This is an incredible house with plenty of room for our family of 10. There are six bedrooms that can sleep 6 couples. We really loved the well-equipped kitchen, the multitude of sitting areas, the great outdoor areas, the game rooms, and the massage chair. One of my favorite areas was sitting by the koi fish pond. I can't say enough great things about this property and will definitely rent it again.
This property has it all!! Pool, koi pond, billiards, ping pong, shuffle board, barbecue, massage chair, plenty of space…. We had a lovely time when family congregated to celebrate some family birthdays.
Comfortable, well maintained, spacious and interesting option for large family gathering for a long weekend. Loved the outdoor spaces and game room. Easy 15 min drive to pier and downtown Santa Barbara just a few exits south on 101.
The photos don't do this place justice! Our stay was wonderful. The grounds are gorgeous and expansive. They had everything we needed for a long weekend with our extended family, and their communication and accommodations were superb.
There were eight of us who stayed at this amazing property for a golf outing. Everyone in the group loved the house and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. In addition, the outside area and the grounds are just beautiful. Everything was top notch and we all highly recommend this property and house. The host was fantastic to work with and made everything so easy.
Our three generation family Xmas gathering was well-served by this wonderful property. The pool was a huge bonus, the ping pong table saw a lot of action, and the exercise room was also appreciated. We cooked all of our meals in the well-stocked kitchen. A few more forks and glasses would be great for a big group. Honestly the house was so comfortable we only left the compound twice except for grocery shopping. Highest recommendation to prospective visitors. We were also very close to Goleta beach and the airport.
What an amazing 5 star property! I came in with a group of friends to golf Sandpiper and other local courses. From the minute we arrived all of the group was saying they couldn't believe how beautiful the property was. You won't be disappointed if you book this house.
We stayed here with my close family members in celebration of our Elopement wedding. The home was huge and clean. The pool and pool house was a hit. Everyone enjoyed this people place, we plan to book again next year.
Perfect setting for a birthday trip in Santa Barbara
This listing was the best setting for a joint birthday trip with friends! We couldn't believe our eyes when we walked in, it truly felt like a villa/mini resort. The property was gorgeous and had everything we could think of. Pool, game room, putting green, etc., we were never bored. It is very conveniently located to get to state street, the beach, and all other SB attractions. The accommodations were beautiful as well and the host was incredibly kind and gracious. Check in / check out was simple and easy too. I can't recommend this booking enough for anyone visiting SB with a group, we will definitely be back for future trips!
The greatest highlight of this property is the swimming pool, the Koi pond, the size, the game room and golf amenities and it’s large with lots of bathrooms. Could use some more general cleaning before we arrived. Host had good communication. Easy check in. We had 12 people and could accommodate more spacious enough and close to airport.
Master room looked nice too!
We were in town for a family reunion. This home was perfect!! Plenty of room to lounge around and visit without being crowded. Each bathroom had it's own bath. Beds were very comfortable. Large kitchen with plenty of room and all the amenities you would need to prepare shared meals. The grounds are beautiful and serene. The massage chair in the master was such an unexpected plus!! Dani was super quick with responses to all our questions. We are already talking about a return visit.
We had a family reunion vacation planned in Santa Barbara and found this lovely house to rent for a 5 day trip. The house is beautiful and well taken care of. We loved the pool and the outdoor bbq. There is a pool table, ping pong, and board games as well. We didn’t need to leave the house to be entertained. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom, which was perfect as we had 6 family members and their spouses. I highly recommend this house to anyone who is visiting the area.
We had 15 women for a bachelorette party, and I think the house was the highlight. Everyone was able to have plenty of space and separate quarters. The pool was the perfect temp for August without the need to heat it. There were not many floaties at the house, so bring some with you if you want to float. There were also only 8 lounge chairs by the pool, so if you have more than that, be prepared to accommodate. Kitchen was very nice and well equipped. We enjoyed the game room.
We were there for a birthday celebration among 12 friends. This home accommodated us perfectly! There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and be comfortable. There was not an amenity we felt we were without and easily cooked in the home as well. The outside area is serene and beautiful and there are some trails nearby. Thank you for the beautiful stay to celebrate a special occasion! We appreciated this experience very much!
Great family time. Paid extra for heating the pool. It was a lifesaver. Kids swam everyday.
It rained and rained and rained. No one to blame for the weather!
Expansive property well-suited to a large family/group
This lovely oasis in the hills above Santa Barbara comfortably accommodated our family of 17. Six bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom, and sofa bed in the game room with its own full bathroom. The large modern kitchen made a wonderful gathering spot and place to prepare meals. The pool and surrounding area is where we spent most of our time, enjoying the always gorgeous Central California weather.
Our guests enjoyed visiting downtown SB, hiking the local trails, going to the beach, and taking a day trip to Solvang. Many amenities are within a 10-15 min drive of the property. Dani, the property manager, was very responsive to all questions. We had a lovely visit and would stay here again.
Jenn, the host, was sweet and accommodating. She called us before we rented to learn more about us and our needs. Our entire family was there for Christmas! The house is simply amazing, spacious, private, quiet, and fun. With the game rooms, the pool, the very long dinning room table, the extraordinary living room, our adult children loved it. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We cannot say enough positive about this special home. We will be back! Thank you.
We were so impressed with this fabulous property which we rented to gather as a family for my mother's 90th birthday. The photos don't do the property justice. We wanted a place that we could all enjoy for the weekend and this was the perfect spot. It was incredibly spacious with a great layout that allowed privacy in our own rooms/ bathrooms, but also provided areas to relax as a group. The kitchen has everything you need with all best appliances and is well stocked with pots/ pans and enough glassware/ flatware/ plates to serve a larger group. My boys loved the pool table and game room. Sadly it rained most of the weekend so we didn't have much time in the beautiful pool but the outside is well cared for with a beautiful Koi pond. We were able to make group meals with have plenty of places to eat together. The host Dani was very responsive and flexible. Great vibes all around. I wouldn't have changed a thing.
Pretty property with ample sleeping - great for large family!
This place is a pretty mediterranean style home. It is a good design with sleeping on one side and activities on the other so people can sleep and others can hang out, play pool, shuffleboard, etc without disturbing others.
The kitchen was nice and big. The house is definately worn and kitchen cabinets, drawers and inside drawers dirty. Windows dirty with hand prints etc. The washer had lots of mold in it (front loading washer that isn't maintained). For cost and level of home, i was surprised to have Kirkland Shampoo/Conditioner and grubby stained towels. Kind of silly to keep asking for trash bags, paper towels and TP. I did like that they had a large trash can dumpster for large groups! That filled up fast staying there for 6 nights!
This is not a private home in that pool maintenance, koi maintenance and property caretaker are around. Lots of activity but everyone very nice.
I would suggest them to have another fridge or get the drink fridge by the BBQ replaced before a big group rents it. so, bring coolers if you have a lot of food and drinks
