We reserved this rental 2.5 months in advance of our travel date, but the company altered our rental agreement just 5 days before our stay. This forced an earlier checkout than originally agreed upon and disrupted our travel logistics. On a positive note, the space itself was clean and roomy for two couples, and the property location was very convenient to State Street, the Funk Zone, and the beach.

Perfect location and very nice condo for our girls weekend.

Our trip was wonderful and the condo provided everything we needed. It was clean, cozy and nicely decorated. The outdoor patio was private and the perfect spot for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Lastly, the neighborhood was very walkable and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this property to my friends and family.

Beautiful home, great location. House was clean, lots of amenities, very comfortable. Close to beach and downtown. Jeannine’s was great for breakfast. Just an FYI for our-of-towners—Santa Barbara is not sunny in June! They call it the June Gloom. It was chilly! Would stay in this house again!
