Great in all aspects but upgrade the beds

This place was wonderful and made our trip a true delight. The mattress in the bedroom and the rollout cot mattress were both lacking. Could do to get a couple of new mattresses.

Great summer vacation in Santa Barbara

Ideal appartment for vacation in Santa Barbara. Short distance to the beach and only short but very nice walk under the palm trees to the board walk. Car parking in the neighborhood without problems. We enjoyed it very much and would certainly come back.

Cute, Convenient, and Close to the Beach!

The property is very nice and has a cool, old fashioned Spanish ambiance. The bed in the bedroom was comfortable and kitchen was spacious and clean. It was nice being able to wake up and walk to the beach, restaurants, and a cute little market. The owner is very nice. We had a wonderful weekend!

Relaxed beach vacation

My sister and I wanted a place near East Beach so we could easily walk everywhere. The place isn't fancy but clean and very comfortable. The neighborhood feels safe and is very quiet. I really appreciated the good quality beach chairs, towels, and umbrella available for our use. Tri County Produce is just 2 blocks away and has all the basics. Next time I won't even rent a car (even though it was no problem finding street parking). We enjoyed walking on the bike path to get coffee and then setting up at the beach with our chairs. Our goal was rest and relaxation and this low key place was perfect. We'll be back!

Excellent Location and Stay

Jami, the owner, was very gracious and provided all we needed for a short but excellent stay. The beds were comfortable (one King in the master and a queen pull-out Lazy-Boy couch/bed). The bathroom was upgraded and water pressure worked great. Plenty of soft towels. A full kitchen for our use although we didn't use it. Very typical Santa Barbara style home. I liked the feel of it. It felt like home to us. It is street parking and not a dedicated spot though, so that was a bit of a struggle. We ended up parking about a block or so away, but were able to move our car very close to the property later that day. Beach was about a 7 minute walk away, but restaurants would require a vehicle or bike ride. Everything is just like the description states it is. We're very happy we selected Jami's property. Thank you, Jami, for a great stay! We will return!

Great Host, Great Location, Great Rental! 5-Stars!

You know you are staying at a great place, when you are ready to give it a review, before you even check out! The home is perfect for my family of 4. It’s literally a 2 minute walk from the front door to the sand (It was so close, I literally had to time it), which was great to come and go to the house anytime we needed something, and not to have to haul everything at once. The location is perfect, with the Wharf, Zoo and State Street all very close, our first night, the family walked the beach trail back from the Wharf. Jami the owner is super sweet, and has had great communication throughout the process. The house was equipped with tons of amenities throughout for convenience, especially in the kitchen, which made preparing food feel like home. My wife and kids even, took a moment together to complete one of the jigsaw puzzles she had. Only hiccup was the city’s construction each morning and them shutting off the water the majority of our 2nd day, which was a bit of a challenge with our little ones, but hey more excused to enjoy the beach. We can’t wait to book here again and recommend it to our friends and family. We are already planning our next Trip here. Thank you Jami for making the kids last week of summer extra special!

Great location and very quiet. We didn't have any problems with street parking. We recommend bringing some additional padding for the sofa bed and roll away mattresses. We appreciated having both so our kids didn't have to share. Will stay here again in the future!
