ForFriends Inn Is Your Best Vacation Rental Alternative
Vacation Rentals, sometimes known as whole-house rentals, are a fun way for families and friends to come together in a intimate and private setting. Many vacation rental properties, however, have run afoul of local municipalities due to noise, traffic, trash, safety, zoning and tax issues. Santa Barbara Wine Country is no exception and as of Oct 1, 2018, whole house rentals of less than 30 days are no longer allowed. Sensing that the local code enforcement authorities may be slow to police this new ordinance, many hosts are ‘taking their chances’ and electing to continue receiving bookings. This presents considerable risk for guests who very well may have their plans disrupted should the homeowner be found out by the county. Those considering a vacation rental in Santa Barbara county should always contact the homeowner or rental agent to ask two questions. First, ask for a copy of their permit and inspection certificates to ensure they are in compliance with local regulations. Second, ask how they will guarantee that your plans won’t be disrupted.
Inns and boutique hotels have always been a better choice than a whole house rental because that’s what they do – they take care of their guests. They are designed and operated with groups of people in mind while meeting all of the health and safety, ADA, and zoning ordinance requirements. All of this results in a ‘hosted stay’ that is a more pleasant and memorable experience for all involved.
