Owner's Map of Mesa
Rosie and I fell in love with Santa Barbara after a number of visits in the 1970s. Now we have lived here for 30 years, we never get tired of being here. The weather is always great and there are so many activities from restaurants, to wine tours, to hiking and sightseeing all within a short distance.

Dear potential rentor, Welcome to our guest book. Should you end up renting our home, we would love for you to enter you comments about your time at our home after your stay. Many of the questions we receive concern the convenience of our home to the beaches, parks and various other sites and shopping around beautiful Santa Barbara. Our past guests have all felt that the ocean views and decks were well beyond what they imagined.
