Had a lovely and relaxing stay, was very straightforward and easy to check in (was allowed to early which was very helpful)!

This was the perfect place for my girlfriends and I to getaway on a mom’s trip and celebrate my birthday. The condo was clean, easy to access, and close to everything we wanted to do (we walked everywhere). The little patio off the living room was our favorite part, we had coffee in the morning, snacks in the afternoon and drinks in the evening there. Stephanie was an amazing host, very responsive and super accommodating in allowing us to check in early and store our luggage when we had a late flight out so we could enjoy another day in beautiful SB. We will definitely be back and book this place. 10/10 recommend.

This property was perfect for my husband & I as well as our son & girlfriend. Condo was exactly as described, had everything we needed. We could walk to the beach, Stearns Warf & the Funk Zone. It was clean, had everything we needed. Property is small but quaint & roomy enough for the four of us. The back patio which overlooked a zen garden was so quiet & a perfect way to have coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. Would stay here again. Stephanie was easy to deal with & quick to answer the few questions we had

5.0
We enjoyed a great stay at Stephanie's place. The outdoor space was our favorite part!
Cons(minor and short):
-Very small bedrooms, one without a closet or dresser in the room
- very small shower with large shower head
Pros (huge and longer):
- fantastic communication from Stephanie
- well laid out/stylish
- location, location, location
- Stephanie made it possible for us to check in early.
- literally 2 blocks to the beach
- an easy 10-15 min walk to the heart of funk zone or downtown
- easy to find
- all the necessities were there
- beautiful patio/deck space
All in all, a great place. We'd stay again. If I could have I would have put 4.5 stars to split the difference between the two of us one thought 4 the other thought 4.5 to 5.

This place looks pretty, but is not actually comfortable to stay in. The beds were like cardboard and the bathroom and shower were tiny. The checklist to check out was long and despite paying a cleaning fee you are required to do the dishes and put them in their original place (sans dishwasher) and take out the trash. Also very obsessed with reminding you only 4 people are allowed and there wasn’t even comfortable seating in the living space for that. Thankfully I was only here for a short amount of time. It is a good location to the beach but a bit far to walk downtown.

We had enough space for our family of two couples and our senior dog. During the heat wave the A/C was a welcome bonus. Parking two cars was never a problem. We like to cook and some of us wished there was a garbage disposal and dishwasher. However that did not stop us from having a terrific time and we would definitely return again.

Loved the interior design touches, great patio with view of beautfully designed garden below.

Nice place! Would definitely consider staying there again. Decent alternative to hotel for us, as we traveled with our 15 yo daughter. Close to the beach area. 😊
4.0
The property was nice, very clean and decorated thoughtfully. The outdoor patio was great. The reason I could not give 5 stars is because there are three places in the small unit reminding guests that they must check out at 10:00. These “informational” reminders were constant reminders of not only our check out time but our check out date as well. We were painfully aware of when our getaway ended. I think for most people, one reminder is sufficient.
5.0
This was a great location for the price. The unit was clean and well furnished. The patio was very nice with a big comfy table. There are steep stairs to the front door, and parking is only street parking, but as long as you’re aware of those factors it’s a great stay.

Very clean and great location. The beds were really uncomfortable and the air conditioner did not keep up so it was not great for getting a good night’s sleep

This was the perfect spot for 2 adult women. We walked everywhere, no need for a car. The kitchen and patio were perfect for making and enjoying our own wine and snacks. The grocery around the corner had everything we needed.
I’ll definitely book this spot again on the next trip to Santa Barbara.

If you want to explore Santa Barbara by foot, you can't ask for a better location. Communication with Stephanie was fantastic - check-in instructions were easy and clear.
The space is cozy, but had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the large private outdoor (covered) deck/patio!

My sister and I stayed here for a long weekend getaway. Weather was awful but the condo was great. Cute deck area. Had everything we needed. Walking distance to beach, grocery, shopping and restaurants. It was a nice quiet property.
5.0
We enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is exactly as shown in the photos and, while small, was just perfect. We were able to park right across the street and there are so many restaurants, shops and sights to see that are within easy walking distance that we didn’t really need to drive except when we went inland to the wine country.
The apartment was clean, quiet and had all the amenities we needed. The covered porch is lovely! The homeowner was communicative as needed. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend!

Enjoyed our stay. Great neighborhood and location. Every detail was thought of by the host making this one of our best VRBO experiences yet. Very clean. Easy parking during the week. Would love to stay again on our next visit to SB.

This rental was perfectly situated, the apartment was very clean and relaxing atmosphere. It was within walking distance to the beach, funktown, many restaurants, and old Town Santa Barbara.
5.0
You cannot beat this location!! You can walk everywhere from the condo! Less than 5 minutes from the beach, 10 minutes to State street and all the Funk Zone shops and restaurants! The condo is cozy and clean. The outdoor patio was wonderful and functions like an outdoor dining room, we loved it! Limited interactions with the host but she provided everything we needed so it wasn’t necessary to contact her. Stephanie is very clear about the amenities that are provided in the condo and if you need anything more that you should pack it, i.e. towels, pillows, etc.
We had a great trip to Santa Barbara and will stay at the Condo again if it is available!
