About the host
Hosted by Sean Kirkpatrick
I am originally from San Francisco, but I’ve lived in Santa Barbara half of my life. I’m a California native through and through. Though I’ve lived in Europe, three times. I love Santa, Barbara and Goleta and I hope you will too.
Why they chose this property
I love that the home is near the beach, near Bluff and open space as well as shops.
What makes this property unique
I feel that my home is very clean detail oriented. Kind of Zen, with plants and a sense of harmony and great light with high ceilings.
