Amazing host in an awesome location

Kelly was one of the best hosts I’ve ever had on VRBO - very proactive, responsive and willing to go the extra mile to make sure our stay was extra special. Her house is in a great location - walking distance to a park with a beach but far enough from the downtown to have nice quiet nights with the kids. 100% would stay here again and recommend you to as well. Thanks Kelly!

Great home away from home

This was a great rental property for our five day stay in Santa Barbara. Communication with Kelly was seamless and she was very responsive. The location was excellent - short walk to the beach and beachside restaurants, short drive to town. The home itself was spacious and well-stocked with several nice touches not often found in rentals (e.g. shower caps, hair ties, full-size lotions). The kitchen was probably the best we've ever had in a VRBO. We like the flexibility of being able to cook some of our meals, so it was a treat to be able to come home from the farmers market and cook dinner with proper equipment and supplies! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would gladly come back.

Best place to be

We came for a work trip/vaca and really loved Santa Barbara. We were a short walk to the park at the end of the street and took the stairs down to the beach. Santa Barbara was amazing and would recommend it for anyone to visit with nice beaches, walking areas, restraints. The property itself was a nice quiet, spacious getaway for me and my family. We would definitely stay here again.

We had the best time!

The location was fantastic. We were able to walk to the beach, the coffee shops, restaurants, State street etc. Very well located. The home was perfectly appointed with many little extras that made our stay very comfortable. It was clean and welcoming right from the start. Our hosts were easy to reach and communications were smooth and simple. We would definitely recommend this property to friends and family and we look forward to returning again soon

Great Place for Family Weekend

This property was prettier in person than in the pictures. We also loved the privacy from the wall of bushes in the front yard to the very high fences all around, so you can't see any neighbors or people on the street. Beautiful rose garden in the front and lots of places to sit inside and on the outside patios. Just a short walk to watch the sunset on the ocean and enjoy the park and harbor. Perfect location. And Kelly was great! Very responsive and helpful. We'll definitely be back!

Graduation getaway

Wonderful place for 6 of us to stay while celebrating a graduation. The location is perfect…just a short walk to Shoreline park and Leadbetter Beach. The beds were extremely comfortable. Kelly was so attentive and thought of everything when supplying the house. And, the plants, including abundant succulents and roses, were gorgeous. We loved it!

Fabulous

The pictures don’t do this place justice! Had family fly in from the East Coast for my son’s UCSB graduation. This place was perfect. The hosts have thought of everything. The kitchen is outfitted and then some — better than home! We cooked, bbq’ed, had friends over… Thanks for an amazing stay! We’ll have many happy memories thanks to you.

Fabulous Santa Barbara Stay!

We had a fabulous time at the house! The location was fantastic. It was a short walk to the beach, and a short drive to downtown. The house was very comfortable with plenty of room for our family of four with one young adult and one teenage son. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfasts and dinners in. The host was very communicative and check in was a breeze. We’d love to stay here again!

Outstanding

We had a wonderful stay, and would not have wanted anything different. The hosts thought of every convenience including beach chairs, beach towels, extra flip flops, games, iron/ironing board, and coffee and tea, etc. The kitchen had all the right utensils and cooking pans (all well maintained), and the appliances were high quality. There was also nice touches that make a difference like fresh flowers which shows care for the home. The location was amazing—we loved that we could walk to Leadbetter beach, Stearns wharf, and other nearby places. It would be even more fun in the summer with the nice outdoor spaces at the house. We hope to come back sometime in warmer months. We’ve stayed in many VRBOs in nice places and Kelly is by far the best host. Highly recommend this home.

Great property, amenities and location! 5 Stars!

My family and friends rented this property for six nights. Our children were participating in a day camp at the zoo for the week. This home comfortably housed 3 adults and 2 children for the week. As a bonus, there were three serene outdoor patio areas where we could retreat to for “me time.” Plus, the amenities! Kelly has thought of every possible amenity you will ever need down to bottles of hair ties in the bathrooms. Oh, and the fresh flowers in each room were such a nice touch. The beach is easy to walk to (two short blocks), State Street and the zoo are close and easy to get to, and there are grocery stores a few minutes away. I highly recommend this property!

A Jewel on the Mesa

This is a fantastic property for visits to Santa Barbara area. Can walk down to Shoreline Park, the beach and Harbor. Easy to get to UCSB (we were here for graduation and move out). The house is beautifully decorated and well stocked. It is in a quiet neighborhood and so relaxing, we would have loved to just hang out at the house! Some of us used the outdoor shower - didn't get a chance to try the firepit. Beds were comfy. Appliances and fixtures new and modern. Oh - is was stocked with games and puzzles, too. Kelly was a wonderful host and very responsive. We will be back!
