The pictures on the Vrbo site are an accurate depiction of the interior. "What you see is what you get". It was beautifully decorated with a seashore theme. Very clean and quite comfortable for the four of us. I also just have to add the bath towels were very fluffy - felt like a 5 star hotel. We have used Vrbo properties in the past for our vacations and this by far was the best. The location to downtown Santa Barbara was great! Very walkable to shops and restaurants as well as a full grocery store less than a block away. We enjoyed the outdoor space and took advantage of the fire table for a relaxing dinner around it.

Santa Barbara getaway

Fantastic place!! The house was clean, well appointed with everything we needed and in a great location. Josef was an excellent host, easy to get ahold of and friendly. He gave an early checkin without us even asking. I would highly recommend this place and will use it again if I’m in Santa Barbara.

Lovely property, great location

We loved our stay. We visited with our adult son, so the two bedrooms both with en-suite bathrooms were perfect! The house is lovely, clean, modern and well appointed in great location. Short walk to downtown. Check in and out was easy. Convenient parking in lot across the road. We enjoyed the barbecue and fire pit. Would love to go back. Highly recommend!

Beautiful house

This is such a pretty house equipped with everything you could need for your stay, particularly appreciated the very generous welcome basket of goodies which was left for us when we arrived, just what you need after a long journey. Comfy beds and the property is nice and close to restaurants and shops so a handy location. Communication with the host was excellent.

Family visit

This property was top notch! The house and outside accommodations were the best. The kitchen was large enough for all to 'hang out' and enjoy cocktails and appetizers. The outside seating and fire pit were great in the evening. This is a 'must stay' place to go to when in Santa Barbara. It is a few blocks off of State Street that offers lots of dining options and shopping. We will keep this VRBO in mind for the next visit, since we have family in Santa Barbara.

Perfect little hideaway in the heart of downtown SB!

We had the best stay at Casa Figueroa. Parking and check in were extremely easy, and the house itself is adorable, meticulously clean, and beds were comfortable. An adorable basket of goodies at check in as well! We had one minor issue with laundry and Josef was extremely apologetic and helped us find a quick solution. The location is incredible - minutes from everything and walkable to boot. We will absolutely stay at Josef’s place again next time we are back in Santa Barbara!

Convenient to everything

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is such an easy walk to downtown and grocery store. Great front porch to start with coffee. The beds are very comfortable and big fluffy towels. The kitchen has everything you need. It is very spacious. The living room has very comfortable couches. There is even a small outdoor space with a fire pit table. We would highly recommend this place. Great value.

Great place!

It was an amazing home in a great location and beautifully appointed. They even had a basket with wine and a few snacks. I haven’t seen that in quite a while. The only negative, which is truly minor, is there was no ice maker, and no ice trays to make ice. It is just nice to have the option. Enjoy your stay, as I truly enjoyed the home.

Hidden Gem

Enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Well appointed. Kitchen had many tools for cooking as well as extra mini appliances: toaster oven, ninja blender with many accessories. BBQ available as well as table top fireplace in patio area. Walking distance to state st. We were two couples and we felt very uncomfortable. We will stay here again. Thanks Josef

Cozy and close to all the stuff!

Our stay was just lovely. The house is cozy and super clean and has all the stuff you need for a few days. The best part is it’s literally a block or two away from anything you need… Restaurants, coffee, shopping, theaters, or whatever you’re into in downtown State Street area. The decor is a beachy coastal, everything is nice and light and bright. Josef the owner was very attentive and checked in with us, and left us a lovely welcome basket with wine and cookies and snacks, along with the parking pass you need for parking across the street. Although, no parking, there is a small parking lot across the street and it is safe. We were there for a wedding, and we were able to walk to the courthouse, and also to the nearby Inn where the reception was. Great location.

Beautiful Place

The house was beautiful and clean. There was a nice backyard patio with a propane fireplace and many beautiful plants and a gorgeous palm tree.it was a nice place to have morning coffee. The location was convenient and in walking distance to stores. When we first got there the house was very hot. We turned on the AC which we later found out didn’t work. It was advertised as having AC. After the house cooled naturally it wasn’t really needed. There were fans that helped with cooling it down. The property owner was most communicative the day before and of our arrival. We got a very nice welcome basket. We were disappointed that the neighborhood kitty didn’t show up but we were visited by a possum one night! Overall a most pleasant stay. We’d definitely book again.

We had a great 3-night stay at Casa Figueroa. The location was excellent; just a short walk over to the many restaurants on State St. and even walkable (just over a mile) to the beach. The house was clean and well-equipped. We enjoyed drinking our morning coffee on the cute front porch. The beds and couches in the house were comfortable. I would recommend Casa Figueroa to friends and family.
