Pristine Santa Barbara Apartment with Hot Tub and Mountain and Ocean Views

Located in the hills above the city, you are only 2 miles from State Street, (the main artery for shopping and restaurants) and four miles to the beach, pier and art walk. The closest stores and restaurants are minutes away, though you may feel nicely removed from the city in this hilltop escape surrounded by spectacular views of the ocean, islands, mountains, oak trees, plenty of nature and by night - a span of glittering city lights.

Enjoy the morning views of rolling hills, orchards and mountains and the sun rising over the ocean casting pink and lavender light throughout.

Citrus, jasmine, roses and ocean breezes accompany you as you walk the grounds that lead through natural pathways, gardens and orchards on this 3-acre fully-gated estate.

This downstairs one bedroom suite is tastefully decorated with new appliances and beautiful furnishings. Apart from the spacious king bed the space features a partitioned area with a twin bed as well as a pull out couch. Comfortably sleeping 5 people.

After spending your day enjoying Santa Barbara's many activities including shopping, wine tasting, hiking and the beach relax in the private hot tub overlooking an amazing Santa Barbara sunset.

Being so high up in the hills, unfortunately it is prone to spiders which we had more than what we wanted to see.

Not so pristine
This place was tired. Pristine was maybe 5 yrs ago. Hot tub was not working. Glassware service for 3. Construction going on just outside the porch. Should have picked hotel rooms. Vrbo needs to do something about this as you do not get what you supposedly paid for prior to arrival.

Beautiful view!
The check-in process was really easy and the apartment had nice new appliances. The apartment also had the amount of beds as advertised and not to mention the view was amazing! Even though the apartment is on the bottom level on the house, it does feel quite private. However, there were some issues such as parking, construction, tree trimming and cleanliness that might all be attributed to the fact that the host originally claimed that she wasn’t expecting us but then said she remembered after all. Not sure what the truth is, but either they planned to have construction and tree trimming done while there were guests there, or the host did actually forget. Not sure what is worse. All in all the experience definitely could have been better. This is a good place to stay if you’re not planning on being at the house most of the day.

Beautiful View
The rental was well maintained and the view was spectacular. It should have been more clear about the second bedroom that was very small with no windows. Also, I was disappointed that we could hear other people in the house. Upstairs needs carpeting. People were clomping around all the time and someone was washing dishes at 4am.

Ok but not great..
Host was very accommodating to us when asking to come early and the property was cute but many ants in the house, noticeable sounds of critters running around in the walls at night, owners being home and working in garage, boxes everywhere outside properly, missing fire alarms, 3 towels for 6 people.. it was ok but not great. I would suggest no more than 4 people stay here. Wonderful view and location.

Great view!
The view was great. Manager could use a checklist to assure the apartment is equipped. We had to request more plates, towels, a garbage bag. We didn’t have sheets for pullout sofa and stopped trying to communicate when texts went unanswered. Hot water is limited so chose your shower time wisely. Otherwise the view was great,beds were comfy. Hot tub is relaxing and an overall great time was had by all.

Great place to stay to enjoy an amazing city
My friends and I stayed at this apartment for the weekend, and we had a wonderful time. The apartment was very clean and looked like the pictures in the listing. The views are amazing, and it's a very short drive to the main strip of restaurants and shopping areas. It was exactly what we wanted and expected. The property manager seems very chill and reasonable too. No complaints!

Outstanding Experience!
Let me start off by saying the pictures do not do this place justice. The view is breath-taking and the rooms are larger than they appear in the photos. Location was awesome as just about everything is within a handful of miles (nothing over 3. Patty and Paul were excellent hosts!! I highly recommend a stay here!!

Hosts were noisy.
Pros - Beautiful view. Great location for jetting to state street (10 min) or to various hiking locations. Cons - as was mentioned throughout other reviews, the hot tub was unusable, and the hosts overall seemed kind of disinterested in being hosts. For example, the VRBO app didn't have any check in or check out instructions. This was mostly fine (I don't mind hands-off hosts) but the hosts were also loud. You hear every step from above the rental unit, which was fine during the day, but they kept us up in the middle of the night doing what sounded like vacuuming and moving furniture around at 5AM. I don't go to rental units expecting the same treatment I'd get from a hotel but this fell really far below my expectations.

Million dollar view of the beautiful Mission Cannon Valley
Rest and Relaxation is just what I found at this home in Mission Cannon. The Million dollar is so much better in person than online you have to see it for yourself trust me won’t be disappointed Especially at night when all the houses around are Lit up.We found it pretty close to the restaurant’s, fisherman’s wharf, and of course State Street.We had a wonderful Christmas here I would highly recommend this to any and everyone.

Great views that come at a price.
While the property was clean and ready for our stay, the location was not announced to us until a few days prior to our check in. We were surprised to find that the property sits at the top of a extremely steep driveway, with a significant cliff side edge running along one side of the driveway. The apartment is in the basement of a home, and is pitched toward the cliff, triggering vertigo. King size bed was comfortable, and the area was fairly quiet. The exception was hearing the property owners walking above us around 5am each morning. The hot tub is an inflatable that leaks and had filters misplaced in the interior rather than in the proper filter cartridge. There is no dryer--just a washer located in a dark storage space under the home. The stereo amplifier did not work even though we tried to add a fiber optic cable that the owner provided to us. The Internet was spotty throughout our stay, going in an out. The kitchen utensils and glassware were sparse, the floor lamp had a strobe effect due to a faulty bulb, and one chair had a broken back. Appliances look great but provide temperature readings in celsius. Toilet makes a high pitch whistling sound, requiring frequent flushing even during the night. After seeing a previous complaint about the Internet, we tried to reach the owner 3 times about the internet before our stay and never received a reply.

Beautiful view and lovely hot tub
We enjoyed staying on the property. The view was beautiful as the house is up a steep hill and overlooks all of Santa Barbara and you can see the islands on a clear day. The hot tub was nice and hot. The house is very nice as well. The only downside was that there was a loud whining sound coming from the pipes that interrupted our sleep on multiple occasions. I am not sure exactly what caused this. Overall, our stay was very nice and the owner was very helpful and kind.

Good, but some issues
First, the good. Comfortably slept four people, could squeeze six I guess. Clean. Good location near town. Comfortable king mattress. Beautiful view from property. Fire pit. Now, the bad. The owner, Patty, was out of town so I had to call someone else for any issues rather than being able to use VRBO chat. The person in the home also had MANY guests at night and someone parked us in, though they moved their car pretty fast. The normal parking area for guests was largely blocked off by a mound of dirt. The hot tub smelled very chemical but more importantly, has no bench. You’d be sitting on the hard floor if you used it so we didn’t. I also asked how long to heat it. The guy said “not long” I googled it and it would’ve taken four hours if we’d bothered using it. We weren’t told about the mound of dirt blocking most of where we were told to park. So, good overall, but some frustrations.
