Full of natural light and luxurious details, City Terrace is an ideal place to find your home away from home. This 2 bedroom, 1 bath condo is tucked away just off of the iconic State Street and is very accessible to all that Santa Barbara has to offer. It boasts a walking score of 82 and a bike score of 72\. City Terrace is where outdoor and indoor living seamlessly come together to create an oasis of relaxation and serenity. Cook a meal on the BBQ outside as you listen to the relaxing sound of the small fountain on the patio. Bask in the Santa Barbara sunshine on the plush outdoor seating (not pictured) or enjoy a meal al fresco at the bistro table. The remodeled kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need- from daily necessities to thoughtful additions, such as an espresso machine. Eat at the bar or enjoy a meal on either the indoor or outdoor dining tables. Curl up on the living room couch with a good book or to binge-watch your favorite new show.

The second bedroom has a full size bed with a twin trundle, perfect for kids or visiting family members.

The accommodations were ideal for us. The rooms were spacious, clean, inviting, the patio is delightful with a beautiful fountain, and the neighbors were absolutely wonderful and welcoming. Most of all, the management could not have been more helpful and responsive to anything we needed or requested. We are in high praise of the VRBO SB staff, "K," Marci, Lydia-et al. They are all wonderful. ##### Mike N. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Lemon Tree Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-Lemon-Tree-Inn.h966170.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Escondido-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-The-Welk.h59916.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Loma Beach Hotel (formerly The Inn at Laguna Beach)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Laguna-Beach-Hotels-Inn-At-Laguna-Beach.h7446.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hoxton Downtown LA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-THE-Hoxton-Downtown-LA.h36712437.Hotel-Information) > > [The Commerce Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Hotel-Los-Angeles-Commerce-Casino.h533227.Hotel-Information) > > [ The Hollywood Franklin Hotel near Universal Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Adler-A-Hollywood-Hills-Hotel.h9761.Hotel-Information) > > [FOUND Hotels, Santa Monica, Series by Marriott](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-FOUND-Los-Angeles-Santa-Monica.h41510539.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Alton Fisherman's Wharf by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Kimpton-Alton-Hotel-Fishermans-Wharf.h1047.Hotel-Information) > > [Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Sir-Francis-Drake-Hotel.h15254.Hotel-Information) > > [The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-London-West-Hollywood-At-Beverly-Hills.h21097.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pierside Santa Monica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Pierside-Santa-Monica.h2094.Hotel-Information) > > [Basecamp South Lake Tahoe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Basecamp-South-Lake-Tahoe.h1086847.Hotel-Information) > > [Disneyland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneyland-Hotel.h15276.Hotel-Information) > > [Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Grand-Californian-Hotel-And-Spa.h692655.Hotel-Information) > > [Alma San Diego Downtown, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Alma-San-Diego-Downtown.h2133509.Hotel-Information) > > [Corque Hotel, Solvang, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-Hotel-Corque.h67460.Hotel-Information) > > [CCBC Resort Hotel - A Gay Men's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-CCBC-Resort-Hotel-A-Gay-Mens-Resort.h1654482.Hotel-Information) > > [Magic Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Magic-Castle-Hotel.h27297.Hotel-Information) > > [The Beverly Hills Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Beverly-Hills-Hotel-Dorchester-Collection.h12057.Hotel-Information) > > [Premier Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakland-Hotels-Premier-Inn-Suites.h98374288.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Caza.h38249309.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Petit Pali Brentwood West Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Le-Petit-Pali-Brentwood.h893085.Hotel-Information) > > [The Viv Hotel, Anaheim, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-The-Viv-Hotel.h50907370.Hotel-Information) > > [Bide-A-Wee Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Bide-A-Wee-Inn.h3520260.Hotel-Information) > > [The Prospect Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Whitley-Hollywood.h42644328.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Delfina-Santa-Monica.h12942.Hotel-Information) > > [Pixar Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Paradise-Pier-Hotel.h9503.Hotel-Information) > > [Palihouse West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Palihouse-West-Hollywood.h13072.Hotel-Information) > > [The Monterey Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-The-Monterey-Hotel.h12377.Hotel-Information) ---
