Beautiful view and central location around town made it an awesome place to stay in town
Great spot, super convenient location to town and beaches.
Charles was very accommodating to some of our needs before we even officially booked this place. He was very communicative and gave us great suggestions for things to do and see.
The place is beautiful. Great location. I highly recommend.
This property is very clean, quiet and peaceful. Charles was responsive to our texts when we had a questions about directions. Everything we needed were there to be comfortable during our stay.
The birds singing in the morning were beautiful. We would definitely stay there again.
The vintage trailer is so cool — not made out of plastic like today’s RVs. The setting is beautiful and peaceful, and the location was great, close to downtown. Charles greeted us upon arrival and made us feel right at home. It’s also located near a large park that we were able to walk to using a path on the property. Overall, we had a wonderful time and truly enjoyed our stay.

What a sweet space. This is our second time staying here, and I look forward to coming here annually now. I love having a view and also a quiet country space all while within Santa Barbara. Charles is an easy and kind host.

This is a wonderful find. The beautifully kept Airstream was perfect for our short stay in Santa Barbara. The bathroom in the barn next door and the private patio overlooking a valley made it all complete. We look forward to staying there again next time.

The airstream was perfect -- we had a splendid time! It's cozy and charming, close to town but tucked away in peace, and the bathroom even has a fun art gallery that we enjoyed as we brushed our teeth. Thank you, Charles!!

Charles was a great host. The vintage Airstream was very cool (original wood paneling) and extremely comfortable. The location was very peaceful and quiet, yet very close to all of our activities in and around Santa Barbara. Very satisfied and would visit again.

I absolutely loved staying in this vintage trailer. Charles is such a kind human and wants the best for your stay, and is there if you need anything. If you're looking for a peaceful get away and listening to the crickets and sounds of animals at night this is your place. It is also located a short walk from Ellings Park which is a must see. I also highly recommend Gibralter Rock. It is a view that will take your breath away! I will definitely be back very soon. Amazing stay
Great location, located close to the beach, market and dining. we rode our e-bikes to the beach easily and loved our experience.

Charles communicates clearly on the app. The spot is sweet and comfortable. We loved sitting on the patio in the sun, listening to the birds. The separate bathroom and sink were easy and close. I would stay here again anytime.

Such a beautiful place to stay! The airstream was like staying in a little time capsule. It was very clean and the bed was also quite comfortable. Nice to have such close and easy bathroom access and hot water for a shower. We loved that it's a quick walk up to the park that has an incredible views of the mountains and ocean. Charles the host was friendly and made sure we had all we needed. I'd definitely come stay again next time we're in the area.

I had a lovely time staying here for a weekend visiting a friend. Absolutely stunning property with beautiful views right from the trailer. Really great trails with more stunning views accessible via a few mins walk from the property. Trailer has everything you need for a comfy stay and the bathroom shed isn’t too shabby either. Taller folks might be a little more uncomfy in the trailer but for my 5’4 self it was perfectly cozy.

Charles’ Hipcamp was lovely. The airstream was in great condition, as was the bathroom. The bathroom is only a few steps away from the airstream, which is very convenient. The property is scenic and quiet, while still being only a few minutes drive or short jog from downtown.

We had a great time staying here! Well equipped airstream with everything you need on a large and really lovely wooded property. We took advantage of the trails nearby and loved the table outside for morning coffee. Would totally stay here again.

Beautiful, secluded spot close to the beach, downtown, and campus. The Airstream is darling.
The ‘48 airstream was adorable and cozy. I’d take this spot on the side of a hill over a hotel in Santa Barbara any day! The land is beautiful and Charles was kind enough to check in with us, and then let us do our own thing. Enjoy.
Beautiful property, gracious and friendly host, cool vintage camper and great weather. We loved this place.

A cozy vintage camper surrounded by a beautiful garden and native greenery. The hike up the hill behind the property is well worth the effort as the ocean view is lovely. Two enthusiastic thumbs!

What a great location. Close enough to town for all that offers but also a picturesque place with a lovely short hike to Ellis park.
My son and I really enjoyed our couple of nights here.
Thanks for the hospitality Charles.

I loved staying at Charles vintage Airstream! The trailer is located in a great spot up the hills right next to Elings Park which is easily accessible via a private path and where you should go to enjoy a breathtaking sunset on the bay. Charles property is beautifully curated and provided with all amenities; you literally don't need to pack as if you are going camping as the trailer and bathroom are fully stocked and ready to welcome you.

The property is absolutely beautiful. It does get pretty cold especially walking to the bathroom in the morning if you’re staying during winter so being warm clothes! But the property and trailer are so beautiful it’s well worth it. Charles was lovely.
Fantastic view of the canyon from the patio. We’ll put together airstream!

I only have great things to say about my stay in the Airstream! The property is tucked away from the road and is so beautiful and peaceful. The view from the patio outside the trailer is beautiful and the perfect spot to have morning coffee and work during the day.
The bed was very comfortable and I kept most of the windows open, but it was still it was very quiet at night. It was easy to access the private bathroom, which is in a building right next to the trailer. There's a flush toilet, sink, and hot water shower (shower pressure was great!) The Wifi was very fast and reliable. I work remotely and had to work during my stay + streamed a movie on my laptop, both with no issues.
There's a grocery store about a mile away that I picked up a few things at so I appreciated the mini fridge and freezer, microwave, and kitchen supplies.
All in all, I highly recommend this place if you're in Santa Barbara. It's in a great location and Charles was a great host!
We had a wonderful time here. The caravan is comfortable and the setting is beautiful. Charles was very friendly and helpful.
