SeaCliff - Pacifica - Breathe in the Santa Barbara Sea Air

8/10 Good

"Great Location, really enjoyed the stay.Easy walk thru the SBCC campus either to town, or the pier. We enjoyed the deck, great view of the ocean from the upper deck, enjoying evening times watching the sunset.Apartment was clean, and kitchen was very nice actually.I suppose the only little thing, is for the price per night, and the unbelievable cleaning fee, and the VRBO fees, the overall value due to the unit being older, was just OK. But beyond that, no issues......."
