Perfect Vacation Spot!

We had a wonderful stay at Downtown Villa. The home was well-decorated, clean, comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked. We had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. It's ideally located to many restaurants and the beach was a quick bike ride. The property is perfect for a family vacation. We'll be back soon.

Santa Barbara gem

This was the best house we've rented. Even better than the pics. Although it was just the 2 of us this place would be perfect for a family. Our only comment is that the bed was a little uncomfortable. Other than that everything was absolutely perfect.

Great Central Location

We selected this location based on the numerous positive reviews. We weren’t disappointed. The home is charming, has everything you would ever need, and is ideally located. Cota Street can be a little noisy if that type of thing bothers you, but we enjoyed our stay thoroughly and would stay here again in the future.
