Good Things and Bad

Good things: House is in a good location on a nice beach. Owner has the house well stocked with paper products, beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, even a kayak.
Bad things: Significant ant problem in the freezer and a portion of the refrigerator. Less significant ant problem in kitchen and bathroom. The houses are right on top of each other so if you have a noisy neighbor it can be loud. We stayed in the bottom portion so you could not really leave the door open at night because anybody could wander in off the beach. Unfortunately this was the only way to get air into the house without the bedroom becoming stuffy.
Owners response:
Ants are an inherent problem with the beach. We all have them. Some years are worse than others. We do everything we can to control them. This is the first guest that has had a problem this year.
The houses are close to each other but everyone tries very hard to be considerate of neighbors.
I lived at the beach for 4 years and slept with the doors open all the time. It is a semi-private beach and no one is wandering around at night. If I had known it was too hot, I would have happily supplied fans. I had one in the upper unit in the closet and there should have been one in the lower unit also. It rarely gets too hot. The temps are usually in the mid 70s during the summer. This particular week it was very hot.

My friends and I spent the weekend at The Boat House in March. I can't even describe how beautiful the beach views were from the property.
The owner was very accommodating and it was just a terrific weekend all around. Can't recommend it enough.

I have not stayed in a more unique, beautiful, relaxing vacation home in my life. The view was sensational, house stunning and memories that will last forever.

The Boat House is the perfect place to get cozy with your closest girlfriends. The tenant is laid back, kind, and very helpful. The location is ideal and cab rides to downtown Santa Barbara are very reasonable. The house is breathtaking and makes you feel like you're anchored out on a private yacht. You can hear waves crashing as you fall asleep. Although there are only two bedrooms, there is plenty of room to sleep 8 people. I would return in a heart beat.

It is a great place.. Nice beach.. i loved listening to the beach waves sound from the living room. Wish the ground floor living room heater was working..
The owner was very friendly.. Great neighborhood, few exits from the Santa Barbara downtime..
