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.

Great Stay!

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.

Santa Barbara at its best

This peaceful, comfortable property was perfect for us. Plenty of space for our family, a well-appointed kitchen, comfortable beds, plenty of towels, just a quick walk to the beach, great outdoor spaces, and the most unbelievable views. The indoor/outdoor porch area with hot tub makes this place really special. 10/10 - would definitely stay here again.
