Lovely property, very clean and private. Check in was a breeze as directions were clear. Bed was super comfortable and the living area was light and bright. Its in a quiet neighborhood near the ocean and the private beach is lovely. If you are looking for something quiet and out of the hustle and bustle this is a great spot.

This place is a gem! We were in town for my son’s student orientation at UCSB, and this place is very conveniently located to campus and easy to get to. It was a very clean, private, quiet and safe sanctuary to return to after a long and full day at UCSB. I would stay here over and over each time I’m visiting UCSB. Hosts were quick to respond and wonderful.

Perfect for UCSB Parents
Wonderful unit with easy access to bike trails that go right through UCSB campus into Isla Vista. Stayed for our son’s graduation and were very happy with our choice. Hosts were very responsive to online requests and the whole process was simple and easy. Would stay again and recommend to others as a great alternative to the limited hotels in Isla Vista.

Cold weekend
The weather was unseasonably cold. The small heater in the unit was not able to keep up. Contacted the owner and they supplied an additional heated that made it more comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.
This rental was perfect for me! I enjoyed the short walk to the private beach to see the sunset each nt. The rental is also close to great hiking and biking trails. Durning low tide you can walk as far as you can see down the beach. The unit was clean and comfortable. I enjoyed having a separate room with the tv couch and kitchenette. Host family was very accommodating and responded promptly to questions. I hope to stay again in the future!

Quiet, close proximity to Santa Barbara and Goleta
Our daughter goes to UCSB and we wanted to stay nearby but not in a cookie cutter hotel. This place fit our criteria and much more. The place is just right for the two of us and our medium sized dog. The neighborhood is very, very nice and private access to the beach is just down the street. We would stay there again and again.

Very pleasant
Only drawbacks are that cooking is limited to a microwave and you will hear an airplane take off early morning,daily.
Otherwise, very quiet and tranquil. Right by the ocean.
I will stay again. Super close to everything yet feels secluded. Small but comfortable. Bike path to the beach just down the road.
