About this property
The Santa Barbara Whale House
Your own private health retreat and bathhouse.
Welcome to our psychedelic sculptural home from the 1970s. Inspired by Gaudí, the Whale House's flowing curves contain a 75 foot saltwater pool, ozonated peroxide hot tub in the second floor bedroom, hand-carved sauna, and outdoor shower. The three rooms sleep up seven people and feature organic mattresses.
A close walk to the Botanic Gardens and a short drive to downtown SB.
As seen on HBO's "Zillow Gone Wild," New York Times, Dwell, and The LA Times.
