Quiet oasis in Santa Barbara

This is our second stay at the property. The gardens in the back are perfect for our family to have quiet down time and a brief morning walk from the house to the beach was ideal. We will definitely stay again next visit.

Great for families with kids.

Great location, close to everything. We have two kids (3 and 7) and there was plenty to do at the house and in the vicinity. Great parks and playgrounds across the street. Safe neighborhood with families out and about playing. Well stocked house and kitchen. We cooked a lot of meals there and everything worked well. The only draw back was we all experienced some serious sinus congestion. We are sensitive to mold and we noticed some dark spots in the bedroom that could've been mold damage.

Excellent Location, Responsive Management

We stayed for a short girls weekend in SB. The location is excellent, a block away from the water, about a 30 minute walk to the funk zone and other shops/food. Quiet neighborhood. Responsive management. House is old though you could tell they have made fixes based off previous reviews. Nice gas fireplace. Would have benefited from knowing there were space heaters the first night. Overall, for the price was a fair stay.

Perfect location, great neighborhood, nice house

We really enjoyed the space. Loved the gas fireplace, big kitchen and private back yard area. The bedroom with the double bed was a bit dark, not much lighting, but comfy bed and plenty of space. Perfect spot half a block from the ocean, walk to coffee shops and pier. We would definitely stay there again.

Location? Great. Maintenance? Needs improvement

I’m going to start really making sure a house is well maintained before renting. This one has silly things - costing less than $100 to fix in many cases- that aren’t fixed. The water damage on the kitchen window shades? <$100. Toilet running? <100 for those kits at Home Depot. On and on. Toaster doesn’t work. Seriously? In a multi-million house? Shelf pulling away from wall in bathroom so we were scared to use it. Just a number of things to detract from a super cute house in a great location. I’ll scrutinize better next time.

Great place to stay when visiting Santa Barbara

This was an amazing place to stay and relax. The house has everything you need to spend time with family and/or friends. It is very well located, in a quiet neighborhood, just a few minutes walk from the beach, and not far from major tourist points in Santa Barbara. We would definitely recommend and come back again.

A few easy fixes would make this a 5-star property

The neighborhood is great - just a block from the beachside park - and the home is clean. The price, for the area, was a great deal. There are a few annoyances that keep me from rating this as 5 stars, though. 1. The toilets have a small sign that asks guests to please be sure the handle returns to a certain position. I guess this is to make sure that the water doesn't keep running, especially in an area where water is already an issue. Please just replace the toilets instead. If that's too much of an expense then the company shouldn't be in the vacation rental business. 2. A little instruction on how to use the gas stovetop would be nice. It isn't obvious and I used the fireplace lighter several times before finally figuring out that if you turn the knob all the way on, the electric lighter would activate. 3. While the outdoor area is generally nice and quite spacious, the random stones are mostly just a tripping hazard, so my 80-year-old mother wasn't able to enjoy that aspect of the house at all. 4. Hopefully they will fix the issues I did report to them in the master bathroom. None of these are dealbreakers for me, and I would stay here again.

Great Stay with Teenagers

I treated my teen cousins to a girls trip to Santa Barbara. This house was perfect. It was close to the beach and shops and the neighborhood was so nice and quiet. The only thing is it was a hot weekend so you may want to bring a portable fan for the kitchen and living room. There is no AC. There was funky smell coming from the garage and it permeated the house, so we just opened the windows to keep the breeze in the house. The patio is gorgeous.

Safety issues

I did not feel safe in this house. Every bedroom has a door to the patio, but some are not secured by proper locks. The biggest problem was the bedroom at the end of the patio. We could only use the twist lock on the doorknob and there was no light outside the door. There is a keyed deadbolt, but they do not provide a key and, in fact, it looks damaged from the outside. Overall, the house is kind of shabby: loose outlets, cobwebs in the skylights, some stains on the furniture. Overall, I will say it seemed fairly clean upon arrival (e.g. no grime in the sinks or showers), but did feel that our cleaning responsibilities were too numerous for the cleaning fee we paid. Finally, the location was great in terms of being near the beach and centrally located in SB, but there were a couple nearby houses that were pretty rough around the edges.

When Heaven Meets Earth

For the last five to six years I have always been told that if we were ever going to be in California my family should visit Santa Barbara. Looking at the listings on Vrbo I wanted a little bit of luxury but also close proximity to the beach. I was truly hoping the pictures online were as beautiful as it would be in person. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL HOME. Each of us had a seperate room/bed to sleep in, there cleanliness of the entire house was impeccable. My middle schooler had a wonderul time just melting into couches and reading the books in the front living room. It was true luxury and literally a block and a half from the beach; we heard the ocean ever morning and then took a quick walk to see it as well. AND THE BACKYARD... there is a hidden smaller backyard that has the most precious citrus trees and bushes. This is a home that looks and feels like a 5 star hotel. Very Very Very worth someone's time to rent.
