About this property
1905 Craftsman,3bdrms 3baths, PETS, Parking, Downtown! 2 blks State St, 7 Beach!
1905 original Craftsman home in downtown SB, walk to State St and Beach.
This offering is a Registered and approved Santa Barbara Vacation Rental and not subject to unexpected cancellation.
A 1905 original Craftsman home with a fenced PET yard and off-street parking. There are 3 bedrooms, 3 FULL baths (one in each bedroom) and a wonderful wooden original turn of the century feel. The Ocean Breeze Herb House has landscaping along the home and around the perimeter consisting of Rosemary, Sage and Mint. All may be snipped and clipped for Mint Mojitos or amazing fresh Rosemary Chicken for instance!
https://youtu.be/Olx9BujNkcc
The bdrms have Queens and a Full beds and there's are 2 small real mattress singles in two of the bedrooms for up to 8 guests.
Located 2 blocks from State St for nightlife and restaurants, this vacation home is walk-able from the Train station and 7 blocks to the ocean. More info is available at 'location.rocks'.
The Original House is a functional 1905 home directly downtown in Santa Barbara. This is not a boutique or high end rental, and does not try to be. Instead it is highly functional with a modern washer and dryer, a full kitchen and plenty of comfort and usefulness for up to 3 couples to each have a room and bath, and to gather in common areas like being at home (instead of a hotel lobby).
Because it is still the most often question we are asked; is it really 3 bedrooms? Yes!, 3 bedrooms each with its own full bath in each bedroom; 3 showers, 3 tubs, etc. The baths are small but each have a full tub/shower. 2 of the baths were added to the home during the last 100 years and were made to be small to fit.
There is a porch or 'stoop' and a sitting area in the front and off street parking in the rear yard. Smoking is not allowed inside but in the yard and outdoor areas it is allowed.
ADD-ONS and OFFERS:
1) Mexican Breakfast or Lunch! Prepared and served by our own Maria.
Authentic hand pressed tortillas and hand ground salsa! Huevos Rancheros style w Beans, rice and all ingredients from scratch. Guests choose salsa intensity. Breakfast or Lunch for 6 $150, add $18 per additional guest. Lunch and Dinner $175 and $18 each additional guest.
BONUS: Dining and Kitchen left perfectly clean and put away (Maria is main housekeeper).
2) Floral. During our housekeeping prep for you we will place beautiful sunny bouquet's in the living room (and dining if seperate) and smaller displays in each room. $85
The solid wood red oak floors are newly refinished and an attic forced air heater brings modern comfort to an original home from another era. Haley feels very much like a period farmhouse, with large airy rooms and a very inviting overall feel. Not a new house, but everything works and it is a comfortable and practical home for your use. We put a portable AC out during the warm 3-4 weeks of the year in SB, and this will make the kitchen and living room area more comfortable. It will not cool all the rooms but after dark you can open up so near the ocean, and the house is cool at night.
General Information. Please look this over.
Pets
We are pet owners and invite pets without upfront extra fee's. The floors are all hard surfaces and pretty much pet friendly. There is a fenced yard. If your pet causes visible soiling or pet hair in the home there is an excellent vacuum in one of the closets to stay away from extra cleaning fees due to the pet. Using the yard for non clipped nail pets and/or excitable pets will avoid possible damage. We do have a Pet Fee of $50 if we find beach sand or pet hair inside and any manner of pet waste which has been left for our crew to clean up inside or out. We want pet owners to have a no cost option, however you must mitigate extra cleaning caused by any pet. Vacuuming pet hair and light mopping a rooms floor if needed is an owner responsibility to avoid charges. Using the fenced yard (see pictures) and limiting the pet time inside might be a good minimization for instance.
Parking
The House has a driveway and rear parking for 2 cars, however 3 smaller modern cars will fit. The rear parking lot is designed to allow turning around to make it easier and safer to exit to the street. But there is room to get 4 or 5 cars off the street in a pinch. All but the final 2 or so will have to back out, old fashion style. There is street parking which can go quickly. Watch out for the weekly street cleaning hours!
Noise
The House is 2 blocks off State Street in Santa Barbara making this a genuine urban rental, complete with city sounds. Especially Friday and Saturday nights there may be street noise which will impact the front bedroom. Car sounds and foot steps on the sidewalk, etc. The other nights are noticeably better, but bear in mind that the most forward bedroom will not be the quietest one. A good alternative 'master' may be the rear bedroom which also has the exit to the back.
One room is smaller:
The middle bedroom is the smallest. We still have a queen in there for an excellent nights sleep. But there is not much room other than the bed and the bathroom. Good closest space though!
Infants and children:
This home is remodeled and designed for adults, tourists and traveling business persons. We welcome young children but at the same time do not recommend young children. The hardwood floors are far better than whatever might be in a hotel carpet. We vacuum, Pine Sol mop and rinse between EVERY guest stay. But we do not represent a clinically perfected environment and ask that you use baby blankets and normal hotel tactics to protect crawling young ones. Sometimes new parent bring expectations of hospital perfect surfaces and we are unable to please these guests to that level.
Walkability
Can you do a family trip to Santa Barbara and forego the car? You can at this House, in downtown Santa Barbara. You can Amtrak in using rolling luggage and walk to the Haley House ( about 5-7 blocks).
Air Conditioning
NOTE: Air Conditioning is rarely needed in the beach town of Santa Barbara. However there will be 2-3 weeks a year that can become uncomfortable. We have added Air Conditioning to our rental, however it is a portable model kept in a closet, and requires rolling near the living room window and attaching the hose and fitted bracket to operate it. If you close the bedroom doors this unit is sized to be effective for the living room/kitchen combined area, and help you avoid hot days. This is not central air. The evenings will be cool again and the whole house will be comfortable overnight in all the rooms. If you are here during a heat wave we will give you the combination to unlock the AC and you may use it. If the weather is normal we do not offer the AC, which is costly to run. Should you request it when the weather is 75 or less (because you wish for it) we can accommodate with a charge to cover the costs.
This district of Santa Barbara is unique and contains some of its original 19th century roots. The Haley House is 2 blocks from the corner of Haley and State, and until the Freeway was brought through Santa Barbara in the 1950's, the main drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco ran along Haley Street ( coming from Milpas, not out front of the Haley House ), then a right turn onto State Street to head North again toward the lemon groves and then on to Gaviota, and on.
The original cut stone curbing tells the old story of the neighborhood and it was easy to go out the door and down the street 5 blocks to the ocean back then. Now it takes 7 blocks so you can walk to State first and then under the Freeway. The train station dates to the time of Haley House as well, and this marked a new era for Santa Barbara. Prior to the trains arrival in 1899 and the station being finished in 1905, the only way in to SB was over the San Marcos Pass by stage couch or by ship, which would dock at Stern's Wharf. The wood work and lumber for the Haley house likely arrived dry at the location having been off loaded from Sterns Wharf. And not floated in from the barges as they did prior to the Wharf's arrival. Stern's Wharf is still the oldest operating Wharf in the West, serving people more than cargo these days. There are a dozen cruise ships that call on SB annually as well.
Haley House is still at the heart of SB, not in the rich foothills of the Mission or the glam of Montecito, but in the everyday area in the origin of Santa Barbara. Walk to nightlife and back home again. See the SB International Film Festival in January or the SB Fiesta in August. Come stay and visit the County Bowl for a concert! SB is a mile every 10 blocks, and the whole of downtown SB is within your reach from the Haley House within that distance or less.
