 "Hi Wendy, Just wanted to let you know we had a great time in Santa Barbara and think you have a great set-up at the Hourglass. It had everything we needed for a relaxing stay and we liked how it's such a quiet area but also so quick to reach the town and beach. I would definitely recommend the Hourglass to friends and will look you up if we are back in the Santa Barbara area. Thanks again and all the best.

"Had a lovely weeks break from being on the road traveling around California. Loved everything about the Hourglass and we think Santa Barbara is lovely. Will definitely try to get back!" - Don A., Wokingham,Be, 09/24/2011 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
"Wendy, We had the most amazing week in Santa Barbara! We LOVED the little house, although we didn't spend any time in the hot tub or use the grill as we had expected. Loved the simple yet lovely decor and the washer and dryer were very convenient. Only wish I had more time to hike and enjoy the fresh grapefruits! The wine tasting, kayaking, horse riding, and canyon runs were the highlights for me. We ate at the Fish House (amazing food) and Hitching Post and even the little Seafood Company at the end of the pier. Too many great experiences to mention! Can't wait to come back. Thanks again, Gina " - Gina D., Guntersville, AL, 08/06/2011 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"Wendy, Thank you so much for providing & creating such a wonderful place to stay. We were very pleased with how comfortable the Hourglass is because of all that is provided. We also loved the peace and tranquility that the location offers--the trees, the birds, and the frogs at night. We will recommend it to others!

 "I loved the Hourglass - cozy, comfortable, clean and contemporary. Thank you, Wendy, for your kindness during the reservation process and for providing all those little touches which made me feel at home. The cozy fireplace on one cool evening, the ipod dock on the stereo so I could listen to "my" music, the spa which eased my aches, the water filter so I didn't need to buy bottled water, the washer/dryer so I could refresh my clothes and the oh so comfortable bed. Loved the walk through Rocky Nook Park to the Mission. Most of all I so appreciated the peaceful location and views of the lovely surrounding hills. Stayed 2 nights, felt like more, wished it could have been a week, or a month, or maybe the rest of my life! Looking forward to returning next year." - Melita M., Seal Rock, OR, 04/21/2011 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
"Cozy and Romantic My wife and I have stayed in this property on three occasions and we will return again. The combination of going to a peaceful place, which is private, romantic and with a perfect location closed to restaurants and Down Town area make this house a perfect place to stay. ยท By Alejandro from Illinois on 2/2/2011 for a stay in 1/1/2011" - Alejandro M., Brookfield, IL, 01/24/2011 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"We have spent some truly amazing 9 weeks at the Hourglass! We LOVED the hot tub & the fireplace!! Also, the location is just perfect, both for exploring beautiful Santa Barbara & its stunning surroundings & working at UCSB in Goleta. Everything is just a short drive or walk away. We are very sad that we have to leave the Hourglass today---if ever we come back, we'd love to stay here again! Thank you so much for making our stay so enjoyable!" - Wofgang Z., Belgium, EU, 06/02/2010 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

 "The Hourglass is the most lovely place to stay! Nestled in Mission Canyon, you feel like you are away from the city, yet you are only a few minutes - walking, biking or driving - from so many beautiful Santa Barbara sights! In addition to the beautiful, high quality interior and design of this amazing one bedroom hide-away, the Hourglass comes fully equipped with everything you can imagine you might need during your stay. Too many items to list! You will not be disappointed. There is a lovely deck outside the front and bedroom doors overlooking the canyon, including your own private patio, with patio table and chairs, private "always hot" hot tub, bbq, and lounge chairs for soaking up the warm SB sun. All you need to bring is your suitcase and you're ready for the most fabulous Santa Barbara visit of your life! I highly recommend this property to friends, family and professional acquaintances. The property owner, Wendy, is very professional, detail-oriented, and is so wonderful to work with. I absolutely look forward to my next stay at the Hourglass! Enjoy!
