Great space! 2 blocks from the beach and an easy walk to lots of great restaurants. A trip to the State Street farmers market is a must. It took us about 20 minutes to walk there but lots of cool buildings and window shopping along the way. Also, the weather is always perfect in Santa Barbara!Our party was two couples traveling together. The two king beds and two bathrooms suited us perfectly. There was plenty of space for us to hang out together but also plenty of privacy.We enjoyed the open air trolley tour. It was a fun relaxing way to learn more about the city.We enjoyed having coffee on the front porch every morning and the back patio had fruit trees that were interesting to view.We would definitely choose this space again!

This was a perfect VRBO for our family of four! We loved the location, decor, comfortable beds, cleanliness, and outdoor seating options. The communication from the property management company was excellent and checkout was easy. We will definitely try to stay in this unit or another Haller Coastal Homes property if another opportunity arises for us to visit Santa Barbara again!

Location was superb. Amenities were lovely. Just about anything we needed was there.Main bed was developing slight ‘cradles’ where 2 people would each sleep, but not problematic. Be aware it’s the lower level, so night bright and sunny. But it did include the back yard and slightly larger garage (which will test your driving skills). Overall highly satisfied.

The property is lovely and beautifully appointed. The beds and linens are very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. We loved sitting in the backyard amongst the fruit and avocado trees. The location is wonderful. While we had a car we walked everywhere for the most part. Communication with the property manager was excellent. I highly recommend the property. If we return to SB we will definitely book here again.

Lovely neighborhood, close to the ocean with fabulous restaurants and activities nearby to enjoy.

Your duplex is lovely with spacious and functional kitchen. We enjoyed the attractive decor, except for a very disappointing living room set up. It has no arm chair with a light for reading. The old tired couch and entertainment center weren't consistent with the rest of the furnishings. My husband has balance and walking disabilities, so dropping down to the low seating there made it off limits for the most part. He also would have appreciated a few grab bars in the shower to make it safer. Kitchen needs towels. Thanks for the complimentary coffee. We had a very enjoyable time both relaxing in place and out on the town for activities and dinner. Thank you.

Thank you for the review Joanne! We are happy to let you know the couch that was on backorder for 2 months arrived right after you left. Sorry you did not get to enjoy it but it's a very comfortable sectional and everyone LOVES it! The home has many sets of recessed lighting and we are sorry you did not find these over the couch. These properties are not built to be ADA complaint as they are private homes that the property owner uses as well. So glad you had a great experience all around.

Lovely home in an ideal location

This is a wonderful family home, with a spacious living area, kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, garage, a large rear garden with bbq and a variety of seating areas, and a pleasant front garden that gets the morning sun. The property is a couple of blocks from the beach and the so-called “funk zone” that offers many restaurants and tourist options. The property was very clean and nicely decorated. There was some minor noise from the upstairs apartment, but nothing out of the ordinary. The large, walk-in showers were good, and the kitchen was well appointed with useful cooking equipment. Overall, an extremely pleasant stay in a beautiful town. We will certainly return!

Thank you so much Mike for this terrific review! Yes, the property is perfectly located and the owner takes great pride in making sure the property has everything you need. Yes, there is an upstairs unit, and the beauty is that you can actually now rent them both together! Some people that are light sleepers have mentioned this in the past but really the property exceeds expectations, we agree! Many thanks, Haller Coastal homes

Perfect location

Our stay at this home was great! The location was a short walking distance to the beach and popular restaurants. We could also walk just blocks to the Funk Zone. I would return to Santa Barbara and this VRBO property in a minute. As a side note, we were on the bottom unit and the upstairs sounds traveled easily. That didn't spoil our stay, however.

Hi Karol! Thank you for the great review. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. Yes there is an upstairs unit and we ask guests staying there to remove shoes. It's typically when someone is wearing heals or certain shoes that we have heard this, otherwise it's nice and quiet. However, the bonus of this downstairs villa is the spacious front and back yards, no additional stairs and oversized 1 car garage! We look forward to your return. All our best, Haller Coastal Homes

The location of the apartment (you can walk to the beach and downtown), the style, and the great service of the apartment's rental service are all elements making this apartment a great place to stay. The only slight negative was the upstair toilet was very loud when flushed.

Thank you for bringing this up Jennifer. Unfortunately, you arrived during one of the largest rain/flood storms we have had in Santa Barbara in many years. Many highways were shut down and our housekeeping company apologized profusely about the delay as they were stuck in traffic with all the re-routing of roads. We are sorry that our people that were immediately on site during your arrival and helped you move your baggage upstairs to the other unit that was vacant, was not enough to satisfy you. We do apologize it was a little over 1 hour you needed to wait for housekeeping company to finish during this rainstorm. Our team was thrilled they could make quick work and accommodate you in the upstairs unit for the hour you waited for the housekeeping company to finish. Most check in times at hotels and other vacation rentals in Santa Barbara are 4:00pm. This definitely might be something in the future our company considers as well.

Paradise

Coming from a drizzly grey Boston in early April, we were so happy to be in this lovely, artsy property. The back garden is lush and peaceful, the location perfect for walking anywhere. We loved taking the beach cart just two blocks to dip our toes in the Pacific. Kitchen is well equipped, bathrooms spacious and all common spaces are comfortable and well designed. As noted by others you do hear every footstep from the above unit, but in our case it sounded like young kids and quieted by 10 pm. The Amtrak blows through with a loud horn very nearby and startled us the first night, but once I downloaded a white noise app on my phone we were fine.

The Santa Barbara weather makes for a nice change. You cannot beat the beautiful sunsets and ability to eat outdoors in the sunshine! We work diligently to ensure that all properties have what you will need to start your vacation off great. You are able to hear footsteps at times from above because the properties are updated inside while still maintaining the original charm from the original build. We are happy you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your next visit with Haller Coastal Homes!
