Perfect location in a perfect town

This was a perfect location for a single person or couple visiting Santa Barbara. Spacious rooms, very comfortable bed, and a 5-10 minute walk from the water, State Street, tons of bars, restaurants, and wine rooms. We will definitely keep in mind for our next visit!

Charming, well equipped Apartment

I found this Coastal Getaway to celebrate my UCSB graduate. VRBO happily offered this option with parking. The neighborhood was darling & peaceful. The beach really was close. The unit was roomy, quaint and provided a comfortable nest while we celebrated this big occasion.PK

Unit is located in a lovely area just a 5-minute walk to the beach, restaurants, wharf and shops. Very quiet neighborhood as well. Kitchen was well stocked with all the cookware and appliances you'll need for either a short or long stay. Bedroom with king bed was very comfortable. We both commented on how well we slept each night. Covered off-street parking was a big bonus. Mary was very pleasant when booking on-line and quite helpful with the instructions she sent prior to our arrival. My wife and I were also very surprised when we noticed the small gift she had left for our stay. Will definitely stay here again when travelling to the SB area.

Cute apartment, great location

We spent 5 days at Mary’s place while visiting family. Absolutely LOVED the location, just minutes from the beach, pier, restaurants and shops. Mary went the extra mile and even loaned me a hand mixer so I could bake for my son. Only issue was the mattress, which was a bit stiffer than we are used to. We will be back!

Perfect Spot at the Center of it All!

We (husband and I) had a delightful stay in this perfect for two people property. The apartment is close to the beach, restaurants, and entertainment. Once you park your car in the carport space provided, you can walk to all sorts of places. There are nice touches like two beach chairs and a shoulder cooler bag as well as a comfortable king bed. The host, Mary, is a wonderful communicator and provided great information before and during our stay. We prepared a couple of our own meals as the kitchen is well stocked and the dining area was comfortable with a cool breeze coming off the ocean with the window open - delightful!

Oldie but Goodie!

We had a WONDERFUL stay at this property...it may be old but Mary saw to it that the inside was as perfect as it could be! The bed was ridiculously comfortable, the towels lush and Mary gave us the skinny on all the great places to eat...where the locals go. This is a large apartment, not a 1 bedroom room. We were spoiled...LOVED the location!!

Mary was a good host, very responsive and easy to communicate with.The property is a small upstairs apartment that is a great location in Santa Barbara. It is very dated, but reasonably well stocked and comfortable.We feel it is better suited for short stays rather than week long, or longer, stays such as ours. There were only 2 washcloths and 4 towels in the apartment. The absence of a functional laundry made it difficult for a week long stay. There is also no iron or ironing board, but a small hand held steamer which does not press any clothing, which is needed in that climate and for longer stays.The lack of a dishwasher in the small kitchen also creates problems for those that like to cook and eat in.The carpet was not very clean, as our socks tuned dark when walking inside. We were also disappointed that there was no outdoor living space or a place for any like a porch or patio.Overall, we had a nice time and think that the property has value because it's priced below the local market.
