This is an old cottage that makes you feel right at home. Amazing views and easy location to get to anything you need.The owner was very quick to get to me when a branch broke off the big tree. She had it cleaned up the next day. She is super nice and very easy to deal with.Bring your sunscreen and enjoy the deck and view.
Lara is a great communicator and check in was a breeze. The location of the cottage is a beautiful bluff above the beach. The cottage was comfortable with everything you need to stay tucked in for the day or easily go back and forth to town. The cottage needs a few repairs (some single pane cracked windows in the master bedroom) but is otherwise very lovely and comfortable. The clothes drier needed repairs while we were there and Lara kept us informed and was available by phone. It was a memorable weekend and I will definitely book it again!
My wife and I stayed here with our three adult children in late April. Beach cottage is a bit of an understatement! Here's a list of things we enjoyed most about this Vrbo:- Laura is a friendly, responsive host- Great location and *stunning* views (several dolphin sightings from the deck)- Close to grocery stores, coffee shops, and restaurants- Lots of outdoor seating- Plenty of towels and linens- Extra throws/blankets in the living room- Ping pong table in the garage- Did I mention dolphin sightings? :-)
Cozy cottage on a bluff overlooking the ocean. Spectacular views and great location, with easy access to downtown Santa Barbara and Montecito. Lots of great wineries for day trips. Highly recommend.
The house was perfect for all our trips and you will love the view. House provided everything you need and owner was very responsive. Weâd definitely recommend this home.
Perfect locationânear beach access, restaurants, grocery. The outdoor space is perfect to sit and watch the sun set while dolphins swim by. Very private. Easy walk to parks or hiking spots. Views for days.
We went to SB for my sonâs wedding to get away from busy down town , took only 13 minutes by car . Messa is a cute town everything you need is walkable distance , food booze , restaurants , conscience stores .
The view of pacific is memorizing , perfect sunsets ,. Perfect patie !
This place lives up to everything youâve seen & read. Absolutely will not disappoint. Loved our stay, & host Laura had perfect communication. Our 35th anniversary was made even more special by staying here. Hope to return soon!
The two patios/decks and the panoramic views are the crown jewels of this beachside property atop a bluff overlooking the Channel Islands. A blend of sun and shade shifts during the day adding to the comfort and calm of the serene setting. Beach access is steps and stairs away (just down the street and down 240 stairs), but we preferred the family friendly Hendryâs Beach down Cliff Drive. The house is a short drive from downtown Santa Barbara and many local attractions. A delivery of new patio cushions arrived on our first day to replace a set that was older and dirty. This demonstrated to us that the owner is attentive to guests and their experiences. The house is comfortable with open views and lots of daylight. The interior is a blend of comfort and some slightly outdated items, but you donât stay in a property like this to remain indoors. It definitely had enough amenities to feel like a home away from home. We were extremely satisfied and would stay here again. Highly recommended!
This property is amazing! It was the perfect size for our party of 4 adults and 2 children. The location and view are unbeatable. There is a large yard that includes a beautiful deck, grassy area and separate brick patio all looking over the ocean. Bring your binoculars (one pair was provided) because we spotted dolphins every day of our stay. The home is in a quiet residential area with perfect streets for walking. The closest beach is down a long staircase so we chose to drive just a few minutes down the road to a larger beach. The house is well maintained and well stocked. Communication with the owner was excellent. Beaches, downtown shops and restaurants, the zoo and the mission were all just a short drive from the home. We look forward to booking this home again!
Loved being âonâ the ocean but also being above it, maybe 60â. Views expansive. In a nice walkable neighborhood. Comfortable beach cottage. Lots of windows. Great communication with the owner. Stayed 2 weeks and wish it was 2 months.
We stayed here for our honeymoon. The view was stunning. It rained a few days and we could still see and hear the ocean in front of the cozy fireplace. House isnât updated, so if youâre looking for modern, this isnât your vibe. That being said, the house is so charming and comes equipped with everything you could need. We enjoyed grilling on the deck and used the fireplace several times. We didnât rent a car, opting for Ubers and Lyfts instead. We had no issue getting rides and everything was 5-10 minutes away no matter which area of town, so the location was perfect. Communication with the owner was easy!
If thereâs a better view in the United States of the ocean and scenery, I have not seen it! Great house great view great owner. Communication was wonderful. Would definitely return.
