Full of natural light and luxurious details, City Terrace is an ideal place to find your home away from home. This 2 bedroom, 1 bath condo is tucked away just off of the iconic State Street and is very accessible to all that Santa Barbara has to offer. It boasts a walking score of 82 and a bike score of 72\. City Terrace is where outdoor and indoor living seamlessly come together to create an oasis of relaxation and serenity. Cook a meal on the BBQ outside as you listen to the relaxing sound of the small fountain on the patio. Bask in the Santa Barbara sunshine on the plush outdoor seating (not pictured) or enjoy a meal al fresco at the bistro table. The remodeled kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need- from daily necessities to thoughtful additions, such as an espresso machine. Eat at the bar or enjoy a meal on either the indoor or outdoor dining tables. Curl up on the living room couch with a good book or to binge-watch your favorite new show. Ideal for those who work remote or just want a little extra space to work, there is a large built-in desk and shelving unit off of the living room. After work, enjoy a relaxing soak in the large tub in the remodeled bathroom. As is typical with many Santa Barbara homes, this property does not have AC. Open windows and the use of fans allow ocean breezes in to keep the house cool during hot summer months. When it is time to turn in for the night, you can rest easy on the comfortable Queen size bed in the Master bedroom. This room also features copious amounts of storage space for you to settle in to. The second bedroom has a full size bed with a twin trundle, perfect for kids or visiting family members.

Live comfortably and live well at City Terrace- the epitome of Santa Barbara living. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Internet access ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio - Terrace ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Concierge services - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city center - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the marina ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 932 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121320000/121312500/121312487/2c4b3872.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful Riviera Guest Suite in Private Forest, Conveniently Located Retreat Cielito - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-09&endDate=2026-02-10&selected=121312487&PinnedHotelID=121312487&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83530000/83520200/83520190/w3000h1996x0y1-734229fd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Impeccable Italian Villa Santa Barbara - Pool - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-09&endDate=2026-02-10&selected=83520190&PinnedHotelID=83520190&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119340000/119332200/119332107/472523ef.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Serene stay with gym, orchard, horses, bunnies, chickens and a pond in CARP!

Mar 1, 2022 #### Our month living on Islay City Terrace Mike, Lucky ( our sweet Malti-poo) and I enjoyed living in this most charming cottage. The accommodations were ideal for us. The rooms were spacious, clean, inviting, the patio is delightful with a beautiful fountain, and the neighbors were absolutely wonderful and welcoming. Most of all, the management could not have been more helpful and responsive to anything we needed or requested. We are in high praise of the VRBO SB staff, "K," Marci, Lydia-et al. They are all wonderful. ##### Mike N. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kimpton Everly Hotel Hollywood by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Kimpton-Everly-Hotel-Hollywood.h17524828.Hotel-Information) > > [Montrose at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Montrose-West-Hollywood.h17594.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollywood Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hollywood-Hotel-The-Hotel-Of-Hollywood.h12553.Hotel-Information) > > [Argonaut Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Argonaut-Hotel-A-Noble-House-Hotel.h915510.Hotel-Information) > > [WorldMark Indio](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-WorldMark-Indio.h1784055.Hotel-Information) > > [The Commerce Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Hotel-Los-Angeles-Commerce-Casino.h533227.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Escondido-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-The-Welk.h59916.Hotel-Information) > > [The Seabird Ocean Resort & Spa, Part of Destination Hotel by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Oceanside-Hotels-The-Seabird-Resort.h63871770.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin San Diego Bayview](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Westin-San-Diego-Downtown.h27516.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Jardin](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-Casa-Jardin.h93376470.Hotel-Information) > > [Element Anaheim Resort Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Element-Anaheim-Resort-Convention-Center.h37620004.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Californian](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-Hotel-Californian.h18374097.Hotel-Information) > > [Pixar Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Paradise-Pier-Hotel.h9503.Hotel-Information) > > [Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel ](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Sir-Francis-Drake-Hotel.h15254.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameo Beverly Hills, LXR Hotels & Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Cameo-Beverly-Hills.h14537.Hotel-Information) > > [San Ysidro Ranch](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-San-Ysidro-Ranch.h170437.Hotel-Information) > > [Coast Village Inn - Santa Barbara](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-Coast-Village-Inn-Santa-Barbara.h41065.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ziggy on Sunset](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hotel-Ziggy-Los-Angeles.h11087.Hotel-Information) > > [The Colony Palms Hotel and Bungalows - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Colony-Palms-Hotel-And-Bungalows.h1652438.Hotel-Information) > > [The Barnes San Francisco, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Villa-Florence-San-Francisco-On-Union-Square.h5425.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency San Francisco Downtown SOMA ](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-The-Park-Central-San-Francisco-Hyatt-Affiliated-Hotel.h491.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lum Hotel Los Angeles Stadium District](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Lum-Hotel-Los-Angeles-Stadium-District.h73661156.Hotel-Information) > > [STILE Downtown Los Angeles by Kasa](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-STILE-Downtown-Los-Angeles-By-Kasa.h6948120.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton Cathedral City Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Staybridge-Suites-Cathedral-City-Palm-Springs.h15178280.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Paseo, Autograph Collection by Marriott](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Hotel-Paseo.h19698333.Hotel-Information) > > [Hobbit Haven](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-Hobbit-Haven.h91134912.Hotel-Information) > > [The Beverly Hills Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Beverly-Hills-Hotel-Dorchester-Collection.h12057.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Caza.h38249309.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Delfina-Santa-Monica.h12942.Hotel-Information)
