About this property
Private Pool Home, On Acre-Near town, Families love it!
Imagine your own private retreat, close enough to walk to the Mission of Santa Barbara and yet when on the acre property you will feel like you are away from it all in your own private Shangrai Lai. The Frank Lloyd Wright inspired design maximizes the enjoyment of the sprawling one story 3000 sq feet house. The house embraces a spectacular solar heated pool and backyard patio from which you may fully relax in the fantastic Santa Barbara weather. The mottled black bottom pool is like a "Matisse" painting adding to the ambiance of the beautiful yard. Rates include local taxes and fees
Peacefully sleep in the quiet setting. Those who are early risers will not disturb those who want to sleep in as the bedroom wing is at the opposite end of the house from the kitchen living and dining areas.
Two gorgeous fireplaces, one in the main suite. The second is a striking cathedral ceiling high edifice in travertine accenting the unique atmosphere of this incredible home.
Access your entertainment apps on the 77 inch Large screen TV and with the cable TV in the living room. Cox gigablast the highest local speed available everyone can stay connected. TV’s in all bedrooms as well. Plenty of space to work from home if needed.
All the comforts of home with full kitchen, 5 burner stove/convection oven, dishwasher, washer/dryer and the space to stretch out and enjoy yourself after enjoying all Santa Barbara offers. We are blessed with beautiful weather in Santa Barbara. For the rare very hot days, air conditioning is provided in three bedrooms and kitchen.

Santa Barbara the 'American Riviera': In Santa Barbara you can hike in the mountains and swim at the beach on the same day! This property is located on a beautiful tree filled acre property with views of the mountains. Just a short walk to the Mission and the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. Walk to downtown Santa Barbara through Rocky Nook Park and distinctive Upper East neighborhoods. The beach and Montecito are just an easy 10 minute drive. Santa Barbara offers a wealth of cultural and athletic activities from kayaking, windsurfing, whale watching, fishing, biking, golf to local theater, museums and cultural events.
Please be advised that this property is to be used only for the guests on contract and we do not permit large gatherings or more than four cars at any time at the property.
The pool is typically heated to a comfortable temperature by a rooftop solar heating system May to November (70-85 degrees). Heating the pool with gas in the winter or shoulder seasons can be arranged with a $100 a day additional fee arranged in advance, not needed in summer. The jacuzzi is heated on demand and is provided with booking.
There is an electrical plug for plugging in an electric car in the carport. Please notify us if you wish to do this in advance. There would be a $7 a day extra charge for electricity.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Wendy Rockwood
Wendy and Chuck are longtime residents of Santa Barbara. We are happy to share our love of this community with guests. In fact, that is what makes being vacation rental owners of four properties and managing them ourselves so rewarding. We have made many happy memories in all of our properties (we have lived in each one of them) and can share all the special features and local ideas with guests. We love gardening, biking, walks on the beach and spending time with our own family which includes three grown children and five grandchildren and two great granddaughters!
Why they chose this property
We have lived in Santa Barbara for over 50 years and we Poolside is the best location in town. We are close to everything and can go to any area, Montecito, downtown, the beach, Goleta, all without having to travel on the busy freeway. Coming home to this property is always like a breath of fresh mountain air. Yet, we can still walk downtown through the historic area around the 'Queen of the Missions.' We often take in it's beautiful rose garden and walk through the distinctive Upper East side which is filled with the elegant historic homes.
What makes this property unique
Our first trip to this home was like falling in love for the first time. We just adore the backyard patio area and pool for relaxing and refreshing ourselves. The sprawling nature of the single story layout is also fantastic for hosting guests as the sleeping areas are separate from the kitchen and active areas.
Nestled on an acre the property is truly a private retreat. The hawks fly overhead and the many birds enjoy with us the fantastic gardens and orchards which surround the property. Our piece of Heaven.
With having a direct relationship with the owner/manager you will deal with one person from your booking to any necessary details during your stay.
