La Petite Maison Blanche. Perfect downtown retreat
A Quintessential Santa Barbara cottage in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara built in 1915. The rooms are rather small (Think Parisian Hotel) but well-appointed and quaint: a place to hang your hat, charge your phone, rest your feet, set your glass and simply relax. The Living Room is intimate. Think of this space as a private parlor car in a train, perhaps, perfect for reading! The more spacious backyard is perfect for sharing stories, relaxing and unwinding around the fire pit and cozy sofas.

Walkable wine, beach, cafes, downtown, & dolphins
Welcome to La Maison, a 99th-percentile Airbnb in all areas of guest satisfaction. I've been hosting you beautiful people for over a decade, and I've earned 500+ five-star reviews and maintained a 4.97 average. I'm not trying to boast, but those kind of numbers could get you into Harvard. I guess what I'm trying to say is, when you stay here, you'll have a 5-star experience. I promise. So, come stroll the pier, stretch out at the beach, surf amidst the dolphin pods, and sample some local wines.
