Summary: The Hourglass was a wonderful off-street retreat during our month in Santa Barbara. Wendy and Chuck have created a cozy, private aerie among the treetops. We had sun on the deck, shade at the patio table, comfy chaises for reading and a private hot tub and rosy sunsets. There’s even a hammock. And, very important as we worked remotely during the pandemic, there is a fantastic new smart TV and strong Wi-Fi that let 2 of us Zoom simultaneously with no blips. We were very happy and grateful!

Summary: It is a wonderful place to stay to tour the Santa Barbara area. So very clean and quiet. Relaxing place to be after a day of touring. The bed as well as the sofa sleeper are comfortable. If you wish to prepare some of your meals the kitchen is well equipped. There is a hot tub. There is a flight of stairs to get to the apartment. It is very near the old mission and close enough to other attractions yet away from the noise and bustle so you can get a good night sleep. I highly recommend this apartment.

Summary: This was a really good location. Everything we wanted to see or do was just a short trip away, but at the same time it felt remote and relaxing. The view was beautiful. The accommodations were just what we wanted and it was supplied with everything we needed. Furniture, including the bed, were all very comfortable. We were pleased with the cleanliness of this well maintained property. We wouldn't hesitate to return here on our next trip to Santa Barbara. Also, check out Farmer Boy for amazing coffee and giant cinnamon rolls.

Summary: My wife and I were looking for a quiet and private rental that would feel like "home" during our time in Santa Barbara -- the Hourglass was a perfect fit for the two of us! What really stood out to us was the attention to detail the owner, Wendy, pays to this property -- she has thought of EVERYTHING! Warm robes and battery-powered lanterns for the spa, a bottle of wine on the table when we arrived, beach chairs, and even a rewards discount card attached to the keys for the local supermarket! Wendy was a pleasure to communicate with as well, she almost always responded within the hour (sometimes even minutes) to anything I wished to know. The Hourglass will forever be a highlight of our time in Santa Barbara!

Summary: So many good things about this retreat. This was our first trip to Santa Barbara and when looking for a place to stay, the location of this cottage was an attraction. We were not disappointed! From the moment we walked in the door we knew the cottage was going to as advertised. It is comfortable, very clean and private. The hot tub was a plus. Very clean, the best we have every had at a VRBO. The kitchen was well supplied for the meals we cooked in the evening when we did not go out. The cottage is close to Inspiration Point, a local hike that did not disappoint on one of 3 days we did not have rain during our week long stay. The owners are next door and ready to answer any questions or concerns, otherwise you would not have known they lived next door. Our phones got us around town as far as navigation....Trader Joe's is not that far away so we did our grocery shopping there. I could go on and on.....but when we visit again, this cottage will be our first choice to stay. We did have two sugggestions.......even though rain is usually not the norm in SB, an umbrella would have been nice to have in the cottage. It rained a lot during our week. Also, there is a washer and dryer in the cottage. The owners supply a lot of the basic soaps per their site so we did not bring our own small container of laundry soap. That was the one soap not supplied so we bought a container to pass on to other guests who might need it.

Summary: First, Wendy Rookwood is a pleasure to work with in planning and completing your stay at the Hourglass. And, we found Wendy very responsive needs you may have during your stay. Finding the Hourglass with HomeAway was a first experience for us that turned out very, very enjoyable. The Hourglass is nestled in the scenic hills above the Santa Barbara Mission with both privacy and hiking trails right at your doorstep. It has a warm and inviting ambiance and is in excellent condition. On our very first trip it truly felt like our second home! For first time visitors, I'd recommend paying particular attention to Wendy's excellent directions. We highly recommend the Hourglass for a memorable stay in Santa Barbara.
