Great location

Location could not be better and the owner was accommodating for an early check in and easy communication. Property could use some freshening with paint and outdoor seating/patio is in a parking lot. Worked out well for easy access to the beach and restaurants/shopping.

Great summer vacation in Santa Barbara

Ideal appartment for vacation in Santa Barbara. Short distance to the beach and only short but very nice walk under the palm trees to the board walk. Car parking in the neighborhood without problems. We enjoyed it very much and would certainly come back.

Great location

The location was perfect for a 15 minute walk to the promenade. However it should be noted that the A/C was just a selection of fans so it can get quite hot inside and the whole place could benefit from a deep clean and a lick of paint. We were comfortable enough though.

We enjoyed the property. The proximity to the beach and food was spot on! We literally walked to the beach each day! Inside the property is a bit dated, could use a fresh coat of paint and a professional cleaning! There were lots of spiderwebs

Location can't be beat

This is a nice one bedroom apartment a block from the East Beach. The apartment is well stocked with linens and towels and can handle additional sleepers in the living room. The kitchen is also well stocked with cookware, utensils and spices. The location is great and we went on beach walks every morning. There are two excellent restaurants within a 3 minute walk (Reunion on the beach, Convivo at a nearby Inn). There is also a very nice grocery store within 2 minutes walking. We found nearby street parking everytime which you might not expect at a location so close to the beach.

Relaxed beach vacation

My sister and I wanted a place near East Beach so we could easily walk everywhere. The place isn't fancy but clean and very comfortable. The neighborhood feels safe and is very quiet. I really appreciated the good quality beach chairs, towels, and umbrella available for our use. Tri County Produce is just 2 blocks away and has all the basics. Next time I won't even rent a car (even though it was no problem finding street parking). We enjoyed walking on the bike path to get coffee and then setting up at the beach with our chairs. Our goal was rest and relaxation and this low key place was perfect. We'll be back!

The neighborhood was nice and quiet, very close to the beach and other places but we recommend to fix a few things like shower curtain rod (kept falling), carpet needs cleaning or replacement, towels seem very old too. Other than that kitchen is really nice and practical.
