8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
We stayed for 4 nights with our lab and found it incredibly easy to let her outside (we wre on the first floor) and to get in and out with her (she's a senior).The beds were comfortable and bedding and towels great. KItchen had everything we needed, and the location was good.Our one wish is that it had been air conditioned. We knew going in that it wasn't, and weren't real concerned but we hit a very sunny stretch and the house was quite warm in the mid afternoon even with the provided fans. Just something to be aware of if you're making a summer visit. All in all, much better than many of our VRBO accommodations.

We booked this property for 3 nights. We had 3 adults in our party. My husband and I brought my elderly mother to visit Santa Barbara. The weather was a little warmer than we expected, but the property provided fans since there was no central heating or air conditioning.We slept in the King bed room and my mom was in the queen bed room. She was comfortable there and liked the vanity in the room for her make up etc. She was a bit confused by how the shower worked in her bathroom, it took me a few minutes to figure it out, but it worked well. It was a tub/ shower set up so she had to step up and over to get in ( something to note if you are traveling with older folks)The main bedroom was comfortable and the bathroom was attached with a easy to access shower. Water pressure and temp were very good.With the weather being warmer we opened the windows at night. With our blinds open we could see the folks in unit #8 in their living room area and they could see directly into the bedroom as well as any folks coming down the large set of stairs would be able to see directly into the bedroom. We used 2 fans to keep the air circulating to be comfortable and pulled the blinds down for a bit more privacy. There was only one time where other guests were obnoxiously loud during our time there and talked and laughed loudly until sometime after midnight. If you have never experienced apartment or town home living, you may not be accustomed to the sounds of people living in close proximity

Nice location. Good outdoor space. Two bedrooms, each with a full bath so easily accommodates extended family sharing.

Incredible stay from start to finish. The grounds were beautiful, and we were welcomed with a thoughtful bottle of bubbly waiting for us. The location was perfect-just a short drive to everything we wanted to do and easily walkable to so much, including the beach. It was also very family-friendly and worked out wonderfully for our young family with toddlers. We will be back, thank you!
