 "Dear Wendy & Chuck, We had a lovely, restful stay in your beautiful home--thank you for sharing it & for your warm welcome. We enjoyed the spa, the piano, lunches on the patio, & our daughter at UCSB enjoyed discovering this other aspect of Santa Barbara life. We saw hump-backed whales & dolphins yesterday, lunched at Hendry's Beach today, loved touring the Mission & shopping on State St.! Many Thanks, The Wren Family, Ireland " - Maev-Ann W., , 02/20/2012 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
""A great location in a wonderful destination" All of our party enjoyed our 5 day stay. While the guys went sport fishing(with Tony from Santa Barbara Sportfishing, a real pro),the ladies went to Lotusland(a beautiful gardenspot). We brought enough fish(18) home for two meals and took advantage of a well stocked kitchen and grill. We went hiking in the Santa Ynez mountains just above the rental and enjoyed a view from 2700 feet or so. A limo picked us up and brought us to 4 vineyards. We enjoyed several fantastic meals, local Mexican fare,El Sitio(taqueria),Los agaves(with fabulous sauces) and Brophy's, a local seafood place with clam chowder that was as good as I've had anywhere. We went to the "Choir Mass"(0900, Sunday) at the Mission of Santa Barbara and the music was inspiring. I recommend this to any visitor to SB. We made good use of the pool, spa and poolside furniture. A bonus was the fruit(oranges, lemons and limes) on the tiered orchard that surrounds the pool area. I can't imagine a better place to spend time while visiting Santa Barbara. We will be contacting Wendy to make arrangements to stay when our daughter gets married in SB next fall. " - Mick M., Grafton, ND, 10/24/2011 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
"We had a wonderful family vacation visiting the various sights of Santa Barbara, then coming home and enjoying the pool & spa. We grilled almost every night. The backyard was a delightful setting for our dinners. Thanks for sharing your home with our family." - Dennis G., Highland, CA, 08/27/2011 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
""The most comfortable and relaxing vacation that I can remember" This house and property were fantastic. The house was large and spacious and had just about anything that you would need for a comfortable stay. The back yard and pool area were the best and we spent most of the time outside enjoying the great weather. The location felt like a retreat miles from anything buts was only minutes from everything in Santa Barbara. We definitely will want to come back for future vacations.

"We had a fabulous fiesta week! Our families enjoyed all the perks of this home & amazing area. We all traveled from various areas: NH, Georgia, & Florida and met up with our lovely Ashley & Jonathon from 29 Palms, CA. It was great to be able to eat & swim together & feel like we were home." - Dolores G., Loganville, GA, 08/09/2011 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"This weekend was spent with my best friends...How did we all manage to break away from reality to actually be together?!? Thank you for this warm, friendly, beautiful house & grounds for us to reunite our friendship. This morning was spent eating orange slices (from garden), dipping our feet in the hot tub & making tea. Thank you!" - Tara T., Las Vegas, NV, 02/20/2011 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
""Wendy, Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home! It was the perfect location and size for our group! The "Live Like a Champion" team made sure to take good care of everything and enjoyed laying poolside, eating fresh tomatoes, and making 'family' dinners in the kitchen! Thanks again! LLAC Crew" - Natalee m., , 10/17/2010 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
"Hi Wendy, We loved our visit! It was a great place for my sister, brother and me to connect. Location is perfect and the outdoor area so beautiful. We'll be back. Thank you! Susan A.,Stamford, CT "The house is a wonderful example of architectural excellence using modest materials. Wherever there is a view of the gardens, pool, mountains, trees, distant ocean or sky there seems to be a strategically placed window. Inside is a wonderful collection of very functional rooms with space for adults and kids. Outside there's the pool and large patio surrounded by gardens and trees. There is an abundant amount of quality pool furniture and tables and chairs for dining or reading. We also appreciated the high quality bbq. The large gardens continue around the home, including wonderful wild gardens with fruit trees, flowers and vegetables. The preparation of the home for our visit was great. The result is a wonderful place for a restful vacation, an inside or outside dinner for 10 or just several families sharing a wonderful time. It would also make a great working retreat, close to the Mission and the (Botanic) gardens." Steve D., Santa Ynez Valley, CA " - Susan A., Stamford, CT, 10/10/2010 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
""Loved loved this house" We loved loved this house!. It is absolutely beautiful. There are windows and french doors from every room that open to the outside. There are beautiful gardens that surround the house. There is plenty of patio furniture for you to enjoy the views and don't forget the spa. The rooms are spacious and the master bedroom is breathtaking. The kitchen is well equipped with 2 dining rooms. The location by the Santa Barbara Mission was ideal. Close to the downtown and wharf. We would definitely stay there again. " - Phylis D., ,Sa, 10/04/2010 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

""The house and pool so exceeded our expectations." We stayed with our family of adults and 2 small grandchildren to visit extended family in Santa Barbara. The house is spacious and the patio area with the pool and spa were great. Very nice landscaping - even enjoyed veggies from the garden. We are planning to stay there everytime we visit SB as a family! " - Christine M., Millis, MA, 08/18/2010 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
