We booked this home at the last minute and were pleasantly surprised. We travel often to the Santa Barbara area- at least five times a year- but normally stay in a hotel. The house is great: furnishings are new and beds and linens comfortable. The outdoor areas are the best thing about the house; we ate breakfast on the patio and enjoyed a glass of wine by the fire outside. The location can’t be beat-easy access to the 101, the beach, a bike ride to downtown SB, close to the lower village shops and restaurants- really convenient to everything we wanted.
