Looking for a vacation home?

Great for families or large parties, vacation homes are privately owned accommodations, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities, though breakfast might be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different than apartments.

    Beautiful setting in typical Santa Barbara style, radiating the vibe of the American riviera. The room was very clean and comfortable, the pool unusually well kept and simply beautiful with the surrounding patio, terracotta tiles, and all those lovely palm trees. Breakfast is not provided, but there is a corner with free coffee, cookies and other snack items that made for a great replacement. The location is great: just a few minutes walk to the beach, and a 10min stroll to state street. Would definitely come again.
