“Working with Paradise Retreats has been effortless. They are professional, hardworking and always on top of any situation that needs to be dealt with. I recommend them highly!”

Mark – Historic Downtown Retreat & Historic Downtown Cottage

“You guys are great to work with, quick to respond, aware of what guests want and need, while always keeping us in mind and in the loop. What we like best is that when anything comes up, we are able to get on the phone and chat through solutions quickly. Whether it's a quirky owner's block like we have in late March, or a repair need like a spouting hot-tub or broken shower-handle. You guys are on top of your business, and by extension, our home. We are happy to partner with you.”

Ed – Epicurean Cottage

“I have been fortunate enough to have been associated with Theo Kracke and Paradise Retreats for over two years.  I have always found him to be honest, forthright, and a hands-on manager who is never satisfied with "good enough”.  He always goes the extra mile to accommodate owners, and to exceed the needs and expectations of guests.  He is extremely detail oriented, and has chosen a great cadre of staff to assist him.  I enthusiastically endorse him and would be happy to discuss any questions prospective clients might have.”

Dr. Gruning - Seashell Cottage & Seaside Cottage

“We have just returned to the home after being away for the first time since Paradise Retreats began managing it.  You should know that we are so impressed with how your staff and company are handling the property.  First, it is extremely clean and would be acceptable to even the most germ phobia individuals.  I am talking about myself!  Second, there appears to be little wear and tear for the property which means your screening process is working well. The guest book is full of wonderful praise for the house and amenities which, in part, are due to your staff and its dedication to the details.  Please let everyone on your staff know how pleased we are with the great job each one is doing.”

Anton – Villa Primavera

“We are very happy to have Paradise Retreats managing our vacation rental property. The company is highly professional, they show great attention to detail, and are extremely responsive to the needs and requests of property owners and guests. The staff is absolutely wonderful to work with! We highly recommend Paradise Retreats to anyone considering renting their home.”

Elizabeth – Seascape Retreat

“The staff at Paradise Retreats is enthusiastic, dedicated and competent.”

Derek – Bella Vina Retreat

“Paradise Retreats began managing our Montecito coastal property in 2007. Their organization, communication, and maintenance were so impressive that we remodeled and converted one of our long-term rentals in Santa Barbara into a vacation rental also. It has been so successful, and so well maintained, that we wish we had done it sooner. Paradise Retreats’ management of both my properties has been above and beyond anything we ever expected. The best thing is every time my family shows up to stay at one of our houses it looks like it has just been staged for a Sunset Magazine photo shoot. Great Work!!”

Brian – Sand Dollar Retreat & Lighthouse Retreat

“Paradise Retreats is a very professional Company that cares about its property owners and guests, I have nothing but high regards for Paradise Retreats and its professional staff.”

Brad – Cathedral Vista Retreat

“Paradise Retreats has been diligent in representing my property to prospective renters. We have had consistent bookings as time and exposure have increased knowledge of the property. The prospective renters have been thoroughly "vetted", as well as their planned use of the property. When repairs have been required I have been notified quickly and solutions quickly rendered. I have enjoyed working with their personnel and look forward to a long term association.”

Carol – Driftwood Beach Retreat

“We find the service to be thoughtfully organized. They maintain high standards and are always available. The bookkeeping is excellent and efficient. Only one problem: they are pushing all of us into a higher tax bracket! April 15th may be painful. ”

Bob – Shoreline Retreat

"Our experience with Paradise Retreats has been great; Theo and the staff are professional and responsive and I feel that my property is in excellent hands."

Tim – Villa Ballena

“Thank you and your team for doing a fantastic job keeping my house rented and maintained. I just stayed at the house, and I can attest to what a great job you have done. Thanks for keeping me informed of any improvements and/or replacement items that are needed.”
