The path to the property runs thru the parking lot of the Blue Sands Inn, so you must be very careful of extended pickups with trailer hitches, or their tailgate down. The rug on the patio is in sad need of replacement, (third world looking) tattered, faded and unraveling. it was hot and humid, (unusual for SB) fans were provided, but some electrical outlets didn't work. Ceiling fans in bedrooms and living room/dining area would be a possible solution.Overall six on a ten scale.

facts: sofa bed broken heater broken owner was aware of these but did not update the listing broken items were not acknowledged until we stayed 2 nights (Vacasa management non responsive) 2.5 bath home not 3 (minor) good location well equipped kitchen outdated bathrooms don't recommend properties managed by Vacasa due to lack of responsiveness for days

poor communication from Vacasa/owner great location, well equipped kitchen, broken fold out sofa (had we known we would have looked at other properties), broken heater, alerted Vacasa as soon as we checked in - no response for 2 days, (space heaters dropped off on 3rd evening of our stay), disappointed in Vacasa will avoid in future.

I loved the condo location and ocean view with quick and easy walking access to East beach. The home was very nice with many windows and large enough for 3 people. This place would be a 5 star location with the following upgrades: 50 gallon water to accommodate enough hot water for residents, fix the patio slider lock so it locks securely, upgrade shower plumbing fixtures so water temp can be consistent through a shower, remove the non functional jet tub and replace with updated shower stall, fix the fridge ice maker, update the pillows, matresses and bedding to better hotel quality, get a remote garage door opener, upgrade the front door lock and handle because the door sticks and must be pushed hard to open not giving indication it unlocked when turn key. Thanks!

The property is nicely situated to the beach and zoo with a small grocery store nearby. Great walking opportunities. A few fixes would be great. First oil the squeaky door to the main bedroom (didn't want to wake the baby), provide detailed directions to the heating system (we were there at a change of seasons), 2 keys in the lockbox. While the towels were washed, they had an odor. I think this is because as you leave you are to wash the towels, not sure how the proceeding folks washed the towels....We put on sanitize - but at home we use vinegar which helps. Took us a while to find the sheets for the sofa. So, a bit more focus on directions/details would be make this 5 star.

We were here for a conference at the Hilton. Perfect place to stay! Walking distance to the conference along with all restaurants that we wanted to go to. And, it was lovely to start each morning with a walk on the path along the beach. Really nice grocery on the corner where we picked up everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again.

Comfortable two bedroom condo. Location is superb. Kitchen adequate.

This home is perfectly located seconds from the ocean, minutes from downtown and an east drive to other Santa Barbara sites. The home is beautifully furnished and immaculately cleaned. The garage is stocked with beach towels and chairs. It was a perfect home for our family get away. We will definitely book again.

Sunny’s place was the ideal location for myself, my daughter and grandsons. We were within walking distance to the Zoo the Wharf and right across from the beach! It had everything we needed. I have been going to East Beach area in Santa Barbara for over 30 years with my own children and it was wonderful to make the same memories with my grandsons! We hope to return next summer!

Our daughter lives in SB, but with growing family could not accommodate us. We have stayed on this street a couple of other times because of its location, but this was our first at Sunny's. Very clean, comfortable, with a garage (!), washer/dryer if needed and kitchen seemed to be well stocked. Would love to stay again when with friends.

Walking distance to the beach clean and comfortable!

We stayed here with family while in town for a wedding. We all traveled from out of state and had 2 children with us under 1yr old. The reason you consider staying here is the location. 2 minute walk to east beach, 10 minute walk to the zoo, 25 minute walk to the pier. Restaurants and groceries also near by. This made it very easy to pack up and go with young children knowing we could get to and from the beach so quickly. Reasons to reconsider staying here- The unit is very dated. Everything squeaks, door, floors, bathroom hardware etc. This may not matter to most visitors but with young napping children for us it was an issue. The kitchen. Everyday we woke up the ants, including the day we checked in. The kitchen included nothing but dishes, pots, pans and coffee. No ziplocks, plastic wrap, Tupperware, condiments, paper plates or even tin foil. The ice maker did not work in the fridge. The BBQ igniter did no work either. The living space was adequate but really could use a facelift. No fans (ceiling or floor) for the downstairs living area which got quite warm during the afternoons. The floor mat looks more like a bathroom mat that is curling up at the ends. The garage. Good size, desperately needs a keypad to make it somewhat convenient. Anytime you leave, you either need to park the car outside while you go around and inside to open up the garage or if you are lucky enough to be riding with some have them do it. Either way it is super inconvenient. Also, unit had nothing for the beach. I don’t recall if it advertised beach supplies or not, but it has nothing. No hairs, umbrellas or even toys. Very unusual in my experience for a beach house to provide nothing. Bedrooms were good size, but like the rest of the unit, need updating. Bed squeaked, bedding was very worn, screen door didn’t work, ceiling fans would be nice. Like I mentioned first, the location is really good and in my opinion that would be the only reason to stay here. The owners could do a lot with this unit if they chose to clean it up, but frankly at the price point it was disappointing

The home was clean, convenient and had nice touches we weren't expecting. We were in town for a wedding and the location could not have been better. Besides getting used to daylight being at 5:30 (which owners have no control) it was perfect.

We loved this condo. It was large, bright, airy and very close to the beach! There are water views from the two upstairs decks. The house was well appointed and very clean. I will definitely go back!

I imagine Sunni and Andrew to be warm, generous and inviting people -in their townhome was just that for my family.
Cozy and fantastic – perfectly accommodating. We could make breakfast together “at home “and then takeoff for the day.
Location, Location, Location! This place is incredible, within a block or two of the beach, a great grocery store, nice restaurants and even a great taco stand.

Great location and the home was nice. The only complaint we had was the bed in the guest bedroom was very uncomfortable and very noisy every time the person sleeping in it moved. Many people have mentioned this is past reviews; I hope the owners or property manager read these and realize that a simple Costco bed would be a great upgrade and improve the stay. Other than that, it was great.

Across from the beach in walking distance. Convenient drive to downtown and the harbor. Clean and comfortable.

Lovely and clean, yet slightly dated, home. Pro's: Loved the fireplace, and access to W/D and garage. Relaxing was easy in this home. Beautiful area with lots to do outside the door. Cons: The master bedroom king bed is as bad or worse than prior reviews. Mattress must be old, no support and makes lots of noise and has cheap sheets. I wouldn't stay here again unless the mattress and box were replaced. Not sleeping well on vaca was a bummer. The living room rug should be retired, it's more like a big bath mat.

The Santa Barbara Beach House is spectacular. Beautifully decorated, comfortable, spacious, immaculate, classy, and fun. The location, right at the beach for days, and next door to many fun, lively restaurants and bars. Park your car and hide the keys! We had a wonderful stay.

We really liked the location. Walking distance to zoo and beach and State St. there’s also a local market that sold yummy fruit! The check in process was easy. We have 3 small kids (one is an 8 month old who wants to crawl everywhere) and we found the floors to be dirty (our sons feet were dirty just from exploring the house when we got there. We don’t wear shoes in the house so we know it wasn’t us trekking in dirt). It’s also located close to train tracks so be prepared to hear the train early in the morning and late at night. Didn’t bother us much cuz our kids wake up early anyway. The beds are very squeaky and loud. So if you’re sharing with a light sleeper then it may be a problem. The kitchen was fully stocked and it had everything we needed. The outdoor patio area is nice so you can eat meals outside. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Just a couple of tweaks to make it 5 star!
