Summary: A Beautiful place with the river behind and the Ocean almost in front. The rooftop garden is marvelous and a wonderful treat to sit up there and see the city and beach. It tok 5 min. to walk to the end of the pier to watch the sunrise. I wish I could share soe of the pictures here. Thank you.

Summary: We had a great week at Chapala Gardens. The location is perfect, apartment had everything we needed including a new water filter (much appreciated filling our water bottles before heading out), the rooftop is amazing and Sandy is attentive and helpful. The pictures exactly match the apartment -- it's cute and comfy, bath & furnishings not updated, but we understood that going in.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay . Easy check in process . Great communication with owner . The bed is really great. You can easily walk to the beach and to all the great restaurants nearby. The only negative is the parking the weekend there is only 90 minutes parking from 10 am to 5pm.

Summary: Location, location, location! Awesome. So much was wonderful. Just being in Santa Barbara 👍. A few things could be described better. Parking has some restrictions. Shower is a miniature. If it gets chilly at night, heat was an issue for us. Never actually saw owners. Spoke on phone. But did I mention location? That made up for some little deficiencies.
