There’s nothing glitzy about East Beach Cottage, but if you’re looking for a comfortable, homey spot just steps to the ocean and the best of the Santa Barbara waterfront, this is your place! My wife & I, along with our 12-year-old dog, spent a week here in late April and we absolutely loved it!! After staying in hotels on our last few visits to the area, we had narrowed down where we wanted to be, and East Beach Cottage was situated perfectly. Tucked in amongst a number of other rental properties, this place really felt different - small, but with plenty of space for a couple. It boasts two nice-sized bedrooms and one small bathroom, along with a perfectly adequate kitchen and comfortable living room with French doors that open out onto the back yard with an absolutely stunning view of the ocean and pier in the distance. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for anything more, and our dog loved it, too. (The fenced-in backyard with easy access from the living room gave him easy access to the back yard, where we all spent time just lounging on the nice, new patio furniture with handy shade from a deck umbrella.) Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to enjoy this wonderful place, but we’ll certainly stay here again if it’s available the next time that we travel to Santa Barbara!!!

I've been renting VRBO in various locations for many years, and THIS was by far the BEST rental experience I've ever had! Everything was perfect! Location, comfort and amenities, parking and attention to detail. Beach chairs and towels were furnished. Darling and comfortable back yard and patio. The host went WAY out of his way to accommodate a special birthday request from my daughter (I was celebrating a BIG birthday). He was prompt and thorough with communication, friendly and just a delight to work with before, during and after our stay. I HIGHLY recommend this rental and the host. I will absolutely be back, as I visit Santa Barbara every year. BEST HOST and BEST rental experience EVER!!
