Location is more than excellent - especially if you want to in include walking/running/yoga and healthy eating. Location is across from any store you could need, great coffee and a beautiful supermarket. Easy to access main roads to take you anywhere Santa Barbara has to offer. We got to the funk zone, heart of downtown, the zoo & east beach in 10 minutes or less.

Wonderful place to stay. Clean and tidy. Great for two couples. Only small drawback was the location near the 711 can be noisy at night with the windows open.

Great location for family stay

We recently visited for our daughters lacrosse tournament in the area. The location was great, very convenient to restaurants and local shopping, and the beach was sub-5min drive. The house was as described, fit our family of four without any issues at all. Host was very accommodating, checking in and out was simple, and it had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely come back!

Such a cute townhome located in a neighborhood with everything at your fingertips - grocery, coffee, restaurants and the beaches down the way. Ebike station is 1 block away, we rented them twice. Ubers abound, no car needed. Good views from the cutest upper floor with French doors to patio. Dreamy beds. Beach supplies available. Thank you!

Santa Barbara stay

Spent 2 nights - property was perfect for what we needed. The 2nd bed is a bit small for 2 adults but as advertised. Having beach chairs and towels, cooler, etc. was great. Outdoor sitting area is surprisingly private considering the area the home is in. Everything you need is within walking distance. Perfect for us. 5 minutes to downtown waterfront and lots of great restaurants.
