"Great apartment, fantastic location and has everything you need, including parking which can be tough by the beach. Had all the necessities and nicely furnished. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you!"

Beach front Sea Loft in Santa Barbara. Weekly discounts. Best beach sunsets!

10/10 Excellent

"I recommend better instructions on how to lock the door. I suggest; instead of stating "pull up on the handle" rephrase to "lift the door handle upwards in a counterclockwise direction", this action is needed to lock the door from the inside and outside."

Sunny Beach Condo - Late Aug-Sept Dates Available! - Steps to the Beach & Linden

8/10 Good

"Good parking. Great location to beach . Clean and well equipped . King bed needs to be replaced other than that everything was good. It’s an upstairs unit overlooking a lovely new pool area. If you are older you may not want the stairs . Overall it was very comfortable, except for king bed ."

Cottage by the Sea steps to beach with heated pool

8/10 Good

"Very friendly condo complex. Pool area was wonderful. Parking was easy. A very short walk to the beach (1 short block). Perfect weather. Host was easy to communicate with."

Steps from watching Sunsets in the Sand

8/10 Good

"The condo was clean and in close proximity to the beach and eateries. The condo was quite and felt very safe. It was nice to have a designated parking space, which made it so easy. The host was quick to answer questions. The only issue, it was very hot in the condo due to the weather. Unfortunately, because it is coastal, the condo does not have a/c, only fans. During the time we stayed it was particular hotter than normal, the fans did not seem to help with cooling the place down. However, I imagine that is not the norm. Usually, the coastal areas cool down during the evenings. I do encourage others to stay and enjoy their time at this condo."
