Hi Roseann, thank you so much for the feedback, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We will share your note with our team and we'd love to have you back again soon!
This well stocked home is in an incredibly convenient location for all that Santa Barbara has to offer. We rented the home for a business partner of my husband’s and his wife and son to stay while visiting/working in the area. They loved walking to Handlebar and getting groceries at Trader Joe’s. The house met their needs perfectly and having laundry on site was a great bonus for them. Jayla and her team are so responsive and helpful. They could not have been nice and easier to work with. I highly recommend this home.

The property was charming and exactly like described. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and were especially impressed by the property manager who responded quickly and completely to our few concerns--even delivering a brand new coffee maker when the existing one worked less than perfectly. A+ and Thank You!
