Good memories start in a comfortable place

I enjoyed it cozy while breathing fresh air in a beautiful accommodation. I could feel the warmth of the host, from the bath products used in the accommodation to the painting on the wall In particular, the room and bathroom are clean, so I relieve the fatigue of travel by taking a shower and recharged my energy for the next day's schedule with the comfort of the bed. I would definitely revisit Sunny's house!

Beautiful place to stay

The location is just one block away from east beach, so easy to take a walk around ocean. Also, It was easy and safe to park because there is a garage. The most thing I loved master bathroom shower space was spacious and also comfortable because you could use a fixed and movable shower heads at the same time. You should visit Sunny’s house!!

Great family getaway with grandbaby

The location close to the beach was perfect for our family. Beach towels, toddler pails/shovels, chairs and wagon made it easy to get us all there every day. Layout of home was great with enough private space with separate bathrooms and porches plus enough shared space too, including a 1st floor bath and outdoor area. Comfortable, well stocked, cozy. Perfect place.to enjoy time with our toddler grandbaby and his parents. Would totally stay here again!

SB beach side retreat

We love the property right away the layout was great. The property was immaculately clean. It was all close to the beach and within walking distance of markets, restaurants, and many of the things we came to Santa Barbara to say we enjoyed it and will definitely stay there again. The property had plenty of towels, beach chairs, coffee to start our morning right. There was a great food store Tri county produce a few feet away. Everything was sobao convenient. I would love to come back and rent this lovely home again.

Our experience

The house is cute and we LOVED the fireplace. BUT, the bug issue is huge. We had ants everywhere- all over the pillows, everywhere in the kitchen (and I mean everywhere), and even upon leaving all over my clothes and my luggage. Even at home I’m still trying to get rid of ants from my luggage and we only ate in the house once/ the bugs were all there upon arrival. We had a few spiders in the house as well. Cleanliness wasn’t the greatest, but the house is very cute and the location is great. I would recommend only if this bug issue is resolved. We’re paying too much to be dealing with so many bugs.

wish there was better communication

poor communication from Vacasa/owner great location, well equipped kitchen, broken fold out sofa (had we known we would have looked at other properties), broken heater, alerted Vacasa as soon as we checked in - no response for 2 days, (space heaters dropped off on 3rd evening of our stay), disappointed in Vacasa will avoid in future.

Privacy is excellent

The path to the property runs thru the parking lot of the Blue Sands Inn, so you must be very careful of extended pickups with trailer hitches, or their tailgate down. The rug on the patio is in sad need of replacement, (third world looking) tattered, faded and unraveling. it was hot and humid, (unusual for SB) fans were provided, but some electrical outlets didn't work. Ceiling fans in bedrooms and living room/dining area would be a possible solution.Overall six on a ten scale.

Great Location!

The property is nicely situated to the beach and zoo with a small grocery store nearby. Great walking opportunities. A few fixes would be great. First oil the squeaky door to the main bedroom (didn't want to wake the baby), provide detailed directions to the heating system (we were there at a change of seasons), 2 keys in the lockbox. While the towels were washed, they had an odor. I think this is because as you leave you are to wash the towels, not sure how the proceeding folks washed the towels....We put on sanitize - but at home we use vinegar which helps. Took us a while to find the sheets for the sofa. So, a bit more focus on directions/details would be make this 5 star.

Perfect Location

We were here for a conference at the Hilton. Perfect place to stay! Walking distance to the conference along with all restaurants that we wanted to go to. And, it was lovely to start each morning with a walk on the path along the beach. Really nice grocery on the corner where we picked up everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful beach vacation home

This home is perfectly located seconds from the ocean, minutes from downtown and an east drive to other Santa Barbara sites. The home is beautifully furnished and immaculately cleaned. The garage is stocked with beach towels and chairs. It was a perfect home for our family get away. We will definitely book again.

Outstanding place and location!

Sunny’s place was the ideal location for myself, my daughter and grandsons. We were within walking distance to the Zoo the Wharf and right across from the beach! It had everything we needed. I have been going to East Beach area in Santa Barbara for over 30 years with my own children and it was wonderful to make the same memories with my grandsons! We hope to return next summer!

Best location, clean and comfortable

Our daughter lives in SB, but with growing family could not accommodate us. We have stayed on this street a couple of other times because of its location, but this was our first at Sunny's. Very clean, comfortable, with a garage (!), washer/dryer if needed and kitchen seemed to be well stocked. Would love to stay again when with friends.

Great Location, Underwhelming Experience

We stayed here with family while in town for a wedding. We all traveled from out of state and had 2 children with us under 1yr old. The reason you consider staying here is the location. 2 minute walk to east beach, 10 minute walk to the zoo, 25 minute walk to the pier. Restaurants and groceries also near by. This made it very easy to pack up and go with young children knowing we could get to and from the beach so quickly. Reasons to reconsider staying here- The unit is very dated. Everything squeaks, door, floors, bathroom hardware etc. This may not matter to most visitors but with young napping children for us it was an issue. The kitchen. Everyday we woke up the ants, including the day we checked in. The kitchen included nothing but dishes, pots, pans and coffee. No ziplocks, plastic wrap, Tupperware, condiments, paper plates or even tin foil. The ice maker did not work in the fridge. The BBQ igniter did no work either. The living space was adequate but really could use a facelift. No fans (ceiling or floor) for the downstairs living area which got quite warm during the afternoons. The floor mat looks more like a bathroom mat that is curling up at the ends. The garage. Good size, desperately needs a keypad to make it somewhat convenient. Anytime you leave, you either need to park the car outside while you go around and inside to open up the garage or if you are lucky enough to be riding with some have them do it. Either way it is super inconvenient. Also, unit had nothing for the beach. I don’t recall if it advertised beach supplies or not, but it has nothing. No hairs, umbrellas or even toys. Very unusual in my experience for a beach house to provide nothing. Bedrooms were good size, but like the rest of the unit, need updating. Bed squeaked, bedding was very worn, screen door didn’t work, ceiling fans would be nice. Like I mentioned first, the location is really good and in my opinion that would be the only reason to stay here. The owners could do a lot with this unit if they chose to clean it up, but frankly at the price point it was disappointing
