They had a $5 off day pass if you check in on Yelp, so I walked in and was greeted by a friendly person who let me know my visit was on the house since it was my first time. They gave me a tour of the space and I was pretty impressed with all the amenities and work spaces. They even have booths for taking private zooms/calls. The kitchen was nice and stocked up with coffee and kombucha on tap--I was just overall amazed and the experience really brightened up the day. I got a bunch of work done and I can't recommend this spot more for people looking to cowork among other friendly folks. Thanks Kiva!

*** 3.5 stars *** I…read morewas searching for somewhere that we could work during the day on a trip to Santa Barbara and found the Sandbox. There wasn't too much information online, so I emailed back and forth with them with questions prior to our day trip to Santa Barbara, and they were fairly responsive. We were still a bit concerned how busy it would be and if it would have all the accommodations that we needed to work, but we decided to give a try. We showed up at the Sandbox just after opening on a Friday morning. The door was open and there was only one person working inside. The woman working there told us just to log in and but our day pass on our computers and that would serve as our access to the WiFi. She said she would only be there until noon so to ask her any questions before then. My bf had a bunch of meetings and needed a space to take them in so he had pre-booked the fish tank. But given that there was no one else there and there were three phone booths that were actually much better than the fish tank for taking calls, he talked to the woman up front who said that he could just email them to cancel the reservations. Also, it seemed like a free for all anyways. There was a woman working in there most of the day, including when he had reserved the time, and I did not see her reservations on the schedule. Later, when the owner initially did not want to refund him for the fish tank reservations even though the owner had been there all day and knew he did not use it. He had to go back and forth with him for a while and finally send a picture of the woman sitting in there during his reservation time before he got the credit back. Luckily, the owner finally refunded the money (phew, because I wanted to be able to return and I know that on principle there was no way we'd be going back without that refund). They had a mask policy but even the woman working there was not wearing a mask. Hmmm. All in all this was a great option for us for remote working due to its low price, location and convenience. Pros: - Great location, near downtown Santa Barbara but far enough that there's still lots of free parking nearby - Inexpensive for a day pass - 3 phone booths for private calls (but a free for all so if it's busy there's no guarantee you can get one when you need one) - Not busy so we had a table to ourselves (not sure if this will change post COVID) Cons: - Pretty basic set up, WiFi is good enough but not particularly fast - No amenities or extras (the kitchen has filtered water and maybe drip coffee) - WiFi seems to only work for one device since you need to log in to access it, but maybe you can log in on more than one device (I did not try) - A little nickle and dime-y

The sales person who signed my lease in the spring of 2024 was super hyper which made me somewhat…read moresuspicious. However, I went with my gut because the space semed right for me and signed up for a shared office for myself and one other person. From the moment I arrived, the temporary staff at the front complained non-stop about how unprofessional the office was being managed. I worked with them on various issues to keep things running smoothly. However, as time went on, it just got worse. There is no onsite oversight at the Santa Barbara location, so it's roll as you will, including the staff. I shared an office with one other person who was hardly ever there. And, I didn't ever leave any valuable equipment or items out. However, about 7 months into my lease, one day, they decided to turn our 2 person office into a 4 person office without any notification to enter the premises which is a breach to the terms per Access to the Accommodation. Reconfiguring the space is referred to a Material Breach of the Agreement meaning the physical aspect has changed without any agreement. Their rigid excuse was that this is a "Registration Desk" office, whatever that means, and that they're following "corporate office orders." Needless to say, I exited immediately as this was not what I signed up for and they effectively breached the contract. ***Word to the Wise...!!!*** They have an arbitration clause in the lease, so you have to go through the American Arbitration Association. This is a complete dead-end and they will try to either charge you big time to file, or even if they waive it, they'll side with the corporation and ask you to pay for their lawyer. It became a huge time chewer and a lot of jacking around with people who are freestyling through the process. ***If you're looking for a co-tenant office space, do not go here, it's subject to change at any time and you may find the space you rented isn't the space you get.***

Regus Has Not Returned My Retainer Months After Lease Ended -- No Response, No Accountability…read more I ended my lease with Regus on April 30, and per their stated policy, my retainer and any credits were to be returned within 30 days. It's now approaching 90 days, and despite repeated inquiries to both the local center and customer service, I've received no refund, no explanation, and no meaningful follow-up. Customer support has been non-responsive and entirely ineffective. Emails go unanswered, and when I do reach someone, I'm promised callbacks that never happen. It feels like a deliberate stonewalling. To make matters worse, the Regus center staff appears to be a revolving door of undertrained temporary employees, none of whom are empowered or equipped to resolve anything. They don't have system access, and in many cases, they don't even know what policies exist. it is not the fault of the people, but the company practices. I've filed a formal complaint with the California Attorney General -- something I'd rather not have had to do, but Regus has given me no other choice. If you're considering Regus, think twice before leaving them any deposit. Their administrative follow-through is unreliable at best and completely absent at worst.

I saw the mural wall on Yelp, and knew this was the place for me. It looks even better in person, and the story behind its creation is amazing! The owners are cultivating community and connection by creating a space where people can not only get work done, but convene and support each other. The interior design is intentional, elevated, and inspirational. I loved the design of the meeting pods, they felt more like mini offices. They also have wonderful snacks to choose from. And this is the first coworking space I've heard of that has a massage suite. Words fail to describe how epic this place is, I think it would be amazing to rent out for team meetings, retreats and other events, and don't even get me started on the podcast room. I would totally recommend renting it out if you want to create podcasts or video content in a dope space. I can't wait to return. If you have a chance to visit, please do.
