This is a nice one bedroom apartment a block from the East Beach. The apartment is well stocked with linens and towels and can handle additional sleepers in the living room. The kitchen is also well stocked with cookware, utensils and spices. The location is great and we went on beach walks every morning. There are two excellent restaurants within a 3 minute walk (Reunion on the beach, Convivo at a nearby Inn). There is also a very nice grocery store within 2 minutes walking. We found nearby street parking everytime which you might not expect at a location so close to the beach.

Perfect location if you have an event at Mar Monte Hotel. Walking distance (approx 1 block). The beach is probably 2 blocks away. Very convenient.

Ideal appartment for vacation in Santa Barbara. Short distance to the beach and only short but very nice walk under the palm trees to the board walk. Car parking in the neighborhood without problems. We enjoyed it very much and would certainly come back.

We loved that the location was so close to the beach and the waterfront area. It is close to so many activities. It was a nice place for my daughters and I to stay. A very cute and quaint condo. Check in and out was very easy. Loved our stay.

Jami, the owner, was very gracious and provided all we needed for a short but excellent stay. The beds were comfortable (one King in the master and a queen pull-out Lazy-Boy couch/bed). The bathroom was upgraded and water pressure worked great. Plenty of soft towels. A full kitchen for our use although we didn't use it. Very typical Santa Barbara style home. I liked the feel of it. It felt like home to us. It is street parking and not a dedicated spot though, so that was a bit of a struggle. We ended up parking about a block or so away, but were able to move our car very close to the property later that day. Beach was about a 7 minute walk away, but restaurants would require a vehicle or bike ride. Everything is just like the description states it is. We're very happy we selected Jami's property. Thank you, Jami, for a great stay! We will return!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Comfortable and quiet 1 bedroom, 1 bath with nice pullout couch. Host was great in her communication and everything was prepared for our arrival. This location is ideal...near some of the commercial areas of Santa Barbara and a short 1 block walk across the street to East Beach. What a spot! Thanks for a great stay!

Cute, well appointed apartment close to everything you want to be close to. Place was super clean, beds comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our plans were in a bit of flux due to a very last minute change in our travel plans, and the property owner was super flexible in working with us and giving us options. I’ll definitely stay here next time I’m in Santa Barbara

The property is very nice and has a cool, old fashioned Spanish ambiance. The bed in the bedroom was comfortable and kitchen was spacious and clean. It was nice being able to wake up and walk to the beach, restaurants, and a cute little market. The owner is very nice. We had a wonderful weekend!

So adorable!! Stayed with husband and 3 kids over spring break. Perfect for 5. Kids used sofa beg & rollaway bed. Husband and I enjoyed spacious bedroom and comfy bed. I have a child with special needs so a well appointed kitchen is always something I use. I bring my own supplies but this spot has everything I needed as well. So close to the beach, zoo and funk zone we walked to the beach everyday of our stay. Prop manager was communicative and kind. I would definitely return.

Perfect location. Steps away to the beach. Minutes away to State Street. Great food and lots to do and see.

This little one bedroom apartment is in a great location, about 1.5 blocks from East Beach in Santa Barbara (it doesn't have a view though). It was reasonably quiet, on a lovely little side street (with easy free parking), and met all of our basic needs. The kitchen is adequately stocked with equipment (but it needs a cookie sheet/flat oven pan). My only complaint was that the sofa bed in the living room, which we needed to use, was not at all comfortable (felt all the supporting bars, etc.). The host (Jamie) was friendly and responsive.

This is a great location. It is an easy walk to the beach and the market. It is well equipped. It was also quiet at night. The bed was comfortable. We are readers, so we appreciated the good lighting next to the bed!

Great location - @2 blocks to beach and the Hilton. Easy street parking. Beds were comfy and plenty of towels and extra linens. Thank you!

This is a unique, little apartment across the street from the beach. We had a few issues though. The primary issue was the fact that there is no heat in this apartment. If you're here in the summer, it's fine. But if your here in the winter, you're going to be cold. There's a small vintage looking space heater in the living room. But that's it.
Another possible issue is that street parking is tight. There are times when you may have to park far from the apartment.
The other thing that happened, was one of the circuit breakers tripped out and we lost power to the bedroom and living room. This was the last thing I expected to happen. I was able to reset the breaker, but this should not be happening.

Beautiful location, so close to the beach. Charming place and very clean. We would rent it again!

I showed up at midnight as discussed with host, our name was on the door but no key. The host directed us to receive the spare key and when we went inside there was two people sleeping in the bed. Such a scary experience with my daughters and a baby! Had to find a hotel that night as we were so uncomfortable with the whole experience. The host did offer us another unit but the lack of security was so concerning we opted not to. Use caution if renting this place at night & the fact we were able to gain access to a unit someone else stayed in.

Awesome rental close to the beach. Jami was exceptionally responsive. Getting the B-Cycle month pass so we could hop on and off the electric bikes to get all over the city was definitely worth it.

The apartment is wonderful in all ways EXCEPT the beds need to be updated. The mattresses were all lumpy or had dips in them, from the bed in the master to the pull out couch to the roll away. We walked a lot and needed a good night's sleep and that wasn't available.
The hosts had thought of everything we would need--fully stocked kitchen, a selection of some yummy teas, good seating options, accommodated when we had our family over for breakfast (7 adults total). Loved that we were so close to the beach and State St.
Would stay again IF the beds were updated.

We came to the area for a wedding in Carpenteria, and a welcome party at Leadbetter Beach on Friday. This adorable beach home is the ideal location! One block off the beach, located between those two locations. King bed very comfortable, kitchen well appointed with utensils, appliances, and cooking supplies! Rooms large, airy, water pressure/heat perfect! There are beach chairs, towels, sand toys to enjoy the beach. Couple things: we couldn’t figure out how to operate the tv, and I’d replace the carpet with flooring. If we returned to Santa Barbara, we’d definitely stay here again.

The location can't be beat. The beach is practically across the street. We really appreciated the beach chairs and sand blanket. The apartment itself is very spacious. Our family of four didn't feel cramped at all. We did wish that the light above the vanity outside the bathroom worked so that we could utilize that space while getting ready. But overall, great find.

The flat was a great find and is quiet and near everything - especially the beach. We enjoyed the spaciousness and attentiveness of the host to details for a fun trip. A few items are in need of maintenance but nothing that causes any issues for the guest.

Great location and within walking distance to so many things, including the Zoo and the East beach area. We found a great bagel place for breakfast within a 10 minute walk. The weather was gorgeous while we were there, however I wasn't tracking that there was no AC. We survived, but it did take some getting used to.

Well equipped but needs updating
We cooked several times, so appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and updated appliances. Good-sized living room/dining area (a small table by the front window), but furniture is old, think grandma's castoffs. The carpet, while clean, needs to be replaced. A better choice would be luxury wood-like vinyl. The bathroom also needs updating, and, while we appreciated the extra dressing "table" area outside of the small toilet/sink/shower room, the fluorescent light above it didn't work, making it unusable except for storing overnight kits; in fact, there were some spliced wires hanging out of the open area above the fixture. The other area definitely in need of attention is the outdoor sitting area. I can't imagine anyone wanting to have a glass of wine or meal there on the cement driveway in front of the garages. All that said, the owner was accessible and checked in to see if everything was to our liking (we told her about the broken light, which I think she knew about). She also very graciously let us stay until 2:00 on our checkout day. It wasn't until checkout that we looked at the closet in the living room and saw that there were beach chairs and other beach equipment. So, again, the house is well-stocked, especially for families. And very close to the beach!
