Summary: This charming, sweet bungalow was absolutely the perfect refuge for a month stay in Santa Barbara. If you enjoy the architecture of the old craftsman style you will love this home. It was perfectly outfitted with everything you might need to cook. It felt like home! Easy parking with its own spot. Comfy beds and nice towels. Beautiful garden in back with a hot tub. The owners were so friendly and always available with any questions. I would love to stay here again!

Summary: Peggy and Eric are amazing. Communication was very quick and helpful. Peggy and Eric went above and beyond to make us feel welcome!Peggy comes weekly to clean the yard and hot tub and she is so kind and thoughtful. She gives great ideas of things to do and places to go in Santa Barbara. Thank you so much for the poinsettia and the roll to make cookies!

Summary: If I could give a 10 star rating I would. I stayed here for 10 weeks and loved my time in this house. It’s close to the high school which was great for visits from my grandkids. 10 minute walk to town. Quiet neighborhood and a safe parking spot. Cute corner store two blocks away. The house is fully stocked and I mean fully. I was able to bake a banana bread and only had to buy bananas and eggs. Peggy visits once a week to tidy up the yard. Owners respond quickly to questions and requests. Comfy tv watching couch. Clean hot tub. Wonderful back yard for eating, grilling or relaxing. Neighbor has a friendly yellow cat. Residents of nearby apartments are quiet and friendly. House is small but perfect for me. This was my favorite VRBO of all.

Summary: I needed a nice, quiet place for the summer and Peggy really delivered! The house is cute, comfortable, and well maintained. The neighborhood is surprisingly quiet, with all you can hear at night being crickets, literally! What a tonic for my jangled nerves. Peggy is THE MOST lovely host, super friendly and immediately responsive to any issues that might arise, which are few and far between. Painted Pony Bungalow really worked well for me. I’d rent it again in a heartbeat.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay. As 3 people in our 20s, we found this to be a central location and very easy to get to downtown. The hot tub was a great amenity and Peggy was great coming to clean it and the yard weekly while being mindful of our time & privacy. 10/10 would recommend

Summary: What a terrific opportunity to be able to stay in such a lovely historic property. We walked the safe and pretty neighborhood a couple of times a day and enjoyed the lovely gardens in the area. The location is very central and an easy 10-15 walk to State Street to many restaurants and only a few blocks from the Santa Barbara Bowl if you'd like to take in the outdoor concerts. The backyard garden is extremely private with a lovely hot tub and outdoor furniture to either relax or enjoy a meal. In addition, we appreciated the backyard being completely fenced for our pooch. Even though your neighbours are close by, it's a very quiet area and street. We couldn't have asked for more thoughtful, kind and responsive owners as Peggy and Eric. They were always ready to assist on how things operated etc., and provided a detailed communication on the properties' operations. Much appreciated. The home is so welcoming and cozy and everything was is great working order. Lots of towels and linens and kitchen essentials. We hope to return if available.

Summary: Nestled in the hustle bustle of downtown Santa Barbara - and therefore convenient to everything- Eric and Peggy's 1917 bungalow with its cozy and fun vintage decor and charming garden is a surprisingly quiet haven to return to after a day or evening out. My husband and son loved the hot tub! Peggy is extremely responsive and has thought of everything from salad spinner to fans to beach tar remover. Street parking is usually available but the reserved space in the apartment lot in the back makes the ease of staying here seamless. I look forward to staying there again!

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at the Painted Pony. My husband and I and one-year-old daughter found the space just right for our needs. It is equipped with all the essentials of a long-term rental. The furnishings and decor of the home very much suit the house and neighborhood, and the backyard is a peaceful oasis, complete with a hot tub. The location was great, in a fun, walkable area, yet on a quiet street without any traffic noise. Peggy was lovely and an incredible and attentive host. She communicated consistently, and always gave us a heads up if something needed to be cared for at the property. I would easily stay here again. As it was we were sad to leave!
