About this apartment rental

Primary Renter Must be 25 Years of Age to Rent (Proof of Age Required)

Bella Caruso is a lovely apartment situated less than two minutes from the beach. Take a pleasant stroll to the wide stretch of soft sand and enjoy a sun-kissed day by the ocean. Or, head three blocks for a fun outing at the Santa Barbara Zoo. You'll also be within walking distance of an acclaimed taqueria and local produce market. You'll also find outdoor batting cages next door.

After an exciting day of sightseeing, unwind on the large patio -- complete with loungers, a grill, and alfresco dining. Your rental includes a well-equipped kitchenette, complete with a four-top gas range, and a small fridge. Helpful gadgets are also provided, such as a coffee maker, microwave, and toaster oven. Make a memorable meal with fresh local produce from the nearby market. When it's time to eat, relax around the expandable dining table with seating for everyone. Comfort awaits with a queen bed and a twin bed. Kick back and watch your favorite shows on the 32' TV with cable. Stocked with a complimentary starter supply of toiletries, the bathroom is configured with a walk-in shower.

Just off the kitchenette, a quaint private patio features a table and chairs. You'll also have access to a large shared patio. Equipped with a gas grill, this common area is perfect for alfresco dining. Another table is there for seating and two park benches, along with loungers, are also available.

THINGS TO KNOW
Although this apartment is not equipped with air-conditioning, it is rarely needed with the mild weather near the ocean.
This prime beachside locale is half a block from the Amtrak rails, and passing trains may occasionally be heard (all Santa Barbara beachfront property shares this feature). This is a historical building with multiple units, and sound may carry.

Beautiful, one-of-a-kind property on a quiet hill near the ocean and town. The home is quite comfortable -- with three good size bedrooms and bathrooms, a large living area, well-equipped kitchen, and several lovely terraces. We loved our stay.

Santa Barbara is beautiful and we will definitely be back! The size of the place was smaller than we thought but it was cozy and comfortable for what we needed. The walls are a little thin and there were some guests in the unit upstairs that were very loud at 1AM. We could hear their whole conversation. I messaged the Casago team and they were instantly very helpful. The noise subsided and we were able to enjoy the rest of our stay. The neighborhood is beautiful and the neighbors are all very friendly. The unit is very clean and there is private parking in the back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Santa Barbara and staying in this home was a bonus to our trip. The room was as described and we found it to be everything that we needed for a couple of days trip. We were within walking distance to be beach and a wonderful restaurant. A big plus with this rental is the provided parking on the property.
