"Staff, Jordan, was very nice and helpful. It was a very short stay because I needed to be at airport very early in am. My only complaint was it was a $25.00 fare for a 4 minute ride to airport. The room was just what I needed. Found it clean. Bed was fine. Shower hot."

My son and I decided to play golf for the week in Santa Barbara, CA. We wanted a quiet place to stay. This Goleta property is in a great location-near freeways, and convenient shopping, eating. The price was fair and this was a terrific value for the money. Santa Barbara is about 15 minutes away by an easy ride down 101S. Two bedrooms, TVs in both bedrooms and the living room. Netflix and local channels. Comfortable, quiet, and clean, with nice appliances. Thoughtfully decorated...it appeared to have been recently completely remodeled. Would stay there again.

5 / 5 Excellent
This is one of those times that you almost don't want to leave a review because you want to keep this perfect spot for your own future bookings... But Rick & Lynne were the best hosts with an ideal home for visiting UCSB & the Goleta / Santa Barbara Area - they deserve the recognition. What else can I say - the home was super clean, stocked with everything we needed (we discovered a new family favorite board game and were even treated to some delicious fruit Lynne harvested from the garden) and the neighborhood was quiet - but full of friendly people we met while walking our dogs. This is the spot! Thanks Rick & Lynne for hosting us. We will be back.
