Great House in a great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with 6 adults in this property. Everything is very walkable, the house has everything one can possbily need and is beautifully furnished. The backyard is great as well. Only thing to mention is that the windows are a bit thin, so keep that in mind when booking.

Such a great place, better than the pictures. More spacious than it looks. We loved the proximity to everything. Once we arrived on Thursday, we didn't get back into our cars until Sunday when it was time to leave. Highly recommend for families / friends.

Perfect Home Stay in Santa Barbara

The property was better than advertised. Location is perfect, of course, but the house was outfitted with high quality furnishings and equipment similar to what I have at home. They had EVERYTHING. Santa Barbara had a power outage while we were there and sure enough there were flashlights everywhere and a drawer full of candles. Even the kitchen knives were high end and sharp! Management was responsive and pleasant to deal with. Just perfect all around.

Spacious with great location

Stayed her with three other friends for a getaway weekend for She is Beautiful. Love the location to downtown, easy walk and we biked to our run/walk. The home has lots of room, we were only four so it was almost too big! (we had a couple last minute cancels). Kitchen is well equipped, we made a couple dinners there. A mini-split in the dining/kitchen are which we definitely needed as it was a warm weekend. I did miss having ceiling fans in the bedroom but there were standing fans that worked quite well. The house has plenty of parking. we hope to be back.

Best VRBO in Santa Barbara!

This was by far the best VRBO in Santa Barbara, CA! The location was prime and the home was luxurious. The accommodations exceeded expectations. The house had something for everything! We traveled with kids and the home was very kid friendly. We played games and the back yard was a little oasis. I would highly recommend this VRBO and I will definitely book again when I am in Santa Barbara!

Lovely house/location

It is a beautiful house, furnished nicely and perfect location. However the entry, in/out gate, lockbox, doors a challenge. Need a more modern lockbox. It’s ancient. Door open/close a challenge. Pull up, turn key clockwise or wait counterclockwise. Instructions yes, but not easy as could be.
