It was a quaint little rental and was very clean. However, we wish the listing would have mentioned the age of the home and the fact that there is no A/C and that everyone here just opens their windows to cool the interior. We happened to come during a heat wave and were very hot our entire stay. I also have a very real fear of spiders so opening the windows without screens was not an option for me. The shower head was not working properly and needs replaced. The shower itself was so small that it could benefit from a removable showerhead to make it easier to bathe. Otherwise beautiful area and close to the beach and the owners were very friendly.
The place is located in a beautiful neighborhood two blocks from the Main Street where there are a ton of restaurants, coffee shops… Very close to the beach as well. The unit was very nice and quiet. There is a cool rooftop with seats and tables that you can relax on as well as some greens that you are welcome to harvest. Sandy is very friendly and made the whole process simple. Definitely recommend this spot.
We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was comfortable, well appointed and in a great location! 2 minute walk to the beach and dining. Easy stroll to the heart of State st. The roof top deck was perfect. We took dinner there several evenings. As a beginner gardener I really enjoyed the hydroponic towers. Having a daughter at UCSB, we have stayed in several locations in the area. Will definitely stay here again! Thank you so much!
Great location a couple of blocks from the beach and State St. shopping. Rooftop garden with lights was a perfect spot to enjoy Buena Onda empanadas (Argentina food) and McConnell’s ice cream.
Great location! State Street, West Beach, restaurants and wine tasting rooms. Sandy is awesome! Easy to work with and very responsive! We can’t wait to return!!
Had a great three nights. I appreciate Sandy's responsiveness when I had a few questions.
Incredible location, beautiful place, everything about it was great. Sandy was fantastic, helpful, and being there was a treat. i highly recommend this place.
Many items were inconsistent and incorrect in online information....parking passes bikes and beach chairs to name a few. Relaxing and enjoyable deck and rooftop area
Excellent place to stay, well located near the beach, shopping and nightlife. Cool house with rooftop patio and hydroponic garden. The only (slight) downside was the shower--a bit tight to navigate, but still workable. We very much enjoyed our time there.
Located in a lovely neighborhood, it's nice to be able to park your car and walk to the beach, restaurants and shopping. Then return to a clean cozy place for some relaxation. The roof top garden is a great additional option for putting up your feet. The only negative here was the size of the shower, small but doable.
My husband, our daughter, and I spent several days here, and we loved it. The one-bedroom unit was very comfortable and well-equipped, the building is convenient to the beach and the Funk Zone, and the rooftop garden and sitting area is delightful. We’d love to stay here again in the future!
