Gorgeous property with amazing views of the bay (we could actually see dolphins!). The sun room was even better in person and we spent most of our stay hanging out there enjoying the view. Very clean, organized, excellent communication with the property manager. Initially a little confusing to find the house because the homes on the street have poor signage of the street numbers. One house over at the end of the block is an easy public path to reach the man road along the water. We would definitely stay here again. Far exceeded our already high expectations!

Very nice and comfortable house. We had 8, plus an infant and were very confortable. We did quite a bit of cooking and there was plenty of roo. For all of us to do our things. Bedrooms were all a decent size and beds were comfortable. Proprty was very clean and well decorated. We also enjoyed thhe hot tub.The view from the front patio was incredible. The back patio area was also extremely nice.The location was a short walk to the beach and other shoreline activities and businesses. It was also within a 10 minute drive of most Santa Barbara attractions. Would definitely book again if in the area.

Property is as advertised - great location into downtown Santa Barbara (a nice walk or a very short drive), a well-serviced house (that had all the necessary 'stuff" for our stay, and solid (and timely) communication with the property manager ... with a view that's hard to beat! We all would go back in an instant for sure.
