10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
We had a fantastic stay at this property. We were a family of six adults. The home was exactly as advertised and shown in the photographs—but the experience of being there exceeded our expectations. The craftsmanship throughout the home was truly impressive, from the custom woodwork to the intricately detailed tilework. The consistent design theme and top-quality construction materials made it a pleasure to admire and enjoy.The kitchen was the best equipped kitchen we have ever stayed in at a VRBO (not just the cookware but the dishes and glasses and mugs as well - plentiful!). We would often say, "I wish they had an XYZ" and we'd look through another kitchen drawer and we'd find it! It almost became a game for us to think of something they DIDN'T have. The beds were very comfortable in all of the rooms.It took a few minutes to figure out the door locks, but the owner thoughtfully provided a very detailed and helpful set of instructions in the guestbook, which made everything easy to use. We initially had a problem with the pool cover but the management company gave us instructions over the phone and then came out to check it for us. We never had a problem after that.We would absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a luxury stay in Santa Barbara.

Flawless experiences from start to finish! The owners of this place were committed to the Lord of the Rings theme and absolutely nailed the design and details. The kitchen was fully stocked and beautiful. We spend a lot of time in the beautiful rose garden and by the pool. The beds were comfy and showers were stunning and functional. 10/10. Anytime we had questions, the prop managers were on it. If you are debating on renting this home, here’s your sign to book it.

Clearly a well designed and well loved house with great attention to detail.We felt very welcome, with good local information provided and we would return as a family or even extended group.Watching the hummingbirds by pool or in thw lovely gardens was a highlight.A great place as either a base to explore from or somewhere to just stay and relax.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
Rented for my daughter’s birthday. Pool was not clean and uninviting on arrival. Had the pool guy come back twice. Before it looked well enough to enter. Jacuzzi would NOT get hot. Followed the instructions and still nothing. A day later was advised home owner controlled the temperature from his phone and it was set at 91 degrees. Body temperature is 98.6 so figure that in next time. Owner also seemed to control the thermostat. All the girls were cold at night with no way to adjust the AC. Was alerted to excessive water usage while staying. Seemed like the owner was more concerned with prophet than comfort. I literally had to micro manage these problems while on business in Texas.
