The house was a dream to stay in. It was close to many stores and convenient to downtown SB. We were only a 10 minute drive away from the Santa Barbara courthouse where we attended a wedding. Thank you for everything.

We really enjoyed staying at this house. House was very nice and clean. Well appointed with items that we didnt even know about. Kitchen was stocked well. Eating places nearby was very helpful and grocery stores nearby also saved the day. Walking to the beach parks were nice in the evenings. The neighborhoods themselves were just nice to walk. Quiet place. Landscaper came on Monday, just as owners had told me but kept to himself and didnt come super early to wake us up. Showers were really nice. I was worried about no air conditioning but weather was fantastic, we could open windows, ceiling fan in master helped, and oscillating fans in other rooms were utilized. Washer and dryer was used everyday. We had a great vacation here.

Excellent location, relatively quiet neighborhood (dogs and suburban sounds of leaf blowers), lovely home that feels more spacious than the square footage would indicate. Quick response to a few minor issues. We'd gladly stay again should the opportunity arise.

The place was perfect for our needs. Very clean & well appointed. The only thing that needed attention was the kitchen faucet. It needs replaced! Doesn’t move & water barely comes out. A hair dryer in bathroom would also be nice. Thank you for a great visit!!

Adorable house and perfect location

The house was amazing. It actually seemed bigger in person than it did online. Perfect location. Literally a 2 minute walk from the grocery store, starbucks, food/restaurants and right by the beach. There were a couple of maintenance issues but the property manager handled them with grace and urgency. I cannot wait to come back to SB to stay here again.

Wonderful property! So comfortable and well equipped. We were a group of 5 and stayed for my son's graduation from UCSB. We were able to host a lovely family BBQ with 5 other family members to celebrate him and were so impressed by how stocked the kitchen was to host such an event. It was like being in my own kitchen. We were all able to spread out in the kitchen and lounge in the living room together. The owners have truly thought of everything to make a stay easy, and to have an enjoyable vacation in SB. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Location, Location, Location!

This home is perfect for a stay with family or friends. Close to everything. Walk to groceries, massage, coffee shop, and a few restaurants. The bikes were awesome for getting to the Preserve for a walk, ride to the waterfront or the steps at Mesa. We'd definitely come back! Also, the property management team was extremely prompt and helpful with any of our questions.

GREAT Location

Great location. Walk to stores, coffee shops, restaurants. Beach gear in garage with bikes. Property Manager responds quickly if you have any questions or concerns. Small improvement could be a towel rack in the primary bathroom, there is no where to put your towel when you shower. We were sad to leave and can't wait to be back!

Great Place. The Mesa has everything

We grew up in SB and have lived on Palisades when we were younger! The location is perfect! We love the Boathouse and Shoreline cafe so really easy to get to. The house perfect for our kids to run and play. I would recommend this property to everyone. If I had to say anything that was a con, it would be the water in the master bedroom took a long time to heat up. And that wasn’t a big deal at all. Love the property!

Great homebase for all our SB activities!

Our family stayed here while in Santa Barbara for a recent wedding. The various events and activities took place all over SB, but when mapped with Google, everything seemed to be 7 minutes away - the perfect, short drive. The house was clean and comfortable, great for relaxing with coffee in the morning or discussing the day's activities after dinner in the evening. (We didn't really use the kitchen much.) Everything about the wedding weekend was perfect, including this great home.
