The Rooftop Garden ROCKS
We loved our stay at Chapala Gardens. The location is perfect…close walk to the beach or State street. The accommodations were clean and as advertised. The rooftop garden stole the show. My wife and I ended up fixing dinner at home on 3 of our five nights because the rooftop was the best location in town. We also ate breakfast up there each morning. Sandy was an excellent host.

Great family celebration and stay in Santa Barbara!
Excellent location and units in Santa Barbara! Sandy (host) was very communicative and helpful! We had a family dinner on the rooftop patio (our family had rented all three units) and Sandy offered tables, chairs, and other help to make it a great experience. The unit is very close to the beach and close to town center where some amazing restaurants and shops are.

Comfortable and convenient
We enjoyed our stay at Chapala Gardens. The weekend was unseasonably rainy and cold, so plans for biking and hiking shifted to local theater and use of the rain gear we smartly brought!. Gave us a good excuse to hunker down and enjoy the two fireplaces and covered porch. The location (and rental car) afforded us to either walk or to drive to our targeted activities. Quality and comfort - - - all the comforts of "home away from home". Our parade was definitely not rained on, just rerouted!

Ideal SB Location
Wonderful place with charm, walk to beach, Jeannine's, Biergarten, Santa Mezcal, Brophy Bros! Short drive to Jaffurs for wine tasting and Barbareno for dinner. All great food and experience. Relaxing on porch watching dog walkers. Large bathroom and bedroom, 2 closets made it easy accommodations. Thank you!

Santa Barbara week stay
location was fantastic! close to water, Funk Zone and State Street. While we had a car... didn't need it or use it except for day trips. Beach chairs and towels very useful. Rooftop garden is lovely and while shared with other 2 units, was very private. Ability to grab some salad greens and herbs was a real bonus! We will definitely be back!

Sandy’s place was amazing. He is a great host and property is really nice. Location is unbelievable. Walking distance to all of the highlights Santa Barbara has to offer. State street, Funk Zone, Sterns Warf, The marina, all next door to you. Sandy’s place was really nice and clean, and he was so nice to make sure are check in process was easy and that we were comfortable. Really appreciate everything. I will most definitely stay here again if I’m in the Santa Barbara area.

Santa Barbara home
This is a great home for a getaway with family. We were able to have dinner and enjoy the evening. Just like being at home. So close to the beach and entertainment. We walked everywhere, so didn't rent a car. Lyft was cheaper than uber if we needed a ride. All the comfort of home. Our only issue was the deep tub. Getting into it at our age was a bit of a challenge. Would stay again without hesitation.

This is a great location, and it is an older house with character. The rooftop space is shared with the other two rental units. The stairs are accessible from the front porch, so you will have some people using your porch to get to the stairs. There is not a lot of privacy.

What a great space for my wife and two you boys. Although we didn’t use the kitchen it had everything you will need. The master bed and bedroom space is exceptional. The quiet street and location to restaurants and shops was perfect, only a block from beach, restaurants and shops. Honestly you can’t ask for anything else with Chapala Gardens.

Wonderful stay for a long weekend
This is the second time we have stayed in this property and it is just about perfect. The one bedroom apartment is open, spacious and the bed is super comfortable. The kitchen is full size and it is easy to make meals if desired. The location is awesome because it is so close to the beach, the pier and restaurants--but it is also quiet (although there is occasional noise from the train). BUT...unfortunately they have not yet replaced the shower which is a definite disappointment. It is a large tub but in order to access it you have to climb over a tall ledge (and I'm pretty tall and still had some trouble) Plus with only a rain shower and barely adequate water pressure it takes forever to wash your hair. Meanwhile water splashes all over the place in spite of a round shower curtain. It's a shame that such an awesome place can't have a descent shower. Of course then I'd want to stay much longer--hahaha!

Chapala Garden
This is a lovely place, made especially beautiful by all of the flowers and plants that surround and are on the porch (huge yellow hibiscus, lots of succulents) and the rooftop. It is extremely convenient to lower State Street and the waterfront. On the downside, parking can be a bit tricky on weekends, as the area is so popular. And, the additional charge for using the sleeper sofa seemed excessive. However, I would certainly return here. It's an unusually convenient and beuatiful find.

Sept. Vaca was perfect
The house is the perfect distance to the beach, restaurants and shopping. It's spacious and clean. The AC didn't seem to work from every vent. The only suggestion would be to add one more shower curtain. Had to be very aware of not getting the wall wet or the bathroom floor. We would definitely return to the house! Thank you for such a nice stay.

Relaxing retreat, a short walk from the beach and all downtown Santa Barbara has to offer
My husband and I stayed in this charming retreat for a weekend full of family wedding activities. The home is centrally located so restaurants and the beach were within walking distance and farther afield activities were a short drive. The front porch is perfect for relaxing, surrounded by Hibiscus and other greenery and there is an amazing rooftop deck. The host Sandy is fantastic and very helpful. We can't wait to stay again!
