Darling. Beach Bungalow

This is a very special quaint beach bungalow. You could not ask for a better location. The beach, Miramar hotel and lower village are all right there the house is clean and cozy. It gives the perfect beachy vibe for a beach vacation or just spending time in the area for an event like we did. Amber was a great and gracious host too!

Birthday staycation

Property was perfect and as described. Beautiful space very near the beach. We were able to grab breakfast on nearby coast village road and enjoy a nice morning walk along the beach after enjoying the beautiful outdoor space at this rental the night before. Loved it and highly recommend.

Family wedding in Santa Barbara

My family of five( all adults) stayed at this lovely house while we attended a family wedding. Very comfortable house- great outdoor area and a short walk to the beach and the Rosewood hotel. Amber was very easy to communicate with and was very accommodating - early check in etc and gave us some great tips for local dining. Would definitely come back!

Steps to Miramar Beach

The location can’t be beat! The beautiful property is just a block away from Miramar Beach and Rosewood resort and we enjoyed days on the sand. The house is perfect for a small family, with gorgeous decorating and magical outdoor spaces. Amber was wonderful to communicate with, answering all our questions quickly and thoroughly. We hope to return!

Awesome location…perfect beach house!

We loved our stay at Amber’s beach house. The location was amazing! My teenage children were able to go off on their own to the beach at the end of the road, to eat lunch at the Miramar and play some bocce, or walk down to Coast Village Road to shop. The beach chairs and big tire bikes were a perfect accessory. The outdoor space at the house was great as well. We ate all our meals outside and enjoyed the beautiful Santa Barbara weather. Amber was responsive with answering any questions we had. Overall it was a fantastic stay and the effect beach house for our beach getaway. Thank you Amber!!

Filthy + Disappointing

Four of us were meant to stay here for the weekend for a special event. When we arrived the beds were not made (as in someone had slept in them) and were not washed (you could see body imprints on the pillows and bedding. The bathroom and kitchen were filthy and there was trash in all of the trashcans. I promptly told the property management that we would not be staying at the property as all of the guest had had a long day of traveling before check-in. We instead booked a hotel at great expense so that we could end our long day. The management offered to clean the unit after our check-in time (in the dark, assuring a rushed job) and we opted to move on to the hotel. To top it all off, after a mistake on the managements end -- not cleaning and preparing the unit for our arrival, the management has the audacity to bill us for a night of the stay, though we did not stay at the property either night. When there is an agreed upon service and the agreement is not met, payment is not made. It is very simple.
