My husband &amp; I have lived in Santa Barbara since 1974 and have 5 grown children, 3 of whom live in SB. I am a licensed acupuncturist/crystal therapist. We have a small maltese/terrier "guard dog". We love the beach, hiking, exercising, baseball, being outdoors, family barbeques/swim parties and frequenting San Francisco to visit our son. There are a multitude of good restaurants, wine/beer tasting spots, hiking trails, beaches in SB. What are you in the mood for?

Julie was an amazing host from the minute I booked the room she texted me welcoming me and responded quickly when I had questions When I checked in Julie and her husband welcomed me and showed me around. The house is beautiful and the accommodations were even better than the pictures. They even included very thoughtful toiletries everything I could need and more (sunscreen, toothbrush, etc). I definitely recommend this listing and couldn't be more appreciative to Julie and her husband.

What a wonderful place to stay! Traveled down to Santa Barbara for a wedding, and this room was perfect for the night! Clean, spacious, and in close proximity to where I needed to be. Julie and her husband were also super accommodating and welcoming. You can tell they love opening their home to travelers! Will definitely reach out for a place to stay again in the future!

Julie & Larry were absolute gems as hosts! I couldn't have asked for a more inviting, care free, safe space. It happened to be the only booking available and it was exactly where I needed to be.

Julie and Larry are the best hosts! My partner and I spent two nights at their home. The bedroom and bathroom are spacious and spotless. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood with pool and Jacuzzi, a resort style setting. There is a 3.5 mile long trail at the corner of the street takes you to the beach. Julie and Larry changed their activities to accommodate our schedule, shared everything in their kitchen with us so that we can cook my gluten free meals. Breakfast is also provided with fresh fruits and home made blueberry bread and coffee. We had great conversation and shared our stories. Julie and Larry did everything that made us feel we are home with family. We cannot wait to go back to see them again. Highly recommended if you are in Santa Barbara.

This "Paradise" comes from a PFLAG family who went over the top to offer a quality stay. Super friendly folks. The directions are easy and it's short drive from dwntn. SB. I almost considered extending my stay because of how nice everything was: quality linens, towels, and mattress, amenities, waterfall shower, quiet, almost private street, & WIFI. Julie & her husband are retired professionals whose home is inviting. I wish I had time to enjoy the private, lush patio. You won't be disappointed.
