Ocean, Sunset, Mountain Views, Private Deck: Villa Floresco: Tuscan-like getaway
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (93)
"I loved staying at Villa Floresco. Mindy was a wonderful host. It was clear she has thought of everything she'd like her guests to have & experience. I felt very safe, comfortable, and relaxed there. Beyond the views, the bed and the shower were fantastic. I'll be staying here whenever I visit Santa Barbara again. Thank you, Mindy!"

"This was our second stay here. It is close to the beach. Our dog loves it. Only downside is some traffic noise, but we think the trade off of being blocks from the beach is well worth it."

Casa Valerio Unit 6B-Boutique Suite in Downtown Santa Barbara
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (42)
"Nice, clean, and modern unit conveniently located just steps from the most popular area of Santa Barbara (state street). Everything about this place was seamless; the check-in was quick, the communication was prompt, and the unit was small but perfect for a couple. In addition, the King size bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was very spacious. Having a bigger bathroom with double vanity helps with getting ready since my wife takes up so much space ;) when getting ready. I highly...

Pristine Santa Barbara Apartment with Hot Tub and Mountain and Ocean Views
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (76)
"My friends and I stayed at this apartment for the weekend, and we had a wonderful time. The apartment was very clean and looked like the pictures in the listing. The views are amazing, and it's a very short drive to the main strip of restaurants and shopping areas. It was exactly what we wanted and expected. The property manager seems very chill and reasonable too. No complaints!"

NEW to the Market – Sweet Summerland Sail – 1 BD – Walk to Beach, Restaurants, and Shops!
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1)
"Was a cute stay. Apartment is small but was plenty of room for us. There is a nice outdoor seating are and ping pong table. Small coffee shop across the street as well. There is currently construction during the day out front which would have been helpful to know. The area will be beautiful once the construction is done. Would also be helpful to have a curtain over the open window in the bathroom since it looks out into an area people pass by. We would stay here again if in the area."

Apt 2: Fresh Light Unit with Private Patio, Steps to Beach
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (11)
"The place was as described. Unfortunately we got some unusual cold and wet weather and given that this is really a beach stay, we didn't get to take advantage of everything. If you are a light sleeper, you may want to opt for an upstairs unit - floors are very thin and you can hear everything. Super easy check in and check out and really nice and clean."

"We really liked this place. Looking for a reasonably priced place where we could explore Carpinteria and Santa Barbara from and this place fit the bill perfectly! Just a few minutes walk to the beach and the apartment was immaculate! Very nice, with on-site laundry, comfortable beds - can't think of anything to nit-pick. Great place and we'll be back."
