The accomodations there were absolutely gorgeous. I actually can't wait for a reason to go back again soon. DETAILS... This was the perfect place a get-away weekend with my husband. The garden and suites are all beautifully arranged on the property, the garden had a beautiful layout, the pool and jacuzzi were amazing (seriously amazing), and our dog had just as much fun as we did. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The suite was clean, the TV had an HDMI cable that we were able to hook our computer up to to watch Netflix, the bed was very comfy and clean, and bathroom was very clean, and the overall space was exactly what we were looking for. There are enough parking spots for all of the guests, and all of the guests were very low-key and pleasant to be around. Although all of the suites were rented out we actually barely ran into everyone and it felt as if we had the entire area to ourselves. I think one of the biggest perks on top of all these amenities is that our dog was allowed to enjoy the place just as much as we were. We are looking forward to another reason to take a trip up to Santa Barbara/Montecito area so we can stay here again! I would definitely recommend this place.

Carla is such a nice and caring hostess! Piper and I are anxious to come stay soon!read more

I'm writing this message here as Air BnB won't give me the ability to leave a review…read more.. Extremely disappointed in my experience with Danielle. I had made a reservation over three months in advance for our family to stay at her Carpinteria Beach house for the 4th of July weekend. Unexpectedly, our reservation was canceled with less than a week before we were to check in. No explanation provided by Danielle. My wife and kids were devastated. She gave us a refund, which was the least she could do, but nevertheless, we were in a scramble to find an alternative place to stay on a busy holiday weekend, with increased prices and little to no options. But the worst part of this whole mess, is when we went onto Vrbo to find another place to stay, what do we find? Danielle's listing, available for rent on the days we had previously booked. This is extremely unethical. We trust hosts on Air BnB to be transparent and reliable when we give them our business and I can't help but feel taken advantage of.

I've rented many homes in my life - both long and short term - never have I ever not got my security deposit back (or at least the vast majority of it). Miraculously, at the end of my stay, they found a way to charge me almost exactly the amount of my security deposit through extra bogus charges. I'm opening up claims against them and hoping they can't pray on more people.

There's some woman there named Dianna or something who is extremely nasty and a professional crook, along with Melissa. You will regret dealing with these shady people. The place was filthy, infested with rodents, garbage in the yard, beds weren't clean, kitchen and bathrooms disgusting, absolutely nothing like the photos. Hopefully you'll see these reviews before deciding to rent a property they manage, but usually we only go on Yelp to write reviews after a horrible experience.

The views from the condos are the best in Santa Barbara and they are within walking distance to the wharf where there are numerous restaurants from which to chose. The harbor is also within walking distance and it has restaurants and a fresh fish market. After selecting the fish, barbecuing the fish on the top deck of the condos offers stunning views of the coastline. It is a great place to relax with a glass of wine and enjoy the view and company of other people who are staying at Seacliff. There are also yoga classes offered weekly. Seacliff is now opening the viewing deck for small weddings. Seacliff is one of a kind in Santa Barbara and the management is on site and responds immediately to any issue you might have-small or large.

We always get a first floor unit, so we can just walk right out onto the sand to the ocean. It's truly bliss. The condos are great, beach friendly, and really all you need. Also all you have to do is park your car and keep it parked because you can walk everywhere. Little story, two years ago, we thought we'd try another place just to see. Well, it was terrible and two days in I called Carp Shores and they said "Come on over. We have a condo for you!" Can't wait to be back this summer! So thankful for the no smoking on the balconies policy, that was the only bummer for us:))

I found the Villa Elegante by searching Google Maps via satellite mode…read more The more I studied their website the more curious I became. We choose to avoid all hotels during COVID and needed a pet friendly accommodation. Melinda informed me only the lower units were available for small pets, we took the San Nicolas. Even though I would've preferred an ocean view deck, the truth is the ocean is only one block away. The modest interior decor, fully equipped kitchen, patio views and spacious rooms created just the right vacation/residential experience we had hoped for. I imagine the fact that the Villa Elegante only caters to weekly and monthly contributes greatly to the good condition of the furnishings. The overall cleanliness more than met our expectations. It's a little strange to me more reviews aren't posted for this company since we found all aspects of our experience were very positive. Maybe the Canadians are not big Yelpers? But as of September 2020, this vacation property was a good value for our money. Thank you Melinda.

The location was just a block from the beach and close to a few necessities and even lovely restaurants. The place we rented was the "Santa Rosa" and it was spacious, so clean, great accommodations. Everything was well updated and kept up. We loved the 2 car private garage. Helped with moving my daughter out of her apartment! I do wish they had a pool, but again the beach was just a block or two away. We loved staying at Villa Elegante and definitely plan to stay here again! Thank you Melinda!

My room was a little small but I was traveling alone and not doing much work in the room. Everything was spotlessly clean and well maintained. It was a little tight for my evening yoga (had to move a chair and still be mindful of my space as I was tapping the door and a wall with my big wingspan) but no big deal. I sat outside and read later in the evening after I returned from a long stroll for dinner, drinks and some exploration of the area to the south called the "funk zone" which has some great local businesses - well worth the time to do an evening beer crawl or something through there.

In the office they always have a snack tray for people staying at the hotel.

We will return again soon for a quiet, relaxing stay. We loved the kitchen area in our room and the owner puts a fresh orchid on the dining table. The outdoor patio is a great place just to sit and read a book. Could not ask for a better place to stay at in Santa Barbara.
