The owner is very nice and easy to communicate with. We noticed some scratches on the wall in one of the bedrooms and sent it to her to ensure it wasn't us that did it. I'm not sure how often she visits the rental. I say this only because she sounded surprised at the scratches. Her house is walking distance to the shopping and coffee shops! If you have a car - the driveway they have is unavailable to park in. It's too bad because it's right there! There is street parking but you must read the signs to obey the times and days. It's really not that bad. Here is word of caution if you have mobility issues. I had a full knee replacement almost a year ago so I'm aware of an uneven pavement. When you open the gate to walk towards the house, there is a giant, metal North, East, West, Star, directly in your path. It's kinda awkward to walk over. Please be careful. They have two bedrooms - one bedroom has a bed very LOW to the ground. The other bed is normal height. **Beds were the best part of the ARBNB!! Super comfortable. The bathroom is itty bitty and the toilet seat is very low. Just a word a caution.

Great location for walking around downtown Santa Barbara & the Funk Zone. Property managers very accommodating. Would stay there again!

We loved this property. The neighborhood was fantastic, we could walk nearly everywhere we needed to go, and the host were very responsive. We can't wait to come back.

We had a fantastic stay in Santa Barbara at this 2-bedroom cottage. Location 2 blocks west of State St. was excellent -- close enough to "the action" but still relatively quiet -- only moderate street traffic and no rowdiness or anything like that. No A/C and it got a little warm on a couple of days, coming back to the house after an active day outdoors, but we opened windows and used the fans provided and were perfectly comfortable. Greatly appreciated the nice kitchen, coffee and tea supplies, and lovely shower in the (lone) bathroom. Two bedrooms, but I think it would be a little cramped to stay with more than 2 people for longer than a weekend. Beach chairs and beach towels provided too -- Fantastic!

Loved the proximity to downtown and beach. Woken up by soil compactor at 7 a.m. our first morning. Yard work is being done. We were not notified about the work until the afternoon after we were woken up. Got questioned by owner regarding how many people were staying at the house (we had 3 people) and when we checked in, when we had no violations. Owner replied that we were correct, with no thanks or apology. We arrived home late Saturday evening after our son's wedding to find the gate locked on our off street parking spot. Had to drive around and find street parking when the rental comes with the off street parking space. Contacted owner and once again no apology. Bring earplugs! The road noise is loud in the front bedroom.

My family enjoyed our stay here. The home is walking distance to restaurants and shopping. It's a very short drive to the beach as well. Keep in mind the home does not have a TV. This was not a problem for us as we were out all day and played board games in the evening. I would recommend.

This was perfect for what we (a few people in their mid-30s spending a weekend in SB) wanted.

Perfect getaway. Walked to State street. Looking forward to a return trip already...!

Loved our stay! The place was clean, well supplied, and overall such a perfect place close to everything in downtown SB.

We stayed at this cute 2 bedroom house and loved the location. We enjoyed daily walks to Starbucks and sitting on the front porch enjoying the mornings. Note there is no TV in this home (I did not pay attention when booking) but it actually turned out well for us - a nice relief from the daily stress of COVID-19 and other stressful issues.

I had such a great time staying here for a few days! It was the perfect spot to relax in SB and it's close to everything. Only a few blocks away from State Street and we walked almost everywhere. I'm glad we ended up choosing this spot!

We had a lovely stay in this charming Santa Barbara home. Only wish there was a TV for some down time in the evenings.

Great time staying at this cute house! Perfect location just a few blocks walking distance to State Street. Great front porch for coffee/cocktails. Owner was wonderful to work with!

We stayed here for an outrigger race held at Leadbetter Beach & it was perfect! We were able to walk to the race, grab coffee downtown & walk to the Funk Zone for beer & wine. Great location & comfortable home for a weekend away. No TV which forced us to relax & enjoy each other's company.

The location was perfect for walking around downtown. The inside could use some work, bathroom was updated but still had some painting that needed to be done, kitchen was not fully stocked, no backyard, and I would have expected a washer dryer in any house I rent. Also, the windows are all single pain and there is no AC so it can get VERY hot in the house if you are there in the summer. The character is older craftsman, so I get that it isn't new construction, but the windows should be updated with better window coverings to keep out the sun/heat, plus more fans or portable AC unit for the hot days. We have rented many houses and this one was at the bottom of the ranking, even though it was cute. We were only there two nights, so the issues weren't a huge deal, but I wouldn't stay again unless it was updated.

Very close to all great things in Santa Barbara.
