Family-friendly vacation rentals in Santa Barbara

Absolutely magical stay! We had such a wonderful and relaxing time at Jolie’s cabin. The air was unbelievably fresh, the peace and quiet were exactly what we needed, and the surrounding hikes were stunning. The cabin itself is incredibly cozy — we instantly felt at home. It was the perfect mix of comfort and privacy. We can’t wait to come back!

Stayed here for a few nights and the house is really wonderful! Had everything we needed and a personal touch.

This place was the perfect spot for our group attending a wedding in Malibu. The Airbnb was well provisioned with anything you could need and comfy beds. Everything was super clean!

Jennifer & Robin's place was completely delightful. It was cozy and comfortable and absolutely perfect for a nature getaway. It feels very private, the view of the surrounding woods and mountains was gorgeous, it was so peacefully quiet and yet only a few minutes from the little community of shops & cafes. They provided everything that was expected but were also so generous and thoughtful in providing so many extras! The little things that make a visit easier and more special - different types of tea, lots of warm blankets, kitchen supplies, moisturizer - all small touches that make a big difference.

Toni’s cabin is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy PMC. Quiet location, great deck and right next to the snowflake trail. Toni has great information on all the hikes and places to see in the area and is easy to communicate with. Always our favorite place to stay.

Everything was perfect! Treated my wife and her girlfriends for a weekend stay for her 40th birthday and they came back with stellar reviews. Hilary was communicative and helpful throughout the booking, check-in, and stay. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a unique and special stay up in Solvang

Jennifer was simply amazing! So responsive, communicative, understanding, kind, accommodating and genuine. Beautiful property which was so accurate to the photos, perfect location, easy instructions and loads of helpful information. The energy at fantastical cottage was so beautiful, it was the perfect getaway.

The room was just as described, very clean, and exactly what we expected based on the listing.

The cabin was very warm and inviting. I loved that there were DVDs available with recommendations on what to watch and why. Everything was easy to use with instructions for use. We started the wood fire, which was amazing and warmed up the entire home. We were worried we would be too cold, but it was left the house at a perfect temperature. You could also adjust each room as needed. There were spices and little things you would usually forget to bring, which allowed us to make dinner with no issues. Everything was super clean. It felt like home right away. The area was also warm and welcoming. We went to one of the local restaurants recommended, where we were greeted by people from town. It was an amazing experience. Coming back to the city was hard after being here for the weekend. The cabin is also close to a waterfall which we walked to, totally worth the hike!

Very pleased with our stay. Well-priced to comparisons. Augusto answered all questions and had great recommendations for meals, excursions, etc. PMCC was a great little find, and such a short drive from our home. This cabin was a perfect getaway place for my surprise anniversary trip. We can't wait to bring family back for a winter holiday trip in the future. Plenty of room for guests, enough space to gather and also spread out. The bathtub was a nice compromise for a spa. Beautiful views and local. I can understand why others loved and recommended this cabin. You will be so happy with your choice. Felt very safe in this neighborhood. We even found ourselves looking at real estate while we stayed. Enjoyed viewing beautiful wildlife; different from where we reside.

Already dreaming about being back in Ojai and sitting under the stars. Tim & Danielle's place is very well-designed and well-situated for everything you might want to do while visiting Ojai. Peaceful and semi-secluded — and super easy to get anywhere, too. Communication was seamless, kitchen is small but well-stocked (though you should sample some local cuisine instead), bathroom is a delight, and that patio? I mean, come on! Thanks for opening up your beautiful home!

Perfect house for adult family of four over Christmas. Great kitchen for preparing Christmas lunch. Enjoyed the hot tub.

Having three bedrooms and two bathrooms was an absolute blessing, even with just 3 people on the trip. Between driving in from AZ (day 2 of trip from NM!) and all kinds of crazy back and forth trips to LA for concerts, we definitely needed the various rooms to decompress and gets our showers done. Hot water lasted through 3 people, so good sized tank or one of those in-line heater things, not sure which. Space was clean and elegant. I truly wish we'd had time to use the hot tub or the book nook. As it turned out, we didn't, but both looked great. We prefer slightly softer beds (2 out of the 3 of us), but the third person was quite happy with the firmness thereof. Having washer and dryer on site was useful. Oven/Stove worked fine when we used it three times during stay. Fridge was big and clean. Overall happy with the stay and the amenities.

Our stay at Jon’s home was wonderful! I was traveling with three teenagers and my mother, as well as our small dog. The location was fantastic, as well as the amenities in Jon’s home. The house was clean and tidy, and had everything (and more) for our stay. Everyone loved the hot tub and e-bikes, as well as the quick walk to the beach. Jon was also very responsive and helpful when I reached out with questions. We are so lucky to have found this gem of a rental, especially during spring break season!

Amazing house with so much charm! Great outdoor spaces too. Loved it will book again!

We stayed for two nights with our two young sons (4 & 2) and had a blast. They loved the yards and it was so easy to get to everything Santa Barbara has to offer, and so close to supermarket and restaurants. We definitely hope to stay again!

Very accommodating - listed for three nights we asked for two nights and Robert and Arlina made it happen.

Had a great stay. It was 3 minutes from the job site and less than 10 minutes from some really great mountain biking trails.

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.

We had a magical time staying at this quaint little house outside of town. Within seconds of parking the car, the horse next door stuck her nose over the fence to say hi to our 5 year old daughter who was over the moon to meet this gentle giant. She spent every moment available petting her nose and feeding her bits of grass. The house is super cozy and well stocked with kitchen items (pots, pans, coffee maker, blender, etc..) all the things needed to feel right at home. We even bbq’d on the patio. The house is in a rural area, plenty quiet and beautiful with a well stocked market 5 minutes toward Santa Paula and the town of Ojai 10 minutes in the other direction. Beds and couches are comfy, plenty of sheets blankets and towels available. Angela was super friendly & responsive if anything extra is needed. The WiFi worked great. I would DEFINITELY stay here again.

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!

First time staying in Los Alamos. Great location. The cottage was perfect for the two of us. The Bob’s Well Bread Bakery perk was great!!! Would stay again.

A true gem in Montecito! We had such a lovely stay at this beautiful Airbnb, it truly exceeded our expectations. The home was spotless and incredibly well thought out, with every detail designed for comfort and ease. From the cozy, welcoming atmosphere to the thoughtfully stocked amenities, everything felt intentional and high quality. The location was perfect for exploring Montecito, yet peaceful and private enough for total relaxation. A beautiful backyard with a lush, colorful gardenThe garden We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, a real gem we’d return to in a heartbeat!

My stay at Vivian’s place was truly wonderful! Her home is located at a very convenient location, close to everything: the market, Downtown Ventura, Botanical gardens, and the pier! The inside of her house is gorgeous, spacious, clean, and decorated so nicely. The pictures posted did not do it justice; we were pleasantly surprised! My family and I enjoyed cooking together in the spacious kitchen. The patio dining area is so lovely, but we were too cold to eat outside this time. The living room is great, my kids loved hanging out there! Vivian offers nice streaming options on TV and some games to play, so the kids were entertained the whole time. The bedrooms are serene and tastefully decorated and we appreciated plenty of closet space and the hangers. The master bedroom and bathroom are the best! My parents really loved their stay there. The room is so spacious: there is a bed, walk-in closet, a sofa, and a desk/chair. Thank you Vivian for sharing your beautiful home with us!
