"Cute cottage in Santa Barbara steps away from East Beach, a short walk to Stearn’s wharf and 1 min drive to get onto 101. Clean, and exactly as pictured with comfortable rooms and lots of items in kitchen and towels in the bathroom. Also great as it has free parking, both with a small driveway and plenty of street parking in front of the house. Would stay here again! "

"The water view from the back cottage was great to wake up to. The location is great: near the zoo, away from busy State Street but close enough to walk to stuff. The kitchen was small but fully functional with a grocery store like a block away. The host provide lots of kids stuff, stroller, high chair, and even beach toys!"

"We loved our stay at Captain Java's! We arrived mid December - in the dark - and it was so nice to see festive Christmas lights on to welcome us. We also found the poinsettia on the table - a wonderful holiday touch, as well as the sweets beside it. There was some cereal, creamer and coffee for us to use, as well as some things in the fridge - which was all very much appreciated! The fireplace was lovely to turn on in the evening and take the chill off. We stayed for two weeks, and we...

"I loved this cottage! Family was staying nearby and this gave me my own space while enjoying them all. There is a very comfortable living area, small but well supplied kitchen, and a large bedroom with closet and dresser. The host is easy to contact if need be. It was wonderful being just a very short walk to the beach and we were able to catch the sunset most evenings. The cottage is perfect and I hope to stay there again!"

"The kitchen is well stocked with all the basics, including things like cooking oil and spices. The bathroom included shampoo, conditioner, and body wash (the listing doesn’t specify this). The layout is odd—the bedrooms are tiny and the beds are really crammed in there. The bathroom is huge, probably larger than the bedrooms. The "living room" is more of a foyer and definitely not set up for any more than 2 people. The furniture and decor is kind of random, like they raided someone's grandma's...
