Amazing host in an awesome location

Kelly was one of the best hosts I’ve ever had on VRBO - very proactive, responsive and willing to go the extra mile to make sure our stay was extra special. Her house is in a great location - walking distance to a park with a beach but far enough from the downtown to have nice quiet nights with the kids. 100% would stay here again and recommend you to as well. Thanks Kelly!

This house was great! I would stay at this house again & highly recommend it to others. I have stayed at many VRBO homes throughout the years and this was the best “stocked” house I’ve stayed in from the kitchen to the bathrooms. Extremely clean. The beds were very comfortable with the mattress toppers. The pictures don’t do justice to the wonderful landscaping. Great location and walkable to the water. I have absolutely no complaints about this place..

Best place to be

We came for a work trip/vaca and really loved Santa Barbara. We were a short walk to the park at the end of the street and took the stairs down to the beach. Santa Barbara was amazing and would recommend it for anyone to visit with nice beaches, walking areas, restraints. The property itself was a nice quiet, spacious getaway for me and my family. We would definitely stay here again.

Graduation getaway

Wonderful place for 6 of us to stay while celebrating a graduation. The location is perfect…just a short walk to Shoreline park and Leadbetter Beach. The beds were extremely comfortable. Kelly was so attentive and thought of everything when supplying the house. And, the plants, including abundant succulents and roses, were gorgeous. We loved it!

The location was fantastic. We were able to walk to the beach, the coffee shops, restaurants, State street etc. Very well located. The home was perfectly appointed with many little extras that made our stay very comfortable. It was clean and welcoming right from the start. Our hosts were easy to reach and communications were smooth and simple. We would definitely recommend this property to friends and family and we look forward to returning again soon

Great Place for Family Weekend

This property was prettier in person than in the pictures. We also loved the privacy from the wall of bushes in the front yard to the very high fences all around, so you can't see any neighbors or people on the street. Beautiful rose garden in the front and lots of places to sit inside and on the outside patios. Just a short walk to watch the sunset on the ocean and enjoy the park and harbor. Perfect location. And Kelly was great! Very responsive and helpful. We'll definitely be back!

Great home away from home

This was a great rental property for our five day stay in Santa Barbara. Communication with Kelly was seamless and she was very responsive. The location was excellent - short walk to the beach and beachside restaurants, short drive to town. The home itself was spacious and well-stocked with several nice touches not often found in rentals (e.g. shower caps, hair ties, full-size lotions). The kitchen was probably the best we've ever had in a VRBO. We like the flexibility of being able to cook some of our meals, so it was a treat to be able to come home from the farmers market and cook dinner with proper equipment and supplies! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would gladly come back.

Outstanding

We had a wonderful stay, and would not have wanted anything different. The hosts thought of every convenience including beach chairs, beach towels, extra flip flops, games, iron/ironing board, and coffee and tea, etc. The kitchen had all the right utensils and cooking pans (all well maintained), and the appliances were high quality. There was also nice touches that make a difference like fresh flowers which shows care for the home. The location was amazing—we loved that we could walk to Leadbetter beach, Stearns wharf, and other nearby places. It would be even more fun in the summer with the nice outdoor spaces at the house. We hope to come back sometime in warmer months. We’ve stayed in many VRBOs in nice places and Kelly is by far the best host. Highly recommend this home.
