Very nice home in a gorgeous area. Close drive to beach, restaurants, etc. Not walkable so we tried to do all of our activities before going back to the house at the end of the day. The home has everything for cooking. Would definitely book again!
Host was incredible during a very difficult time for our family! Shout out to Cyndi and Jamie. Would highly recommend using AvantStay, my family certainly will! House was perfect for our needs as well.

Thank you for your heartfelt review, William! We're so glad to hear that Cyndi and Jamie were able to support you during such a difficult time. It means a lot to us that you and your family had a positive experience, and we're thrilled the house worked perfectly for your needs. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to hosting your family again in the future.
Came for a wedding at a nearby country club and wanted a location close to the venue. Location was perfect and the home covered all the basics. Property is dated but has all the requirements. Had some trouble with the TV and WiFi but property management was very responsive.

We selected this property because of the reviews and it delivered. Very comfortable for a family of 5 (two grandparents, two parents, one 4 year old). We would definitely stay here again. The only thing is the first time you try to find the property, it's a little hard to tell where it is off the street.

Beautiful Home
My family and I enjoyed our stay at East Valley Manor. The home is inviting, roomy and beautiful! We enjoyed our evenings sitting around the fire pit in the backyard. Also enjoyed our coffee in the morning in the backyard. It's gorgeous! The home is clean and well kept. It was a little difficult finding the house at night but well worth the adventure. Appreciate you sharing your home with us!
Great house for a small family gathering. Location was convenient as we were in town for graduation at UC Santa Barbara. The yard was great; lots of games to entertain our older kiddos.
