Best Family Reunion Ever!

This residence is an ideal location - central to Santa Barbara, Carpinteria and even if you want to take the train to LA for the day! The hostess is the best hostess ever & helped us plan every detail of our stay. The home is spacious with many wonderful gathering places to spend with family. We highly recommend this home!!

SMITH ANUAL FAMILY VACATION

Our entire family enjoyed our wonderful week at this lovely home. It is fully stocked with everything we needed. There are so many beautiful features inside and outside. Our two oldest granddaughters slept in the yurt and had a great time. We all enjoyed the eggs from the hens for our breakfast. The beds were very comfortable for everyone. We can't say enough nice things about this house and would love to return in the future. Dina was very responsive to our needs and we appreciated that.very much. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a truly beautiful vacation home.

Outrageously fabulous

What a fabulous find. Everything and I mean everything was perfect. We had the most wonderful family vacation here. All 13 of us give it 2 thumbs up! It is without a doubt the best appointed villa/home that we have ever stayed at. We had a professional photographer come to do a family portrait at the beach and decide that the property was so beautiful that we did them in the front yard instead. I highly recommend staying here. I know we will definitely return. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. ❤️

Everything we hoped for

Our family booked this house so we could all stay together for an important wedding weekend. It was perfect! Communication with the owner was fast, friendly, and efficient. Plenty of room for 12 adults, and so relaxing! It is more beautiful and welcoming than the photos!

About the host

Hosted by Dina

We raised 4 children here and love it too much to move away. We are renting it while we travel but hanging on to it so our 5 grand children can still come over and play at their favorite house.

Why they chose this property

This property has the best of everything. It is private, it has space, it is close to the freeway but not too close. The neighborhood is filled with the nicest people.

What makes this property unique

Obviously, being close to the beach, Santa Clause lane, Summerland, Montecito are all benefits. The secret benefit is that there is a marked hiking trail right out the front door. The biking to/from Carpinteria is amazing. There are challenging rides and well as rides for the casual cyclist.
