Quiet residential neighborhood just minutes to the Funk Zone. Adorable, well maintained property loaded with character. We would definitely book this property again

Great location and charming home. The only downside was the internet service, which was quite poor. If internet had been something we had urgently needed, it would have been a true problem. Because we were taking a weekend away and were less in need of our devices, it posed more of an inconvenience but may be an issue for other/future users of this property.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the bungalow was very comfortable and convenient to the ocean, wharf, restaurants and all activities we desired in Santa Barbara. I found the description completely accurate and ease of use A+. We’ll stay here next time if it’s available.

This house is absolutely lovely. We wish we could have stayed longer. It was exactly as described in the listing, if not better. It exceeded our expectations. It was in a charming neighborhood, close to restaurants, shops, the beach, and the train station, which was great as we arrived by train from LA. It was well-stocked with beach gear, which we used every day. The back patio was peaceful and we enjoyed sitting out in the evenings. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

This was a lovely house in a great location just a few blocks from the beach. Everything was clean and in good condition. The only thing that the listing didnt mention is that this is actually a duplex. The walls are thin and you can hear everything the neighbors are doing, even just walking around. It made it a bit tricky with a newborn and making sure nightime was quiet. Other than that, the property was wonderful.

This house was the perfect size and location for our week-long stay with 2 adults and a toddler. Very clean and had everything we needed (extra linens, towels, kitchen utensils, etc). Liked that we were able to park in the driveway. Easy walk to multiple beaches, restaurants, and children's museum. Appreciated the included wagon with beach chairs, toys, umbrella, etc for daily beach trips. Great patio for lounging and eating our meals.
Would definitely stay here again!

Great location and charming villa

Perfect in every way
The villa was a dream. Perfect location. Quaint and quiet neighborhood but just blocks from everything! I can’t wait to come back and stay at this property again.

Very Clean and Accurate Listing
Property was incredibly clean and matched exactly with what the listing stated. Instructions for check-in and check-out were clear and easy to follow. Bed was comfortable and bedroom was quiet making sleeping very comfortable. Unit was equipped with high chair, pack and play, and beach towels making traveling with a toddler very easy. Had one question for the owner that I sent through VRBO that I never got a response from - in the confirmation email there is another mode to contact them, recommend using that instead of going through VRBO.

Wonderful stay for a month
There was a little hitch I initially at check-in but Tiffany and her staff were able to jump in and accommodate us. The location in perfect and within walking distance to everything. The patio was nice on sunny days and the apartment was spacious and well appointed. For mobility challenged, know the seating is very low. The bed is very comfortable and the staff ready to assist. We would recommend this lovely home.

Quaint shared home bungalow
Enjoy funk zone in this bungalow, no need for central ac when you're this cool. Salt is extra but keep your your windows open and enjoy the scenery of beautiful Santa Barbara. These walls were thin and this is a shared home w no central ac . Aesthetically appealing and good spot in a pinch.

We stayed at this property in November 2020 and learned a major appliance was broken upon arrival. Although a property manager worked to ensure it would be replaced during our 6 day stay, the maintenance staff who came did not wear masks appropriately and we had to stay outside of the building for hours while it was installed. It left us feeling uncomfortable and then I had to email with property management for nearly two months to request an adjustment to the price, which they ultimately refused, after sending some shockingly rude emails to me. I have never experienced customer service like this from a property management company and would suggest the owner obtain a new company.The apartment was otherwise fine. It is a duplex so you can hear tenants in the other half of the building. The garden in the backyard is nice for hosting outdoor visitors during Covid times, but there is not adequate night-time lighting so it wouldn't work to host guests outdoors at night. The apartment was clean enough and the location is about a 10 minute walk from State Street.I would not stay here again given the very poor property management.

Location is good. Bed was comfortable. More towels would have been appreciated. Housekeeper should clean the fridge and freezer of previous guests half eaten food (cringe)Bottle caps and other debris found underneath living room furniture.Shower curtain fell down more than once; I think we fixed it.Remote control was super sticky to touch ( I would replace it )And the batteries died. We harvested batteries from another device found in a kitchen cabinet. These batteries were dying as well. I left a note for you regarding the batteries.Overall it was a pleasant experience.Hope this review was helpful.Best,

Perfect Santa Barbara Location
This quaint property is located blocks to the beach and the "Funk Zone", providing you with dining and shopping options. Fully outfitted home, made the stay easy. Add in the great beach cart filled with chairs, umbrella, cooler and toys, and a fun day at the beach was waiting. We will definitely return to this property.

A place to return to....
We were in West beach for 5 nights . Our apt. was in the best location. Friends lived close and we didn’t want to impose on them.
The backyard parking spot was a bonus. We walked to the ocean, restaurants and bars.
The first floor apt. had a comfy king bed, a separate dining room, and a kitchen that wins the “best stocked” award. There was not one kitchen item that we needed to buy. I actually came home & bought some kitchen items identical to our rental’s.
We def. plan to return. That’s the best recommendation any owner/renter wants.

We love West Beach in Santa Barbara and this property is perfect in every way. It is very clean and comfortable with plenty of space to relax both indoors and out. The house is in a quiet neighborhood with many trees on the property. It feels like home when you pull in the driveway.
There are many conveniences such as a full kitchen, dining room, Wi-Fi, on premise parking, close location to the beach, State Street, Yacht Harbor and the Funk Zone. We will definitely stay again!

Great home with character, perfect location on West Beach
We loved the house, it's a pre war (redwood beamed apparently) separated house with great interior details and an immaculate yard. The home has 2 units in it, we typically couldn't hear a peep from the other unit through the thick walls. Location is perfect, a few blocks to the beach walk and restaurants / funk zone all easily walkable. We stayed in 3 homes in SB and this was by the far the best experience.

Perfect House/Perfect Location
This beautifully restored home was perfect for our stay in Santa Barbara. The house is stylish and comfortable for a couple or a small group. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need both inside and out and is also well stocked for what you need for the beach.
The location is perfect as it’s easy to drive in any direction or walk along the water or into town.
We will certainly return.

Very nice place to stay, we loved the neighborhood! Very close to restaurants and beach!
The only thing was there was some tree cutting very early in the morning that woke us up. The noise from the train but loved the charming property and the proximity!

Location really couldn't be better...
Best SB trip we've had out of ~10 trips the last 4 years. The location is fantastic, the neighborhood will make you look up real estate prices (and then laugh and move on with your day), beach is close, tons of food & drink & culture close, really couldnt be a better spot for an SB trip.

Amazing location & home!
The home is in a great location, walking distance to the beach, funk zone, state st, etc. It was very clean and it’s so beautifully decorated! My high maintenance boyfriend said how comfy the bed was, which almost never happens :) Will definitely stay again!

It is a beautiful home
We love this home. We are totally pleased and will come again.
