Ocean, Sunset, Mountain Views, Private Deck: Villa Floresco: Tuscan-like getaway
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (92)
"My husband and 8 month old stayed here for several nights during our wedding wedding. It was everything we could have asked for and more. The VIEW is spectacular, I mean really incredible. You feel like you're whisked away to an Italian countryside. The unit itself is very private and has all the amenities you'd need. The bed IS SO COMFY (we even checked the mattress type so we could get something similar). And the décor is flawless. Loved the high ceilings, as well. Everything is actually...

"This was our second stay here. It is close to the beach. Our dog loves it. Only downside is some traffic noise, but we think the trade off of being blocks from the beach is well worth it."

Pristine Santa Barbara Apartment with Hot Tub and Mountain and Ocean Views
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (76)
"My friends and I stayed at this apartment for the weekend, and we had a wonderful time. The apartment was very clean and looked like the pictures in the listing. The views are amazing, and it's a very short drive to the main strip of restaurants and shopping areas. It was exactly what we wanted and expected. The property manager seems very chill and reasonable too. No complaints!"

NEW to the Market – Sweet Summerland Sail – 1 BD – Walk to Beach, Restaurants, and Shops!
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1)
"Was a cute stay. Apartment is small but was plenty of room for us. There is a nice outdoor seating are and ping pong table. Small coffee shop across the street as well. There is currently construction during the day out front which would have been helpful to know. The area will be beautiful once the construction is done. Would also be helpful to have a curtain over the open window in the bathroom since it looks out into an area people pass by. We would stay here again if in the area."

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (11)
"The place was as described. Unfortunately we got some unusual cold and wet weather and given that this is really a beach stay, we didn't get to take advantage of everything. If you are a light sleeper, you may want to opt for an upstairs unit - floors are very thin and you can hear everything. Super easy check in and check out and really nice and clean."
