I would’ve been happy to write an outstanding review besides the fact that the host is a thief and a liar. Due to unseen circumstances I had to cut my stay short by almost 2 1/2 weeks. The host looked me in the eye and told me she would refund the money to me By breaking it down to a weekly rate! she specifically Said to my face and told me that because of the circumstances she would be happy to refund the money, even though that was not standard procedure.... I asked her four times, are you sure? I asked her many more times are you sure? and she replied yes, if you write your information down then I will send you an envelope in the mail... It has now been over a month and I have received absolutely NO REFUND!!! I havent even received a letter from her, and she specifically told me to write my phone number, my name, my address, and all my information Down on a piece of paper on the table... If this lady did not lie right to my face and specifically tell me she was going to give me a refund due to the circumstances then like I said before I would have no problem better reviewing, but for any future guest staying there be aware that this lady does not stay true to her word! She comes off as a nice lady just to steal peoples hard earned money... you need an ETHICS CLASS!!! Good luck in the future by treating your guest like this. A very unhappy tenant!

Love this space, and love Janet! Inspiring and restful, and filled with the owner's warmth and thoughtfulness reflected in the many personal touches throughout the space and grounds. Fabulous claw foot bathtub for a deeply relaxing soak! Janet is a wonderful host; quickly responsive and very communicative.

Janet is a wonderful, kind, and caring host. My room was stocked with fresh eggs from the chickens who live on the property. The apartment is charmingly and comfortably furnished. The location is ideal. Even though it is close to the freeway, it was very quiet. It is walking distance to downtown and shops on State Street. I am definitely going to return.

My husband and I stayed in the cottage in December 2017 and we loved it. Quintessential Santa Barbara with an amazing patio with lights in the trees. Perfect for coffee in the morning or cocktails in the evening. The cottage is located walking distance to the restaurants and shops on State St. Janet is the perfect hostess-we had fresh eggs, fresh flowers, well equipped kitchen and she has quite a bit of art that really makes the cottage special. We hope to return someday.

We were so impressed by Janet’s kindness and consideration. For example, she had fresh eggs, milk, bacon, bread and other breakfast items in the refrigerator for us. The decor of the cottage is beautiful and the setting makes you forget that you are in the middle of the city. We very much appreciated that we could bring our dog Cody with us. He also felt right at home and welcome! The location of the cottage is ideal for walking to museums, historical sites, shopping, and more. We definitely will choose to stay here again the next time we are in Santa Barbara. Thank you, Janet! 🐾?🐾?🐾?🐾?

Janet was very welcoming and helpful as needed. We enjoyed a generous breakfast in the cottage, fresh coffee, tea, and everything we needed to feel cared for. It was a great retreat with a lot of greenery and tranquil vibes.

I loved staying at Rose Mary Cottage. It is small but it has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Janet has thought of everything to make you happy and will provide your first breakfast with farm fresh eggs (delicious)and bacon or anything else you may desire. There will be blankets if you are cold and a ceiling fan if you are warm. The cottage is surrounded by trees and you can see the birds and hear them sing, the trees give wonderful shade. Two or three blocks will take you to State St. and many restaurants and bars, stores, concerts, whatever you like. If you wish you can make a meal or two in the well appointed kitchen which includes a dishwasher. She is a gracious and helpful lady and I have nothing but good memories of my stay there.

I stayed a few weeks in this cozy , homey vintage cottage. It's convenient to downtown, the beach and the highway, and is in a secure compound with a very green garden setting. The cottage has a unique eclectic style with collectibles and lots of art. It's very clean and has everything needed including a comfy bed and very well stocked kitchen. Janet's hospitality is amazing. Not only does she provide fresh flowers, wine and a breakfast on arrival, she is incredibly thoughtful and goes out of her way to see to the comfort of her guests. She's happy to provide anything needed including good conversation. I loved getting to know Janet, and I loved staying at Rose Mary cottage.

Rose Mary Cottage was perfect! The smell of the honeysuckle outside the bathroom window was heavenly! Absolutely no complaints! We can't wait to come back!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Rosemary Cottage! We felt right at home and have nothing but nice things to say about Janet and her beautiful property. Would definitely recommend and return if ever in Santa Barbara again.
