About this property

Tranquil Private Resort Home in Paradise

This magnificent 1 acre estate is a fully walled private zen garden complete with a koi pond and a beautiful pool with a surrounding outdoor kitchen, barbecue, bar and fireplace. This Spanish style villa has 6 spacious bedrooms including two very large Master bedrooms, 7 spa quality bathrooms so every bedroom has it's own attached bathroom. We have a large gourmet kitchen with a butlers pantry and a separate dining area. There is a very large living room, a game room, and 4 indoor fireplaces as well. We have a motor court to accommodate guests parking. There is wireless internet and cable throughout the property. The property is near a large park, a hiking trailhead and the bike trail. A few minutes drive to the beach as well as the airport and a 15 minute drive to downtown Santa Barbara. We have a state of the art security system with cameras on the entry points and outdoor walkways. We have an on-site caretaker in a detached guest house. We will personally make sure that your stay is a memorable one. We love hosting guests in this stunning sanctuary. You will keep wanting to come back to this very special Oasis among the beautiful Santa Ynez Mountains on the central coast of California in this legendary place. Please no wedding inquiries! Unfortunately the local laws do not allow us to do that sort of thing. We are inundated with wedding inquiries and just don't like having to say no multiple times a day. No parties, weddings, rehearsal dinners. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay for a family vacation in April. The host and the caretaker were both very helpful with advice and help. Our 6 grandkids ranged from 9 months to 9 years. It was perfect for all. Lots of room. Our 3 adult children and their spouses loved it. We heated the pool and played in it every afternoon. We got to feed the koi every morning. Everything seemed close, hiking , beaches, playgrounds, airport, downtown Santa Barbara. Just a perfect getaway . The house had a game room (pool and shuffleboard) plus an exercise room. We had outings every morning and then hung out by the pool in the afternoon.

Anna's entire property was exactly what I expected from the description, photos, and previous reviews of the home. Each room and all the amenities were beautifully decorated and provided for down to the hair dryers, hair products and body wash in each bathroom. There were several extra pillows and blankets if needed. The kitchen was very well equipped with all the dishes, cookware, serving utensils and bakeware a large family would need to cook any meal. Each room was very clean. The home was well-equipped with everything I needed. The landscaping on the grounds was beautiful and well kept, as was the swimming pool. The game room and exercise room were a welcome bonus. The location was convenient and the neighborhood is quiet. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and I would recommend Anna's property to any group or family that needs spacious accomodations.

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!

This is an amazing property and despite some foul weather we enjoyed our stay. Having Becky, the caretaker, on-site was very helpful. She was very friendly and attentive. The outdoor space is magical and feeding the koi everyday was a highlight for everyone as was the massage chair . We did have some issues which we detailed for the owners after our stay and their response was very thorough and considered and they were quick to address our concerns. The property is older and clearly has continuous maintenance and other needs and was not as deeply cleaned as we would have hoped (we were stuck indoors for a portion of our stay and may not have cared as much if we weren’t spending so much time cooking and in the house). Overall, this is a beautiful and spacious four-star accommodation well suited for a family gathering.

Thank you for your feedback. We love the opportunity to improve. It was so disappointing that your stay was impacted by the most extraordinary, repeated rain storms we have experienced. It is very hard to keep our normal 5 star cleanliness ratings during such storms occurring before, during and after your stay. We have done a full deep cleaning. We are so glad you enjoyed the property in spite of the rain. Thank you.

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!

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.
