Should have been called The Sweat Lodge rather than The Beach House. No effective cooling. The place was old, the fittings in the ensuite made it difficult to have a warm shower, and the place was right next to the train line so very very noisy late into the night and restarting early in the morning. All pretty surprising to discover given the price point.

We reserved this rental 2.5 months in advance of our travel date, but the company altered our rental agreement just 5 days before our stay. This forced an earlier checkout than originally agreed upon and disrupted our travel logistics. On a positive note, the space itself was clean and roomy for two couples, and the property location was very convenient to State Street, the Funk Zone, and the beach.

Great second story home with a patio to enjoy the sunset. Close to the beach, wharf, marina, State Street and the Funk Zone. Comfortable beds and living space.

Thank you Lonn, it was a pleasure hosting your stay.
Perfect location and very nice condo for our girls weekend.
Our trip was wonderful and the condo provided everything we needed. It was clean, cozy and nicely decorated. The outdoor patio was private and the perfect spot for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Lastly, the neighborhood was very walkable and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this property to my friends and family.

We really appreciate your review Amy, it was lovely hosting your stay
Beautiful home, great location. House was clean, lots of amenities, very comfortable. Close to beach and downtown. Jeannine’s was great for breakfast. Just an FYI for our-of-towners—Santa Barbara is not sunny in June! They call it the June Gloom. It was chilly! Would stay in this house again!

We enjoyed the outdoor upstairs patio. Great place to sit and have a drink. Check in and out was easy. We were very happy with everything at Seabbatical. Would definitely rent again.

The location is vey convenient but that’s about it. The master bedroom had strong odor around the bed area. So much noise at night. Not clean overall. Delayed responses from property manager. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy our stay here.
