Mar 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful hideaway We loved our stay here. The location was fantastic. An easy walk to the beach. We rented bikes and were able to bike to the village and to Santa Barbara. This house is tucked away and the surrounding gardens make it feel very private. The house was very comfortable and spacious for our family of four. The kitchen was well-appointed and lovely to cook in. My only suggestion for improvement would be a few more sets of new bath towels. There were 2 fluffy white sets for the master bath, but the towels in the guest bath didn’t match the high-end finishes in this house. The beds and bed linens were so comfortable! ##### Erin S.
