About this property
Beautiful home on 1/2 acre lush garden - and 1 mile to the beach!
Very comfortable and well appointed home on one half acre with lots of trees, grass, beautiful landscape-all the comforts of home without any of the usual responsibilities.
Located just 2 miles from the beach community of Carpinteria and an even shorter distance to the quaint little beach town of Summerland, and about 5 miles from downtown Santa Barbara where you will find 'fine to funky' dining, outdoor cafes, a great zoo, museums, street musicians, beautiful beaches, and plenty of outdoor activities for everyone in the family.
Enjoy relaxing afternoons around the pool and jacuzzi (pool is heated June-Sept. and jacuzzi is 'good to go' year round) on your new 1400 sq. Ft deck where you will find plenty of sun or shade to read that book you have not found the time to get around to. There are many different areas to relax and dine, even your own beach overlooking the pool.
World class Polo matches are played 1 mi away from May to September, at the SB Polo and Racket Club. Horse rentals are available 1 mi away with rides to the beach. Or you might want to join a wine tasting tour. There are many horse trails nearby (down the block) which allow riding, walking, or biking by pastures and creeks. Truly a beautiful area.
Make this your home away from home for all your get-away trips to beautiful Santa Barbara! Please read our reviews for more information. We have satisfied and enthusiastic guests!

About the host
Hosted by ed and/or joan
We are a semi-retired couple who travel quite a bit. When in town and our home is rented, we may stay in the cottage that is also on the 1/2 acre property. However, it is in the front part of the property, while the pool, spa, bar-b-que and deck are in the back part of the lot and well secluded with all the privacy our guests desire. In fact, we have often gone an entire week without seeing-or being seen-by our guests, since when we are in Santa Barbara, we are usually out and about from early morning till night time-working or playing.
An explanation on city taxes. Santa Barbara charges a mandatory 12% bed tax. In addition, they have now required a 2% Tourism Business Tax for all who rent rooms/homes. We have listed that in the charges as a 14% tax. Joan
Why they chose this property
Our neighborhood is very desirable for its quiet rural atmosphere and beautiful mountain views. Yet it is a short drive to many beaches, and Santa Barbara.
