The house was exactly what we needed for our weekend stay. It was close to the wedding venue. Easy access to freeway. What caught my interest was it “walking distance to beaches”. That’s true if you’re a young person who likes to walk a ways. I thought it was literally down the street but you have to cross over a freeway. I gave 4 stars because it is not suitable for light sleepers as it is between a busy street and freeway. Otherwise no complaints.

This was the perfect home for our family’s quick getaway. . It was spacious and had all of the amenities that we needed to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. Communication with the property manager was very easy and we appreciate their quick responses.

My family stayed here for my daughter’s graduation from UCSB. It was very convenient to have all relatives attending the graduation in one house. With every room having an attached bath, it was easy to get ready. The beds were comfortable. The drive to Santa Barbara and Isla Vista is not bad and the price was reasonable. Owner was responsive and nice. Lots of amenities for the beach and a nice backyard. It is located on a busy street, but we used the shoulder to back onto the driveway, making it easier to get out.

We so enjoyed this lovely home with four bedrooms and a bathroom for every room. It was so easy to reach the owners with a couple of questions, who themselves happened to be in Hawaii babysitting their grandchildren. I only have a couple of suggestions for safety and comfort. The futon in the downstairs bedroom needed to have a comfortable topping for the mattress because futons notoriously are pretty uncomfortable to sleep on. The other thing for safety would be gripper strips or rubber pads in the tubs as they were very slippery and had no safety bars to hang on to.( I am an older adult, so this was important). We had an absolutely amazing fun time with our family and thank the owners very much for sharing their home with us! Oh, – – – we also saw our first polo match which happened to be a final, and was less than a mile away. So much fun!!

The property had everything we needed to comfortably rest and get ready for our wedding!

My oldest daughter was getting married and we had two of our other daughters and two grandchildren with us. The 4 bathrooms came in handy when getting ready. The house was equipped with more than expected with cooking and service utensils and serving platers and bowls. Lots of little extras such as popcorn, hot chocolate and tea. We enjoyed our stay had plenty of room and the house seemed as we were in our own home. Thank you Leo and Tia Blickley we had a spectacular 4 days.

This location was perfect for us and the home was spacious enough for everyone. Communication was very easy and responsive.

Our family really appreciated having so much space for our stay. We needed a place for two weeks with our dog and our kids, and everyone enjoyed it. My husband was able to work from the office desk downstairs, the dog enjoyed the backyard and beach nearby, and the kids enjoyed the big living room and tv. The laundry was convenient, the kitchen was well stocked with tools, and most importantly there was a bottle of wine :) The one room facing the freeway was a little louder at night than the others, although the kids did not care and we used sound machines. We’d definitely go back.

We stayed 4 days and 4 nights at this place, costing 3K. The place was reasonably clean but the carpets had stains and the walls too. The place definitely can use a fresh coat of paint. Fixtures, furniture, linens, towels and everything else is very dated and average at best. The kitchen was not well stocked - no ziplock bags or Saran Wrap or Aluminum foil. We had to get coffee, sugar. There were left over cookies and tea bags from who knows when in the kitchen cabinets. One set of place mats was old and warped. The trash bins in the bathroom were without liners. The front and back yards were nicely landscaped
and pretty

Reasonable place for 6-7 people close to Santa Barbara/Carpinteria
LOCATION: on higher speed arterial behind a freeway not great for aesthetics, but it is easy to access for car/bike outings, while not great for walking. Freeway noise is tolerable.
The rooms are convenient, including main floor bedroom w/ futon for avoiding stairs.
VIBE/SETUP: functional & pleasant enough but not going for a "destination" feel. While mostly "as advertised" a few thing were not quite accurate/inadequate: utensils/flatware/dinnerware were spartan in places (few flatware items – needed to hand wash before using dishwasher), missing scraper/spent spatulas/etc, no garlic press, tho specialty items like mixer were there. We had to buy foil, saran wrap, etc.. The master suite was described as having a "Jacuzzi tub". It was neither Jacuzzi brand nor jetted.
CLEANLINESS: weakest point. Sheets/comforters visibly soiled in downstairs bedroom - we had to wash. Similarly, we had to hand wash numerous few plates/utensils ourselves. Insides of bdrm drawers were dusty, so we spent some time dusting things so that we could put our clothes in the drawer and not have them get dirty. Wall-to-wall carpeting upstairs is "tired". Bathrooms not all stocked w/ TP but we found from other places. We should have asked for a break in cleaning fee.
OTHER: providing charging, beach toys, basic bikes = nice. Correspondence w owners good at times, but not responded to at others (e.g. when alerted to cleanliness issues).

Excelente place with lots of space, perfect location to visit different places in the area

The house is large and comfortable. The ev charger is a nice bonus. Kitchen is well stocked. The only downside is that it is right on the freeway and we could hear the cars at night. Not too loud but noticeable. The location is between carp and Summerland so you can’t easily walk to anything. 5 min drive.

Great place to stay for a beach trip

The Toro Canyon home was perfect for us. Close to relatives and super easy access. Spacious and well appointed. Renters should be prepared for highway and frontage road sounds and road lighting. Would recommend!

We travelled to Santa Barbara from Oregon with two other couples to celebrate the wedding of very close friends.This was a great location for the weekend festivities on the beach and in Montecito.The weather was perfect and all our needs were met with what time we spent at the house.Everyone slept well in spite of the late night traffic which did not seem to bother any of us.
4.8
This is a convenient location even though the freeway is closeby you really can’t hear it. The property is spacious with all the creature comforts. The owner also allows you to use some of their personal recreational items! We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.

A wonderful cozy house with plenty of space to relax in between beaches trips and visits to downtown Santa Barbara.

The six of us felt the accommodations were great for our needs. Nice to have four bathrooms and a fully outfitted kitchen. Deck and front yard are lovely.
Street noise took some getting used to given the desire to have open windows to catch the breeze.

The four bathrooms were very good to have. Recommend better maintenance of home - specially kitchen (did not show like a newer home). Overall good stay.

A wonderful, fully equipped house, that makes six guests feel at home. The house has a new feel to it and isn't far from downtown Carpinteria.

Family gathering for college graduation. House was very spacious, clean and well stocked. It was a great stay!
4.8
This house was perfect for our family of six. There were four bedrooms each with its own bathroom. The community space was plenty big for not only us but our two dogs. Although it was close to the freeway we did not hear the traffic. Getting on and off the freeway to head to Santa Barbara was very easy. We also went to a dog beach about two miles away that had a convenient dog bathing facility. If you are looking for something in or near SB this place works great.
4.8
The space was exactly as expected and was perfect the perfect size and space for our group. Plus, this allowed us all to stay together (we all live in different states) affordably instead of renting separate hotel rooms.
4.8
The house was perfect! We each had our own bedroom with private bathroom. We had dinners in the dining room where we could talk and laugh together. It was a quick drive to the wedding venue in Santa Barbara. The owners were so nice!

Soooo easy, first time I’ve ever done a VRBO rental….the house was lovely and the amenities were more than adequate. The garage door opener we were unable to locate but the upstairs neighbor helped us with that…. We shall be back!

We did a mom and daughter trip for my daughter's 11th birthday, this place met all our needs!

Stayed here for my daughter’s basketball tournament. Nice big house with all the amenities. Nice backyard to hang out. Easy to get on and off the freeway. Had a small issue and the owners and they were quickly responsive. Price was equal to staying at a decent hotel in the area. This was much more preferable.

Great stay

Home is very comfortable. Easy access to major highway. Each of the four bedrooms has its own bathroom! Like the floor plan as it is open and has a lot of nature light. Good value for the money.
4.8
Great location, although it is on a busy street and backs to the freeway so there is road noise. We really appreciated that each bedroom has it's own bathroom which made it great for all of us getting ready for a big family wedding

Really spacious house with all the needed amenities in a great location (just a few minutes from Santa Barbara and Montecito). It was nice having a bathroom for every room! The cleaning felt a little rushed and we saw a lot of ants in the master bathroom.

We visited for a family wedding and had a great time. Very spacious and as described. We really appreciated the portable air conditioner for the heat wave. Plan to stay again!

Everyting was excellent...inside the home! Traffic patterns and noise are a minus due to heavy HWY construction outside but inside the home is well worth the stay for the extra space and the locations has easy access to the beach. I would stay again. Thank you, Leo and Jade!
