Santa Barbara at its best

This peaceful, comfortable property was perfect for us. Plenty of space for our family, a well-appointed kitchen, comfortable beds, plenty of towels, just a quick walk to the beach, great outdoor spaces, and the most unbelievable views. The indoor/outdoor porch area with hot tub makes this place really special. 10/10 - would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful view.

It was so lovely to sit on the screened-in porch and watch the happy people of Santa Barbara stroll the path. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and the check-in and stay were seemless.

Perfect place for Santa Barbara

This house has one of the most amazing views of any property I have rented. In addition the garden in the back is delightful. Everything was very comfortable and well equipped. Zero complaints. Easy to work with the management. Fabulous location and easy to get around Santa Barbara from this place.

Incredible Views

The pictures of this older property don’t do it justice. It was a perfect little getaway, with comfy beds and amazing views from the large bay facing Florida room. While the home is a little dated, it felt nostalgic and warm. The kitchen was fully equipped and our weeklong stay was perfect.

Surfers Paradise Stay

This property has an incredible view in an incredible setting. The property is well-positioned with all amenities that would be needed for a homestay. It was extremely clean and set up well for our stay. We had a great time at this property. While the furniture is adequate and comfortable some recommendations would be to update the furniture, linens, and pillows. A good painting would be suggested. A Bluetooth speaker that could be used for music would also be a nice addition. Those are just recommendations and we had no complaints overall and truly enjoyed our stay.

60th bday getaway

Six long-time friends from Maui, Denver, Houston, San Francisco, and Tuscaloosa, AL met in Santa Barbara to celebrate the year we all turn 60. What a great house for our low-key celebration. The view is stunning and I enjoyed watching the sunrise every day (did not expect to see the sun RISE over the Pacific). After a leisurely breakfast on the lanai, we went our separate ways to enjoy the beach, go for a run, enjoy the hot tub, or do some shopping. In the evenings, after dinner out, we enjoyed cocktails and conversation until the wee hours. We took advantage of the walkability to enjoy restaurants along the beach or on the pier. Santa Barbara is a wonderful place and the house was as stunning and perfect as the pictures portrayed it to be. We especially appreciated the labels everywhere, so that we could access everything we needed without endless searching. Check in and check out were easy, parking was convenient, and beach access was great.

Very nice and comfortable house. We had 8, plus an infant and were very confortable. We did quite a bit of cooking and there was plenty of roo. For all of us to do our things. Bedrooms were all a decent size and beds were comfortable. Proprty was very clean and well decorated. We also enjoyed thhe hot tub.The view from the front patio was incredible. The back patio area was also extremely nice.The location was a short walk to the beach and other shoreline activities and businesses. It was also within a 10 minute drive of most Santa Barbara attractions. Would definitely book again if in the area.

Beautifully positioned home overlooking the ocean and led better beach very centrally located near downtown near Santa Barbara Junior College. It has all the amenities when could possibly need. The glass in veranda of a look at the ocean is exceptionally enjoyable.

Great Stay!

Property is as advertised - great location into downtown Santa Barbara (a nice walk or a very short drive), a well-serviced house (that had all the necessary 'stuff" for our stay, and solid (and timely) communication with the property manager ... with a view that's hard to beat! We all would go back in an instant for sure.
