Ideally located for a coastal getaway, the Santa Cruz Suite offers a delightful second-floor perch, only a couple minutes' walk from the famous shores of sun-drenched East Beach. In a small oceanside complex, amenities include a sunny communal area with outdoor dining tables, lounge chairs, benches, and a barbeque grill. Your vacation rental is just one block from the golden sands of stunning East Beach, a block from the waterfront shuttle, and a bike path along the beachfront. Enjoy the laid-back vibe in downtown Santa Barbara, and head the same distance to Stearns Wharf for shopping, dining, fishing, or simply enjoying the salty breeze and incredible ocean views. This home is walkable to tasting sessions at Sanguis Winery, and local shops and eateries are even closer.

A wall of windows floods the sitting area with natural light. A decorative electric fireplace adds a tranquil ambience. A twin daybed with a twin trundle below can be used for additional sleeping space. The unit includes a mini-refrigerator and freezer, microwave, and coffee maker. French doors lead into the bedroom, where a California king bed lets you sleep like royalty. A comfy armchair offers a pleasant spot to read, and a 32-inch TV awaits for movie nights.

BEWARE!!!

The location and room was just fine, the bathroom had some mildew in the shower and around the window as older places frequently do. The issue came with the stocking of very basic supplies, mainly toilet paper. We were left with one partial roll and when I called I was told my rental agreement stated that when any supplies ran out it was my responsibility to replace them. I went back and thoroughly read the agreement, in no way is it made clear that this includes TOILET PAPER! Shampoo, soap, even dish soap I can understand. Not toilet paper. We ended up having to take time out of our very short weekend that was meant to be spent with our dear friend for her wedding going out and buying toilet paper. The rental company refunded my cleaning fee, but would not refund the service fee they charge despite the 5 phone calls I had to spend my time on trying to get a roll of TP dropped off to us! I was told someone would call me back three times and didn’t receive that call until I was home and demanding financial compensation. When I was finally granted the refund, I was told it would take 4-6 WEEKS for a check to arrive in the mail. Absolutely ridiculous, I would rather get a room at the motel 6 down the block that has a pool and likely a free supply of toilet paper! So disappointed in vacasa as a business.

Great location, some charm. But...

Great to be near the beach. It is an old house, with creaks and thin walls that go with it. The place was clean and well equipped. But desperately in need of care. Two big shades in the "sunroom" were dirty and broken only they only stayed down, chipped paint, no anti-slip mat in a slick shower, other things that you rarely encounter for this price.

Great location, unit wasn’t quite what I expected

Loved the location, close to the beach, we walked to several places. At first appearance, walking the streets on the backside near the tracks felt a little sketchy, but we never felt unsafe or encountered anything to make us nervous. Continued to walk every day without issue. The unit itself - I knew from the listing it was an old house, but it could use some touch-ups, it felt a little dingy. I could tell it was clean, just needs some TLC here and there. Mainly in the bathroom - cracked paint on baseboards and in corners, old jet tub, dingy tile. There was a musty old house smell overall. The linens were very comfy though. The listing said they provided ear plugs but we didn’t see any. We just used our sound machine app, which was definitely needed - the neighbors in our house were loud every night when they came home and you can hear every little sound from adjacent units. And there was the train as the listing mentioned. We slept fine anyways. Fortunately I paid with credit card points that discounted the overall cost, but if I had paid the full price posted on Vacasa I would feel a little shortchanged after all the fees that get tacked on. If there were no better options through Vacasa in the area I would stay again though which is why I gave 4 stars.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy

Short visit in Santa Barbara

The location of this property was the main reason we chose it, nice and close to the beach. It was clean, but floors were unlevel, especially in the bedroom where the head of the bed seemed lower than the foot of the bed. And there was a 10 digit code to unlock/ lock the door to the room which was very cumbersome /bothersome every time we left and came back. Not sure we would stay here again as the cons probably outweighed the pros.
