We had a small problem with the hot tub, gave them a call and the repair people were there within the hour. They then checked up on us twice to ensure everything was ok. The booking photos were entirely accurate, the return of the deposit was prompt and hassle free and literally every detail was promptly and accurately attended to. They have made an effort to develop relationships with folks in the area so everyone we called ( surfing lessons, caterer, bike tours), once we mentioned that we were referred by Exclusive Rentals, went into high alert to provide the best experience possible. All in all a fantastic vacation. Many thanks Donna and team!

Where do I begin? Our two night stay at Harbor House Inn was…read morewonderful! We interacted with both Cody and his sister Carlin and found both to be genuinely friendly, helpful and kind. They were wonderful hosts. Their mother (who we did not meet) has each of the rooms that we saw (we were with a group that occupied four separate rooms) SO well-appointed. The suite my husband and I stayed in (room 16A) was immaculate and SO very comfortable. The grounds are impeccably kept and beautiful and we appreciated having our car right there. We will definitely stay here again if we have reason to visit Santa Barbara again (we were there for a graduation) Sincere thanks Cody and Carlin!

She was very responsive, accessible and knowledgeable from start to finish. Our rental was exactly what we had hoped for and more. Very clean, well appointed and in a great location for us. The whole rental process was seamless which is most important when you are staying in one place for 30 days. We had rented another property from Santa Barbara Vacation Rentals. Never again!! They were very responsive until you actually checked in and then it was difficult to get a call back for any reason. Customer service is utmost important and Wanderlust was that and more! Thank you Martha!!

Ultimately, they said we could not have 10 people which is unfortunate but understandable. The bad review comes in because of the communication. The person I originally contacted was friendly and told me she would get back to me when the owner responded. After waiting about a week for a response and hearing nothing, I called three days in a row multiple times and only ever got voicemail. I left a voicemail for Martha and sent an email to which I got an immediate "no" reply. Odd that she couldn't be bothered to answer the phone, respond to my voicemail, but immediately had an answer via email. Also this is someone different than who I originally talked to so I don't have confidence that she actually reached out to the owners or looked into my situation. Especially when she's saying the house can't fit 10 but there is enough beds for 10 (and the other woman agreed with that)...I get that the owners may have said no but then why didn't I get that answer before having to reach out multiple times?

I discovered her after she staged a house…read moreacross the street that went from old 1950's rundown carpet and furniture to glittering, gorgeous 2022 "coastal." My house was never right - the layout isn't the greatest and I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong with design. Ashley came in and identified the issues. She spent time analyzing each room and sent me a summary after we met. She's so good that she will move accessories around herself to get them right - right on the spot instead of leaving it to you to figure out. She literally helped me move heavy furniture because she cares about the end result. I am thrilled with how the house is shaping up now. My house is transformed from slightly off and maybe a little cluttered to stylish now. I was never a fan of the house before but now I think it looks great. I can't thank Ashley enough and HIGHLY recommend her. She is a genius! (And she's also a sweet, kind person.

I had made a reservation over three months in advance for our family to stay at her Carpinteria Beach house for the 4th of July weekend. Unexpectedly, our reservation was canceled with less than a week before we were to check in. No explanation provided by Danielle. My wife and kids were devastated. She gave us a refund, which was the least she could do, but nevertheless, we were in a scramble to find an alternative place to stay on a busy holiday weekend, with increased prices and little to no options. But the worst part of this whole mess, is when we went onto Vrbo to find another place to stay, what do we find? Danielle's listing, available for rent on the days we had previously booked. This is extremely unethical. We trust hosts on Air BnB to be transparent and reliable when we give them our business and I can't help but feel taken advantage of.
