This impeccably maintained and decorated home is everything it promises to be: spotlessly clean, an easy drive to the beach, and a short walk to grocery stores, coffee shops, and restaurants. We found the home ideal for our family of 6 adults and 1 child, and would not hesitate to book it again for our next trip to Santa Barbara.

This was a fantastic place to stay for a weekend in Santa Barbara. The location is in a cul-de-sac but can see the water. Groceries and restaurants are nearby. The real winner, though, was the property itself. The interior is gorgeous (a friend was taking pictures for their own home inspo!) and the backyard was perfect to hang out and chat, complete with firepit. We'd love to come back.
