Charming, modern & clean home near beach
In Santa Barbara for a family get-together. This spacious home was a great alternative to more cramped motels and location was central to other local family and near the beach, restaurants, & shopping. Had some difficulty inviting other family members to join us so it was under-utilized but it was quiet, clean, charming, and had plenty of amenities. You can’t please everyone so the seniors were disappointed that there wasn’t better accessibility (charming narrow paths and lack of safety bars at entries and exits & in bathrooms was daunting). Modern entertainment and heating was a bit difficult for them to navigate but they have the same problem at local hotels. The loners wanted in-room TV but settled for using their tablets. Variety of interesting board/card games and books for kids too. Kitchen and dining area was spacious enough for family meals. Beautiful weather and spacious patio was inviting but we did not take full advantage of it in the short time we were there so didn’t use the spa. Beds were comfortable but would have preferred to have the en-suite bathroom in the room with the largest bed (and larger end-tables or smaller lamps). Plenty of cleaning supplies, lotions & shampoos. Adjustable shower heads and an available washer & dryer. Private parking off street for more than one car. Host left a set of instructions and guest rules and push-button entry was easy. Would definitely recommend this to other, younger families without accessibility issues.
