We really enjoyed our stay! The home was chic, well appointed, and in a safe and quiet neighborhood. We walked to State Street each night for dinner and entertainment which was about a mile round trip. We will definitely be returning some day!
My husband and daughter were not too impressed when we drove up to our VRBO.But once we opened the door they changed their minds. The inside of the house was well appointed, comfortable and very convenient to restaurants and coffee shops.We enjoyed ourselves in this home and definitely would return.
We stayed here for a lacrosse tournament with our 2 teen daughters. It was a perfect location to walk to state street each day for a little food/shopping in our downtime. Loved the house- super clean, comfortable with all amenities needed. Area felt very safe as well- we walked at night and had no issues. Loved it!!
Loved the decor. It was a great location- only negative, the neighbors decided to play the drums for a while one day- NO reflection on the accommodations- I would stay here again
Nice location. Bathroom was good size. Neighbors above us were a bit noisy however and parking was difficult on Friday afternoon. We didn’t spend much time inside, but house was in a great location for walking into town, courthouse or a good bike ride to the harbor.
Two bedroom (both good sized) unit was roomy, clean, and close to central Santa Barbara. Everything was straightforward—check in, lights, heat, shower, appliances, etc. Not a single “How does this work“ moment. Amy was immediately responsive to all emails. Highly recommended
My dad and I attended my cousin's wedding. The location of the home was great. The only issues I had but did not affect our stay was that the door lock did not work when we were leaving and parking was a small issue. My dad can't walk that far and if parking wasn't available outside the front gate we had to work around that issue. But most of the time parking was available. Communication with the owner was great and the owner was responsive. We enjoyed our stay.
The property was as pictured and anticipated and well located for the Santa Barbara bowl. Some minor things would have been nice to have such as paper towels, salt, espresso (was mentioned in ad but not available, additional bath towels).
Overall we enjoyed our stay, the property and location!
Thank you!
Amy was very responsive and even allowed my family to have a late check out which was so appreciated. It was in a great location and close to State Street. Property does not sleep 5 but Amy allowed us to bring an air mattress. Property could be better equipped such as having paper towels or toaster in the kitchen.
We loved EVERYTHING about this place! The little loft was a perfect place for our 4th grade boys to enjoy while we came to complete their Mission Project and see Old Santa Barbara Mission. I brought my friend and her son (our boys go to school together). PERFECT EVERYTHING. I went to UCSB so I'm familiar with SB and surrounding areas so I was excited to see this was a PERFECT SPOT before booking you can't find a better spot. You can walk to everything and it's perfect. The pictures do not do this place JUSTICE. It is SO CUTIE! The decor, comfy beds, clean bathroom and cute little courtyard surrounding the house was perfect for morning coffee before we hit the mission and beach! The best beach (Leadbetter) is just a short drive away! Amy is very helpful and I can't wait book her place for another visit!
Thoroughly enjoyed this immaculate, airy and stylish home. Perfect size for our family of 4 adults , a baby and dog. Cathedral ceilings, well appointed kitchen and beautiful bathroom. Good sized bedrooms with comfy beds and bedding. The fenced in side yard and back garden area is convenient for pets. It was a little noisy at night ( the neighbors behind us were outside well beyond midnight on our 2nd night). The house has one fan and we brought a couple which solved the noise problem and provided nice circulation of air on warm days. We would definitely come back.
Cute little home in a convenient location. Dog friendly which was key to our getting away. Nice amenities, kitchen well equipped, king size bed in master very comfortable (sheets could be replaced).
Disappointed that we did not receive a "welcome" package/basket nor Information binder.
The outside patio was dirty and covered in leaves/debris (including the tables, chairs and hammock). Not ideal for relaxing.
The home was clean but furniture could use some updating (a broken chair, overhanging light over dining room table was not working.)
The property manager was helpful and provided useful information via text.

OK stay, but wouldn’t rent again
The home itself was a great size for my family of 4. The kids loved the loft area and I thought the beds were very comfortable. Check in was easy with a smart lock. Parking was mostly easy to find except on Sunday night for us. Need to check all the street sweeping and parking restriction signs. The check out process tells you to get all the sheets, towels, and bedding and start a load of laundry. I contacted the host about there not being any detergent and they said there should be some under the sink, but there wasn’t. I sent a follow up message and then asked if there were any paper towels or napkins, and didn’t receive any responses to the last 3-4 messages I sent. The floors were old and kinda dirty, I did not like to walk barefoot on them. We had some loud neighbors up til 2-3 am on Saturday/Sunday, but that isn’t the hosts fault. It’s not super close to downtown, so we figured it would be quieter. Overall, OK place but I wouldn’t rent again.

We had a wonderful stay - it was clean, quiet and close to downtown.
Great host and great location close to downtown Santa Barbara and the beach! We walked nearly the entire time we were there and rarely had to use a car. The Mission is also within walking distance to the house. Ideal location for families or couples visiting the area!
