2 Bedroom Apartment in Laguna, Santa Barbara

El Jardin Pequeno
Enter the wild and wacky world of Jeff Shelton!
Vacation Rentals of Santa Barbara is proud to manage a home built by this world-renowned, Santa Barbara local architect, with a one-of-a-kind way of looking at the world. His ingenious fusion of whimsical artistry and vibrant function culminate in some of the most well-recognized buildings and happy homes in downtown Santa Barbara.
El Jardin Pequeno is the two bedroom one bathroom home located on the second level of a 4-story building known as “El Jardin,” in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara. From street level, ascend the colorful steps that lead to a memorable retreat with plenty of personality. Morrocan tile, bright use of hand tooled glass, and custom wrought iron in varying shapes, are just the beginning of the signature style that makes staying at a Shelton-designed home a lively and fun experience for each and every guest.
Cozy up on the blue velvet couch for movie night in front of a large flat screen tv. Whip up a yummy meal in the super-efficient KITCHENETTE with dual burner induction cooktop, microwave, and raised bar, please note there is no oven. One of the most stunning features is the unique suspended dining table with a smooth piano finish, and an irregular whimsical shape that makes game night or mealtime amusing. Hidden away is a full-capacity front-loading washer and dryer, perfect for extended stays or to keep towels ready for the next oceanfront outing.
A sunny bedroom with a queen-size bed has the added sleeping convenience of a twin bunk bed to sleep four guests comfortably. In a second bedroom, enjoy a restful night's sleep, or a well-deserved breakfast in bed, in the comfortable queen-size bed. From either room, enjoy mountain views over Santa Barbara's red tile roofs, or awake to sunrise casting a warm glow over the city. A shared hall bathroom completes the offerings of this cool city apartment-style retreat.
Head out the front door to explore all that Santa Barbara has to offer. Take a self-guided tour of the other Shelton-designed homes, gather organic ingredients for dinner at the local Farmer's Market, sip tasty wines in the Funk Zone, or simply stroll over to nearby State Street, alive with energy and world-class shopping, eateries, galleries, theater and more.
Treat yourself to a memorable stay at El Jardin Pequeno, for the fun of it!
Additionally available upon special request is a third bedroom suite at ground level that can accommodate two more guests. A king-size bed, television, bathroom with walk-in shower, and ample size closet appoint this private suite nicely. [Additional rates may apply]

Summary: Two adults, 18 days.The apartment is as described. We found the unique and handmade elements throughout to be delightful.The rooms are large, though the kitchen is tiny. But who cares?--with so many good restaurants and bakeries within a few minutes walking distance.Though only one bathroom, it is large.The hot water in the bathroom sink is warm, but the shower has plenty of hot water. The washing machine and dryer worked fine.The property management agency is absolutely the BEST I've ever dealt with. Prompt and satisfactory responses were provided to every question or problem.Onstreet parking was not difficult in February, so we did not use the designated parking place.The long stairs up to this first floor apartment are steep and narrow, a bit difficult to negotiate with big suitcases.Don't miss the nearby farmers market on Tuesday and Saturday.Overall, we loved the unit, the excellent service and downtown location.

Summary: The place was just what we wanted: easy and close by, clean and spacious enough for the three of us. One highlight is the large dining table because we are board gamers and had a great spot to play! The one bathroom (as advertized) was big and easy to share.

Summary: The general feeling is somewhat dated. The single bathroom for a 2 bedroom was disappointing. Very small wicker table was the only place to put bathroom necessities, literally 12 x 12 inches in a pretty large space. Electrical outlets were complex— sometime worked sometimes didn’t— very frustrating. Otherwise decent furnishings and great location.
