"This is our second time to stay at this property. The location is perfect. Just a couple of minutes away is a little grocery store that has everything you need. And every evening a taco truck is parked there. The cottage is so cute, spotless and is well equipped. We love sitting on the front patio enjoying drinks and a meal. The street is so quiet and peaceful, it’s the perfect place to end a busy day. We are already planning our next Santa Barbara get away at Costa Vida Cottage."

"Overall our stay here was positive. But, the apartment was not ready for occupancy when we arrived. There were moldy coffee grinds in the coffee machine, and used, dirty towels hanging in the bathroom. The coffee provided was an already opened coffee grind package that was only a quarter filled. It's a great location and cute place, but...yikes!"

"The location is amazing making it easy to walk to restaurants, shopping, the beach or just stroll around tasting wine. Great to have garage parking and home was appointed well. Minor complaint is that the pillows could be replaced or offer more options as they are very flat and both my husband and I walked away from our stay with sore necks. Note asking us not to use the elevator which was fine for us but should be noted and while we didn’t cook or grill it appeared that the grill may not be...
