We really enjoyed staying at this house. House was very nice and clean. Well appointed with items that we didnt even know about. Kitchen was stocked well. Eating places nearby was very helpful and grocery stores nearby also saved the day. Walking to the beach parks were nice in the evenings. The neighborhoods themselves were just nice to walk. Quiet place. Landscaper came on Monday, just as owners had told me but kept to himself and didnt come super early to wake us up. Showers were really nice. I was worried about no air conditioning but weather was fantastic, we could open windows, ceiling fan in master helped, and oscillating fans in other rooms were utilized. Washer and dryer was used everyday. We had a great vacation here.

Impressive Stay!

Even though it was our fault we did not realize this property did not have AC, it was a great stay! Opening some of the windows and turning on the fans really helped. We enjoyed our stay! Clean and so cute!

The place was perfect for our needs. Very clean & well appointed. The only thing that needed attention was the kitchen faucet. It needs replaced! Doesn’t move & water barely comes out. A hair dryer in bathroom would also be nice. Thank you for a great visit!!

Location, Location, Location!

This home is perfect for a stay with family or friends. Close to everything. Walk to groceries, massage, coffee shop, and a few restaurants. The bikes were awesome for getting to the Preserve for a walk, ride to the waterfront or the steps at Mesa. We'd definitely come back! Also, the property management team was extremely prompt and helpful with any of our questions.

GREAT Location

Great location. Walk to stores, coffee shops, restaurants. Beach gear in garage with bikes. Property Manager responds quickly if you have any questions or concerns. Small improvement could be a towel rack in the primary bathroom, there is no where to put your towel when you shower. We were sad to leave and can't wait to be back!

Great Place. The Mesa has everything

We grew up in SB and have lived on Palisades when we were younger! The location is perfect! We love the Boathouse and Shoreline cafe so really easy to get to. The house perfect for our kids to run and play. I would recommend this property to everyone. If I had to say anything that was a con, it would be the water in the master bedroom took a long time to heat up. And that wasn’t a big deal at all. Love the property!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this Santa Barbara house with the grassy backyard and patio, perfect for outdoor dining. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, just a short drive from Hendry's Beach and the yummy Boathouse restaurant in one direction and downtown, wharf, and zoo in the other. The house was comfortable with great decor, well stocked with dishes/cookware in good condition and very clean but could have used minor repairs to the kitchen faucet (clogged head and neck wouldn't swivel) and bath faucets (clogged head/missing handle). We appreciated the ceiling fans and windows with screens, so we could open them for ocean air/nature sounds without the bugs getting in or having to turn on the AC. The master shower was great, as were niceties like toiletries, kleenix, and reading lamps in the bedrooms. Smart TV was fine but recommend getting an antenna so guests can enjoy local stations too. The laundry center and basket was very appreciated, as we didn't have to pack as much on our trip. At check-in, we were informed by the mgmt co. that the fridge was not cooling properly, and we should use the mini fridge in the garage. The next day a small fridge was delivered to the kitchen for our stay. Although we would have liked earlier notice and the situation was inconvenient, the mgmt co. communicated often and provided a solution in a timely manner, which we appreciated. Overall, we had a fun and relaxing time and recommend Casa Vistosa to all.

Excellent location, relatively quiet neighborhood (dogs and suburban sounds of leaf blowers), lovely home that feels more spacious than the square footage would indicate. Quick response to a few minor issues. We'd gladly stay again should the opportunity arise.

Adorable house and perfect location

The house was amazing. It actually seemed bigger in person than it did online. Perfect location. Literally a 2 minute walk from the grocery store, starbucks, food/restaurants and right by the beach. There were a couple of maintenance issues but the property manager handled them with grace and urgency. I cannot wait to come back to SB to stay here again.
