walk to everything in town
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (121)
"Cute little place. Great value. Loved that you could walk to everything in town. Something to know going in, bring a smoke/carbon monoxide detector. I didn’t see any in the place and I would’ve slept a little better if I had brought one with. Otherwise, excellent affordable stay"

2.5 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (69)
"The cottage was really cute. I would have rated the property 5 star except for a couple of issues that made it not a great value. The property seemed to have just opened for the season, so maybe that's why it wasn't ready for prime time. 1) the kitchen area is not really a kitchen and isn't well stocked. There is only a very small toaster oven and a microwave. There is a gas grill with a burner which could be used for cooking. There are some plates, a couple of bowls, only 2 forks, no serving...

Cozy Cottage in the Heart of San Diego
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (78)
"Communication with the host and check in/check out were very easy. You could see into the house from the doors of the guest house but they put blinds on the guest house doors in case you wanted privacy. The iron was leaky and the plugs on the power strip that was left of the bed did not work. The location was great and we could walk to food/public transportation."

"Short term rental was never easier perfectly suited for accessing every site that local Santa Barbara offers. We walked to the beach, the pier, shops, night life, the zoo and great restaurants. The cottage was charming, spacious, and perfectly clean. We loved our evening glasses of wine on the patio, the incredibly comfortable beds, the driveway parking, the quiet and ever so friendly neighbors and community. We had no issues, and found all prior and posted instructions clear. We will be...

9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (183)
"Our family stayed here for 3 nights and absolutely loved it! We were in Whispering Pines, a small cottage suitable for a family of 3. It had a fully equipped kitchen, large bathroom and comfortable living space. I loved that the cottage had been renovated enough to meet our needs but still retained the old charm. The gardens and patios around each cottage are beautiful and so serene. It's a very short walk down to the beach and walkable to shops and restaurants too. There are 4 parking spots...

Charming Beach Retreat Cottage #3
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (3)
"The cottage was beautiful and true to the listing it was a short walk to the beach. We brought our two dogs with us, which was great to find a place that allowed pets. It was nice having a full kitchen, though I didn’t read prior to that there was no microwave. But that would be the only negative I have. I also am not sure if I just couldn’t figure out the pull out couch situation (not enough bed space with my wife and baby). I tried to see handles to pull out a bed but didn’t see any. It might...
