WEST BEACH SUITES

This is a prime location for spending some time in the ocean paradise of Santa Barbara. Being just a block away from the beach, pier, and State St, it made getting anywhere fast.
The property was very clean, neat, and well maintained. Furnished very comfortably for two or more.
Great hospitality! If you could imagine an old time black and white movie where people were nice and friendly, this would be it. The owner was a fantastic person to talk to and very hospitable.
Being just a block away from State Street there were many restaurants and bars to visit. The night life is great!
I would highly recommend this property to a friend or relative who is destined to have a great time in Santa Barbara.

The property was as advertised on the Home Away site. My wife and I enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend this unit to others. It is centrally located so that you can walk to many attractions such as the wharf, beach, marina, restaurants, State St. and wine tasting rooms. The property was well maintained and clean. The owners were very helpful providing many useful suggestions that enhanced our stay.

We loved our stay at this apartment, it was just like it had been described and suited our purposes perfectly. The apartment was clean and tastefully decorated, with functional appliances and a spacious refrigerator. We brought our own international DVD player to play DVDs from Europe, it worked perfectly with the TV monitor and the owner was helpful setting it up. Wireless internet connection worked flawlessly. The kitchen was nicely stocked with everything necessary to cook and eat. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom clean and there were plenty of beach chairs, towels, sand toys etc. The beach is really just a stone's throw away. The owners of the apartment live on site and are very friendly and helpful. They directed us to grocery stores, pharmacies and kid friendly entertainment like a merry-go-round in a park at walking distance, and an amazing playground a little further away, at Alameda Park. We would definitely recommend this apartment to families with children, maybe with one caveat: The house is located right next to a river, and there is no fence or wall along the steep drop from the patio area down to the stony river bed just outside the apartment door. With a toddler, a lot of caution and supervision would be necessary. The walk to Old Town Santa Barbara is indeed short, but it does lead under the railway bridge, and light sleepers might want to bring ear plugs, as trains can be heard at the apartment. There is a convenient shuttle service for 25 cents per person that stops close to the apartment. Passengers can get on and off all along State Street. It stops running rather early in the evening, though. To go out for dinner, we recommend taking the car or stick with one of the Italian places along the beach. Or cook at the apartment, which is what we did! It was a thoroughly enjoyable stay and we are definitely planning on coming back!
