Yard was large enough for the dog to stretch his legs. Bedrooms were large and each had own bathroom, so that was nice with 2 teens. Some road noise was the only thing I’d say was a”negative“ and with a white noise machine we barely noticed at night. ##### Jeff L. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandy S.

The location was perfect for all of our activities. BBQ worked great for us although the traffic noise prevented us from enjoying eating outside. Having a private bath in each bedroom was an added bonus as well as the use of all beach toys. Being able to park one of our cars in the garage was an unexpected perk. ##### Sandy S.

Plenty of space for our group of 8\. Property managers were responsive and check in and out was easy. Night time noise from the street was rather loud and the bedrooms did not have sound machines or tvs to drown it out. TVs in bedrooms would be a nice addition for visitors who would like to decompress in their rooms. Even with this, we would recommend and would stay here again! ##### Van C.

Staying in Carpenteria was a perfect location. Walking to the beach is not practical but it's only less than a five minute drive to Loon Point. We all appreciated having our own bedrooms and each having our own bathroom too. The layout of the house worked well and were comfortable relaxing in the home. All amenities were thoughtfully provided. The background noise of the 101 freeway took getting used to but does not outweigh the benefits of this lovely home. ##### Rebecca T.

It was very convenient to have all relatives attending the graduation in one house. With every room having an attached bath, it was easy to get ready. The beds were comfortable. The drive to Santa Barbara and Isla Vista is not bad and the price was reasonable. Owner was responsive and nice. Lots of amenities for the beach and a nice backyard. It is located on a busy street, but we used the shoulder to back onto the driveway, making it easier to get out. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Eugene G., Los Angeles Nov 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Nice large house The house is large and comfortable. The ev charger is a nice bonus. Kitchen is well stocked. The only downside is that it is right on the freeway and we could hear the cars at night. Not too loud but noticeable. The location is between carp and Summerland so you can’t easily walk to anything. 5 min drive. ##### Eugene G. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan M. Feb 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious and comfortable Our family really appreciated having so much space for our stay. We needed a place for two weeks with our dog and our kids, and everyone enjoyed it. My husband was able to work from the office desk downstairs, the dog enjoyed the backyard and beach nearby, and the kids enjoyed the big living room and tv. The laundry was convenient, the kitchen was well stocked with tools, and most importantly there was a bottle of wine :) The one room facing the freeway was a little louder at night than the others, although the kids did not care and we used sound machines. We’d definitely go back. ##### Megan M. Stayed 16 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam R.

My oldest daughter was getting married and we had two of our other daughters and two grandchildren with us. The 4 bathrooms came in handy when getting ready. The house was equipped with more than expected with cooking and service utensils and serving platers and bowls. Lots of little extras such as popcorn, hot chocolate and tea. We enjoyed our stay had plenty of room and the house seemed as we were in our own home. Thank you Leo and Tia Blickley we had a spectacular 4 days. ##### Adam R.

Jun 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Fun We so enjoyed this lovely home with four bedrooms and a bathroom for every room. It was so easy to reach the owners with a couple of questions, who themselves happened to be in Hawaii babysitting their grandchildren. I only have a couple of suggestions for safety and comfort. The futon in the downstairs bedroom needed to have a comfortable topping for the mattress because futons notoriously are pretty uncomfortable to sleep on. The other thing for safety would be gripper strips or rubber pads in the tubs as they were very slippery and had no safety bars to hang on to.( I am an older adult, so this was important). We had an absolutely amazing fun time with our family and thank the owners very much for sharing their home with us! Oh, – – – we also saw our first polo match which happened to be a final, and was less than a mile away. So much fun!! ##### carolyn h. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tanveer S. Jan 11, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Leaves much to desire We stayed 4 days and 4 nights at this place, costing 3K. The place was reasonably clean but the carpets had stains and the walls too. The place definitely can use a fresh coat of paint. Fixtures, furniture, linens, towels and everything else is very dated and average at best. The kitchen was not well stocked - no ziplock bags or Saran Wrap or Aluminum foil. We had to get coffee, sugar. There were left over cookies and tea bags from who knows when in the kitchen cabinets. One set of place mats was old and warped. The trash bins in the bathroom were without liners. The front and back yards were nicely landscaped and pretty ##### Tanveer S. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Thomas A. Dec 30, 2023 Liked: Check-in, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### handy location, reasonable comfort, but cleanliness issues Reasonable place for 6-7 people close to Santa Barbara/Carpinteria LOCATION: on higher speed arterial behind a freeway not great for aesthetics, but it is easy to access for car/bike outings, while not great for walking. Freeway noise is tolerable. The rooms are convenient, including main floor bedroom w/ futon for avoiding stairs. VIBE/SETUP: functional & pleasant enough but not going for a "destination" feel. While mostly "as advertised" a few thing were not quite accurate/inadequate: utensils/flatware/dinnerware were spartan in places (few flatware items – needed to hand wash before using dishwasher), missing scraper/spent spatulas/etc, no garlic press, tho specialty items like mixer were there. We had to buy foil, saran wrap, etc.. The master suite was described as having a "Jacuzzi tub". It was neither Jacuzzi brand nor jetted. CLEANLINESS: weakest point. Sheets/comforters visibly soiled in downstairs bedroom - we had to wash. Similarly, we had to hand wash numerous few plates/utensils ourselves. Insides of bdrm drawers were dusty, so we spent some time dusting things so that we could put our clothes in the drawer and not have them get dirty. Wall-to-wall carpeting upstairs is "tired". Bathrooms not all stocked w/ TP but we found from other places. We should have asked for a break in cleaning fee. OTHER: providing charging, beach toys, basic bikes = nice. Correspondence w owners good at times, but not responded to at others (e.g. when alerted to cleanliness issues). ##### Thomas A. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Z.
