We have rented on VRBO thirty or forty times over the years, and this is one of our favorites. Yes, it’s a bit dated so if you’re someone more accustomed to and preferring contemporary interior design, this might not be for you. That said, everything in the home was totally functional and well thought out (which can’t be said for all rentals)...kitchen appliances, good lighting (electric and natural) throughout, excellent king and queen bed mattresses, large flat screen TVs, comfortable conversation and reading areas (including library with hundreds of bookshelves), every imaginable pot and pan and utensil and dinnerware, large gas barbecue. The home is even more spacious than in the photos. The patios both in front and behind the house offer superb places to enjoy early morning, afternoon and sunset light. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood just a few blocks from the pedestrian sidewalk overlooking the entire Santa Barbara coastline; access to the beach is literally blocks away from your doorstep. Dana, who manages the property, was a delight, checking in with us regularly to ensure all of our needs were met. We have already booked our return next year and are counting the days!
