Beautiful home, close to UCSB, well stocked kitchen, with clean and comfortable beds. The home does not have air conditioning so it got quite warm during our stay. The host has plenty of fans. We kept the windows open at night to cool the home.

It’s a nice property in good condition. Quiet neighborhood and convenient to get to. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed. Very convenient in that each group had its own full bath.

Nicely decorated home with 4 bedrooms and beautiful private yard

The house is nicely decorated and with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms it is spacious for up to 8 people. It is a cul de sac in a nice neighborhood close to the beach. The back yard is beautiful and private, with plenty of seating. Overall a very nice place!

The property is great. Adorable back yard. Quiet. Lots of parking. It's definitely a little remote but everything you need is a short drive away. Would stay there again for sure

Mini-reunion

We were able to get together as a family, since our kids are spread out across the country. The house made it very easy to hang out at will instead of trying to meet in a hotel room or a restaurant. More than enough space in a quiet neighborhood convenient to getting around.

Goleta Getaway

Overall, the house was clean and met our needs for a family weekend. We rented this house because it had 4 bathrooms. It should be more clearly stated that two of those bathrooms are in the master. It was an interesting layout. But, it worked for us. Also, the kitchen could be a little better stocked with spices, oils, etc. Otherwise, it was a nice house that suited our needs.

Good stay

The house was very stocked, high chair, kids chairs etc. Kitchen stocked well. Really the only issue we had was the AC did not work very well, in the summer this would have been a major issue and the review would have been a 1 star. The response I received from Vecassa was not very encouraging, basically AC is not included in your agreement. Luckily it was October and it was not that hot, they did have fans and we had to sleep with them a few nights. I would stay here again but if in summer make sure AC is working correctly.

Family graduation trip

This property was perfectly located near my sisters house in Goleta. While the property had some wear and tear (stains and tear on kitchen floor and bathroom flooring) it was clean, beds were comfortable, backyard was private and nice, plenty of space for eating and hanging out! I do think the extra fees on this property are quite misleading. Both VRBO and Vacasa charge over $300 each in booking fees, plus cleaning, a parking fee (?) even though the house has a driveway to park in, as well as other unexplained fees aside from taxes. Overall, I would stay in this property again due to the convenient location near family. However, I will be more attentive in comparing the extra fees associated with renting this property versus others.

Very comfortable and welcoming.

-Lighting poor over dining room table - replace 2700K (yellow) bulbs with 5000K (bright white) led 100W eq. -Master Suite suggestions: 1) Move the TV to wall over fireplace. 2) Move desk from closet to present TV location. This would be handy for working on a laptop. Provide another chair for the desk. 3) Move present TV stand into closet for suitcases. The desk in there was too wide. 4) Did not understand the locked closet in the Master. The hallway closet should be enough for the cleaners. 5) Needed more hangers in the closet. -Loved the dining room table with six chairs. Most VRBO's have a small table with four chairs. Major influence in picking this property. -Loved the patio table with the bench and four chairs. We were able to use these chairs at the dining room table when we had more people for dinner. -Very good kitchen. Comfortable with multiple people cooking. -Great TV in Living Room but should provide at least one subscription service. Maybe there is, but it seemed that it needed an Amazon Prime code to do anything.

Weekend in Santa Barbara

The home is fine. Beds were comfortable and the house was clean. It's more outdated than the photos show. The master bathroom was the most up to date, but the others we're pretty run down. The kitchen had an electric stove that was old and challenging to cook on. If you're just looking for a place to crash overnight it's great, but I would have been disappointed if I were staying for a vacation or weekend getaway.

House looked clean but the bedsheets and pillows had an awful sweaty, musty odor. That made sleeping at night difficult. On top of that, one of the shower pan had stains that felt not very clean so we didn't use it at all. In one of the bathrooms, the floor had a slight dip indicating some water damage below. The Avant Stay team did mend it a little bit for us but not enough and there was nothing we could do about any of the items. For top dollars they charged us, this wouldn't be a place we would recommend.

Clean and comfortable home outside of Santa Barbara

This four bedroom home is located about a 15 minute drive to Santa Barbara and a couple minutes from good trails and golf overlooking the beach. The rooms were spacious with a well appointed kitchen and all the necessities for a comfortable stay. A good outdoor space with large table was an added plus!

Perfect for us!

This house has everything you could need. Plenty of indoor and outdoor room to hang out, a good kitchen stocked with everything we needed, and a nice yard. We had 3 adults, a baby and a dog and would definitely stay here again! The neighborhood was nice to walk around and it’s an easy drive to anything you might need.
