Why the Owner Chose Santa Barbara
We initially purchased our vacation cottage because one of our children was attending school in this location, but we quickly fell in love with this beautiful city and all of the cultural and outdoor activities that it offers.
The Unique Benefits at this Single Family Home
We love the Spanish Colonial charm of our cottage, our private garden with orange trees and our quiet neighborhood. We especially love the fact that we can walk everywhere! We take daily walks along East and West Beaches to Shoreline Park or out on Stearns Wharf. We love to walk to our favorite restaurants, Brophy Brothers and Enterprise Fish Company. We often walk to the movie theaters on State Street or to the Farmer's Markets on Tuesdays and Saturdays. We walk to the Santa Barbara Sailing Center, where we can rent a sailboat by the hour or take whale watching cruises. We walk to our Athletic Club to work out, to East Beach to pay beach tennis or volley ball, or to West Beach for swimming or tennis. We often picnic at Shoreline Park. We love the proximity of Santa Barbara City College and the opportunity to take classes there. We also love all the cultural events offered at the Lobero and Granada Theaters and other venues accessible by foot. It is truly a dream come true to spend time in this city.
Owner's Map of Santa Barbara
We live in Vail,Colorado where we work as ski a instructor and volunteer as mountain hosts and tour guides. We love to escape to Santa Barbara during the "mud seasons" in the spring and fall, where we enjoy scuba diving, sailing, beach tennis, hiking and wine-tasting. Prior to retiring in Vail, we both practiced law in Denver, CO. Our adult children continue to live in Denver and love visiting us in both Vail and Santa Barbara. Jim & Bobbie Ruh

06/28/2002 Spring, Trevor, Elle and Jamie Kigen The first Santa Barbara experience for one of our party and a homecoming for a Santa Barbara native in our group. The “casa”—its charm and location added to a wonderful week of sun, sand, swimming, surfing, running along the beach, getting together with friends and family, shopping, relaxing and just enjoying the beauty surrounding us. A week was too short!

05/27/2002 Darrell, Sean & Natalya Great location, warm home, awesome garden and yard. We enjoyed walking to the beach, State St. and generally ignoring our car during our stay. Spend a couple of nights snuggled up in front of the great fireplace. A great base for enjoying Santa Barbara and we hope to be back before long. Enjoyed your staff!!!
