Our own private resort with activities for the whole family. We enjoyed the beautiful koi pond, private pool, game room, ping pong, and even a mini golf course! We love to cook and found every utensil and pan we needed in the huge kitchen with two dishwashers, five sinks and a dining table to seat 12. A spacious living room with a baby grand piano. Yet there were quiet spots by the fountain or in the meditation gazebo. We'll be back!
Stunning!!! We had a pretty large group stay here and it was a huge hit! The grounds are absolutely amazing! Everything was clean, the rooms were spacious and included everything you could possibly need. We are Phoenicians who vacation in California every year and this house blew every rental we have ever booked out of the water. The host, Anna and the caretaker were so kind and gracious. Thank you for making this special occasion a memorable one. We will definitely be coming back.
This was an amazing place for our family vacation!
This property was perfect for our family vacation. There was something for everyone, games and a pool for the kids, fire pit and games for the for the adults, and a beautiful property to enjoy. Our VERY large family had enough space to be comfortable and we enjoyed all the common areas to spend time together. Check in and check out were easy and simple. Ana was great making sure we had everything we needed. We are looking forward to coming back next summer!
This is an incredible house with plenty of room for our family of 10. There are six bedrooms that can sleep 6 couples. We really loved the well-equipped kitchen, the multitude of sitting areas, the great outdoor areas, the game rooms, and the massage chair. One of my favorite areas was sitting by the koi fish pond. I can't say enough great things about this property and will definitely rent it again.
This property has it all!! Pool, koi pond, billiards, ping pong, shuffle board, barbecue, massage chair, plenty of space…. We had a lovely time when family congregated to celebrate some family birthdays.
Our family and friends enjoyed the Memorial Day/long weekend stay at this beautiful property. It is very spacious and the garden with koi pond is stunning. The street is very quiet. Check-in was easy and all instructions were provided. Check-out was easy too (just put the towels in the wash and garbage in the container). Everything was in good working order and the kitchen well-stocked. Two recreation rooms with the pool table, table tennis etc. were a great addition. We asked for the pool to be warmed (extra charge), it was very worth it. Overall. great stay, highly recommend.
Comfortable, well maintained, spacious and interesting option for large family gathering for a long weekend. Loved the outdoor spaces and game room. Easy 15 min drive to pier and downtown Santa Barbara just a few exits south on 101.
The photos don't do this place justice! Our stay was wonderful. The grounds are gorgeous and expansive. They had everything we needed for a long weekend with our extended family, and their communication and accommodations were superb.
There were eight of us who stayed at this amazing property for a golf outing. Everyone in the group loved the house and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. In addition, the outside area and the grounds are just beautiful. Everything was top notch and we all highly recommend this property and house. The host was fantastic to work with and made everything so easy.
We stayed here with my close family members in celebration of our Elopement wedding. The home was huge and clean. The pool and pool house was a hit. Everyone enjoyed this people place, we plan to book again next year.
What an amazing 5 star property! I came in with a group of friends to golf Sandpiper and other local courses. From the minute we arrived all of the group was saying they couldn't believe how beautiful the property was. You won't be disappointed if you book this house.
Our three generation family Xmas gathering was well-served by this wonderful property. The pool was a huge bonus, the ping pong table saw a lot of action, and the exercise room was also appreciated. We cooked all of our meals in the well-stocked kitchen. A few more forks and glasses would be great for a big group. Honestly the house was so comfortable we only left the compound twice except for grocery shopping. Highest recommendation to prospective visitors. We were also very close to Goleta beach and the airport.
We were in Santa Barbara for a golf championship. The home was large enough to host our family and 4 golfers. We had a wonderful time and would recommend staying in this home. We will be back.
Perfect setting for a birthday trip in Santa Barbara
This listing was the best setting for a joint birthday trip with friends! We couldn't believe our eyes when we walked in, it truly felt like a villa/mini resort. The property was gorgeous and had everything we could think of. Pool, game room, putting green, etc., we were never bored. It is very conveniently located to get to state street, the beach, and all other SB attractions. The accommodations were beautiful as well and the host was incredibly kind and gracious. Check in / check out was simple and easy too. I can't recommend this booking enough for anyone visiting SB with a group, we will definitely be back for future trips!
The greatest highlight of this property is the swimming pool, the Koi pond, the size, the game room and golf amenities and it’s large with lots of bathrooms. Could use some more general cleaning before we arrived. Host had good communication. Easy check in. We had 12 people and could accommodate more spacious enough and close to airport.
Master room looked nice too!
We had a family reunion vacation planned in Santa Barbara and found this lovely house to rent for a 5 day trip. The house is beautiful and well taken care of. We loved the pool and the outdoor bbq. There is a pool table, ping pong, and board games as well. We didn’t need to leave the house to be entertained. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom, which was perfect as we had 6 family members and their spouses. I highly recommend this house to anyone who is visiting the area.
We were in town for a family reunion. This home was perfect!! Plenty of room to lounge around and visit without being crowded. Each bathroom had it's own bath. Beds were very comfortable. Large kitchen with plenty of room and all the amenities you would need to prepare shared meals. The grounds are beautiful and serene. The massage chair in the master was such an unexpected plus!! Dani was super quick with responses to all our questions. We are already talking about a return visit.
We were there for a birthday celebration among 12 friends. This home accommodated us perfectly! There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and be comfortable. There was not an amenity we felt we were without and easily cooked in the home as well. The outside area is serene and beautiful and there are some trails nearby. Thank you for the beautiful stay to celebrate a special occasion! We appreciated this experience very much!
