We enjoyed a long 4 day weekend in Santa Barbara … with this property adding to the experience. Lovely home located near the beach, restaurants and shopping. Location is perfect for those who enjoy walking. Home was well supplied … we canceled two dinner reservations because we enjoyed being in the home so much that we did not want to leave. It is clean, quiet, well appointed and comfortable. And we really appreciate that we were able to bring our miniature schnauzer. We will return again later this year.
