Girl weekend success
We had a great weekend at the house and enjoyed our time in Santa Barbara! As the reviews say, the kitchen is pretty minimal. The coffee pot needs to be cleaned, could use more towels in kitchen and bathrooms, and there was trash outside/leaves all over the patio. All in all would stay here again!

Rose Mar review
Check in was easy, however the advertised three car garage would only fit one car due to the "junk" strewn thoughout. One bedroom had no lamp, entry hall lamp did not work, missing light bulbs from other lamps. NO FRYING PAN - HAD TO BUY ONE FOR BREAKFAST ON THE FIRST MORNING. Poorly equipped kitchen - glassware and appliances were not great. Only one TV for a house that fits 10 people. Backyard was too dirty to use. Will never stay here again!
We have stayed in VRBO homes throughout the country and this does not live up to the standards (or the price) for VRBO. VRBO should be checking on properties.

Fantastic property!
The house was absolutely wonderful. The beds were comfortable and there was ample space for our group. The ping pong table was a hit as well as the hot tub. Check in and checkout were very simple and the host was easy to connect with. Last but not least, the nature reserve area behind the house was beautiful for a walk to view the ocean and natural wooded area. There was a very short drive to the nearest market and only slight bit further to the downtown areas. I highly recommend staying at this property!

Unique location for active family getaway
Even with the hurricane, my family was cozy, safe and enjoyed everything about our stay. Loved the location in the neighborhood, where we walked the nature park and down the stairs to the beach every morning, then just a 10min drive in to downtown. Great living space for our multi-couple family with young kids. We each had our own comfortable bedroom, enjoyed the spacious family room and sitting area in the backyard (especially the hot tub). We even had a chef-catered dinner one night in the spacious kitchen and were thankful for the extra chairs available to fit all 8 of us at the dining table. We travelled from a variety of places to be together and this comfortable stay made it that much sweeter. Appreciated the active communication from our host to make our trip smooth and enjoyable.

Great home, beautiful location
The best part about this property was the close walk to the beautiful beach and cliffs, absolutely spectacular views. We had plenty of room for 2 families and everything was in great condition. Short drive to restaurants and downtown.

Wow! We are always leary about VRBO properties, but not this one! All photos told us what we were getting and they are true! Comfortable living areas, comfortable beds, clean and easy process. Great location and Diana worked with us wonderfully as we celebrated 2 birthdays. Thanks for a wonderful family adventure!

Worst VRBO ever!!!!!!
There were no kitchen cleaning supplies to work with. No foil or plastic wrap or baggies which we have always had in our 7 other stays. We had to hunt for toilet paper and towels, and we had a small supply of wash cloths. I called the owner but got no reply back. There is an ant problem in the kitchen and bathrooms. No curtains on the door(which was all glass) and front window. The house is on a well traveled street with people walking to the beach and pathways. I would never recommend this place and for sure would never stay there. I think it is outrageous the amount we had to pay for basically sleeping accomodations!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great location
We had a girls weekend at the property and it was lovely. The house was perfect size and nobody had complaints about the beds. Very cute house. We didn't use the hot tub but it looked clean when we opened it. The house was a just a minute walk to the cliff trails overlooking the ocean.

Cleanliness issue - ants & spiders
This is a beautiful place in a great community & great location. The beach and walking trail are walking distance from the house, and local grocery and stores are less than 2 miles away.
However, we did have a big cleanliness issue with this house. At the time of arrival, we found many spiders in living room, kitchen, and bed rooms. We had to get bug spray to get rid of it. Then we found so many ants throughout the rooms (kitchen cabinets, living room, kitchen, bedrooms). while we were sleeping we found ants crawling on our bed, and in our bath towels. we didn’t have any food near us, and the rooms were all kept cleaning. The bugs situation really made our stay uneasy.

Almost there
We enjoyed our stay here overall! The home was comfortable and clean, but there were a few things that could use some work. There are no window coverings in the living room and the window that faces directly onto the street. The twin beds seem like they might be broken with a large hump in the middle of the mattress. Lastly, the kitchen could use more cooking equipment. But it’s a great location, comfortable, and we had a wonderful time
