A Great Place For Billionaires

by TheSmartTraveler Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 16 '00
Pros: Scenic Beauty, Architecture, Nature
Cons: None, unless you want to buy real estate
While taking a California road trip, we spent a little time in Santa Barbara and thought it was just about perfect except for the real estate prices. Santa Barbara is the place to have mountains in front of your house and the Pacific Ocean behind it....

by charles Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Nov 12 '99
Pros: Great city..Nice & Cool Breeze...Lots to do..A City On The Move
Cons: Downtown is somewhat crowded, depending on the time...No complaint
In a crescendo and with a symphony-like harmony,
the waves of the ocean faithfully caress the seashores
to the delight of the fun-seeking tourists, beach bums,
traditional sea-goers, and week-end artists
whose craft and meticulous...

Isla Vista- still drinking the drinking capital of the west coast

by usudar00 , Jan 17 '00
Pros: Great community, like no other, college years!!
Cons: Expensive for crappy housing, too many outsiders coming in on weekends
Except for my first year living in the dorms, I have called Isla Vista my home going on three years. Isla Vista is like no other living experience anywhere, and I can guarantee you that. Although it has mellowed out from its hayday, or so I hear, Isla...

Santa Barbara: Spa Culture & Minors in Possession

by Mr.Eyore Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Nov 15 '00
Pros: Great food, nice hotel.
Cons: Face lists frighten me
Review Topic:  OverviewSanta Barbara may well be the nicest little college town you'll ever visit. And I'm surprised that I find myself saying that, because it's also a tourist town that caters to very wealthy Angelenos with as much torque built...

Santa Ynez Valley

by zygoat , Jul 14 '01
Pros: Beautiful country. Well traveled, but not hugely crowded.
Cons: Might be very hot during mid-summer.
I traveled to Solvang, CA in July of 2000. Mainly I went to attend a Monty Roberts Join-Up Clinic at Flag Is Up Farms. What I didn't know is that there is a little town
out there that is somewhat of a replica of Danish culture. There are all sorts...

Can't miss spots from a former native

by possumspice , Oct 22 '04
Pros: Beautiful, great weather, relaxing, friendly people, good food.
Cons: Lodging is expensive, not many cultural activities.
Having lived in both L.A. and S.F., I am what you might call a bit of a city girl. However, when my last job took me to Santa Barbara, I had the chance to discover the joys of a more laid-back lifestyle. Santa Barbara is a ridiculously picturesque ...

Santa Barbara a little part of Heaven

by Fitznco , Jan 26 '00
Pros: Diverse people and places, the ocean and mountains all in one view
Cons: on the expensive side.

The Party Scene in Santa Barbara

by voodoo57 , Dec 06 '99
Pros: lots of bars and clubs
Cons: drunk men who think they can score with a college girl
Contrary to other opinions the party scene in Santa Barbara is alive and kicking. Trust me, I spent the last four years of my life researching it. ...you just have to know where and when to go. Typically the party weekend starts on Thursdays and if...

Riverside"s Great Historic Hotel

by gudrun19 , Feb 18 '00
Pros: Historic Wonderful Hotel
Cons: This review should be in the Palm Springs, San Diego Area. Sorry

Great for mini vacation

by lutefiskhater , Aug 27 '06
Pros: Perfect weather, no car needed, lots of charm and history
Cons: Expensive and lots of homeless (occasionally verbally abusive to tourists)
The wife and I love to visit SB one or twice a year. We often go there for a 4-5 day long weekend. Cars are not needed, and actually a burden, as parking is nearly impossible. Everything you need or want is within walking distance or by the 25 cent ...
