Perfect place to stay for a weekend wedding

We very much enjoyed the house! Very convenient location, close to downtown and a short drive to the beach. Plenty space inside and outside for group meals, we absolutely loved the deck and enjoyed the landscape and sittings of deer + coyotes. Thank you for hosting our group!

Great location

The property has a great location looking over the city and the ocean. We enjoyed the deck chairs on the large deck and the fully stocked kitchen. The location was so very quiet and we enjoyed seeing deer daily across the canyon. We would definitely return to this house.

Peaceful Santa Barbara Hills

Our Riveria Canyon visit was comfortable and relaxing, yet only a short drive from State St. The house is very well equipped and has many thoughtful touches … outdoor seating areas, plenty of kitchen amenities as well as beach items, books and games. I highly recommend this property and hope to return again soon.

Especially If You Cook!

We enjoyed our stay so much! Everything is neat and clean and operational, far beyond the online description. One excellent example (and all other aspects of the home follow this general concept) are its facilities for cooking.

Relaxing space with great views

We loved our stay. The view is beautiful with lots of birds and wildlife to watch. It's a quiet home with plenty of space to spread out. The furniture is slightly dated in the living room but it's all very comfortable and cozy. We enjoyed having a fire in the evenings and enjoying the deck in the mornings. We had a fire alarm chirping one morning and it was fixed within a few hours. Definitely recommend!

Great house for a group

Five friends: two couples and one w/o partner. The house is very spacious and amazingly equipped- we had everything we wanted/ needed - even cooked a big meal and had it all. The view from the deck is amazing. The only con ware the beds... The king bed is very very firm. One of the queen beds was very firm and lumpy... Otherwise- great house

Family Wedding

This trip was a Godsend and the VRBO property did not let us down. The main reason for our getaway was for family to stay together while celebrating our sons wedding. Three couples stayed at this beautiful hillside home. The home had plenty of room for the group to play board games together or to find a quiet place to sit and read. There was no shortage of kitchen equipment - more gadgets than I have in my own home. The house,was gorgeous, the views spectacular and the time together priceless.

Quiet, clean, spacious and comfy

Riviera Canyon turned out to be the perfect place for our Santa Barbara stay. With lovely views, very comfy furniture and a great kitchen, Riviera Canyon was the ideal location to celebrate my father's 90th birthday in style. The ride up the hill to the property was a bit precarious, with its winding twists and turns, but it was a beautiful drive through a gorgeous neighborhood, and the view from the property made the drive more than worthwhile. We enjoyed watching deer graze on the hillside opposite the deck area, and the view of the city lights at night were impressive. We enjoyed the spacious floor plan and quiet setting, and we would definitely want to stay at Riviera Canyon again in the future.

Great getaway location

Very Spacious! My Family felt like we were relaxing amongst the clouds. The home is located on a hill and the drive upward can be a taxing so make sure you have what you need to prevent unwanted trips. Bedrooms and couches are very comfortable...living areas and kitchens were spacious enough for a family of eight. There was no functional washer on site and the thermostat did quit working so the mornings were chillier than desired. Maintenance was quick to respond when called upon. The home could use some attention in terms of foundation as the master bedroom has a noticeable slope and the deck railings are leaning. Other than those issues the home provided awesome views and great memories.
