About this property

East Beach Great Studio

Our East beach studio is sweet and comfortable. It is perfect for 1 or 2 adults. The location is ideal, just 2 minutes walking to the beach. It is a very large and sunny studio and has a separate fully stocked kitchen with dining space, large room with Queen bed, awesome TV, separate vanity area, full bathroom with shower/tub and huge walk in closet. We have an outdoor patio around the back that has a BBQ and table and very nice place to relax and enjoy a meal. Its such a nice studio, its a great retreat after a long day enjoying the city! We have everything you need in the neighborhood, you don't even need a car! We have a local market on the corner, the SB Inn across the street that serves food all day, and bike rentals on the next block. The price is right and the location perfect; come see for yourself! The Santa Barbara Airbus has its SB pick up and drop off a block away at the Hyatt, and it is the perfect way to arrive from LAX- its a 3 minute walk and the Airbus is comfortable and affordable. Its a very safe neighborhood and best place to be in Santa Barbara!

Great location. Walkable to the beach. The parking was easy - there were always one or two parking spots available on the street. Surprisingly quiet - we didn’t hear any neighbors at all and hardly any traffic. The stairs didn’t bother us, but be aware there are 22 steps with no landing - something to keep in mind if anyone in your group has mobility issues.As for the space itself, VRBOs tend to fall into two categories, and knowing which you prefer can make all the difference. Some are sleek and minimalist, with only the essentials, and everything matching. Others feel like a well-loved home away from home, stocked with all the little extras previous guests have left behind, a full collection of mismatched mugs and towels, every kitchen tool you could need, random cooking ingredients, and cozy lived-in touches throughout. This property is the second type. If you appreciate character over polish and would rather have too much than too little, this one's for you.

Lovely stay, easy location

Clean and cozy home, walking distance to the beach, beautiful walks, a grocery store, and a few restaurants. We had our four year old with us and he enjoyed the playground on the beach as well. Jami is a lovely host, we appreciated her responsiveness when we had questions and her friendliness. Will stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay at this comfy little studio. It was clean, cozy and super convenient. I appreciate that the place is cleaned with nontoxic cleaning supplies and it smells so fresh and clean. The best beaches were a hop, skip and a jump away. The area is unbeatable. The best part was how friendly and responsive Jami was. She is wonderful!

This property was just as described and is just a corner turn from the beach. The area is quiet and seemed safe. The owner of the property is highly responsive and helpful with amazing recommendations about things to do/places to eat in the area. I will be returning.

Great weekend stay

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Gina was very accommodating when we had some last minute travel issues, everything was very clean and the location is amazing! There’s a playground on the beach about a 5 minute walk away, and you can easily get to the bike path and walk to the Funk Zone (it’s about a mile). We would definitely stay again and highly recommend this property!

Highlights:Great location (it really is close to the beach). Parking was never an issue either. The building was nice and quiet as well. The host was very responsive and communicative, and all of the information and directions were very clear. The kitchen dishware and utensils were helpful, and it was great that beach chairs and an umbrella were provided.Concerns:The carpet in the unit seemed stained and dirty, and the bed sheets smelled musty, which took some getting used to on the first night.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Jul 2025
I have enjoyed my 12 years plus of Property Managing here at Mariposa, and have met some fantastic people! Up until 2020, when Covid began, I was also practicing as an Associate Marriage, Family Therapist. Human behavior fascinates me! I was surprised when I read Max’s review! The only time any guest have spilled on the carpet in this studio was a few years back, a young Women dropped her mimosa on the carpet. Since then, I have adopted a Hawaiian style no shoes inside the house and that one needs to be at least 25 years old to rent the space. Most guests are respectful of the ‘no shoes inside’ policy and we strive to keep carpet as clean as possible. After I read Max’s review, I went to personally inspect the carpets and they were just fine! I did note that after his stay, the tablecloth had been spilled on and basically destroyed! He had given me at the outset of his stay, He and his Girlfriend’s phone numbers, and I had given him mine, so I wonder why he didn’t contact me if he had an issue! I have spare sheets and linens inside the unit as well as a complimentary washer and dryer downstairs on the patio. I wonder if the review was a projection since he stained our tablecloth? His Girlfriend left her nightgown behind in the sheets, and I reached out to see if he wanted me to send it to him, but he didn’t respond. So it’s a little perplexing, but everyone is entitled to their opinion! I wanted to assure all future guests, I invite communication for a perfect stay!

East Beach

We loved our VACAY in Santa Barbara. East Beach is just beautiful. Jami is a delightful hostess and even baked us a yummy banana bread. The location is super convenient, just across the street from the beach, an easy walk to the pier and downtown. The beach chairs and umbrella were a plus.
