About this property

Bungalulu, A Secret Oasis

Ahhh, BUNGALULU, is a stand-alone cottage hiding precisely 800 baby steps from Paseo Nuevo! She is hidden from the street inside a secret gated Oasis. Filled with treasures from far and wide, curated with the utmost attention to detail. You will want for nothing, can shop till you drop, eat till you can't, dance till it's time, drink till you better stop, then roll home to little Bungalulu as she sits in the middle of it all, cozy and warm just waiting for you.

Mimi was a dream to be our host very attentive, responsive, but not hovering or intrusive. She has a highly professional approach to offering units via VRBO.

It was pure pleasure to host you both and most especially Chrissy! You are all welcome back anytime.

About the host

Hosted by Mimi Greenberg

Host profile image
I am from Northern California, a small island called Robert's Island. I arrived in Santa Barbara nearly 40 years ago for a 4 day vacation. My second trip was a month later with a moving van. I have been selling real estate ( and buying for myself) for nearly 40 years. If I wasn't an agent, I would work for the Santa Barbara Chamber of Commerce. Both jobs entail sharing Santa Barbara's beauty with anyone interested. That makes for a fun job.

Why they chose this property

Bungalulu is smack dab in the center of the Historical District. It is perfectly located for those who like to STROLL. What better way to get to know a town, than exploring on foot? Everything is a stone's throw away, the location just doesn't get any better.

What makes this property unique


I am prejudiced, of course, but based on what past guests have said, Bungalulu is located in the perfect place, is a perfect size, and has everything they need. I have several guests who stay year after year. Enough said.
