Everything was in walking distance and we never used our car during the stay. We used the bikes that are available with house to ride along the beach. ##### Karen G.

The process from booking to departure was smooth, friendly, and precise. There were clear instructions on how to get to the property and how to use everything in the apartment. The apartment was clean, fantastically stocked with kitchen equipment and we cooked every day. The position was perfect for tourists looking to walk or ride to either State Street or the pier. The only thing I would change is the bed which was too soft for our taste. ##### David K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer A. 2 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sumptuous velvet black-out drapes Divine. Slept so peacefully in this quiet sanctuary with private garden, fountain and barbecue situated just blocks from cafes, Funk Zone and State Street shopping. The kitchen was stocked with a wide array of spices, all appliances and every baking/cooking pan I could need. Dishes were fun pottery and antiques, enjoyed! There was both heat and AC!

It's one block to State Street's restaurants, bars, entertainment and shopping. The beach is just minutes away and there is a grocery store within a block. The newer "funk zone" with its wineries, brew pubs and interesting restaurants is just across 101 (easy walking distance). The property is attractive and clean. There is plenty of storage space in the large closet. The kitchen is well stocked with good cooking utensils. The W/D allows for less packing. The site has walled in off street parking, which was great because the close proximity to amenities and onsite bike availability meant the car was mostly parked. Laura (owner-management/concierge) is very nice and has great suggestions when asked. Of all the VRBOs we've stayed at on the Central Coast I can honestly say this is the best. ##### Greg F. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deb A. 15 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Super Stay in Santa Barbara This property is in an excellent, very safe location.We walked to almost everything in SB.

We will definitely be back!! ##### Molly M. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karina A. 26 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Heart of SB Adorable property in the heart of Santa Barbara. Mama Dux reflects the art and character of SB and location was perfect for access to dining, shopping, beach and Funk Zone. It rained hard during our stay which left a lot of debris but we were pleasantly surprised to find the host had swept the porch and walkways. Not ideal for pets because of fees and restrictions and dishwasher is loud. Otherwise, it is a beautiful property and I am definitely looking forward to returning. :) ##### Karina A.

We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this place. ##### Rajesh R.
