About this property

Quintessential Spanish-Style Home With Enchanting Details!

Villa Talavera is the quintessential Santa Barbara home. Completely remodeled to accentuate traditional Spanish architectural charm, this single-level 3 bed/ 2 bath home is sure to win you over during your stay on the American Riviera.

The home offers beautiful ocean and city views. Enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning on the sunny deck with a view of the islands and a glass of wine in the evening watching the lights come on across the city. Relax in the spacious living room, complete with a fireplace and copious amounts of natural light. The kitchen is well-equipped for even the most discerning family chef, and dining area offers plenty of space to eat and enjoy.

Catch some zzz's on the comfortable king-sized bed in the Master bedroom, and wake up to ocean views! The second bedroom boasts a queen bed and garden views, and the third bedroom has is a twin daybed with a trundle pull-out. The backyard is a calming oasis; fall asleep in the hammock, under the shady protection of mature oak trees, after enjoying a meal al fresco on at the outdoor dining table.

This retreat is nestled along an established road leading into the Riviera, and is conveniently located so that you are still within minutes of downtown, the beach, and the Mission. Villa Talavera is a true oasis for those coming to Santa Barbara for an extended stay, hoping to live like a local while enjoying authentic architecture and accessible design.

Please note that there is an attached studio apartment below the main house, but it is unoccupied except by the owner on rare occasions.

Lovely property in the Lower Riviera

Villa Talavera was a great property for our extended stay in Santa Barbara. The property was the perfect size for us as a couple who both work from home. We had plenty of room, but extra space for guests to come visit as well. The home was clean and well-stocked, with gorgeous landscaping and outdoor areas. Plus, the location was perfect – just 20 mins walk from State Street.
Response from VrboOwner on 8 January 2026
Hi Alyssa, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so glad Villa Talavera was a perfect fit for your extended stay and remote work needs. It's wonderful to hear that the space, comfort, and beautifully landscaped outdoor areas made you feel right at home, and that you had room to host visiting guests as well! We agree, the Lower Riviera location offers the best of both worlds, peaceful surroundings with easy access to State Street and everything Santa Barbara has to offer. We'd be thrilled to welcome you back anytime! Warmest regards, The VROSB Team
