Lovely, clean, kids friedly
We spent one of our long weekend in this house last January. House size was perfect for a 4-family-group. House was very kids friendly with high chair and toys. We also enjoyed hot tub. Since whether was chilly we did not spend time in the back yard, but it looks nice with a nice view. House is only 10 min driving to downtown or to mission and few dining places in walking distance.
Lovely Weekend
My family rented the Grand Mediterranean for a weekend in late January. It was the perfect place for us. Plenty of
communal space in the living room, dining room, and on the veranda. Nice ocean view from the back and awesome
mountain view in the front. The kitchen was very well equipped and easy to work in. Of course, the hot tub and
outdoor fireplace were wonderful plusses. We hope to stay in this place again in the future. The Mesa area is
close to both downtown and the harbor, so it's an ideal location. I wish it were mine!
Wonderful Home, great location
What a great house! We had such a fun time in the hot tub, playing ping pong, and enjoying the view from the patio. Beautiful views of the mountains and oceans, loved it! Will be back :)
Beautiful house but some issues
The house and location is great! It has a beautiful view of the ocean, which was great to watch sunsets. The photos do not do the place justice. We enjoyed our time together with friends, but unfortunately, there were some issues that made our vacation less than perfect.
(We have stayed in many other VRBOs, so we are comparing to our stays in those.)
The property was clean, however, the laundry bags from the previous tenants stayed on our door step the entire time of our stay. The trash bins were full when we got there and no one came to put it out like stated. Each bathroom had one roll of toilet paper and we had to provide the rest during our stay. This would have been good to know before hand. Also, the main reason we rented this house was for the hot tub, but when we arrived it was not heating up. When I called the supervisor because the owner was on vacation, she told me the previous tenants also complain of this issue, but no one was sent to check it out. I finally contacted the owner and was told someone would come fix it, but no one did during our stay.
Well Placed
My family stayed here during my wedding at the Fess Parker's Doubletree Hotel. It was seven minutes to the hotel and the house provided a nice place for our small reception dinner the night before. The house was clean and laid
Views and Comfort
This was a really nice place. The beds were comfortable and the layout worked well for our group of kids and adults. The house has enough parking for three or four cars (had a problem with that on a previous visit) and is about three minutes to downtown - easy trip. We went downtown several times, did Farmer's Market on Tuesday, Sea Center, shoppping, Courthouse (beautiful when you go up in the clock tower) and ate out - favorite restaurant was Palazzio (tons of food).
The house has a great back patio with dining table, benches and fire pit...we watched the sunset a couple nights...amazing.
If I had to give one suggestion it would be to change the full size bed in the one bedroom to a queen.
Map
This property is three - four minutes from a host of wonderful activities in Santa Barbara including the Urban Wine train in the Funk Zone, Santa Barbara City College, Santa Barbara Zoo, Leadbetter and West Beach, Shoreline Park, Elings Park, Downtown Santa Barbara, Marina and Stearn's Wharf.
