As described

Place was as described. Plenty of room for my family and close to our daughter at Westmont. Space and amenities were convenient. Property next to freeway and busy road. But sound machine in the bedrooms drown out the noise. Didn’t bother us.

Great Thanksgiving Stay

House was clean and had a great kitchen and large family table/dining room for Thanksgiving meal. Yard was large enough for the dog to stretch his legs. Bedrooms were large and each had own bathroom, so that was nice with 2 teens. Some road noise was the only thing I’d say was a”negative“ and with a white noise machine we barely noticed at night.

Great weekend experience

Place was clean and pictures represented the home accurately. Plenty of space for our group of 8. Property managers were responsive and check in and out was easy. Night time noise from the street was rather loud and the bedrooms did not have sound machines or tvs to drown it out. TVs in bedrooms would be a nice addition for visitors who would like to decompress in their rooms. Even with this, we would recommend and would stay here again!

High School Girlfriends Reunion

The hosts were very nice and accomodating. Staying in Carpenteria was a perfect location. Walking to the beach is not practical but it's only less than a five minute drive to Loon Point. We all appreciated having our own bedrooms and each having our own bathroom too. The layout of the house worked well and were comfortable relaxing in the home. All amenities were thoughtfully provided. The background noise of the 101 freeway took getting used to but does not outweigh the benefits of this lovely home.

Great Location

This house was perfect for my family of 4 adults and 2 kids. The location was perfect for all of our activities. BBQ worked great for us although the traffic noise prevented us from enjoying eating outside. Having a private bath in each bedroom was an added bonus as well as the use of all beach toys. Being able to park one of our cars in the garage was an unexpected perk.

This is a big house and nicely furnished. It backs up to the freeway so there is a bit of noise if you’re in the backyard. It was a wonderful getaway and we enjoyed our stay!

Good for family

The house was exactly what we needed for our weekend stay. It was close to the wedding venue. Easy access to freeway. What caught my interest was it “walking distance to beaches”. That’s true if you’re a young person who likes to walk a ways. I thought it was literally down the street but you have to cross over a freeway. I gave 4 stars because it is not suitable for light sleepers as it is between a busy street and freeway. Otherwise no complaints.

Nice for multiple couples

My family stayed here for my daughter’s graduation from UCSB. It was very convenient to have all relatives attending the graduation in one house. With every room having an attached bath, it was easy to get ready. The beds were comfortable. The drive to Santa Barbara and Isla Vista is not bad and the price was reasonable. Owner was responsive and nice. Lots of amenities for the beach and a nice backyard. It is located on a busy street, but we used the shoulder to back onto the driveway, making it easier to get out.

Family Fun

We so enjoyed this lovely home with four bedrooms and a bathroom for every room. It was so easy to reach the owners with a couple of questions, who themselves happened to be in Hawaii babysitting their grandchildren. I only have a couple of suggestions for safety and comfort. The futon in the downstairs bedroom needed to have a comfortable topping for the mattress because futons notoriously are pretty uncomfortable to sleep on. The other thing for safety would be gripper strips or rubber pads in the tubs as they were very slippery and had no safety bars to hang on to.( I am an older adult, so this was important). We had an absolutely amazing fun time with our family and thank the owners very much for sharing their home with us! Oh, – – – we also saw our first polo match which happened to be a final, and was less than a mile away. So much fun!!

More than expected.

My oldest daughter was getting married and we had two of our other daughters and two grandchildren with us. The 4 bathrooms came in handy when getting ready. The house was equipped with more than expected with cooking and service utensils and serving platers and bowls. Lots of little extras such as popcorn, hot chocolate and tea. We enjoyed our stay had plenty of room and the house seemed as we were in our own home. Thank you Leo and Tia Blickley we had a spectacular 4 days.

Spacious and comfortable

Our family really appreciated having so much space for our stay. We needed a place for two weeks with our dog and our kids, and everyone enjoyed it. My husband was able to work from the office desk downstairs, the dog enjoyed the backyard and beach nearby, and the kids enjoyed the big living room and tv. The laundry was convenient, the kitchen was well stocked with tools, and most importantly there was a bottle of wine :) The one room facing the freeway was a little louder at night than the others, although the kids did not care and we used sound machines. We’d definitely go back.

Leaves much to desire

We stayed 4 days and 4 nights at this place, costing 3K. The place was reasonably clean but the carpets had stains and the walls too. The place definitely can use a fresh coat of paint. Fixtures, furniture, linens, towels and everything else is very dated and average at best. The kitchen was not well stocked - no ziplock bags or Saran Wrap or Aluminum foil. We had to get coffee, sugar. There were left over cookies and tea bags from who knows when in the kitchen cabinets. One set of place mats was old and warped. The trash bins in the bathroom were without liners. The front and back yards were nicely landscaped and pretty

handy location, reasonable comfort, but cleanliness issues

Reasonable place for 6-7 people close to Santa Barbara/Carpinteria LOCATION: on higher speed arterial behind a freeway not great for aesthetics, but it is easy to access for car/bike outings, while not great for walking. Freeway noise is tolerable. The rooms are convenient, including main floor bedroom w/ futon for avoiding stairs. VIBE/SETUP: functional & pleasant enough but not going for a "destination" feel. While mostly "as advertised" a few thing were not quite accurate/inadequate: utensils/flatware/dinnerware were spartan in places (few flatware items – needed to hand wash before using dishwasher), missing scraper/spent spatulas/etc, no garlic press, tho specialty items like mixer were there. We had to buy foil, saran wrap, etc.. The master suite was described as having a "Jacuzzi tub". It was neither Jacuzzi brand nor jetted. CLEANLINESS: weakest point. Sheets/comforters visibly soiled in downstairs bedroom - we had to wash. Similarly, we had to hand wash numerous few plates/utensils ourselves. Insides of bdrm drawers were dusty, so we spent some time dusting things so that we could put our clothes in the drawer and not have them get dirty. Wall-to-wall carpeting upstairs is "tired". Bathrooms not all stocked w/ TP but we found from other places. We should have asked for a break in cleaning fee. OTHER: providing charging, beach toys, basic bikes = nice. Correspondence w owners good at times, but not responded to at others (e.g. when alerted to cleanliness issues).
