Cute little spot!
We had a nice stay at the Hideaway. It’s a great location! Close to everything. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. Wish the shower was a little easier for short people. Had to climb in and out and couldn’t reach the knob for the hand held sprayer. But that was it! Had some questions but the management company was very responsive. We’re planning on staying there again.

Property clean and comfortable. Walking distance to restaurants and some sights. Close to beach, although tar in the sand limits this feature.

Hidden Gem!
What a wonderful week we had at the Hideaway! The house was across the street from the beach, a block or so from State street and within walking/biking distance to everywhere worth seeing in downtown SB. The backyard water feature was so wonderful! The house had every amenity we needed and the neighborhood was perfect. We will definitely be back again!

Fabulous stay at The Hideaway
The Hideaway exceeded my expectations. All appliances were in excellent working condition, nice huge tub for kids bath, large private patio area, full size washer/dryer, and garage parking was a bonus. As far as location, I could not have asked for a better one. Steps to the beach, steps to Chad's Cafe, a short 5 minute walk to MOXI Museum, McConnell's ice cream, and walking distance to State Street and the Funk Zone-- both about a 10 minute walk. Of the 5 days we were there we only got in the car once to drive to the zoo. Highly recommend this property! We hope to be back soon.

Relaxed indoor and outdoor living
We had a great time in Santa Barbara. The West Beach house was a perfect fit for us. Our daughter was graduating from Westmont College. So the location was great. The proximity to downtown, the pier and the beach was also super convenient. The gardens are beautiful and the outside living spaces were a real plus for us. When we come back we’ll stay at West Beach house again.

Great location close to the beach and restaurants
This property is in a great location! Quiet streets close to all of the action. It had everything we needed and more. We loved the enclosed patio and the beach gear. The only improvement that could be made is to fix the beds so they don't squeak. We couldn't turn over without waking each other up.

Wonderful location & property
This property is ideally located for exploring all that Santa Barbara has to offer. We could walk most everywhere we wanted to go, and the freeway access is quick and easy. Having a place to park our car was definitely a plus! There was an unfortunate water leak on the property during our stay, but the management company/ownership handled it promptly and professionally. Overall, a great stay in Santa Barbara. Wouldn't hesitate to return to this property.

Our stay at the Hideaways
Overall, the experience was excellent. We didn't use the dishwasher, but the kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need. The shower is difficult to get in and out (were older). We left the used towels all in the bath. It was the wrong week to make this trip because of the Fiesta Week. Luckily we had made restaurant reservations. My wife enjoyed her 90th birthday in a great little city.
