Guesthouse vacation rentals in Montecito

Tonya's place was perfect for us! The central location right off Main Street in Ojay allowed us to leave the car parked at the AirB&B and walk everywhere. That added to our relaxation. And the restaurants within walking distance offer a huge variety of different tastes. I was surprised how quiet, protected, and safe it felt despite being in the back of a street-facing property yet surrounded by a high wall. The tiny backyard is very romantic and delightful. It has enough furniture that we could have had another 1 to 3 over for a glass of wine sitting under romantic lights if we wanted to. The colorful tiled bathroom is a piece of art - slightly like Hundertwasser! - and worth a visit on its own! I especially appreciated the good quality mattress, lovely bedding, and two different sleeping pillows to choose from. I often struggle to sleep in hotel beds, and Tonya's bed arrangement for her guests is top-notch. When we come back to Ojai, we will always look to book her AirB&B again.

Our family of 5 enjoyed Christmas at Dana's beautiful apartment in Santa Barbara. The neighborhood is perfect location for quiet and a cozy comfortable location. The apartment has great views - much light from the many windows - kitchen well stocked - beds are comfy and we really felt at home staying there. The unit is roomy and we liked having parking on the premisis. Full laundry room was a huge benefit. I recommend this for all ages and occasions. Dana was responsive to our only two requests: help with the Apple TV.

I couldn’t have found a better place to stay if I tried. For the price, the place was incredibly roomy and very conveniently located. Anywhere you need to go in Santa Barbara will be a very short drive away, and lots of great restaurants or stores are within walking distance. The property is beautiful, well kept, and surrounded by fruit trees. I was never disturbed in the slightest by noise or other people. And Miriam couldn’t have been friendlier or more communicative and responsive. She also kindly offered me some of her home-grown bananas—genuinely the best bananas I have ever had. If you have the opportunity to stay here, please do. Once I spent a few days here, I realized how lucky I was to have found it. I doubt any other choice could have come close. Thank you Miriam!

We loved our stay. The casita is close to downtown Santa Ynez and surrounded by horses and cows! The property is private and very quiet and peaceful. We brought our dogs along and were able to walk them in a nearby neighborhood and take them on adventures with us. Jeanne’s place was clean, well appointed and she was very helpful and a clear communicator. One surprise was the tax that was due separate from the paid price to Airbnb. It is stated in the listing that tax was not included but I missed that it would be paid separately. So just note, but we really enjoyed ourselves and would love to come back!

What a great Airbnb in the heart of Ventura. Everything in the home reflected perfection and quality. We loved it. Great cafes walking distance and really peaceful and lovely neighborhood. Highly recommend.

Suzy’s place was exactly what I needed for a relaxing staycation. The views are amazing and it was so easy to get to the beach and the little town. I’d definitely stay here again!

What an outstanding cottage! The space is so comfortable and thoughtfully furnished and the hosts couldn't have been more gracious. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces reserved for the unit - an upper deck as well as the garden patio. We hope to return on our next visit.

Kat is a great host and the petite retreat is stunning -- we loved the outdoor shower and location. Looking forward to visiting again!

An ideal experience. Carola's place is well-located, close to town and restaurants while quiet and peaceful, surrounded by a backdrop of mountains and the sounds of nature. Bed was super comfortable, nice amenities, had everything we needed. The jacuzzi was fabulous and we appreciated the space on the deck for stretching and sitting. My husband and I enjoyed our short time there and would have stayed longer if we could. Highly recommend!

Fabulous studio, walkable to downtown and private. Ana was a great host that made check-in easy. Perfect for a weekend getaway

This was a great place to spend a weekend getaway in Santa Barbara. Hector was so nice and responsive in helping us check in. Neighborhood was quiet and location was close to everything we wanted to do.

A lovely apartment located in walking distance of downtown and a short car ride to Shoreline Park along the Santa Barbara harbor. I appreciated the quiet of the location and the privacy of the apartment. As a remote worker, I had a good WiFi connection and was uninterrupted by other tenants. I highly recommend this space for other remote workers!

Beautiful neighborhood. Finding the home behind the main house was the only tricky part but once you find the road it is easy and worth looking for! We even got to say hello to the horses behind. This place it quiet and only 14 minutes from UCSB. We met our daughter and had a blast. It was easy to go back and forth to the cottage. Would stay here again for sure!

Susan was a great host, and Bungalow Encanto was a perfect place to stay. The amenities inside were so thoughtful, we really appreciated it. The surrounding area couldn't be better, with the beach a short walk away and distance to restaurants so close too. Neighborhood was friendly and welcoming. Very charming experiencing, and and grateful for the opportunity to stay here.

Excellent stay! The place was clean and well equipped. They even had water bottles for us, which was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting SB.

Scott and Erica were amazing host. They made me feel at home, and they were very responsive while I was there.

Such a great stay at an awesome home with beautiful views every day and an amazing kitchen and the hosts are right next door if anything comes up. Super awesome and helpful couple to be around. Thanks again for the awesome stay!!!

My granddaughter and I had the pleasure of staying in this adorable cottage! The bed was amazing, lots of thoughtful extras, wonderful outdoor area which we really enjoyed. The home was spotless and the decor was clean and very cute. I love the clean feeling of the entire house. The location is amazing. We went on several walks in the neighborhood and the grocery store is walkable, as well as restaurants! I'm very happy with my choice!

Came here to celebrate my 50th birthday with friends. The place was pristine and the photos definitely do not do it justice! Loved all the light that came into the place, enjoying our coffee in the comfy kitchen, lounging on the sofa with warm blankets, and ending our night in the hot tub while listening to music from outside speakers. The bed in the master bedroom was so comfy that I had to reach out and ask for the brand. Buying one for myself! The property was very private and we didn’t hear any neighbors. And the garden! The backyard garden was absolutely gorgeous! Definitely coming back here

Fantastic stay at Tom’s place. He was super responsive and helpful and the cottage is charming, clean and comfortable. Only sorry we couldn’t stay longer!

This is my third stay with Travis and Audra. They are very nice and friendly and respectful. Great experience.

This was my third time staying at Elizabeth's. It's never enough time, yet it always maintains to soothe the soul. It's a feel good place that's tailor made for relaxation and peace of mind. The conditions are pristine. perfection. Everything you could possibly want or need has been thought of by Elizabeth. She goes out of her way to make the place feel like home...little candies, coffee/tea station, fresh cut flowers, hand made soaps and furniture....home made enchiladas in the freezer. I am not kidding; this place is heaven. She makes the place so comfortable, that it's VERY hard to leave! If this place is available, I highly recommend renting it. You will not be sorry. It's a special, special place and I can't wait to return.

This place was the perfect stay for a jump-off point to explore summerland, Ojai and Santa Barbara! The place was very clean with great amenities including robes!

Fantastic gem in the heart of Ojai. This place is truly a special find. The unit has a large front porch that is totally private and covered by large trees. The unit itself is spacious and includes a comfortable bed, living room and kitchen. Also included is a backyard and additional unit in the back with an extra bed. I truly enjoyed staying here and relaxing on the porch in the backyard drinking tea. It’s a quick five minute drive into town. The unit was centrally, located to all the parks and activities of Ojai. I even extended an additional night because I was enjoying the stay so much. Erin is a wonderful host and very responsive. The place was super clean and well kept. I will definitely be staying here again. A+
