This is a well appointed condo in a beautiful location right on the Ellwood Mesa Preserve and Devereux Slough. Will definitely go back!

The condo looks out onto a newly created refuge. The Pacific ocean lies beyond. Very peaceful, with lots of bird activity. All amenities: well stocked kitchen, comfy bedrooms and baths, lots of closet space.

My family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) stayed in this beautiful place for 5 weeks this summer for work at UCSB. The owners were excellent and helpful, providing extra information on restaurants, hiking trails, etc. and easy to communicate with. The unit itself was perfectly set up - light and airy, beautifully decorated, and well appointed (towels, sheets, kitchen). Beds were great and it felt like home away from home. The neighborhood was fun for all of us and we met some really great families, pool/spa area was well kept and clean, and all in all a fantastic place to stay. We rode bikes to campus, went for walks/bike rides/runs to beach, strolled to restaurants, etc. Easy living and would love to stay here again for work or play!

I was a little reluctant to write this review because I wanted to keep this place to myself. But as my wife and I have gotten to know the owners, who we like very much, it seemed only fair to them to let other people know how great this place is. Suffice it to say that we love the place. We come here often and would be loathe to stay elsewhere. Bring you bicycles. You can ride down to the beach or along the beach cliffs - spectacular. The Ellwood Preserve is also a great attraction. Shopping is bicycle close.

I stayed here a month to be close to my father who is in a nursing home in Goleta. The owners were really nice and helpful. It's a lovely place with great sunlight and a backyard that overlooks a nature preserve with walking/riding trails. The house is fully equipped (e.g., washer and dryer, coffee maker, internet, basic TV with on demand). It's located in a townhouse development about a mile or so from the main shops/supermarket. Goleta is fairly low key, not far from downtown Santa Barbara. There is a public beach nearby and the UCSB is a short drive away. I would definitely stay here again.

We highly enjoyed our stay in this house. It is lovely situated on the edge of a former golf course and it is only about 15 minutes walk away to an almost lonely beach. The garden is small but nicely equipped and the view on the easily accessible nature reserve is great. The owners are a very nice and helpful family. The neighborhood is very friendly and quiet, and our kids thoroughly enjoyed the community pool. Shops are just around the corner, good to reach even without a car. All in all an uncomplicated, pleasant stay which we greatly enjoyed and would always return to if the occasion arises.

My wife and I stayed here for 10 weeks, while we were working at a research program at UCSB. The condo is both beautiful and comfortable, and we really enjoyed it. I especially liked the view of the open nature area right behind the condo, and took many long walks there. The condo is conveniently located near a shopping center with a supermarket and several restaurants, and it's just 2-3 miles from UCSB. I definitely recommend it for university visitors and for vacationers!

This was exactly what we were looking for during our last trip to the Santa Barbara area. We really enjoyed our morning coffee on your patio. So beautiful and so peaceful. I was nice to get away from our busy lives and enjoy the tranquility of your Condo. I think that was the first time in month's I can reminder sitting outside and reading the morning paper, I felt like I didn't have a care in the world. The Condo was so clean, and the Owner was a joy to work with, We will be back!!

I'd like to thank you for your part in making our month in your area so memorable. Your condo was very convenient to near by shops, restaurants, and a theater. The condo furnishings are charming and it was so clean and well cared for. I loved being able to sit outside on the patio that overlooks the Preserve. Not only the birds abound, but one morning a coyote was out there! It was one of our most peaceful and restful vacations! We'll be back! Thanks!!!

The house looks out on a park belonging to UC Santa Barbara. The park is open to the public. One can walk across to the beach. We had a lovely time there over Christmas. Weather was magnificent. House is fully equipped. Owner is very helpful and visited us to make sure all was in order.

I stayed at this condo for a month while my house was being remodeled. It is a great location with lots of restaurants and shopping near by. Mary was very nice and helpful and I would recommend it highly.

I love this place! This condo has everything anyone could want. It is clean and fully stocked. The garden is beautiful. We have stayed in the area before and was, at first, saddened to hear of the closing of Ocean Meadow Golf Course. However, I enjoyed the new opportunity of walking trails from the back door out to the Devereux Slough and beach. Our favorite walk was the "pond trail". We loved parking the car and walking and biking where we needed to go (except Costco - while it is close enough to walk/bike to, it is getting home with your purchases that is the problem!) A short flat bike ride to the University (10 minutes) making for a very pleasant commute. We also found a new restaurant that we really enjoy- ItSuki which we would ride our bikes to. The farmers market, on Sundays and Wednesdays was also a favorite.

I rented for two months. The condo was equiped with everything we needed except for our own clothes and toiletries. It worked well for my family of four with a 12 and 15 year old sharing the second bedroom. They enjoyed the pool and the house, including cable TV (which we don't have at home) and wireless. House is on golf course with very nice views of a flower filled garden and nature preserve beyond the golf course. It's an easy walk to mall with lots of stores and great farmer's market twice a week. Beach and University (where I visited) are quite close. Very close to convenient bike paths. We'll definitely inquire for availability when we visit again.

Loved this condo. It was just right for the 2 of us. Grandkids came to visit for a couple of days so neighbors with children were a big asset. Very pet friendly. Fun golf couse. Owners very, very nice and accomadating. Would stay again.

Thank you for creating such a comfortable place for my visiting parents. It was nice to have them close by and in such a clean, quiet and convenient accommodations. Your condo had everything they needed and our kids enjoyed the second bedroom for sleep overs with Grandma and Grandpa.

My husband and I just spent a month in this lovely condo right on the golf course. We had a very comfortable and relaxing stay. Being in Goleta was perfect for us. The condo is actually fairly close to the ocean so we were able to take a nice walk there several times. The garden is beautiful and peaceful with lots of birds. The condo is nicely furnished with comfortable bed and all the amenities we needed. Close to grocery store, Costco and a large park and in a well-maintained and quiet family-type complex. We would definitely go back again.

The condo is in very good condition, clean and well maintained. The location is extremely convenient, close to parks, shopping and facing a beautiful golf course. The owners were always helpful in answering questions and addressing potential concerns. A shopping center, with a supermarket and several small places to eat, is within walking distance.

Thank you so much for a great vacation. The condo was sunny, beautifully furnished (not that typical vacation rental decor), original artwork and had comfy beds. It had everything we could have wanted. It was close to the University, shops, movie theater and restaurants . We especially enjoyed Kahuna Grill and Sushi Ai. Walking trails to the beach were close by and golf out the back door! We enjoyed sitting on the patio in the evening watching the sunset as the golfers finished up on the green (we occasionally would hear "fore"). The pool was warm and hot tub toasty. The owners were very helpful when we had questions. We would recommend this unit and plan on staying here again in the future.
