Incredible stay from start to finish. The grounds were beautiful, and we were welcomed with a thoughtful bottle of bubbly waiting for us. The location was perfect-just a short drive to everything we wanted to do and easily walkable to so much, including the beach. It was also very family-friendly and worked out wonderfully for our young family with toddlers. We will be back, thank you!
Great location, great layout and plenty of enclosed outdoor space. Easy access from parking. High quality furnishings and appliances. Definitely hope to visit again.
Would absolutely stay in this house again! Loved being able to walk all the places we wanted to go. Host was always available and made check-in and out super easy.
Comfortable & well-appointed home in a convenient neighborhood right in the Funk Zone—walkable to restaurants, tasting rooms, shops, and the beach. Great location, great stay. We’d definitely come back!
This is a beautiful unit in a gorgeous, well maintained large home. The location is perfect, walking distance to downtown and the beach. The home is clean, well stocked with everything you need, nicely updated appliances, and the beds are comfortable.
Very nicely kept property inside and out. Plenty of outdoor seating and tables, very comfortable inside with all amenities.
Location perfect for shopping, eating and beach.

Why they chose this property
There are so many Santa Barbara properties available for rent. The number one difference between all of them are location, location, location. The closer to the beach and the closer to Santa Barbara the more expensive the real estate. We are 2 blocks to the beach and downtown, not on a commercial thorough fare, not next to the highway or railroad track and not a bus ride or car ride away from downtown. We combine our location with the best pricing and the best amenities. Finally, we are immaculately clean.
