Thank you! ##### Melina G. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Brett B. Oct 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Santa Barbara home This residence was a great place for my wife and I to stay for our trip to Santa Barbara. I would definitely rent this place again. The listing was very much correct and our expectations were met. With that said, there is sand in the hot tub, and the door lock in the master bedroom is broken so we slept with an unlocked door all weekend. I was also hoping to park in the garage as well. I’m not sure the listing mentions the inability to use the garage for parking or not. These things weren’t major issues, but wanted to share. Thanks for the great rental for the weekend! ##### Brett B.
