Holiday rentals with beach access in Montecito

The library suite at The Marlowe is a great place for exploring Santa Barbara. The host was responsive, there was plenty of parking on the Monday and Tuesday we were there, it is two minutes away walking from state street, and the train station is viewable from the apartment. That was the only issue with location, the trains can be loud and make it difficult to sleep in. Other than that everything about the library suite was great. Plenty of amenities and even more charm. My favorite part of the suite was the balcony with the view of the mountains on one side and the beach on the other.

Spacious, clean lodgings on the first floor of an older home with very quiet renters upstairs. It worked great for our two-week stay in Ventura.

The inside was newly remodeled; nice and clean. It’s a .5 mile walk to East Beach.

Great spot right next to the beach. We watched the sunset on the beach, took bike rides to the pier and spent countless hours in the jacuzzi. Check in was seamless and the garage was an added bonus. Keep in mind that it's a tight squeeze and an SUV will probably not fit in there. The host was very responsive and took care of an initial issue with the hot tub. It was one of the main reasons we booked it and we were glad he responded quickly.

Das Haus ist optimal für die Gegend und liegt fast am Strand, sehr ruhig und sehr gemütlich! Ich kann nur weiter empfehlen! Vielen Dank!

The loft is exactly as described and surrounded by so many charming places to eat, shop, and relax. Paul has created an efficient and lovely loft. Oliver is super responsive, and all the instructions were very clear. It's near the freeway, so you can pop over to Santa Barbara or Carpinteria in 10 minutes. There is a bit of freeway noise, so earplugs might be helpful for light sleepers. But at night, it's a mix of ocean waves and light freeway hum, so it served as white noise for me to sleep really well on the comfy bed. A great location with great hosts!

Beautifully tucked between State Street and the beach, this place is worth the stay. We came with our one-year-old and had enough space to maneuver. Easy access to anything you’d want to do in SB. Cathy and team are responsive and easy to work with. They helped us check in a bit earlier than check-in to help us with our little man. Enjoy your trip!

Austin had great communication from the start and really easy check-in and check-out process. The space was clean, welcoming and had everything we needed. It was perfect for the 4 of us cozy space to regroup after our conference everyday - to eat around a table and chill out at night. We'd definitely stay there again!

Such a relaxing, peaceful and beautiful place to stay. We had a lovely breakfast on the patio followed with enjoying the swings, zip line and hammocks out on the grassy area.

Raymond is obviously a Super Host ! Every detail was taken care of. Bright, open interior and cozy backyard. Lots of separate “hang out” spaces allowed for different schedules. Close to a beautiful park and views of the ocean. Easy to get to downtown, grocery, etc. Highly recommend !

Diana was exceptionally kind and responsive throughout the reservation process and our stay. Her home is charming—simple and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and linens and towels, and a gorgeous view of the ocean from the lovely front porch. Walking down the trail steps (they’re steep) to town was quick and offered the chance to begin the day with coffee and a stroll. Her reasonably-priced place is a gem in an expensive region and her thoroughness and meticulousness makes for a great stay. Thank you!

Annie’s place is PHENOMENAL! Cozy, peaceful, private, and has everything we needed and more. This is the exact place you want to stay if you want the Ventura vibes, and want to be a quick trip from everything Ventura has to offer, but also far away enough to relax at home.

Was a perfect stay! His welcome packet was thorough and answered everything we needed. Would happily stay again.

good spot in great location. really nice backyard in a quiet neighborhood. walking distance to chase park and quick drive to everything else. if you have a little one that uses high chair place does not have one, and kitchen table isn't good for table chair set up, although outdoor table works well with it. everything else is great and would def stay there again.

I’m so pleased we found Casa Alamar, because it turned out to be the perfect home base for our visit to Santa Barbara. Charming, immaculately clean and well-maintained, tasteful and luxurious without pretense. Maybe « welcoming » is the right word. Everything we needed was provided and everything worked. (This was one of the few Airbnbs I’ve stayed in where I didn’t need to call the owner for instructions on how something worked. ) The location was super convenient, with good restaurants and cafes around the corner. I hope it’s available for our next trip to SB!

My son and I loved our stay at Glenn’s boatel. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer. We hope to come back next year and highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone who wants a unique and fun experience in surprisingly comfortable accommodations. Plus, the boatel is just a short walk to several great restaurants and shops !

Jane’s place is so nice. My husband and I stayed here and it was close to everything and the perfect size for us. We really loved the little sun room and hope to be back in the future!

Location on the Mesa was perfect! Walking distance to beaches, shopping and restaurants. Very quiet, comfortable beds and the hot tub and private back yard were a bonus. Thank you, we would definitely return if we are in SB again!

My wife and I spent a weekend at Eileen’s and all I can say is, it was one of the best experiences I’ve had on AirBnB. Eileen was super helpful and responsive, sent clear instructions, the place was exactly what we were hoping it would be, and Carpinteria is a beautiful town, wonderful people. We cannot recommend Eileen’s place strongly enough!

Our stay at Laura’s casita was wonderful! We arrived early and Lara graciously allowed us to check in early and even met us with her fresh baked sour dough bread, which was amazing! The casita is beautifully decorated and so clean. It is minutes away from the beach and the downtown area. It really was ideal!

Michael has a really nice spot near Ventura. Located near both the bay and beaches I would gladly stay again if in the area. Ventura is a beautiful town with a ton to do.

This is perfect for a couple or a family with 2 small children. The kitchen was well equipped if you want to cook but restaurants are within walking distance. The beach is a block away, as well as a grassy park. Would definitely stay here again!

Great host, great location, fun stay. Highly recommended. Jumped on the surfliner Amtrak and took our kids to the Santa Barbara Zoo. Hung out on the beach just down the road from the apartment. Awesome time!

Comfortable place in a great location. It is in a nice neighborhood a few blocks from the beach, but also only about a 30 minute walk to the far end of the downtown area. I was able to walk to so many activities. The kitchen doesn't have a lot of extras (like herbs, condiments, foil, plastic baggies, or that sort of thing), but has basic utensils and equipment. It was pretty quiet for the most part and it was fairly easy to find parking as long as I followed the few restrictions. One of the nicest perks was being able to hear the southing fountain outside (because the windows were open). It was a nice sound to sleep with. Instructions were clear for the most part, but I needed a little clarification on the lock box. It was nice to have a contact person on site that could quickly talk me through it over the phone.
