Wood-burning fireplace and Santa Barbara. Nothing is more perfect.
Location: Mission Canyon, Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Area, Central Coast, California, USA
Accommodations: Private home, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
Few areas are more beautiful than Santa Barbara, and your home-away-from-home is nestled in woodsy Mission Canyon with privacy and views of the Channel Islands. Designed by a protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright, Kem Weber, you will enjoy the natural environment of the canyon.
Relax in the foothills above the in-town tourists, and experience Santa Barbara as a Local. Only 5 minutes away from everything, including a city shuttle to the beach and downtown, this one-story, easily accessible home is ideal.
The front walkway winds past a garden of native plants sheltered by four giant oak trees, with a succulent garden at the entrance. A brick, covered patio in front is ideal for watching the sunset, while the back covered patio is perfect for sleeping, reading... or just plain doing nothing.

Santa Barbara is a beloved destination for travelers.
* This mild-weathered, year-round, California Riviera town has maintained limited growth and caters to two adjacent wealthy communities, thus the area has available the services and entertainment of a much larger town.
* Dozens of movie theaters, several live theaters, symphony, opera, art galleries, museums, and active nightlife, and great restaurants are examples of this influence. All are open year-round.
* Four area colleges, including a University of California, contribute to this rich culture as well.
* From this home you are a 10-minute drive to quiet beaches, great restaurants in a quaint downtown and mountain walks. Drive another 20 minutes and you are in the increasingly discovered Santa Ynez Wine Country, where the Danish village of Solvang is a popular stop and ballooning is available.
* Santa Barbara Harbor has boats to take you out deep-sea fishing, scuba diving on the Channel Islands, whale watching or just a sunset cruise along the coast.
* Stroll along Cabrillo Boulevard every Sunday for blocks of selected art and crafts by local artists or rent a bike for use on the extensive bike paths throughout the town.
