Whether seeking tranquility or excitement, this prime location ensures a memorable getaway you'll want to relive again and again. Our building is fully licensed for short-term rentals and located within the Santa Barbara Coastal Zone, where stays under 30 days are allowed.

From the time we stepped into the gate from the outside we were charmed with the vibrant colors and decor. The doors were a beautiful portal into what became my girlfriend and I’s oasis of a getaway that we needed. The accommodations were very nice, the bed was so comfortable and everything is literally 16 - 20 minute walk away. We never once used our car to explore due to the central location of this beautiful little paradise. We will definitely be using this gorgeous escape again in the future!

Aug 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Very pleasant vacation rental Very nice apartment in charming updated older building. Easy walking distance to the beach and lower State Street. Great kitchen and luxurious bathroom. Reasonably quiet, given the location. Private reserved off-street parking was very convenient. Landscaping and balcony were nice. Just a few minor problems: very noticeable sound when toilet flushed in unit above us, clothes dryer didn't work properly (may have been fixed since then), and the couch has a faint musty smell. And a tip: unit can get very hot during the day, and there's no air conditioning (which is not unusual for Santa Barbara). Keeping the curtains and blinds closed when the sun was on the windows helped a lot. ##### Daniel H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard T. Sep 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our week in Santa Barbara The units are wonderfully maintained. They are in a very nice location. Looking out of the window, you can only see green trees. And yet it is within walking distance of a nearby supermarket, Mexican restaurants and a 7/11\. If you walk about one block east on Yanoli, you reach train station and downtown. There were two problems. The TV controls are difficult to use with no written instructions. The other issue is that the coffee maker in the kitchen is the type with the small pods that only makes Espresso type coffees not Keurig and for coffee addicts it was a difficult day until we found the drip coffee maker hidden in a closet. One other issue, if you come here at night, you may miss the entrance. Never figured out how to get to our unit from the Bath Street Entrance. However, the entrances on Yanoli work fine. There should be clearer instruction on that. Overall ratings. Excellent place. We'd hope to come back again to the same place and hopefully the same unit and will bring our own coffee maker with us! ##### Richard T.
