Great host and great location close to downtown Santa Barbara and the beach! We walked nearly the entire time we were there and rarely had to use a car. The Mission is also within walking distance to the house. Ideal location for families or couples visiting the area!

Great location, street parking only so pay attention to signs (this is normal for downtown SB though!), lots of space in the living room and natural light! We didn’t get a chance to use it but the outdoor space was really cute and private. Amy was also really easy to get in touch with when we had a couple of questions.

Check in was seamless. The space was clean and larger than expected based on the photos. The kitchen is on the small side but serviceable (and the space in the main room makes up for that). Some traffic noise as it's on a busy street, but not an excessive amount. Barely noticeable with windows closed. The host is kind and communicative.

This house is beautiful with 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, dining area and a patio/backyard that is completely fenced in and very private. Everything was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The location is great, just a short drive to the beach/pier and lots of restaurants/shopping. Amy was a great host and responded quickly. My family and I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect place for my wife, dog, and me to spend a long weekend. We parked our car and didn't move it the whole time. The house is walking distance to everything we needed and super comfortable to just hang out in. The only hiccup was that it wasn't very clear which towels were available for us to use, but the host was quick to respond and help us sort that out.

GREAT EVERYTHING at this DT SANTA BARBARA GEM!

We loved EVERYTHING about this place! The little loft was a perfect place for our 4th grade boys to enjoy while we came to complete their Mission Project and see Old Santa Barbara Mission. I brought my friend and her son (our boys go to school together). PERFECT EVERYTHING. I went to UCSB so I'm familiar with SB and surrounding areas so I was excited to see this was a PERFECT SPOT before booking you can't find a better spot. You can walk to everything and it's perfect. The pictures do not do this place JUSTICE. It is SO CUTIE! The decor, comfy beds, clean bathroom and cute little courtyard surrounding the house was perfect for morning coffee before we hit the mission and beach! The best beach (Leadbetter) is just a short drive away! Amy is very helpful and I can't wait book her place for another visit!

Management Failed

The delayed check-in was an unexpected and disappointing surprise for my family of three. In advance of our stay, I had reached out to Amy (the property manager) to request a 2:00 PM check-in, explaining that we are cyclists and would be arriving after a long day on the saddle. It was also my birthday week, and I was looking forward to celebrating during our stay. Amy responded that the home would be ready by 2:00 PM and asked me to message her the day before to confirm— which I did. She assured me everything would be ready.Unfortunately, upon arrival, we found dirty sheets on the floor, towels still in the washer, and the home had clearly not been cleaned from the prior guests. I immediately communicated this to Amy. With her permission, we agreed my family would shower and go out for dinner while the place was cleaned. Despite being tired and hungry after a 4-hour ride, I messaged her again as we left, letting her know that no cleaning crew had arrived yet.Amy called several times while we were getting ready—once to offer oranges and again to suggest dining options, even after I had told her we already had plans to dine at a nearby restaurant. Although I appreciated the gesture, it became somewhat intrusive.After dinner, we returned and stayed outside while the home was finally cleaned—by 5:30 PM. Amy later told us the property had been vacant for two days prior to our arrival, which made the oversight more frustrating. At that point, it felt more like a management error.

Wedding Weekend

My dad and I attended my cousin's wedding. The location of the home was great. The only issues I had but did not affect our stay was that the door lock did not work when we were leaving and parking was a small issue. My dad can't walk that far and if parking wasn't available outside the front gate we had to work around that issue. But most of the time parking was available. Communication with the owner was great and the owner was responsive. We enjoyed our stay.

Cool Property, have to wash your sheets

The place had a cool mid century vibe but with updated appliances & bathroom. Everything was clean and in good condition. Loved the closeness to the town center and shops. A mirror wasn’t secured on the wall very well and fell and broke after bumping into it. Which was a bummer. But, it didn’t ruin my stay. Will definitely stay here again given a chance. And would recommend it to anyone who’s willing to wash their own sheets and dishes.

Two bedroom (both good sized) unit was roomy, clean, and close to central Santa Barbara. Everything was straightforward—check in, lights, heat, shower, appliances, etc. Not a single “How does this work“ moment. Amy was immediately responsive to all emails. Highly recommended

Great location

Amy was very responsive and even allowed my family to have a late check out which was so appreciated. It was in a great location and close to State Street. Property does not sleep 5 but Amy allowed us to bring an air mattress. Property could be better equipped such as having paper towels or toaster in the kitchen.
