Hidden Gem!

What a wonderful week we had at the Hideaway! The house was across the street from the beach, a block or so from State street and within walking/biking distance to everywhere worth seeing in downtown SB. The backyard water feature was so wonderful! The house had every amenity we needed and the neighborhood was perfect. We will definitely be back again!

Cute little spot!

We had a nice stay at the Hideaway. It’s a great location! Close to everything. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. Wish the shower was a little easier for short people. Had to climb in and out and couldn’t reach the knob for the hand held sprayer. But that was it! Had some questions but the management company was very responsive. We’re planning on staying there again.

Santa Barbara 2025

Overall the stay was great. We did encounter an issue with the grill but the staff was right on it when we reported the issue. The place was very clean and the size just right for the four of us. The patio right outside the door was used often. The picnic table out the kitchen door was use for breakfast and the dinners we cooked in!
