wonderful location
We stayed for an entire month. The location was superb: close to beach walks, restaurants, and State Street. You'll never get bored. Ian responded to our concerns quickly, and the relationship was hassle-free. The property is beautiful but could use some upgrades for people who stay longer (like us), cook in a good bit, and spend many evenings at the apartment. But it is perfect for stays up to a week.

Fantastic Stay!
We had a great stay at this quaint historic property. We loved being close to all the activities, many within walking distance and had plenty of parking available on the street as well as as a designated parking spot on site which can be tricky in other areas we've stayed at. The house was clean and outfitted with everything we needed. The beds and linens were very comfortable. Communication with host was perfect, all information about property, check in/out, was readily available. We also enjoyed many of the recommendations on restaurants the host provided. Only observation is that the furnishings of the home are different that the photos, same exact layout, just different furniture that is showing signs of expected wear and tear for a short term rental. Will definitely consider this property again when visiting Santa Barbara. Highly recommend!

Quaint Santa Barbara Home
The location of this home is great for walking to the beach or heading towards State St. Comfy furniture, including the beds with multiple pillows. Cute kitchen with everything you might need. Appreciated the communication with Ian the host, including the list of recommendations for local restaurants. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would rent this home again in the future.

Great location
You can’t beat this location. A few blocks from beach and state street. Comfortably sleeps 4, lots of space. We needed to open the window to air things out and many of the screens are loose and dirty. That was our only complaint.

Great little place
We came to Santa Barbara for a college visit with our son and found this place at the last minute. It was perfect for our family of 3. Though an older home, all the modern conveniences you need are available and function well. The place has both heat and AC which is a rarity in the area. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had the basics that you would need to cook a meal. Ian was very responsive and easy to get a hold of with any questions. We love staying in West Beach when we come to Santa Barbara and would definitely consider staying here again.

nice place for a Santa Barbara getaway
Great location in Santa Barbara. Nice place to stay, with some minor issues. Not really setup for cooking and eating-in (minimal glasses, cookware etc). Things were a bit worn-out, but clean and reasonably well-maintained otherwise. We were there during a torrential rainstorm, and some minor issues with water coming in through one of the bedroom windows (streaming off the roof). Overall, we'd stay here again. Great location. No surprises.

The location is fantastic. Walking distance to everything including the AMTRAK station. The house was clean and well stocked. We did not cook however if someone wanted to the kitchen would have anything you would need. The beds are super comfortable! I have nothing negative to say about the property.

About the host

Hosted by Ian Anderson

Host profile image
This recently updated home has been a family treasure since my grandparents purchased it nearly 50 years ago.

Why they chose this property

We grew up on California's central coast, and now make Santa Barbara our home. It is a wonderful place to live and we feel like we're vacationing in our own home town. This home is central to the Santa Ynez wine country, and just 90 minutes from Los Angeles.
