This house was perfect and accommodated our large family of ten comfortably!! The kitchen was so spacious and with two living areas no one ever felt crowded! It was the perfect location to visit the beautiful sights of Santa Barbara, and it offered us the neighborhood we needed with two kids wanting to bike and walk safely! The pool and hot tub gave us some time for relaxation as well! The host had all the essentials at the house, and a list of nearby shopping and eating recs on the fridge!! When we come back to SB, we will definitely stay here again!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, which we called a mini family reunion. One of the main reasons we selected this house was because of the (4) bedrooms. It was important for every couple to have their own space. The pool and bbq setting were especially nice considering all family members enjoyed the pool. We took advantage of the bbq which was a nice option to eating out. The kitchen is especially large, which was nice for family members who enjoy hosting meals. A very convenient location, central to many visitor interests.The host was very approachable and answered questions quickly.

Good for extended family

My wife and I, our 2 daughters with their husbands, and our 4 grandchildren (ages 1-4) had a comfortable stay here. The pool was a bit chilly but not surprising for late October. The adults and kids enjoyed the hot tub and the kitchen was well-equipped for the few meals we prepared at the house. All of the places we visited were within a 20 minute drive from the house. If we ever return to Santa Barbara, we would happily stay here again.

A little tired

Roomy 4 bedroom with two family areas and pool. Landscaping was nice. It is a bit tired. Would benefit from painting, new carpet, and pool care for new guests. Deck and pool were full of leaves. There is a need for more towels/cloths. There were four of us and there were not enough wash clothes and towels. Master bath sink and shower were not clean. Built up grime in shower and sink around faucets. Owner had personal items in bathroom drawers including medications. Shared some of these concerns with owner but didn't want to spend my time emailing.

The place was cozy and spacious, with plenty of towels provided and well-thought-out amenities that made the stay comfortable. I especially enjoyed how close it was to lots of shops and restaurants. There was a brief power outage during my stay, but it didn’t last long and didn’t affect my overall experience. Would definitely recommend!
