The property was clean, had excellent furnishings and amenities, and was in a perfect location just a few blocks from the beach, restaurants and stores. Communication with the owners was quick and effortless. One of the top VRBO experiences we’ve ever had.
The property was clean, beautiful, well-stocked and in a great location for walking to all the sights. The parking spot was nice to have also. We enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back and will stay here again as well as tell our friends about it.
Stayed 4 nights visiting friends in SB. Very comfortable and clean. Good location - the apartment is a short walk to the beach, wharf and the Funk Zone. The off street parking was a plus.
We loved our weekend at this property. It was walking distance to the beach & to many restaurants and shopping. The outside patio space was so nice to have. When we had questions, management answered right away. We would definitely stay here again.
Perfect for our short stay in Santa Barbara! Close enough to walk everywhere we wanted.
Loved the small outdoor sitting areas, espresso, tvs, nice shower pressure, comfortable beds and even a pull-out couch. We loved eating at Toma's, Finney's, Brophy Bros and lunch tacos at Mony's.
Beautiful property, walking distance to beach and almost everywhere.
Comfortable, well furnished, great private outdoor spaces for both children and adults.
Easy Communication with on-site property manager and responsive when needed.
Communication with Host also easy and responsive.
Book it, you will love it.
We loved our stay here. We always stay in West Beach when we come to Santa Barbara and found this property to be perfect. It was easy to get in and out, the place was spotless, had what we needed to cook a couple of meals and was generally quiet and comfortable. The outdoor patio areas were lovely and my husband set up his “office” on the patio with the umbrella table. It was so peaceful and even though he had to work some, he still felt like he was on vacation. It was very easy to walk to the beach, loads of restaurants, State Street and of course, The Funk Zone. We would definitely stay here again.
Our stay was better than expected and I had high expectations! The owners had everything we needed including a pack-n-play, beach towels, beach chairs, hair dryer, shampoo/conditioner/soap, etc. The kitchen was so well stocked with everything you would need for an elaborate meal. The living room was larger than pictured too. The courtyard, the largest on the property I think, was wonderful for my 8 and 2 YO to play in the mornings and after the beach. We had a perfect Californian vacation in this property!
It's a beautiful well maintained home, with plenty of privacy and a lovely outside dining patio. The specific parking spot was appreciated.
We had a challenge with the tv...trying to use our netflix and prime accounts. Some written instructions could be helpful.
Thanks!
