Post-Covid escape

We had not visited S. California since 2019 and wanted a relaxing escape in Santa Barbara. La Paloma was everything we wanted and more. Fantastic location and amenities.

Fantastic Santa Barbara Property

We really enjoyed our stay here. The home was upscale, well appointed, and in excellent condition. The management made sure the home was stocked with everything we needed. It is close to State street, has beautiful views, and very private. Would highly recommend! Cheers!

Great place great experience

What an amazing and beautiful place. Ocean views and great outdoor spaces. It was only two of us staying at the house but was very well laid out and had everything we needed. The management company was so great to work with as well and very responsive. You won’t be disappointed and will be an experience to remember.

Santa Barbara Escape

Everything was wonderful but 2 suggestions, first is to have an Android Streaming Device for non Apple users and second is to convert your fireplace to either gas or electric so that they can be enjoyed.

Beautiful house on the hill!!!

Gorgeous property surrounded by beautiful trees and landscaping. Gorgeous outside patio area even though it was raining and we truly couldn’t enjoy it - it was beautiful to look at. Master bedroom bed was SO comfy and they had all the amenities you could possibly want. Will definitely rent again!

Nice with Some Flaws

The house was beautiful and very private on a very large parcel. It was nicely furnished and well equipped. There were only two flaws: The AC had been shut off by the owner and most of the sliding windows would not open, so while the nights were cool enough, they couldn’t be accessed from either bedroom, so sleeping was stuffy; and the French doors leading to the back patio from the living room would not close (because the overlapping wood strip on the inside door was too long to clear the threshold) or, therefore, lock.
