PLEASE NOTE; that unlike almost all "pool;" properties we have a large and TOTALLY PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL and NOT a community pool which is often mis-portrayed in listings as a private pool on premises but in reality is a shared condo, public or apt. pool. Just remodeled.

We are here to "advise" first time visitors on the best sights, restaurants, tours, etc. if they wish. Fly directly into our lovely SB airport easily from Seattle, Phoenix, Denver, Dallas or Chicago. Avoid LAX hassles!! We are a very unique property. You will have a real SB homestay experience with us. But, if you want complete solitude and no interaction, that is fine.

High profile guests book with us because of our privacy and discretion.

Lots of local small wildlife and birds visit our yard regularly. Two small rescue dogs on property who love guests.l Caged iguanas in residence. Photo ops! See our fabulous new iguana walk-in cage. A botanical delight with an abundance of flowers and plants and birds of all kinds. Perfect retreat for the discerning guests. Swim day or night in (84+ degree)heated pool. during summer months. Run of property at will. Pool heated by solar and gas. We are similar to a casual higher end hotel /resort in atmosphere and privacy. No other property offers what we do. Easy off street parking.........

One of the most spectacular views in SB, yet 5 to 10 minutes to everything. We greet all of our guests in person to make sure they are comfortable and settled in. We are discretely on property (a senior couple) when guests are here and are available for whatever you might need. No management companies!! Total privacy.
No standardized rules to observe.......A true vacation in your home away from home. We are respectful of your privacy but also enjoy good conversations with our guests........We have ping pong, ........boogie boards, chairs for the beach.......

.Local guests and relatives are welcome to visit ONE DAY for your 3-4 night stay. Full use of pool and facilities, but no overnights.
For stays of 5-7 nights, guests welcome 2 DAYS to enjoy our property.....N/C

The property was lovely and in an incredible location. Our hostess was delightful and every possible detail was thoughtfully attended to. The only issue we had is that we thought it was a standalone property and was more of a traditional property with a kitchen.

Santa Barbara Retreat

My wife and I stayed at this property, along with our dog, for a week over the 4th of July. When we arrived we were greeted by the owner, Anne, who showed us around the property and introduced us to her two fun dogs. Anne was very friendly and helpful with recommendations for places to eat and things to do and see, although we spent most of our time relaxing in the sun at the private pool and jacuzzi. The views and the gardens are amazing, and my wife really enjoyed meeting the resident iguanas! Overall, this was a perfect relaxing getaway!

Beautiful and Relaxing Get Away

The stay with Anne is one of our most memorable VRBO rentals. The pool, hot tub, and view were amazing but our favorite feature was the garden. The garden is beautifully maintained and added to the relaxing vibe of our trip. It reminded me of being in a life size zen garden and I couldn’t help but be inspired for nature photography. It was the perfect place to have your morning coffee, afternoon stroll and evening beverage. The wide array of plants, flowers and fruit trees (orange and lemon) added to the undeniable beauty of the property. The most unique part of the stay was Anne. She was welcoming and shared her wide array of Santa Barbara knowledge. We absolutely loved seeing her dogs on property and her two iguanas. If you are looking for a unique stay this is the place for you.

Excellent base for Santa Barbara fun

In the hills close to central SB (~1.5 mi, 10-15 min drive), a lovely suite with drop-dead gorgeous views of SB and the ocean in the distance. Extremely well-appointed 2 room suite with doors opening to the lovely patio pool and hot tub. Lots of personalized books and info for the SB tourist inside, a reflection of the terrific hosting spirit of the owner. Outstanding stay, highly recommend it!

We loved watching the sunset from the jacuzzi and the big panoramic views from our room were awesome. Anne stocked the place with snacks for us.

Paradise in Santa Barbara

This gorgeous property is even better in person than the listing. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the views, gardens, and of course the private pool and jacuzzi. The host was very helpful for restaurant suggestions and places to visit. It is very convenient to downtown. We did not rent a car but could easily walk and Uber everywhere. We enjoyed our visits from the host’s friendly, well-trained rescue dogs and cat. We would definitely come back and recommend to others.

The grounds are a paradise with a lovely garden, pool and spa. There are even friendly visitors who will come visit if you like . The dogs and cat are an added plus if you are homesick for your pets.
