Nice, spacious apartment with high ceilings, open design with the main bedroom partly open to the living space (fine for us). Great location, and having two secured parking spaces was a big benefit. Philip was in touch with us, very responsive, and helpful throughout our stay.
Ideal location within easy walking distance of State Street, Funk Zone, local Farmer's Market, the Beach, and other attractions. Indoor parking is a real plus. The condo is roomy and nicely appointed, the kitchen is well-supplied, and the unit offers good privacy from neighbors. The owner provided excellent communication access throughout the rental process and beyond. Highly responsive to all questions/concerns. Would definitely choose this rental again when we next visit Santa Barbara.
We had a great time in Phillip's condo. Location is great, in a very secure gated building. The property was roomy and wonderful for our family of 4.
Fully stocked home, lots of dishes in the kitchen, huge TV and Fast internet.
We were here for almost a week and the setup was great for us to WFH and enjoy the beach area and downtown shopping and restaurants.
Check in was very clear and super easy.
Very quiet condo, no disturbance from neighbors
Check out was even simpler.. No crazy rules about loading dishes, making beds, washing laundry etc..
(We took care of most of them since we wanted to leave the house in the same condition as we found it.)
Thanks for making our Santa Barbara trip a memorable one.
Booked in advance. Hoping for a great 3 week get away to enjoy the beach and work. Did all of my homework and found no red flags. The minute I entered the house it was one debacle after another.
Used N95 mask hanging from the entry way lamp
Broken toilet
Stains and hair on what looked like dirty and aged sheets
Closet was filled with someone elseâs clothing (owners?)
Opened the refrigerator and was filled with used food items many of the jars dated over a year old
Stains from liquid spill on the shelves
Opened bottles of soda, salad dressing, wine,
Freezer full of used/opened food
Rubber lining around refrigerator and freezer doors were COVERED with MOLD
All the kitchen cabinets were filled with used/opened food
8 ant traps along kitchen counter top in full view
Pet hair in the rug and dog bedding and toys in the apartment
Mold and mildew in the shower doors
The minute I discovered the filthy rental I contacted the owners and they took 3 hours to respond. They offered to have the same person that they claimed to have cleaned the apartment come that evening to âcleanâ again. I declined to stay in this hazardous environment and Vrbo helped relocate me. With the help of over 60 photos the rental was deemed a health and safety hazard by Vrbo. I ended up at a hotel one hour away on a holiday weekend for the first night. I had to return the keys to the rental the following day. I arrived after the âcleaningâ person was done. The rental did not look much better. The place needs a very deep clean and review by Vrbo for quality standards. Either the owners have a different definition of clean and rentable or they are taking the word of their cleaning person that is seriously taking advantage of their absence.
Perfect Getaway
We loved this place from the moment we walked in. Unusually high ceilings and a big open main room â modern but warm. Big tv with apple controls and comfy couches. Everything is in good order, very clean and location is terrific with a coffee house downstairs. Walking distance to the beach as well as cool local restaurants. Owner was very responsive and gave helpful recommendations. Sorry to leave, look forward to returning next year!
