Family-friendly holiday rentals in Santa Ynez

Host was very responsive and helpful. The price was great. location is very peaceful and a short drive or walk away from great tourist spots (i.e. Downtown, dunes, etc). Airbnb was very clean and organized, listed instructions and perks were easy to find and simple to follow.

What a beautiful property! The backyard was like a sanctuary. We were walking distance to a beautiful beach and the neighborhood was quiet.

We had an amazing time, such a beautiful and spacious home. Thank you for hosting my family and I :)

We stayed at the property for 3 nights. It was a girls’ trip. We loved the view. The house was very equip. with dishes etc. that was nice since we did breakfast every day. Everyone had a bed and slept well. Thanks for letting us stay at the property, this was a girls’ trip to remember. ❤️❤️

This is our favorite airbnb we've ever stayed at. The most well-kept, clean, and enjoyable place by far- definitely somewhere we'd like to spend much more time in. Town is close-by and everything is easily accessible. We loved everything about this place. Also lots of cool wildlife around

Great location, easy access to beaches, downtown. Comfy king sized bed. Take advantage of the fresh eggs, they were delicious. The unit is an extension of a family home but has a private entrance and feels separate. Hot tub, garden and sauna are part of a shared space with the host

This was our first experience with an Airbnb and wow, what a wonderful experience! Everything was even better than described! It took no time at all to feel like home. Aldo was incredibly responsive and very helpful. It is the ultimate Santa Barbara beach cottage. Next time we are in the area we will definitely want to stay here!

Judy is responsive and wonderful to work with. I would definitely stay here again.

I loved my stay here! The home is beautiful and very well-kept. You can tell Dawn put a lot of effort into making this place feel like home. She was helpful and very responsive. Great host, great home :)

We had an amazing stay, and the property is fantastic. Everything was super well communicated, including any questions we had. The property was quiet and private, with a lovely deck in the sun. Kitchen had everything you needed, as did the rest of the property including the cool milk bottle display. The rest of the property was spotless and we really enjoyed staying! Bravo to the hosts.

Had a beautiful time. The inside is cute & space well used. The outside is amazing & where we spent most of our time. Our dogs loved roaming around then sunbathing. We had a great time cooking and playing with our daughter outside. Loved being elevated & seeing the ocean every morning.

After moving to Orlando from California last year, I have missed the Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, and SLO areas more than any other place in my home state. I am so happy to have found such a truly wonderful spot with Aaron’s cozy yellow cottage! From gorgeous views to wonderful amenities to a perfect location so close to the AG Village, you truly cannot beat this place. The kitchen was an especially fantastic part of the house, as it was stocked with anything and everything we needed during our stay! Aaron was incredibly communicative and friendly from our very first to our very last interaction. I will stay here every time I am in the area in the future as long as it’s available, because I truly felt so at home. Thank you Aaron for providing such a clean, quaint, and quiet space for my parents and I to stay while we were in town for my sister’s graduation from Cal Poly! We cannot wait to be back!

Such a cute find with an ocean view and 0.6 mile walk to the beach! The place is very cute inside and out with numerous outdoor seating options and gorgeous landscaping. We loved walking on the neighborhood trail, down to the beach, and to the cute downtown summerland. Only a ten minute drive to downtown Santa Barbara. Highly recommend!

Matt and Linda’s place is adorable and cozy! We loved the charm and character of the old home. Lompoc is a tiny town, but it’s ideally located in the middle of the Central Coast region. This makes it so easy to get to neat cities like Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Solvang, and Pismo Beach for day trips. Matt and Linda are excellent hosts - kind, communicative, and thoughtful. I’d highly recommend this place!

We were thrilled to find a place so close yo everything we wanted to do! And the real plus was that Kat accepted our pup too! She was great!

Brenda’s place is fantastic and was a highlight of our West Coast road trip. Brenda makes sure you are all sorted with the local recommendations and there is a beautiful backyard to relax and eat / play board games in. Located 10mins from Pismo Beach and the Sand dunes this place is definitely worth a stop.

Chris with Beach Bum Rentals was so helpful and kind, they rescued our vacation this weekend. We had a last minute trip cancellation and decided to try a staycation in Oceano. She worked with us after we contacted them through Airbnb and made sure we were all set. It was perfect and they really made sure their guests feel comfortable and enjoy their stays. Beach Bum Rentals also worked with evacuees from the LA fire this weekend and have been trying to help them find housing and accommodate for special needs or pets. I can’t say enough positive things about our experience. The house was beautiful, location was great, price was appropriate and it had everything we needed and then some.

Great location with respect to town. Unit was on the ground floor adjacent to parking lot and not exactly as pictured in listing, but spacious and clean. Would stay there again.

Lots of room for extra friends/family. Great stove top/easy cleaning up. Clean pool, working laundry room. Amazing outside view! Checks off as a really great spot to stay for a few days. Outside amenities is okay could be better. But overall, the stay was pleasant.

Small but efficient for us two. Great location in Carpinteria. We usually camp at the state beach but opted not to this year. Had everything we needed. Pool and spa were great. Complex was peaceful and other residents and office staff were very friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking in gated lot and the spots had plenty of room for our truck and there were bike racks inside the parking lot for locking up our bikes that we took. We only used our vehicle once it was too dark for bike riding, otherwise we biked or walked. Husband fished everyday for several hours while I got to sleep in, relax, watch tv, or walk up the street for shopping. Farmers Market on Thursday was great for buying fresh fruits and veggies and flowers.

This is such a special place. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer! It’s a perfect central location - close to SLO, Paso Robles, Los Olivos, etc. We loved hearing the chickens in the morning, walking through the garden and enjoying the hot tub/pool amenities. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway, this is the place for you!!

We had a magical weekend retreat at Jennifer’s Glass House. It was so peaceful, the unique architecture was perfect for taking in the sights and sounds of nature—the view from inside the Glass House was jaw dropping. Jennifer was so sweet, welcoming, and helpful. The bed was supremely comfortable and the bedding had a luxe feel. There were thoughtful places to sit, swing, or lie down throughout the property. While the kitchen is more limited, we were able to cook everything we needed, making food outdoors was divine. The bathrooms were spotless, if a bit of a walk to take in the middle of the night (but no different from other glamping facilities). We were lucky to have the entire Grove area to ourselves so it was especially comfortable as we didn’t have to navigate around other occupants. Loved the pool and hot tub area, a really charming experience. Overall it’s the perfect place for a quiet retreat off-grid, to recharge in an ideal glamping situation. We can’t wait to be back.

Best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. I wanted to find a place I could both swim and relax, this was perfect. I felt very welcomed and comfortable. The room was clean and I had everything I needed. It is the perfect size for me, my husband, and my 3 month old. The pool and backyard was breathtaking. Most beautiful pool I’ve ever swam in. I didn’t wanna leave! Close to wineries and great restaurants in the village.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay for 4 nights for my daughter’s graduation from UCSB. The place is extremely clean. It may be quaint, but it really was perfect for what we needed. Modern vibe, lots of storage, great furniture, and loved the staircase! Loved how close we were to the beach and the town of Carpenteria was absolutely adorable and fun with very friendly people working in all the shops and restaurants. Very safe place and neighborhood! I had booked an Airbnb over a year ago in Santa Barbara for my daughter’s graduation. I had paid in full and they cancelled on me 6 months later! So, I booked another Airbnb in SB, paid in full, and they cancelled on me a couple months ago. At that point SB was completely sold out, which is how I ended up in Carpenteria. I was bitter!! But, I truly believe things happen for a reason! Had we not been cancelled on, we never would’ve discovered this Airbnb and the town itself. I will definitely come back & stay in this wonderful place!
