The house location to the beach and restaurants was perfect. My family of 9 stayed there comfortably and were able to cook, visit and share meals. The house was clean but the bathrooms were a little worn. I would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We’re delighted to hear that the location worked so well for your family and that the home provided a comfortable space to cook, gather, and enjoy your time together. We also appreciate your note about the bathrooms. While they are fully clean and functional, we understand they’re beginning to show some wear, and feedback like yours helps us prioritize future improvements. It is a very old building and while we wish it was up to your standards knowing where we fail helps us in the long run. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back anytime.

Note that if you rent this place you will be dealing with a management company. When you call the number they give you , an AI assistant talks to you. We had a simple question about the tv as there were no instructions on how to use it. The robot tried to connect me to a human but then said no one was available at that time. So they’ll leave a message. We never got a response after 2 days. Also just do you are aware, The place was nice but there is a communal shared washer and dryer attached to this cottage and on Sunday am the maids used it to wash the linens from the other units and it was quite noisy and shook the house some. We were awake and so headed out a bit earlier than planned that day. Lots of people checked out on Sunday but I would assume they could use it every day someone leaves the other units.

Great location, fun house to stay in. Everyone has their own room and bathroom. Too bad there were no waves while we were there but still had fun at the beach.

The house offered plenty of space for our family to be together for games and meals. It is an easy walk to the beach and not too far from downtown Santa Barbara.

Perfect location for groups, beach activities and shopping.

It is a perfect house for families or groups who love to hang out together, and a super location. Each bedroom with own bathroom is a major plus and the kitchen is huge and manageable for 10 people.

You’re paying for the location and the size of the house, but nothing else. It’s a very old house, which is completely fine, but it is quite literally falling apart. The furniture? Broken. Doors? Broken. Doorknobs coming out left and right, shower knobs falling out, stove pilot lights going out and then the place reeks of gas. The place can be old but it isn’t well maintained. Clean? Sure… but what does that matter when everything is broken?The money you spend on this house definitely does not go back into the guest experience. I would not recommend. I’m lucky the people I invited just thought it was “quirky” since we only stayed two nights but for how much I payed, it was utterly disappointing.

Lovely stay. Vintage decor with crisp white bedding & a cozy mattress. I can see how this would be an excellent place for multiple couples to stay. Great location!! Very thoughtful extension of plugs near nightstands. Only negative is bathrooms, which are in need of updating.

Perfect place!

This house was perfect for our family of ten’s three night stay! Spacious yet cozy with a wonderful front porch perfect for early morning coffee conversation. Great location two blocks from the beach. No need for air conditioning during our mid-June stay. If you like older houses with lots of character, this is the house for you!

Old Yacht Club Inn

The property is located within walking distance to beach and restaurant. For those of us into walking, the hike along Cabrillo Blvd. was spectacular to include Sterns pier and the harbor. The number of excellent restaurants and wine tasting businesses - and the perfect weather! - made our stay memorable.
