We enjoyed our stay at the Mykonos apartment in Santa Barbara! The location was perfect…within walking distance of great restaurants, beach, and transportation. The home was clean, well appointed and comfortable. We would definitely return!
We were visiting Santa Barbara for a wedding and this property was perfect for us! The location is great and very walkable to the funk zone as well as the beach. The property was beautiful and matched the pictures on the listing. Lastly, the communication was very prompt from the host which was always appreciated!
Beautiful, spacious, nicely furnished and decorated home in a great location within walking distance of downtown. Private, garage parking (with a dumb waiter to help with moving luggage upstairs) - outdoor areas to enjoy the weather - washer/dryer - fully equipped kitchen. Couldn’t have asked for better accommodations for our short stay in Santa Barbara.
Very nice. Bath tub drain didn’t hold water very well and the water heater didn’t support the tub bath. That was very disappointing, other than that it was perfect.
Beautiful, comfortable and walkable to all attractions
We loved this property. Specifically,the location as we were able to walk most everywhere we wanted to go. The views from the rooftop deck were stunning, especially at night. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms clean, modern and spacious. The tub in the master was a dream after a day of walking! There are several flights of stairs in this home. From bedroom area to main living area and again to deck. The only improvements we could suggest would be perhaps a redo on the bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths. They were definitely looking very worn.and discolored
we did have some issues communicating with the company when it came time to receive information on how to get inside this home. I had a lot of back-and-forth and still didn’t receive what I needed. Perhaps I was asking a bit too early, but we were actually on our way to Santa Barbara and still hadn’t received the information. Eventually, all worked out. We would definitely stay here again.
Property is very nice, with a secure garage below the two living levels. Location is great - close to the 101 for any traveling and a short walk to the beach and waterfront restaurants. We were very happy!
Had an amazing weekend, place was perfect for a family gathering. Large kitchen, table and living room, great place to hang out. Loved the spacious bedrooms, rooftop views and the beautiful courtyard. Location can’t be beat - we will be back!
The townhouse was really nice. Loved the roof deck, the water pressure was great, and we used the dumbwaiter a lot.

We were extremely happy with the house and all its amenities, The kitchen was great and the outside deck is a great place to entertain and eat local food that we cooked , very close to the best shopping and restaurants
Property was just as described. Walking distance to all things, Santa Barbara! Just two blocks from the beach, a short walking distance to Stearns wharf and also short walk to State Street. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again!

House and location are outstanding!
The house is well appointed with plenty of space for the four of us. We enjoyed our mornings on the rooftop deck taking in the views. Location was outstanding ... easy walk to the beach and to State Street.
-Lots of care and forethought put into equipping the house
-Immaculate and clean throughout
-Excellent hot water and pressure
-Comfortable beds and furniture
-Plenty of space for all
We have some private tips for the managers which will continue to perfect the place for future guests!
Working with Grand Luxury Rentals and the Property Management Company was a very pleasant and professional experience! I would absolutely return to this particular property!
We enjoyed our stay and this home very much! Townhouse was well appointed with all you would need in kitchen, towels, laundry detergent...etc. Great outdoor spaces with wonderful mountain views. We walked to breakfast and coffee each morning and loved being blocks from the water!

Close to the Beach
This was our first time using VRBO and we were very pleased with this property. It's very nicely appointed, spacious for a family of 4, and we enjoyed all of the decks and outside space. The proximity to the beach was great as we enjoy jumping on bikes and riding along the beach. We would definitely stay here again.
Our family really enjoyed this beautiful condo conveniently located near State St. We especially enjoyed the rooftop fireplace in the evenings. We most definitely want to stay here again. Just be aware that it is multiple levels so there are stairs.
