Family-friendly holiday rentals in Santa Barbara

Debra's clean and peaceful cabin is located in one of my favorite neighborhoods to stay in at the Pine Mountain Club. Even better, it sits adjacent to the wildlife corridor that runs down the hillside. Debra is a gracious, responsive, and well organized host.

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.

If you’re looking for a magical stay whilst visiting Ojai this is your place. I felt right at home from the moment I parked the rental car under the carport. The place was spotless, everything was super easy and I felt relaxed right away. The views were incredible and I will def be staying again. Thanks, Guys!

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.

We had a fantastic stay—our kids absolutely loved it and begged to stay longer every single day. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach, with gorgeous morning strolls and stunning evening sunsets. We especially appreciated that it was dog-friendly—the built-in dog door in the bedroom was such a thoughtful detail, letting our pup come and go without waking us. After full days of kayaking around the Channel Islands, relaxing in the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind. The kitchen was fully stocked for home-cooked meals, and the welcome snacks were a lovely touch. We also loved not having to pack beach gear—the hosts had everything covered: toys, canopy, towels, you name it. Everything was spotless and well maintained, and the host’s kindness in offering us a late checkout made our departure so much smoother. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

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.

this little gem was not only perfect but really very peanut and quaint .bed super cumpfy. private and so easy to get into. there little doggies were so sweet and friendly well.worth it and I would recommend it to anyone. Tha k you so so much

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!

We had a short but beautiful stay at Matt and Linda's place on our way to Pinnacles National Park :)

My boyfriend and I stayed in this RV camper in Santa Paula and it was absolutely beautiful exactly what we needed to escape the city. The space is peaceful, surrounded by nature, and so thoughtfully set up. At night, the fireplace adds the perfect cozy touch, and listening to the frogs and crickets felt like they were all singing in harmony. We left feeling refreshed and connected. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Excellent one bedroom unit right on the beach with the perfect location. Exactly as described and ideal for a quick weekend away. We will be back soon I’m sure!

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!

Our 4th time back to the Oak & Avo grotto and will return again! Love the peaceful and lush surroundings, and coziness of the space.

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

Beautiful views. The kids said it was their favorite place they have ever stayed

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 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.

Perfect for us! Lots of space and light, really nice master bedroom and bathroom, good beds. And a better deal than most in the area. Very nice and communicative host. Thanks, Gloria!!
