- other — Tripadvisor review of this Goleta resort (100 El Capitan Terrace Ln, formerly Ocean Mesa): the guest alleges a $100/night charge covering their extra car/tow vehicle/RV with no exception allowing the extra car to park on the rented site (it had to sit by the entrance), no real ocean view from lower sites, and heavy US-101 highway noise. Allegations. Original source
Themes: fees, management, amenities - other · 2023-06 — Tripadvisor listing page (Travellers' Choice property): a June 2023 review praises the clean, well-maintained park and improvements by the new owners but complains about the space lock fee and calls pricing top dollar; other top reviews are strongly positive. Sun acquired the property in 2020 per its SEC schedule. Original source
Themes: fees, management - google-reviews · 3.5 (210 reviews) · 2025-10-19 — Reviews via MapQuest average 3.5 from 210 reviews; most are positive about cleanliness and staff, but an Oct 19, 2025 review is a strongly worded warning against staying after something the reviewer found in their unit's kitchen (text truncated in the search result, so no specific allegation is relied on).
