Contemporary comfort meets classic Santa Barbara in this fabulous home in the historic Bungalow District. Completely remodeled in 2008, no detail was left untouched in this gracious property. Each room has been finished with attention to style. The master suite with 4-post King bed boasts a large deck overlooking the city. The other 2 guest rooms are also tastefully furnished with King beds. All bathrooms have been thoroughly updated with new tile, floors, and fixtures.
The home is owned by successful film producers. Much attention was given to the large and beautiful Media Room. A 58" flat screen TV w/DVD and Surround Sound are enjoyed from brand new comfortable seating . Included is a daybed for extra lounging. A warm and cozy fireplace is the finishing touch on this special area of the home.
A second fireplace adds atmosphere to the family/living room. Reading and conversation are made easy with the quality furniture and lighting. The living room couch converts to a queen bed for extra guests.
The kitchen has new stainless steel appliances and is fully stocked with everything a discriminating chef would need. New cabinetry, in the classic bungalow style, creates an environment for slowing down and relaxing while in the kitchen.
The property is centrally located. It is an easy 4-5 blocks to State Street with all the wonderful shopping, dining and attractions of Downtown Santa Barbara. It is a 5 minute drive to the historic Santa Barbara Mission, the Natural History Museum, and Mission Canyon; the gateway to our beautiful mountains.

(transcribed from the Guest Book at the property) We had a fantastic time during our vacation/brother's wedding celebration in Santa Barbara, and much of it had to do with the great house we rented from Paradise Retreat. The "historic downtown retreat" was perfect for our group of brothers and sisters. The house was very pretty and accomodating to all of our needs. The beds were comfortable, the upstairs tv room was spacious for afternoon relaxing, and our favorite part, the deck off of the upstairs rooms was peaceful and perfect for evening drinks. We truly enjoyed our stay there and would recommend it to others who are looking for a comfortable place close to downtown, the beaches and the zoo. Thanks again!

(Transcribed from the Guest Book at the home) We came from Sacramento, Encinitas and Escondido for Spring Break! This house is wonderful! The kids loved "Kid's World" at Alameda Park just 3 1/2 blocks away. They loved watching movies on the big screen TV in the media room. All of us had fun on the upstairs outdoor patio. We enjoyed many fun family meals and the fireplace on those chilly mornings. We hope to come back on another family trip in the future.
