This place is as advertised from the pictures. It is a great location near the beach in a very friendly part of town. Our host quickly answered a few questions we had but everything else was very straightforward and we had a great stay!
Clean home. Good amenities. Responsive host. The only issue was wi-fi & internet wasn't functioning. The host tried her best to help, but it wasn't a huge issue for us.

Didn't realize that the modem was faulty - we've had it replaced.
We loved the location---easy walk to ocean and shops/restaurants! Well equipped for eating, sleeping comfortably, and heading to the beach! Wonderfully communicative host with easy access and parking. Would absolutely stay again!
Property is as advertised but you need to do some exploring to figure everything out. The instructions are clear but some of the stuff is counterintuitive . It works if you stay with it. The owner is very responsive to any problems and makes sure they get resolved.
Emily's condo is charming, very well-equipped, clean, nicely furnished. We loved being so close to the beach! Communication with Emily was very easy. All in all, this was one of our nicest VRBO stays.
This property is one block from the beach a beautiful beach. It was clean, comfortable had everything that we needed. It was very easy to communicate about the property and we loved it.
It was in a perfect location. Just one block from the beach and walkable to great restaurants. Minutes from Santa Barbara. Will need to bring your own shower soap. Would stay again.

I'm sorry you had no shower soap - I do provide it so it must have been an oversight by the cleaners. Glad you enjoyed your stay!
The cleaners said it was there under the sink.
We come to this lovely town and gather with extended family every year. We have stayed in many different places over the years and this condo was by far our favorite. Location, cleanliness, lovely host communication, you name it, it was superb
Second time staying at this condo, this time for a month. The condo was immaculate. Very comfortable. Had everything we needed. Fantastic location. Two blocks from the beach and an easy walk to lots of stores and restaurants. Can’t wait to stay here again!
