Outstanding stay!

We stayed here for my daughter's graduation weekend. The place was perfect. Lots of seating in living area, comfortable bedrooms and cool ambiance. Everything was easy from check in to included amenities. We relaxed on the balcony often, looking at the beautiful ocean and enjoying the sound of the surf. Restaurants are within walking distance. I would highly recommend.

Santa Barbara retreat.

You can’t beat the location or the view. The condo itself needs a deep clean. The rooftop is wonderful. There is a BBQ up there which was not listed as an amenity.

Living furniture was disappointing - seemed a bit worn. No coffee pot but on-site manager supplied one ASAP. Beautiful view and great central location to explore Santa Barbara. Washer & dryer were clean and functional but not in unit.

Perfect Place from which to enjoy Santa Barbara

Our group was 4 college friends enjoying a girls' weekend to celebrate a milestone birthday. The location was great. We had a view of the water from our balcony, and stairs at the edge of the building took us to the crosswalk to the beach. The rooftop space had even better views, comfortable furniture, and a firepit. A short walk beyond the beach was a harbor with a few restaurants including a nice place for coffee and pastries. The complex is older but well maintained and very well landscaped. We could watch hummingbirds feeding from the many flowering plants. The condo had very comfortable bedding with lots of extra towels, blankets, and sheets. Sleeping with the windows open and the sound of the waves was divine. The kitchen was well appointed including a Nespresso maker and a variety of pods. We really appreciated how thoughtfully outfitted this property is.

The ocean view is spectacular. The end unit has windows on 3 sides that allows for exceptional views and nice air flow. The check in was very clear with detailed instructions sent in advance. Ground level unit has a close by parking spot so unloading and loading car was very easy. The unit was very clean and comfortable. It was stocked with almost every household item that you need. The only item that we would have liked is a K-cup coffee maker. The Mr. Coffee style maker provided wasn’t the best. There are no coffee shops nearby and it would have been nice to make a decent cup of coffee early in the morning. We brought our small dog and there is a small green patch for dogs close to our unit. The building is well maintained, clean and quiet. We had a very enjoyable and memorable stay!
