Wedding Weekend
My dad and I attended my cousin's wedding. The location of the home was great. The only issues I had but did not affect our stay was that the door lock did not work when we were leaving and parking was a small issue. My dad can't walk that far and if parking wasn't available outside the front gate we had to work around that issue. But most of the time parking was available. Communication with the owner was great and the owner was responsive. We enjoyed our stay.

Cool Property, have to wash your sheets
The place had a cool mid century vibe but with updated appliances & bathroom. Everything was clean and in good condition. Loved the closeness to the town center and shops. A mirror wasn’t secured on the wall very well and fell and broke after bumping into it. Which was a bummer. But, it didn’t ruin my stay. Will definitely stay here again given a chance. And would recommend it to anyone who’s willing to wash their own sheets and dishes.

Better than it looks
My husband and daughter were not too impressed when we drove up to our VRBO.But once we opened the door they changed their minds. The inside of the house was well appointed, comfortable and very convenient to restaurants and coffee shops.We enjoyed ourselves in this home and definitely would return.

Top notch place in a great location
Two bedroom (both good sized) unit was roomy, clean, and close to central Santa Barbara. Everything was straightforward—check in, lights, heat, shower, appliances, etc. Not a single “How does this work“ moment. Amy was immediately responsive to all emails. Highly recommended

Great location
Amy was very responsive and even allowed my family to have a late check out which was so appreciated. It was in a great location and close to State Street. Property does not sleep 5 but Amy allowed us to bring an air mattress. Property could be better equipped such as having paper towels or toaster in the kitchen.

OK stay, but wouldn’t rent again
The home itself was a great size for my family of 4. The kids loved the loft area and I thought the beds were very comfortable. Check in was easy with a smart lock. Parking was mostly easy to find except on Sunday night for us. Need to check all the street sweeping and parking restriction signs. The check out process tells you to get all the sheets, towels, and bedding and start a load of laundry. I contacted the host about there not being any detergent and they said there should be some under the sink, but there wasn’t. I sent a follow up message and then asked if there were any paper towels or napkins, and didn’t receive any responses to the last 3-4 messages I sent. The floors were old and kinda dirty, I did not like to walk barefoot on them. We had some loud neighbors up til 2-3 am on Saturday/Sunday, but that isn’t the hosts fault. It’s not super close to downtown, so we figured it would be quieter. Overall, OK place but I wouldn’t rent again.

Girls trip
The property was as pictured and anticipated and well located for the Santa Barbara bowl. Some minor things would have been nice to have such as paper towels, salt, espresso (was mentioned in ad but not available, additional bath towels).
Overall we enjoyed our stay, the property and location!
Thank you!

Wonderful Stylish Home
Thoroughly enjoyed this immaculate, airy and stylish home. Perfect size for our family of 4 adults , a baby and dog. Cathedral ceilings, well appointed kitchen and beautiful bathroom. Good sized bedrooms with comfy beds and bedding. The fenced in side yard and back garden area is convenient for pets. It was a little noisy at night ( the neighbors behind us were outside well beyond midnight on our 2nd night). The house has one fan and we brought a couple which solved the noise problem and provided nice circulation of air on warm days. We would definitely come back.

Great grad weekend
Lovely property only a few blocks off the middle of state street. The property had everything we needed. Parking was a slight challenge at times probably due to grad weekend and a baseball game down the street but otherwise within a half block. Super cute inside and out with plenty of space for our group of 4. Photos on the site don’t actually do it justice.

Weekend getaway
Cute little home in a convenient location. Dog friendly which was key to our getting away. Nice amenities, kitchen well equipped, king size bed in master very comfortable (sheets could be replaced).
Disappointed that we did not receive a "welcome" package/basket nor Information binder.
The outside patio was dirty and covered in leaves/debris (including the tables, chairs and hammock). Not ideal for relaxing.
The home was clean but furniture could use some updating (a broken chair, overhanging light over dining room table was not working.)
The property manager was helpful and provided useful information via text.

We really enjoyed our stay! The home was chic, well appointed, and in a safe and quiet neighborhood. We walked to State Street each night for dinner and entertainment which was about a mile round trip. We will definitely be returning some day!
