We have stayed at rental properties throughout the world and have never felt more “at home” than here at this wonderful property. This classic California cottage is absolutely charming, artistically furnished and thoughtfully equipped. The mountain view from the dining room and porch will long linger in our memory. The house is perfectly situated in a lovely neighborhood… just minutes from Santa Barbara‘s beautiful downtown which teems with interesting shops, excellent restaurants and outstanding cultural assets. Truly a heavenly spot for walkers! Finally, our hosts, Debbie and Jim, were absolutely terrific – – friendly, generous and super responsive. In sum, our whole experience was a “10-strike”… we greatly look forward to a return visit in the future.

We biked or walked daily around SB. The cottage was lovely and the host friendly and responsive. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

I enjoyed my stay at Debbie & Jim's little cottage. Everything was just as described. Internet was plenty fast enough for me to teach several classes on Zoom during my stay. The only glitch was a problem with the washing machine, but Debbie was lightning-fast communicating about it, and it was fixed as promptly as possible. Excellent host and excellent stay in downtown SB!

My extended stay at Outback Cottage was a dream. Debbie and Jim are exceptional hosts and made my stay at their charming cottage, feel like a home away from home. The cottage itself is perfect for a single or a couple who want to get away for a long weekend or an extended stay like mine was. A cup of coffee or a glass of wine on the front porch watching the hummingbirds flit around in the meticulously cared for gardens is the perfect way to start or end your day. I kept my car in the driveway and walked almost everywhere I had to go, perfect location! My husband had to leave for work purposes so I was solo for a few weeks and felt completely safe and comfortable in the neighborhood. I'm sad to go and can't wait to come back! The Outback is a little slice of heaven.
