Great Stay, Perfect Location

I have spent a lot of time in Santa Barbara over the years and have always wanted to stay in this neighborhood. Thew location could not be more convenient to downtown, the harbor, beaches, etc. The front patio is great for an afternoon glass of wine and the house has everything you need. All around a great house.

Birthday fun

The views from the living room window of this lovely home are fantastic! The Shoreline Park always had an activity going on that we loved watching! Everything from the mobile library with lots of small children and dogs to a tai chi class! Loved this location

Perfect location for a walk to the beach, to watch the sunrise AND sunset. We used the deck to drink our morning coffee, eat lunch and afternoon snacks. So many wonderful restaurants within a short drive.

Bungalow with beautiful views

A great classic California bungalow. The house was pristine, one of the cleanest VRBO's we have experienced. Location is perfect across from the park with access to the ocean 5 minutes away at 1000 steps beach. Beautiful views of the ocean and the mountains in the distance.

Awesome place - we will definitely rent again!

This was a perfect place to stay for our 3 day trip to Santa Barbara. Only negative to us was that the sun didn't come out much but that's Santa Barbara in the summer. We absolutely loved walking along the beach right across from the house. Walked down to Shoreline Cafe each day for breakfast or lunch. Overall perfect - just wish we had stayed all week. Thank you so much!

Funky retro home

Enjoyed this place. It’s dated but clean and was perfect for our mixed family of teens and adults. Great for morning walks and close enough to town if you like walking. Teens not so much. Hot tub was a hit. Loved the deck views & back yard vibe Would be perfect if there were bikes, corn hole and the June gloom didn’t exist.

Beautiful location, quiet neighborhood and loved the access to the park across the street with walking path. Easy walk up the street for coffee or groceries, and quick ride to downtown for food and shopping. The home was very clean, beds comfortable, and the outside spaces were perfect for relaxing and visiting. We hope to come back!
