King bedroom, has a separate gated entrance (GATE B) that takes you through a private patio to the suite’s French doors. The bedroom includes an attached bathroom, TV, table for two, closet, and kitchenette. The kitchenette has a Kurig coffee maker, minifridge, and microwave.
Queen bedroom, was designed with serenity and simplicity in mind. The room is shades of tans and whites, dimmable lighting, large above headboard window with shutters for the option to have great natural lighting, and a good sized closet.
Both bedrooms have new Montecito style plastered walls.
The bathrooms, in the king room and in the hallway, have been newly remodeled, high pressure showers with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided, and great lighting directly above the sink mirrors.
The house has three private patios. The patio outside the king suite (through gate B) has a firepit where you can enjoy a glass of wine seated in one of four Adirondack chairs surrounded by beautiful landscaping. Through gate A, which leads to the front door/living room, the patio has shaded seating. Lastly, the back patio through the kitchen has a newly added dining table with overhead heating and lighting, a wine barrel pond, and BBQ.
We have lived in the other side of this duplex for over 20 years and even we are amazed at the transformation and popularity of our little town. Many food and wine critics now call it the new foodie hotspot of Santa Barbara county.

We stayed for 2 nights (4 adults) and everything was perfect. The house had everything we needed, more than enough towels and extra blankets that we used to settle in for a movie on the comfy couch. The beds and linens were great and we slept well. The house is very close to Mavericks with live music which is perfect for nearby dancing without having to drive. We had no issues with their music playing as the house felt well insulated from the outside sounds. The casino is just a quick 5 minute drive which was perfect for my parents who like to stay out as late. We took advantage of a quiet afternoon in the patio areas which have a tranquil atmosphere. We enjoyed eating in the back patio picnic tables with cozy white lights. Hubby was extra pleased with the height and water pressure in the shower. Our hosts in addition to quickly responding to our questions, provided snacks of chips, salsa, cookies as well as sparkling water drinks, bottled water and much needed half n half ( I forgot mine!) to go along with the coffee and k-cups that were stocked. Overall we were all very happy and satisfied. We highly recommend staying here and look forward to staying again.
