The house is in a great location, and has a view of the ocean. A path that leads to a walkway along the coast and goes to the harbor is right out the front door. The living area has very comfortable seating to chat and relax. The place could use a little TLC. Faucets in the bathroom are corroded. The floorboards look dirty because they need painting. The third bedroom has no privacy. Hand soap in the two bathrooms and kitchen seems like a necessity. There were dead ants on a towel in the cupboard over the toilet. The plug by the sink outside the bathroom by the bunkbeds doesn’t work. The GFI wouldn’t reset. My phone and watch didn’t charged over night due to that.

Location, location, location! Waking up to the sunrise over the ocean and mountains was amazing. The location is perfect for walking to the beach or the nearby bars, restaurants, and stores.

The stay and place were great. The only problem was trying to get in due to the pad not unlocking the latch. Also, we had told someone, the day of, that the back screen has been split and beer bottles flowing over in the trash can. Other than that…. Wonderful, thank you!!

My friends and I wanted to treat ourselves after graduating college and we were more than pleased with our stay. The house was close to downtown, the zoo, and the wharf. All are within 10 minutes of the house by car. The house was also very close to a park, several beaches, restaurants, and grocery stores that were all within walking distance. The close proximity of everything was very convenient and only made this stay much more enjoyable. The house itself was very well maintained, has a great view of the ocean, and has plenty of space for people to sleep. One of my favorite things about this house is that there is a table outside on the patio with several chairs that are perfect for eating breakfast and feeling the cool breeze from the ocean. We will always remember our time in Santa Barbara and it could not have been possible without this great stay.
