Things to Know
This vacation rental has two codes to access the property. The first is a gate code that provides entry through the communal door to reach the second floor, and the second is a 10-digit code to access the home.
This is an old, turn-of-the-century home, and noise may be heard from adjacent units.
This home is located near the train tracks (all Santa Barbara beachfront property shares this feature) and the 101 freeway. Earplugs are provided for those sensitive to noise while sleeping.
Although this unit is not equipped with air conditioning, it is rarely needed with the mild summer temperatures at the beach. A ceiling fan ensures a pleasant breeze.
This unit is on the second floor. Elevators are not available.

I received communication indicating check-in, parking and everything else we needed to know daily and during our stay. We had an issue with bedding, however it was sorted out immediately. Parking was easy and convenient. The location is great. A 4 min walk to local groceries and 6 min walk to the beach!!!
The room was airy and very clean. There was no ac, which is typical for Santa Barbara, but they had fans in the closet for use.
The other rooms were occupied, but never had an issue with noise.
Highly recommend.

This studio is cute, clean & comfy. Close to the beach. My only complaint was we didn’t have enough towels for our stay. But when I brought up my concern it was quickly fixed.

The property is not well maintained. There was mold in the bathroom, peeling paint and the furnishings were not particularly comfortable. The home's exterior was neglected, too.

This home was clean, well equipped, conveniently located, and a great price for the location. We hope to stay here again the next time we visit our son at Westmont.

My 20 year old daughter and I had a great time staying here. It was perfect for us with the second bed in the alcove. The space was very clean and comfortable. It was a short walk to the beach. I appreciated the parking in back. I had read there was no AC so that wasn’t a surprise. We opened the windows in the evening to cool the room off. I would stay here again.

I stayed in the Santa Rosa suite. PERFECTION. All the windows open to a beautiful breeze. Comfy bed with fluffy comforter. Day bed was comfy and had a roll away twin underneath as well. Large room acts as two rooms. Quaint and quiet. Don't miss this one. I walked to a taco truck on Milpass which was excellent. Eller's Donuts, further east on Milpass was wonderful. Easy walk to the harbor. Lots of restaurants around. I noticed there was no air conditioning so I brought two of my own fans and found two fans in the closet along with a dish heater for the winter. Small ironing board with Iron too. I had no problems with the tv or internet. Good shower pressure. Jacuzzi tub in the room but I did not use it. One small bad of coffee is presented for the coffee maker so if you don't want to walk out for coffee, bring your own. A microwave and small fridge are available as well. This is where I will stay on my return trips. My daughter just graduated from UCSB and I usually stayed at Hilton Garden Inn in Goleta which is very nice and convenient but for visiting her but this place was more relaxing for me. Goleta is 15-20 minutes away up the freeway.

Rental said it slept 4. The twin bed was broken and wobbly, and the trundle was super uncomfortable...springs in the back😒. There were only 2 wash clothes & 2 hand towels. Not really anywhere to sit to eat accept one small desk??? A 2 top table for eating would have been good. Also not much usable surfaces for setting toiletries on, or preparing food. There was NO communication through the app 🤔. I will NOT recommend this place to people.

Great neighborhood and a super cool property. Just a quick walk to the beach and conveniently located to State Street (longer walk or short Uber) for dinner and drinks.

Santa Rosa Room not East Beach Room
Great location and access to the beach. Overall, facility was charming. Many things needed attention. Phone process to get assistance is long, repetitive, frustrating and annoying. Written instructions are needed for use of TV ...i.e. did not come on, spent 45 mins unsuccessfully on phone; info on how to set to correct HDMI setting is needed. Remote worked except for on/off button; had to do from side of tv. Wifi was out for a day, but manager was able to restore. Thought jets in tub not working, but button is very hard to press. Need dowel to press deep and hard enough. Only 3 of 8 window open so can't get much of a cross breeze, but fans are available. We rented for two but only towels for one were there. Had to go through phone process to get more towels. Toaster only toasted on one side of bread so had to toast ea slice twice. We would recommend with caveat about long, not local phone process for getting assistance and if these items we've identified have been remedied. The train sounds did not bother us at all and do not run at night.

Sunlight filled lovely room by the beach
We enjoyed our stay in this sunny second story suite one block from East Beach. The king size bed was extremely comfortable, and having a lovely daybed in an alcove gave us space and a bit of privacy (though there is no door between the larger bedroom and the alcove). A vanity with mirror is set in front of one window, and a small table between well stuffed armchairs sits in front of another window, providing a nice place to gather and chat. The patio out back would be wonderful to relax in the summer; it was a bit cold for that during our stay, but we still appreciated the Spanish architecture & lush plantings.
Inside the apartment, there was a coffee maker, small fridge and microwave. We were surprised that there were only two of most items (coffee mugs, forks, etc) considering that there were beds to fit four people, and we had to wash out some items for other family members to eat or drink at breakfast. We also wanted to open the windows when we arrived to enjoy some fest air, and noted that many of the windows did not have cranks to open them or the cranks were broken. Our initial arrival was challenging because, while we were given the door code for our individual suite, we never received the code to open the door to the house that led to our suite. Despite these minor inconveniences, we enjoyed our stay. We did find that the contact person at Turnkey was very responsive when we had questions, especially upon our arrival in providing the code to the outside door, and we are very grateful to them! All in all, a lovely place to stay!

The rental was great! It was 1 room, and a half room with a couch that was meant to be a bed. There were 3 of us girls staying there, and it was literally perfect! It was safe, comfortable, and clean. I highly suggest it!

Quaint and good location, but not as big as it looks
The room(s) was quaint and in a good location, but the room is not as big as it looks online. Check-in/out was easy, but no early check-in or late check-out available. Room was clean. For 4-people there should be four of all the bath towels, wash cloths, and hand towels (we were short two wash cloths and two hand towels). Location is good - can easily get to main Santa Barbara in 10 mins or less, and being super close to Milpas St it is the beginning of the Taco Trail.

Great location, cute place
Had a wonderful time here. The location was ideal, just a couple blocks from the beach. The room was very comfortable, especially the bed. There were some little fruit flies hanging around the bonus room sink, but very clean otherwise. Would highly recommend 👍

Old condo near beach
It is very close to beach, a 5 mins walk. There are few eateries within 10 mins drive but wouldn’t call it a great location as it is surrounded by low cost motels and godowns. We were fine with it because it was just a sleep over for two nights during our drive to Coronado from palo algo. The bathroom tells the story of how old this place is. It hasn’t seen any upgrade in the longest time. I wouldn’t stay here if I was on vacation in Santa Barbara .

Leaking cold faucet in the bathroom; the tub turn on valve is VERRRY difficult to turn. Feels like it is breaking to get it to turn. We called the management office the night of arrival to complain about the temperature of the room (was on the cold side). We were told that a "local person" would call up back - never did - and that the local person would provide us with a space heater - which they never did. I had to find and purchase a space heater for the duration of the stay.

Perfect SB vacation studio
Fabulous location for walking, riding bikes. SOOOO close to beach, and easy to get to Wharf, State Street, Montecito . Only minus is the Shower needs new Lever, VERY difficult to turn on! The windows are old but charming..... we had to remove a screen to open and close the awning window, though easily accomplished.

There were hair and crumbs under the sheets in both beds, TONS of hair in the shower and even hair in the freezer. Absurdly disgusting. Customer service refused to come clean it even to drop off new sheets until the following day,obviously a moot point if we had to sleep in the bed anyway. No one ever got back to me and I ended up spending the rest of my vacation at a nearby hotel.. The room itself seemed safe enough and quiet but is in desperate need of updating. Less of a historical house, more of an outdated suite. Only thing good about the place was the closeness to the beach.

Great location, cute room, bathroom needs upgrade
We loved the airy, clean room. It was a quick walk to the beach, and very quiet--punctuated by the occasional train passing by, which we did not mind at all. The room was well decorated and comfy and my husband and I both worked and held Zoom meetings with no problem. I even did a few from the shared patio outside. The bathroom was a bit shabby compared to the rest of the room, but overall I would return.
