Mesa Casita | walk to the beach

NilayRating, 5 stars1 day ago

The house was exactly as described and in the photos. Best things about the place: location, quite neighborhood, easily accessible, close to all the beaches, added bonus is the house has all the beach gear (beach chairs, umbrella, cart to carry and beach towels). I would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again.

Downtown Santa Barbara Stylish Studio Retreat

AnnaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Great stay! We came here for a weekend getaway. After reading other reviews I thought the street lights and noise would be way more noticeable, but we didn’t even need ear plugs. The shades don’t block out light but they make the space feel very private. Easy check-in and checkout process. We were walking distance to so many places. The bathroom was very clean and everything in the space felt luxurious.
