We stayed in our VRBO for a week. We loved the location because we could just walk to so many fun places. The place was cute and the bed was very comfortable. The pink tile in the kitchen made me smile everytime I walked around the corner from the living room. It definitely gave the place a vintage Santa Barbara feel. We really appreciated having a designated parking spot. That was a huge 'plus' for my husband. I would definitely stay there again!

The only criticism is the apartment was a little dated. The parking was good, the communication with the host was excellent. The host was very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect just one or two blocks from the ocean and very centrally located.

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!

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!
