About this property
Comfortable Condo Just a Half Block to East Beach!
Located one-half block from the Pacific Ocean and the wide sandy beaches of Cabrillo Boulevard, this three-bedroom, one-bath residence is the back unit of a beachside duplex. The location could not be more convenient for taking full advantage of iconic East Beach's coastal playground and the beauty that defines Santa Barbara as a world-class destination.
This cozy cottage will accommodate up to six people with queen-size beds in two bedrooms and a third room with two twin beds, each dressed in fresh coastal colors. A hall bathroom has a large walk-in shower, a soaking tub, and dual sinks. The living room, with television, features seating in a sunny window for curling up with the latest Santa Barbara or 805 magazines to see where to go next. Or sit down to a great meal at the dining table with patio views adjacent to the well-equipped kitchen.
The enclosed garden patio provides dining and space for outdoor grilling and conversation. There is a detached laundry room (shared with the front unit) with a bathroom. This unit also includes off-street parking for up to two cars. As is typical with many Santa Barbara homes, this property does not have AC. Open windows and the use of fans allow ocean breezes in to keep the house cool during hot summer months.
Take a bike ride or brisk stroll along the waterfront to the Santa Barbara Zoo, the East Beach volleyball courts, Stearns Wharf, and the Andree Clark Bird Refuge. Stop in Tri-County Produce Co., a locally owned, open-air market with an organic bounty, gourmet treats, and an incredible local wine collection. Seriously, there is no better place to call home while visiting Santa Barbara! Montecito is also just a five minute drive away.

Melanie, thank you so much for the enthusiastic review! We're thrilled to hear you loved East Beach Bungalow. We'd be happy to host you again anytime! -Lydia and the VROSB Team
Parking was not always available if others were in the drive. Esp with two groups trying to leave at 10. House was clean. Great location. Needs a wine opener.
We are a mature couple, former Santa Barbara residents, who spent the winter in this unit. We found it to be clean, comfortable and quiet. We loved that the beach was only 1/2 block away!

Hi Bonnie,
Thank you very much for your nice review. We are glad you enjoyed your time.
-Meagan VROSB
location good for us, attending a wedding at east beach by chromatic gate, and we could see the property from there. Parking generous, easily fit 3 cars. It’s a duplex and you can occasionally hear neighbors, but not bad. Grocery nearby not a far walk. About a mile walk to wharf area was ok if you’re in the mood for a longer stroll, otherwise a quick uber is easy.Overall comfortable. I slept in one of the twin beds - which in quality and size, was more suitable for kids., but doable. Portable fans in all bedrooms handy on warm nights.Fridge wasn’t working, I wish I had noticed that right away. but they were responsive once I called and got someone over to fix it quickly. One bathroom, but clean and spacious. Nice thick new towels. Water pressure so/so but that might be the area.Could have used washcloths, kleenex,and a non-slip mat for shower.

Dear Justine,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience at East Beach Bungalow. We’re so glad the location worked well for your visit, especially being able to see the property from the wedding at the Chromatic Gate! It’s great to hear that the parking was convenient for your group and that you enjoyed the walkability to local shops and the waterfront.
We appreciate your feedback on the twin bed and are glad it was still manageable for your stay. The portable fans are indeed a helpful touch on warmer Santa Barbara nights, and we’re happy they came in handy.
We do apologize for the issue with the refrigerator, and we’re grateful you reached out so we could resolve it promptly during your stay. We're also thankful for your suggestions regarding additional amenities like washcloths, Kleenex, and a non-slip shower mat, these are helpful notes that we’ll take into account to improve future guest experiences.
All in all, we’re pleased to hear that you found the bungalow comfortable and the bathroom clean and well-stocked with thick, new towels. We hope you had a lovely time celebrating, and we’d love the opportunity to host you again the next time you’re in Santa Barbara.
Warm regards,
Lydia & the Vacation Rentals of Santa Barbara Team
This place is amazing! The location could not be better with the beach literally across the street and freeway access a few blocks away. The pictures are exactly what the place looks like. The host, Lydia, was extremely helpful and patient while I navigated a slight payment issue. The house is well stocked and the beds are super comfy! The bathtub is AMAZING! We weren’t able to use the he back patio area due to weather, but I imagine in the sunshine it would be a great place to grill and hangout. I will definitely be back as soon as possible!! Highly recommend!
