This is the second winter we have spent in this Lower Riviera home. The neighborhood has easy access to The Mission, the Riviera Theater, and State Street is not far. Fun for walkers. The view above Santa Barbara is a bonus. Just right for a couple or small family.

We had a great month in Santa Barbara. Dan was helpful and always very quick to respond to messages! Ken, who rents the other half of the house, was friendly and helpful. The view was beautiful!!! It was great to have our own laundry. (The washer and dryer are in the garage.) Parking is available on the street and we were always able to park close to the house. I wish we could have stayed longer. We would stay there again! Thanks Dan!

Unfortunately we were unable to come to Santa Barbara over Labor Day weekend due to Hurricane Harvey, and had to cancel at the very last minute. Daniel was so kind and offered to let us come another weekend or refund our money. He didn't have to do that, but it was such a nice gesture at a time when we really needed it. We will definitely rebook his home when we are able to reschedule our trip! Thank you Daniel.

This is a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom, but you can use the futon in the living room as another queen size bed. We had 3 couples during the stay, so as long as no one has a problem with sleeping in the living room it works perfectly. Dining room and kitchen were nice sizes, although we didn't really use the kitchen. There is a patio that you can sit on to relax outside in the fresh air, if you want there is a BBQ that you can pull out and use as well.
Please Note: This is a large house that has been converted into 2 homes, so there is another resident that lives in the back half. You will see this as you walk up to the front door, as you have to walk in front of his patio & front door in order to enter the house. Super friendly guy, he also takes care of the property and if anything goes wrong in the home you can knock on his door.

The house on Grand was perfect for our family of five and our week vacation to Santa Barbara. The location is fantastic, just up the hill a bit to have great views of the city and ocean, but not too far up. It was an easy walk down to State St and the rest of the downtown attractions. It's a small, quaint house, but the layout is perfect and it was well stocked with everything we needed. We'd absolutely stay there again!

My two kids and I took a road trip from Orange County to Santa Barbara and stayed in this darling home. The neighbor, Ken, greeted us upon on arrival and was great to show us around and offered his help, if need be. We loved the location as it was close to downtown and a lovely place to walk. We were comfortable and very happy here, we'll definitely be back!

Amazing view and great location!
The riviera can be difficult to navigate but we had an easy time finding the house. Ken, the property manager showed us around and explained the parking situation for 3 vehicles. He was very nice and informative. The views from the deck are amazing. All in all, there was ample space to cook, entertain, and it was exactly what we needed. I would definitely stay there again.

Great place in a nice neighborhood!
The property was very clean, quiet and comfortable. Daniel was really nice and accommodating with lots of town tips and friendly chat. Luckily we were visiting while the tangerine tree was in season so we had fresh fruit to brighten up our mornings!

Spacious, older property - but beware the ants
Unfortunately, what should have been a really nice stay in a charming older property was marred by the presence of ants in the house.
One of us (in the bed in the living room) was bit several times at night by them, and the ants got into our stuff and were tracked into the vehicle. While I'm sure this isn't _always_ a problem, it was for us.

Excellent place, just as we expected.
Daniel, our stay in your place was really a pleasure. The house was very confortable. We enjoyed the terrace with a full moon. Ken who was living next door was really a great host and always ready to help. You were also available by mail when we needed you. Thanks for all.

Nice place, but a little old and not super clean
I can't say this place is terrible, because it wasn't. It was in a cute little area about a mile & half above State St (downtown area). I wasn't really happy with the cleanliness of the place. It was not at all dirty, however little things caught my attention. There was a hair int he bathtub for one. That tells me whoever cleaned, didn't really do a thorough job and made me wonder if the tub was even thoroughly cleaned (that's a huge sanitation issue). I noticed the bed sheets had some yellowish spots on them. There were spider webs throughout the house. Considering that we are charged a cleaning fee, I would have expected a much cleaner place. Since cleanliness is most important to me, I had to take away 2 stars for that.
Other than the cleanliness, the place is neat & has everything you need. Kitchen is a little outdated, but not a big deal. The owner forgot to send me all the information prior to arriving, so on my way to Santa Barbara I had to scramble to search for a phone number (the Homeway application kept saying his email was not working). I was getting nervous, but after looking for a while I was able to find a phone number so the owner gave me the information I needed to get into the place.
Like I said, because cleanliness is super important to me, I don't think I would stay here again, but I don't have any other complaints. The place is well furnished and cute. It was also nice that the owner allowed us to book a two night stay, most other places required a 3 night minimum stay.

Great bungalow, very peaceful
The casement windows in the kitchen have a beautiful view down into the city, and the decks are quiet and calming. The beds are clean and comfortable. The neighbor was super friendly and helpful. Everything is a short drive away. We stayed with our 4 year old daghter, and she would help to open (and close) the windows for the br of zen to blow through.
Also, the owner was very accords ring, answering questions before and during our stay.

The property had one of the best views, the house was great for a weekend stay.
Our weekend was amazing, the house was great for a weekend stay and Ken was helpful in all we needed. We were able to bbq out in the balcony and enjoyed the amazing view that comes with the property. The house was clean and had everything we needed to stay. It was about less than 10 minutes away from the beach and State street, which was the location we spent our most time at. We will come back and stay at the property again on one next visit to Santa Barbara.

Very cozy and comfy place to stay for the weekend!
My friends and I stayed here on the weekend of April 8-10 2016 for a bachelorette weekend. We had a great time! It comfortably fit 6 adults, even with just the one bathroom. The kitchen was fully stocked with utencils/appliances so we were able to make breakfast in the mornings. There were even small bottles of shampoo and body wash in the bathroom. The beds were comfortable. The only thing that was a tad bit confusing was how to turn on the tv, but we did get it turned on. And even though the owner gave us the wifi password, none of us were able to connect to it. We called to owner to ask about it and I believe he said the wifi was open, but again, none of us were able to connect to it. Other than that, we had no issues with this place. It was perfect for us, and close to places we wanted to visit. Overall the great.

Lovely home with a view on the SB Riviera.
This was the perfect setting for our mini-reunion of former college roommates. The home is spacious & well-maintained, with very comfortable beds (including the fold out futon in the living room). Located on a quiet street in the Lower Riviera, it is very convenient to State St., the mission & restaurants on Milpas. Would definitely recommend this property.

Good value for great views and pleasant stay
Probably the best thing about this property is the location. The view of the city and the ocean are wonderful to wake up to in the morning. The residential neighborhood is great for walking. It's a bit of a trek to State Street, but definitely doable, and very pleasant. It's not far from the Mission.
The layout of the house works well and is roomy enough for a temporary stay. I think the listing is not completely clear that it's a duplex, with a permanent renter in the unit to the back of this unit. The renter also acts as the owner's on-site property manager, so any problems with the property can be quickly and easily resolved. He is easygoing and helpful. That said, if privacy is a top priority for you, just be aware that it's a duplex and that there are also apartments close next door. Most of the time it was quiet and peaceful.
The beds were comfortable, linens, towels, etc. were plentiful. Overall, clean, but the furnishings could use some updating. It was very dark in the living room the first few nights of our visit, but that was quickly remedied by the owner's agent who acquired two lamps that made a world of difference.
The most problematic room is the kitchen, which has no dishwasher, very little counter space, and a microwave that is difficult to get to if you're short. If you don't plan to cook, it won't be a problem for you, though.
Overall, this was a good value. I would recommend it for those who don't mind being a bit off the tourist track. You'll need a car for the beach, grocery, etc.

Gorgeous house with an ocean view :)
We rented this spot for my best friends Bachelorette party weekend. We got in on Friday evening and stayed through Sunday morning. It's a very quiet neighborhood and the neighbor is so friendly - he gave us some hand picked tangerines from the tree out front they were delicious and perfect for our hangovers Sunday morning :)
This is a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom house with a balcony that has a great view - It was really hot the weekend we were up there so I pulled an air mattress out on the balcony and slept there - that was a treat for sure! The house was clean and well stocked with plenty of towels for us to use.
Bring food to stock up for the weekend, there is a stove, coffee maker and a regular sized fridge :) I highly recommend this rental.
