You can easily spend several days here and not encounter another person. The Suite is completely sanitized between each guest visit..............Our over 275 CURRENT reviews, 5 Stars say it all. ONLY 1 GUEST UNIT ON PROPERTY. A TRUE HOMESTAY!

PLEASE NOTE; that unlike almost all "pool;" properties we have a large and TOTALLY PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL and NOT a community pool which is often mis-portrayed in listings as a private pool on premises but in reality is a shared condo, public or apt. pool. Just remodeled. Suitable for lap swimming........
Heated n/c May thru October. Hot tub avail always!!
We are here to "advise" first time visitors on the best sights, restaurants, tours, etc. if they wish. Fly directly into our lovely SB airport easily from Seattle, Phoenix, Denver, Dallas or Chicago. Avoid LAX hassles!! We are a very unique property. You will have a real SB homestay experience with us. But, if you want complete solitude and no interaction, that is fine.

High profile guests book with us because of our privacy and discretion.

We are very flexible on check- in and check- out times in accordance with your flights and other travel plans. Scheduled on a case by case basis by your hosts. CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST included for first morning. Snacks too. New Keurig and complimentary coffee/cream whenever you wish. (French press also) Excellent Wi-Fi Reception on property.

Fabulous views from pool deck area and from inside Suite. Reminiscent of French and Italian Rivieras.

Lots of local small wildlife and birds visit our yard regularly. Two small rescue dogs on property who love guests.l Caged iguanas in residence. Photo ops! See our fabulous new iguana walk-in cage. A botanical delight with an abundance of flowers and plants and birds of all kinds. Perfect retreat for the discerning guests. Swim day or night in (84+ degree)heated pool. during summer months. Run of property at will. Pool heated by solar and gas. We are similar to a casual higher end hotel /resort in atmosphere and privacy. No other property offers what we do. Easy off street parking.........

One of the most spectacular views in SB, yet 5 to 10 minutes to everything. We greet all of our guests in person to make sure they are comfortable and settled in. We are discretely on property (a senior couple) when guests are here and are available for whatever you might need. No management companies!! Total privacy.
No standardized rules to observe.......A true vacation in your home away from home. We are respectful of your privacy but also enjoy good conversations with our guests........We have ......boogie boards, chairs for the beach.......

Anne was a wonderful VRBO host. Her unit was amazing, a great central location in Santa Barbara, and had awesome views! All her amenities, pool, hot tub, etc were great and we made use of them every night of our stay, enjoying the view and sunset. Check in was very smooth, and Anne had great communication and suggestions for different activities and restaurants. She was very welcoming and we had a great stay. Would love to stay again next time we are in town.

The view is amazing from the bedrooms, pool, and jacuzzi. We were engulfed in a natural sanctuary featuring botanic diversity, inspiring statues, chirping birds, and butterflies. Our host was generous with food and beverages and eager to engage with us. Santa Barbara is a great city, for our family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers. We especially enjoyed the beach, pier, and a full day dedicated to enjoying the pristine pool.

The property was lovely and in an incredible location. Our hostess was delightful and every possible detail was thoughtfully attended to. The only issue we had is that we thought it was a standalone property and was more of a traditional property with a kitchen.
