The room was larger than expected. Nice to have a full kitchen. The deck was awesome as well. Great location. Walk to beach, Wharf, Pier and the Funk Zone. If needed I would rent it again.

If you are looking for a place to stay in Santa Barbara that is near the wharf, State St and any other desire this is the place for you!! You will be less than 2 blocks from the ocean, you can even get a peek from the porch. State Street is an easy walk one street over. The space is unbelievable for a studio. Very large and open with a full kitchen and bathroom with shower. The whole upstairs with the two sided wrap around porch will be yours to enjoy! The porch was our favorite place for coffee in the morning and a cocktail in the evening after a full day of exploring Santa Barbara.Yes I would stay here again!!

A home away from home in a great location. The kind of place one wants to keep to oneself for future visits.....Note: please ignore any reference to 'Winery Experiences' - the studio has nothing to do with a winery; this is a glitch on the VRBO site
