"On previous trips to Santa Barbara we’ve stayed closer to the beach, but for this mother/daughter trip with an independent teen I wanted to be close enough to Street street for my daughter to browse shops while I worked. Best. Location. Ever. Drift opens directly onto the first few blocks of State street which are closed to through traffic. It’s vibrant, lively and safe. I had cocktails at the Dusk lobby bar, we borrowed bikes to explore the beach trail, parked our car in the lot behind the...

8.0 out of 10, Very Good, (1)
"Really awesome experience. Very modern facilities. However, picture on VRBO misrepresents the room you actually get. The one pictured on VRBO is the top floor unit, which is what I thought I reserved, but was on a lower and smaller room, which was still very nice. It just would have been nice to see what I was getting through VRBO, which is usually the case. I didn’t see a disclaimer on the site, but maybe I just missed it."
