This was the cleanest VRBO Ive ever stayed in!!! Such a great location too. Amazing yard! Wish there as AC in all the rooms, it was very warm while we were there. But overall everything is just perfect at this home.

Hi, thank you so much for the wonderful review. We are happy you enjoyed your stay and the beautiful ocean views. Many of the homes in Santa Barbara do not have A/C, however the high efficiency portable A/C and ceiling fans help cool the property! We would love to have you stay again. Haller Coastal Homes
Great location and a very nice house! All the amenities you need and spacious enough for our whole group. Would definitely stay here again!

This is an incredibly comfortable home - small, but perfect for me and my wife and our dog. The location is also perfect. A 5 minute drive to state street, wonderful walking park across the street, Lazy Acres grocery up the road, beach a short 5 minute walk away. Love this home!

We cannot thank you enough for this 1st review of this new exceptional property! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback and all the things you enjoyed about this home and location. We hope you will come visit again soon. Much appreciated, Haller Coastal Homes
I enjoyed my stay at the Shoreline cottage. It was the perfect location! Ocean views, park, sunset and close to everything in SB. Super clean and nice beds, bathrooms, kitchen, backyard, etc. Not all windows have screens and portable AC units may not be enough in the heat of summer but the ocean breeze cooled things down and it wasn't too hot in March. Great location if you bring your fur baby, lots of park/grass to walk and enjoy the ocean views.

Thank you Jennifer for bringing this up. Most of the homes in Santa Barbara do not have A/C and it's rarely needed and not plumbed for central heat or A/C due to the age of the homes. We do provide high efficiency units just in case that are terrific on warmer days. As well, we rarely have any bugs and screens impede the views for sure. The large slider does have a screen door. To have these views, be able to bring your dog and for 1/5th the price of a hotel, this property is quite an amazing deal, we agree!
This is the best equipped vrbo I’ve ever been to coffee spices garbage bags towels everything you need. Loved Love

Such a cute property!! Decorated perfectly for my Last Toast on the Coast Bachelorette!! I would like to recommend some extra blankets and a couple full length mirrors, but other than that we loved it! I would totally come back and bring my dog since it’s directly across from the park!!

Thank you so much Jenna! We really appreciate the feedback and great review. We have alerted the property owner and they will be adding some mirrors and a couple throw blankets. Due to Covid and post covid measures, we are limited on the linens that can be provided due to needing to be washed and bleached after each guest stay but the ones on the bed are nice and warm. Much appreciated, Haller Coastal Homes
Pros: Great location. Cute house. Super clean. Nice layout and amenities. Cons: really need A/C. Old house retains heat and never cools off. They have small portable units but they are very inefficient. There are no screens on any windows so I couldn’t really figure that out. If you are okay with heat you’ll love it!

Unfortunately this guest was not happy prior to their arrival as we were not able to help with an arrival 3 hours early. We always try our best to make sure guests are well-taken care of and if a home is available early, we love to help make the stay that much more enjoyable. We went to the home on 2 occasions as she said the heater was on which it was not, she just needed to open a window as sometimes the living room sun depending on time of year will come through but opening the screen door cools it instantly. It's always hard for property owners that try very hard to provide as close to perfect accommodations and then have false information posted online as a way to solicit a refund. We can assure all guests there are screens on all windows and the most wonderful ocean breezes in this gorgeous cottage. The owner does provide 2 high efficiency A/C units for the very few days we might get over 80 each year but most definitely the home is NOT hot as this guest comments. Also, this remodeled cottage is not able to have central air due to the age of the home and heating set up. We understand that we cannot please everyone all the time even with our best efforts.
This property was lovely - clean, new, well decorated. The only issue was the listing says it has AC but it doesn't, and the heat only vents out to the living room. We all had to keep our bedroom doors open to get even a little bit of the living room heat to travel into the bedrooms. The listing is inaccurate there. Also, the lighting in the living room is harsh and the overhead light flickers. Definitely need a lamp in there! Overall nice though.

Thank you Matthew! With the recent changes on the VRBO website with their new Key Rewards Program, the explanation of type of A/C was removed which used to reference "portable rolling A/C unit (2)". Thank you for bringing to our attention! We are sorry you did not find the high efficiency rolling A/C units in 2 of the closets. We will put them out now. They do an amazing job cooling the home! With the cooler weather we have had this winter and spring, they were put away. The property owner just remodeled the property and without the ability to put in central A/C and heat due to the age of the home, this was the best solution. We do hope to have you back in the future and appreciate you bringing this up so other guests know before booking. We have also alerted VRBO they need to bring back the "type" of A/C! Much appreciated, Haller Coastal Homes
very nice place to stay. close to beach and seemed larger than it looked. very nice backyard and firepit.
