Pet friendly duplex apartment in downtown Santa Ynez!
Truly a unique getaway experience while staying in what is known as “A Sophisticated Cowboy Town” Santa Ynez. Here you will find the main street resembles an old movie set. Dotted with some of the valley’s best restaurants, charming shops, art, and a museum, you will have plenty to savor from your cozy hideout.
Breath in and relax as you enjoy this 2 bedroom, 1 bath home, with a lovely living space, fully equipped kitchen, and enclosed backyard that has outdoor seating and a BBQ. You can almost see the stagecoach passing under the mature oak trees that are nearby.
Steps Away Cottage has been fully renovated with newer flooring, fixtures, and amenities. Central Heat and A/C Host pays the 12% TOT Tax, Not the guest!
Park the car and stay awhile while enjoying a walk to morning coffee and a stroll back, meandering through shops and country lanes. You could spend the entire time at your leisure as you experience the refuge of your stay. However, if you so desire, you are only moments away from all the wineries, European moments of Solvang, and wide-open spaces of the Santa Ynez Valley.

We had a great time, everything was walking distance. The place was clean and comfortable. My little chihuahua was enjoying her stay too. Will go back soon, loved how close it was to Solvang.
Close to great restaurants and shops. Perfect wine country getaway. My family was able to enjoy the town while I was working in the Santa Barbara wine Country.
We needed a quiet place for a friend that has PTSD. This place was well located and quiet at night. Restaurants close by and easy to find. We would stay here again.
We loved our stay so much! The location is great- walking distance to several bars, restaurants, shops, tasting rooms. The house is so cute and kept up really well. Super close to lots of wineries and Solvang and Los Olivos!
The property was well laid out for an early Thanksgiving. Everything was nice and clean. The location was close to great restaurants and a quaint shopping area as well as Solvang. Would book here again.
Take my word, you will want to stay here! Best location. Walking distance to everything in Santa Ynez and a short drive to Los Olivos and Solvang. Very clean. Will be returning!
We loved this cute little duplex in downtown. It was recently completely renovated and is very clean. We took our 3 dogs and 2 year old so the fenced in front and back yards were awesome. We will book with them again next year.
WONDERFUL! Great area, cute places to eat and shop. We never had to drive anywhere. Love the front and back yard for the pups. Had a great time!!!! Definitely a gem.
Jordan’s place was exactly as pictured if not better! The location was convenient and the biggest plus of all…literally steps away from our favorite restaurant SY kitchen. Cheers to an amazing weekend. We can’t wait to come back!
Hats off to the owner for the clean aesthetic design of this home interior. Open concept, very tasteful house with fenced yard which was great for our pups. So many thoughtful details in a very well stocked kitchen. Location is fantastic as you can walk to great restaurants and shopping. Highly recommend!
The house was perfect, roomy and clean. We had planned on bringing our two dogs and it a good thing we didn’t because they are not allowed in the furniture. Everything was perfect and I will stay again next time I am in the area.
The home was in a perfect location! Walking distance to market, restaurants, wine tasting, coffee. Chumash casino is within walking distance too! Beautiful home, beautiful neighborhood, and friendly locals! Haven't been to Santa Ynez in over 10 yrs. Glad we went and hope to return soon!
This property could not have been in a better location! We have always wanted to see what Los Olivos has to offer and we were not disappointed. We were able to take our time and walk to breakfast, wineries and dinner. Quick and easy access to the casino as well. It was a lovely trip, and I would definitely stay here again!
The home is adorable, newly remodeled and pristine. It is within walking distance of several shops and restaurants and very conveniently located for visiting many wineries
Pam’s place in Santa Ynez is great! Convenient location, super clean, comfy beds and great yard space. Would highly recommend and look forward to staying here again!
