Cold weekend
The weather was unseasonably cold. The small heater in the unit was not able to keep up. Contacted the owner and they supplied an additional heated that made it more comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.

Lovely place short walk to the beach.
This rental was perfect for me! I enjoyed the short walk to the private beach to see the sunset each nt. The rental is also close to great hiking and biking trails. Durning low tide you can walk as far as you can see down the beach. The unit was clean and comfortable. I enjoyed having a separate room with the tv couch and kitchenette. Host family was very accommodating and responded promptly to questions. I hope to stay again in the future!

Quiet, close proximity to Santa Barbara and Goleta
Our daughter goes to UCSB and we wanted to stay nearby but not in a cookie cutter hotel. This place fit our criteria and much more. The place is just right for the two of us and our medium sized dog. The neighborhood is very, very nice and private access to the beach is just down the street. We would stay there again and again.

Very pleasant
Only drawbacks are that cooking is limited to a microwave and you will hear an airplane take off early morning,daily.
Otherwise, very quiet and tranquil. Right by the ocean.
I will stay again. Super close to everything yet feels secluded. Small but comfortable. Bike path to the beach just down the road.

Great location in Goleta
This was a great find in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood with covered parking and private beach access. The property contacts were great with responding and providing info on check in/check out. The house was super cute, comfortable, and dog-friendly. I brought my Boston Terrier with me and we had the best time, especially at the beach! At my time of stay, the extras they had provided were shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face wash, beach towels, coffee pods, mini-moos, and sugar packets. I asked if there would be a blender or tea kettle and they provided both! The kitchenette really only has space for heating up food in the microwave and maybe making a hot drink, but the fridge/freezer is full-size so that was nice! The best part for me was the price, as this was cheaper than some of the hotels in the area and I was able to maintain my lifestyle (diet, exercise, dog) more comfortably there than the hotels.

Love Santa Barbara
The property is exactly as pictured, a cute attached unit with separate bathroom and bedroom. Everything we needed was there and very clean. The private beach is awesome! Just a 3 minute walk then down the path to the beach. There was only one other person there besides us. Beautiful view! James was great, it was easy to check in and out. We had to leave early and he was very gracious.

Short but beautiful stay
Owner was constantly in contact and provided everything we needed. Beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood with private beach access. Bathroom supplies were plentiful and towels and bedding as well. Was a bit difficult to find as we got there very late at night but once we found the neighborhood it was quite easy. Great place to stay if you’re looking for a place in beautiful SB.

cute little studio
my husband and I had a comfortable and quick stay in this cute little studio space. The shower has perfect temp and water pressure; and the access to the private beach was such a bonus! The double bed was a little small for the two of us to share, but we knew that going into it... not sure a larger bed could fit into the bedroom space or not! Thanks again for a lovely stay!

Beautiful, clean, great location!
My favorite VRBO I’ve stayed in. I have rental units so I appreciate a clean well stocked VRBO. The location is a few blocks to a private beach surrounded by luxury homes. The Host James was really communicative, I had everything I needed and was very comfortable. I’ll be back again real soon!
