Charming Santa Barbara Cottage with large private outdoor patio & garden
Large downtown Santa Barbara one bedroom cottage with big outdoor patio and garden. Quiet neighborhood with lots of privacy and walking distance from the historic Mission, Rose Gardens, and hiking trails. A short one mile walk to downtown Santa Barbara restaurants, and two miles to Stearns wharf. Two blocks from the famous Mission Street McConnell's Ice Cream. Our cottage has all new kitchen appliances and a very spacious living room with a fold out sofa bed for extra sleeping accommodations.

Classic Santa Barbara Cottage
Peter’s place was great. Walking distance to downtown, and also very convenient to the freeway and bike route to UCSB.
The private patio area is a really nice bonus. It’s rare to find a place with so much private outdoor space in Santa Barbara. Same goes for in-unit laundry.
Would definitely book this one again!

Visiting family
A detached cottage, centrally located and close to city amenities. Cottage is fully equipped with very modern washing machine, cooker, TV etc. Lounge and lovely outdoor eating area. All in all, very impressive and our stay was memorable!

Great cottage with a beautiful yard area!
Peter’s cottage is a great place to stay in Santa Barbara for a couple or small family. My adult son slept on the sofa bed which he said was comfortable. The queen bed in the bedroom had a very comfortable mattress. There’s even a washer/dryer if needed which we didn’t use.
Bathroom is quirky with it’s claw foot tub/shower but plenty roomy. Could use a shelving unit but there is a medicine cabinet behind the mirror. Towels were very large and fluffy.The kitchen has a very new fridge and just about anything you could need to prep meals. Nice little work table in the living room and lots of room to spread out.
The neighborhood was very quiet and nice to walk around. Super easy access to the freeway.
The best part is the yard! Comfy chairs to sit on under the beautiful mandarin orange tree. Perfect to enjoy am SB morning coffee. Saw hummingbirds and other birds in the tree. Photos in listing don’t show the nice picnic table and who doesn’t want to eat outside with Santa Barbara’s gorgeous weather.
We would definitely stay again! Thanks for sharing your cottage!

Very clean and cute place. Liked the location which isn’t right in all the bustle, but also not far. We walked everywhere.

Lovely, better for only 2 people!
The pull out couch was very uncomfortable. Also could have used more towels, a box fan, and maybe a shelf or more storage space for toiletries in the bathroom. Otherwise excellent!!

Very nice place and good location. Perfect place for my husband, son and myself.
Peter connected early on and was very informative with check-in etc. It was nice having the large bottle of water as we were at a baseball field all weekend and it was great to refill our bottles. Bed was very comfortable and my son slept well on the pull out sofa. Everything was very clean and we truly enjoyed our stay!
