This house is absolutely beautiful. Went there with 5 adults and 3 kids. It was spacious and perfect. Loved how much room there was, the back yard and the play room with ping pong and darts. Very convenient to get to grocery store, beach and pier. I would definitely stay there again.

This home was beautiful and thoroughly enjoyable to stay in. It was especially great because we had three little ones under two years old and there was plenty of baby/toddler equipment and things for them to do. It was a great location just minutes from the beach, and there was plenty of everything in the house that you could want.Also, the owner next door could not have been more helpful and kind.Just two small things I would point out- the garage is full of great beach and sports equipment (yay!) but it doesn’t really accommodate 2 cars. So you can get 1 car in the garage, 1 car in front of the garage, then street parking.Also, there was no filtered drinking water available that I saw so we used bottled water. Otherwise, it was a great place for families who love the beach.

Amazing Santa Barbara getaway

This is such an incredible home. It comfortably held our family group and was a gorgeous place to stay. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked, and the view is spectacular. We loved soaking in the hot tub and also being able to walk to the beach. The amenities are incredible - from bikes to beach gear. We would love to come back. Highly recommend this property for your Santa Barbara stay.
