staying at someone else’s home. Maureen was incredibly responsive both before and after booking. I had reached out to ask about bringing my pup, which is why I booked this listing. There were no restrictions other than being house trained. My pup loved the dog bed (which he doesn’t use in our home!). The location & neighbors were great, very friendly! The bottle of wine in the fridge was such a nice treat and very much appreciated! Would definitely stay again!

very clean. a little difficult to find initial. the photos made it seem like a separate unit but it is an apt building. the inside was amazing and clean. the beds were firm and comfortable. overall a great place.

This was absolutely amazing!!! Planning on booking here again when I come back! It was a safe, fun, unique stay, and it was so enjoyable and cozy. Everything from start to finish was perfect. The whole process was seamless and the room was comfortable. Woke up feeling refreshed and ready to start the day!

Nice, bright, super clean and great location! Easy check-in and better than the pictures. Definitely recommend!

We were in Santa Barbara to attend a wedding. decided it would be fun to take the train down. 3 Dux was a 10-minute walk from the station and a 10-minute walk from the wedding venue at one of the museums off of State Street. ideal location for our situation with the beach, ‘the funk zone’, State Street with oodles of great restaurants and shopping, wonderful museums all within easy walking distance. Baby Dux was cozy and clean and had basically all we needed for a terrific stay. Confident to say we will be back! Thanks again, Debbie!

We loved the location and how comfortable the beds were! It is a little tricky at first to see the parking spot and we were coming in at night but we found it and had a great time. The location is amazing! Right down by everything!

Jane’s place was very comfortable for our 10-day stay. The light was lovely, the kitchen easily accommodated two people cooking together, and each room was larger than I expected, vs. many airbnb rentals that are smaller than you expect based on the photos. It is an easy walk to a great produce market that has everything you need, Stearns Wharf, a delightful zoo, a bird refuge and of course East Beach. I took advantage of beach yoga there. Reunion kitchen at the CaBrillo Pavillion was very convenient and the food was quite good. Great latte!

We absolutely loved our stay here. The house was clean, cozy and fully stocked. We spent lots of time on the porch enjoying the view and watching all the happenings on the beach, talking to neighbors and the staff at Slappy’s next door and our evening campfires. We will definitely be staying here again! There are 2 parking spots in the garage ideal for smaller cars or SUVs and a lot across the street that charges $20 a day where we parked our Tundra.

This Airbnb stay was an absolute gem! The location couldn't have been more perfect. It’s just a short, pleasant walk away from a pristine and quiet beach where we could unwind and relax without the crowds. The neighborhood itself exudes tranquility and safety, making it an ideal retreat. Plus, it’s conveniently close to all sorts of amenities, from local eateries to ethnic shops. Norma and Uni truly went above and beyond. They were incredibly responsive, promptly addressing any queries and catering to our needs. Their attentiveness and hospitality added a personal touch that made our stay even more enjoyable. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful beach getaway or a cozy base to explore the area, this place checks all the boxes. I highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again!

Rob is definitely a super host, and the location is so enjoyable, with walking distance to the sand, and town! My fiance and I will definitely look forward to another stay, and recommend this place to anyone looking for a calm relaxing get away.

My wife and I spent a weekend at Eileen’s and all I can say is, it was one of the best experiences I’ve had on AirBnB. Eileen was super helpful and responsive, sent clear instructions, the place was exactly what we were hoping it would be, and Carpinteria is a beautiful town, wonderful people. We cannot recommend Eileen’s place strongly enough!

Shamim’s place was perfect. It’s a really nice condo in a cute neighborhood. Hueneme beach is indeed only a 5 minute walk from the condo and is a really beautiful beach. The club house indoor pool and hot tub were also a great bonus for our stay. We really appreciate the clear instructions before our arrival and the amenities were nice. The beds were comfortable and the living room with the large tv was nice for a family movie night one evening. The condo is also close to Point Magu State Park which was another highlight of our trip hiking and checking out tide pools. We had a really nice stay and a fantastic trip!

Can't say enough great things about this Airbnb or the host! Check in was easy and Autumn made everything so smooth for us! She was detailed with her instructions and very responsive. The airbnb itself was fantastic!! It was spotless, clean, best location, great views and walkable to anything you need. I will definitely be staying there again for all future Santa Barbara locations! Highly recommend this airbnb!

This by far is one of the best properties I've stayed at! It's at a great location!Plus, Rachel gave such a warm welcome! She's a fantastic! It's been the perfect getaway!. And again, Thank you so very much for your continued support to First r Responders and Veterans! I look forward to rebooking again soon! God Bless! :)
