The house and garden were perfect for our family (including dog). The house is large with many options for living arrangements and many amenities including a good washer/dryer, so it was very easy to get comfortable. We enjoyed the beautiful garden, especially in the later afternoons. There is a great coffee shop within walking distance (and ice cream) so that was fun to visit. Wendy was a generous, kind host and helped us out when our dates changed. We would certainly recommend the Secret Garden Hideaway for all seeking a nice and comfortable Santa Barbara visit.”
