Fabulous, serene comfort near everything

This is a well-equipped and superbly maintained property that exceeded our expectations. It is scrupulously clean with comfortable beds. Importantly, it is walking distance to stores - and a tiny drive to Hendry's Beach and Boathouse restaurant. Worth every penny.

Great Beach House

We had a wonderful stay. The house was in a great location as we could walk to the beach, the Douglas preserve, and Mesa Center(Von’s, Starbucks, restaurants). The house was well stocked with amenities . The deck was nice to enjoy the Santa Barbara sun and the office was convenient to fit in some work as needed. We will return.

A slice of heaven

First of all, I love Santa Barbara. And this house was in a perfect location. Walking distance to everything. The Mesa trails are stunning and the house was comfortable, clean and amazing outdoor space. Highly recommend this property. And the property management company was very responsive and accommodating.

Great neighborhood and location

Positives- house really clean and comfortable Nice linens Great, walkable neighborhood Cons- cleaner showed up at 9:55 and stood outside waiting for us to leave at 10. A 10:00am checkout time is really hard to make work. 11am would be way better.

Thank you Therese. We are so happy you had a fabulous stay. We apologize the housekeeping company was there a little early. They do ride shares from other towns and try to be on time to make sure the home has a deep clean in between each guest and that our inspector has time to be by before each stay. The laundry alone takes them 4-5 hours and we wish we could have both earlier and later times for guests for sure! Hope to have you back soon. Much appreciated, Haller Coastal Homes

3 weeks wasn't long enough

I stayed here with my dog for 3 weeks. It was the perfect home for us. The enclosed yard was excellent for my dog and me. We loved the proximity to the Douglas Preserve and the beach just below the Preserve. The house is full of light.The home was very well equipped, very clean, comfortable furniture. The bed was very comfortable. The property management was extremely responsive. I notified them that the hot water heater was leaking. They were there in 5 minutes to see what was wrong and they had a brand new one installed in 3 hours!I would definitely stay here again,

Wij waren op familiebezoek en opgetogen dat we zo dichtbij zo een aangename woning mochten gebruiken. Alles was voorhanden. De woning was ruim met ruime tuin. We konden de wagen gemakkelijk parkeren. En op wandelafstand van de familie en het strand. Hier komen we zeker terug.

Santa Barbara Christmas

We stayed in this home from December 19th through Christmas day. My son and his wife are in the area for a traveling nurse assignment until February. This property worked great for our family of 6. The layout was roomy, especially the two tables and kitchen area. Very functional for games and meals. The long counter near the round table was perfect as a catch all for all the misc that everyone dropped! The beds were comfortable, the office room off the garage came in handy for my husband. He made good use of it for work phone calls away from the hubbub of the house. The kitchen looks small but is actually quite roomy how it opens to the double dining area. We made several dinners for the group without any trouble and had every kitchen utensil we needed. The large table with 8 chairs was perfect for all the game playing we did. (Only downside to that was the metal chairs were tough on our bums after awhile.) The triple sliders gave a nice feeling of openness to the home. I was a bit worried about 1 bathroom shared between my husband and I, my dad and his girlfriend, my 3 grown children and daughter-in-law but it worked just fine. The yard and deck are roomy. We didn't utilize because the weather was so-so but we did use the fire pit one evening and that was a nice touch. There were beach chairs in the garage for our use and we did use them the one nice beach day! The location was great for getting on 101. There is a grocery store not 5 minutes away as well as a drug store. We did not need to contact anyone during our stay so I can't speak to the level of responsiveness during our stay, but I can speak to the communication with Haller Coastal Homes before our stay. They were very responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend this property!

Perfect Weekend getaway

The Palisades Beach House was perfect for our family. The space is clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. You can walk to the beach from the house but I would say it's a bit too far if you have smaller children in tow. Overall it was fantastic!
