Great House in a great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with 6 adults in this property. Everything is very walkable, the house has everything one can possbily need and is beautifully furnished. The backyard is great as well. Only thing to mention is that the windows are a bit thin, so keep that in mind when booking.

Spacious with great location

Stayed her with three other friends for a getaway weekend for She is Beautiful. Love the location to downtown, easy walk and we biked to our run/walk. The home has lots of room, we were only four so it was almost too big! (we had a couple last minute cancels). Kitchen is well equipped, we made a couple dinners there. A mini-split in the dining/kitchen are which we definitely needed as it was a warm weekend. I did miss having ceiling fans in the bedroom but there were standing fans that worked quite well. The house has plenty of parking. we hope to be back.

Lovely house/location

It is a beautiful house, furnished nicely and perfect location. However the entry, in/out gate, lockbox, doors a challenge. Need a more modern lockbox. It’s ancient. Door open/close a challenge. Pull up, turn key clockwise or wait counterclockwise. Instructions yes, but not easy as could be.

Perfect spot with literally everything you’d need!

This villa was amazing. The proximity to State Street was perfect. A short walk to the Funk Zone and the Pier. Very clean and I’ve never stayed at a place that has literally everything you would need for your stay!! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this beautiful villa.

I used to live a few blocks away

Must be recently renovated. Very well stocked and clean. Walkable to everything on mid to lower State St. Easy to find with plenty of parking off the back yard, which has a nice area to just hang out. Santa Barbara isn't what it once was, nor is the rest California. This house is an excellent place to stay to experience downtown. Hopefully things will change and the area will get back to what it once was. Santa Barbara is still worth a visit and this house is an excellent and comfortable hang out.

Santa Barbara gem

This was the best house we've rented. Even better than the pics. Although it was just the 2 of us this place would be perfect for a family. Our only comment is that the bed was a little uncomfortable. Other than that everything was absolutely perfect.

Perfect Vacation Spot!

We had a wonderful stay at Downtown Villa. The home was well-decorated, clean, comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked. We had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. It's ideally located to many restaurants and the beach was a quick bike ride. The property is perfect for a family vacation. We'll be back soon.

Bring a flashlight

The unit was lovely, comfortable and well decorated, and the location is in the center of everything downtown. The reason for the low rating is access, which was detailed for me three days before arrival. I was dropped off by my taxi at 10:00 pm. I walked around to the alley, held my phone flashlight to the keypad to access the gate and then played Find the Lockbox, beaming the flashlight into all the corners of the yard. I called the office - no answer - duh and finally found the lockbox and was able to open the back door to access the unit. I would never have rented and paid a pretty penny for a rental that had to be accessed from the alley, especially as my arrival was at night.

Great Central Location

We selected this location based on the numerous positive reviews. We weren’t disappointed. The home is charming, has everything you would ever need, and is ideally located. Cota Street can be a little noisy if that type of thing bothers you, but we enjoyed our stay thoroughly and would stay here again in the future.

Exquisite!

Extraordinary and exquisite! This is a delightful property, with an unparalleled location. Everything from kitchen supplies to outdoor furniture and beach supplies were fantastic for me and my wife, and our adult kids. I honestly was worried that it looked too good to be true... but it lived up to our greatest expectations. We will be back!

We enjoyed our stay at the Downtown Villa. The home was very spacious, comfortable, and well appointed . It is in a perfect location also. We could easily walk to the downtown area, Funk Town, and the beach. It was the perfect vacation spot for our family. I would highly recommend staying in this amazing home.

Immaculate Home; Incredible Location

I've never stayed at a better cleaned or stocked home, and I've stayed in a lot of VRBOs! Beautiful home with everything you need to really make yourself at home, and plenty of space to spread out in. The location is excellent, just a quick walk to State Street, tons of restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, as well as nearby wharf and beach access. The bikes included are great. The home has personality and is just beautiful, and my family and I really enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much!

Perfect Home Stay in Santa Barbara

The property was better than advertised. Location is perfect, of course, but the house was outfitted with high quality furnishings and equipment similar to what I have at home. They had EVERYTHING. Santa Barbara had a power outage while we were there and sure enough there were flashlights everywhere and a drawer full of candles. Even the kitchen knives were high end and sharp! Management was responsive and pleasant to deal with. Just perfect all around.
