Riviera Retreat - Views and Elegance in Santa Barbara!
You will love the elegance, privacy, and sophistication of this spectacular view home on the Riviera. Designed with the same sense of style and quality you would find in a Four Seasons Resort, this property provides the lifestyle of Santa Barbara's elite.
The newly designed interior is classy and comfortable. Ample seating throughout the living room area allows for conversation and relaxing while enjoying the panoramic ocean, island, and city views. Dark hardwood floors are contrasted with elegant and simple furniture. A cozy fireplace adds atmosphere as the twilight fades and your evening begins.
The master bedroom feels like a hotel suite, with beautiful views from the foot of your King size bed. The master bath has a large Jacuzzi tub, and a spacious separate shower. The bathroom fixtures are of the highest quality and craftsmanship.
There is no lessening in experience for those using the other two bedrooms. Both are furnished with fine linens, and have private separate bathrooms. They also have great views from the sliding glass doors to the deck outside.
The kitchen is first class, with a Bertazzoni range, and Bosch dishwasher. It is well designed for cooking while entertaining. The large granite counter tops offer plenty of space for setting a buffet, or quick dining at the kitchen counter. A round dining table off the kitchen allows for great socializing at the end of each busy day in Santa Barbara.
Relax outside in the brand new six person spa. Located on a beautiful sandstone patio, it is perfectly situated to enjoy sunsets and city views. A bubbling fountain adds ambiance to the setting. This patio is also the gateway to the winding path which explores the natural gardens nestled among the mature and sculpted oak trees.
Riviera Retreat is near all that Santa Barbara has to offer. State Street, the heart of downtown Santa Barbara, is an easy 7 minute drive. Milpas Street, a 5 minute drive, has dining, groceries, shopping and a Trader Joes Market. One of Santa Barbara' s best beaches, East Beach is another 2 minutes down Milpas Street. Beach chairs and toys are provided for your use.
Riviera Retreat promises to be a warm and welcome escape from your everyday life. Come and share the lifestyle and views offered by this fantastic property.

(transcribed from the Guest Book at the home) What a memorable 40th birthday. Thank you for allowing myself and my friends to stay in this beautiful home and celebrate here. Everything was perfect. I could sit on the deck for hours enjoying the views and the sunset. We all hope to be able to return soon.

(transcribed from the Guest Book at the home) We stayed at Riviera Retreat over Labor Day weekend for a family get together. The house is beautiful with stunning views, very clean and well furnished. The kitchen had everything we needed and we were all very comfortable. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and relaxing on the patio and strolling in the garden. We had a wonderful stay at Riviera Retreat and in Santa Barbara. Thank you!
