About Us

Save The Rentals Santa Barbara is a group committed to the idea that well-managed and well-regulated Short Term Rentals can be a benefit to our community.

Our members include:

Travelers who benefit from Short Term Rentals

  • Families who could not otherwise afford a Santa Barbara holiday
  • Travelers to Santa Barbara who prefer a shared family-style gathering (rather than being separated into individual hotel rooms)
  • Temporary workers, professors, medical personnel & their families relocating for employment, executive housing, insurance claim temporary housing, housing needed during remodels
  • People looking to move to our area; for whom a short term rental is an excellent housing alternative while they look for more permanent housing.

Community supporters who benefit from Short Term Rentals

  • Citizens who can afford their homes because of the revenues created by STRs
  • Citizens who understand the enormous overall economic benefit of STRs to our City
  • Neighbors who have had good experiences with short term rentals
  • Civic leaders who realize that the City cannot afford to lose a clean industry which creates significant revenues – directly & indirectly
