About this house rental
Nestled in a peaceful, tree-lined courtyard in Santa Barbara's highly sought-after Upper East "Bungalow District," this charming three-story Craftsman townhouse offers historic character, modern comfort, and an exceptional walkable location. Just minutes from State Street's restaurants, cafés, theaters, and shopping, you'll also be steps from Alice Keck Park Memorial Gardens ("Turtle Park"), Alameda Park, the Santa Barbara Mission, and the Santa Barbara Bowl.
Filled with natural light, this fully furnished home features stylish mid-century modern décor. The main level features an open-concept living room and dining area, with a fireplace and Smart TV, an updated kitchen with modern appliances, and expansive windows on three sides overlooking the lush courtyard.
The upper level offers a spacious primary suite with a king-size bed, Smart TV, and an adjoining office/lounge with an executive desk, ultrawide monitor with docking station, and views of the Riviera hills. The renovated (2024) primary bathroom features a teak vanity with a marble countertop and a walk-in shower.
The lower level includes a guest bathroom, a large laundry room, and direct access to a private attached garage.
Relax on your private front patio, surrounded by mature olive and palm trees in a tranquil courtyard setting—your own peaceful retreat in the heart of Santa Barbara. Ideal for professionals, visiting faculty, medical personnel, or anyone seeking an extended stay in one of Santa Barbara's most desirable neighborhoods.

From the minute I walked in I was so overjoyed! Just the most lovely home and it was so welcoming. The decor was very tasteful and I felt I had everything I needed. I was wishing I could move in permanently! It was close to State St so I could walk there daily. It was also a quick 20 min drive to visit my daughter in Isla Vista. I would book this again in a heartbeat.

This VRBO is everything we hoped it would be and more. The rooms are spacious and nicely furnished with interesting wall decor. We felt very much at home. Its location was perfect for us: a quiet neighborhood just a block from beautiful Alice K. Park Memorial Gardens and a few blocks away from the Old Mission and rose gardens. It’s also fairly close to the Santa Barbara Bowl. There’s also a small neighborhood market just steps away from the townhouse development. Kristen and James are perfect hosts: they seemingly thought of everything we could want including exercise equipment, bicycles, and beach chairs. The home is equipped with new appliances including a large washing machine and dryer. I particularly appreciated having an enclosed garage unlike many VRBOs that have only driveway or street parking. One caution: the townhouse consists of three levels with the bedroom and main bathroom on the third floor, the kitchen and sitting room and main entryway on the second level and the garage, laundry room and a half bath on the lower level. Since there is no bathroom on the main level, people who find staircases a bit challenging may want to take this into consideration. All in all, we so thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Storybook cottage that we heartily recommend it as a wonderful place to stay when you visit Santa Barbara.
