Area Wildlife

Our location is home to a good deal of wildlife. During the day, it’s not uncommon to see pairs of hawks and falcons flying overhead, woodpeckers in the trees, vultures riding thermals and numerous kinds of song birds. Occasionally, small groups of mule deer, a coyote, bear, raccoon, possum or skunk might wander by. At night, if you’re lucky a great horned or screech owl will float noiselessly above you as crickets and frogs sign you a serenade. At the beach, almost daily, you can spot schools of dolphins playing in the waves while brown pelicans and sand pipers hunt for food. Don’t forget the iconic seagulls who would love to share your lunch. The Carpinteria State Beach is home to tide pools best viewed when the tides are low. They are home to starfish, small crabs, anemones, mussels and the occasional baby octopus. This is only a sampling of the cool animals you’ll see if you’re lucky.

Great Place to Stay
All of us enjoyed to stay very much and had so much fun in the game room. Even going to beach was easy with beach chairs provided. Quiet neighborhood and very clean and good location to Santa Barbara in 10 - 15 minutes. If you plan to check out the Channel Islands National park departing in Ventura, only 30 minutes away from the house. Beds are all comfortable. In addition, the host responses very quickly. In 7 minutes from the house near Summerland Fuel depot in Carpinteria, there is a street with several restaurants and some shops to check out. We didn’t know until last day to get a gas! 😂

Family get-away
Sea Breeze cottage was the perfect place for my family to enjoy a wonderful, long weekend. There was so many fun things to do together at the house ...and my 2 year old great nephew had plenty of toys for playtime, too! The property is lovely, clean, neat and well-appointed - and quite close to the many activities that Santa Barbara has to offer. Thank you Donna and Kevin - you are wonderful hosts.

Great for family and friends
My family really enjoyed our stay with Donna and Kevin. They were incredibly hospitable and made us feel welcome. Although, we did not see them during our stay, there was great communication via VRBO. The house itself was clean, with thoughtful amenities, and in a quiet neighborhood. We also enjoyed the games, and think that we may have improved our pool and basketball skills.

About the host

Hosted by Donna & Kevin

Host profile image
Kevin, a financial planner, and Donna, a landscape designer, are both California natives and have been in the Carpinteria/Santa Barbara area for over 40 years. The small town charm of Carpinteria is what hooked them into buying a home here and raising their two sons. Who are now grown with families of their own. Kevin and Donna love giving back and being involved in the community through Rotary, the Cub Scouts, Boys Scouts, Girl's Inc., coaching youth baseball and basketball, donating time at the local schools and participating in other community groups and activities. Their free time is spent taking advantage of the beautiful weather and local outdoor activity offerings, like hiking, biking, kite boarding and scuba diving.

Why they chose this property

A few years ago they purchased this property with its two homes, green house and large yards situated in the foothills of Carpinteria with views of the mountains and ocean. The neighborhood is quiet and uncrowded lending to the peacefulness of the property. They enjoy the constant stream of birds and wildlife that visit each day to drink from the fountain or rest in the shadow of the native California oak trees. This home really is a dream come true.

What makes this property unique

Sea Breeze Cottage offers you a wonderful vacation venue in a great setting. You'll enjoy the colorful indoor space with lots of amenities like the comfy beds, large game room, washer and dryer as well as a full kitchen. Then step outside for a BBQ, a ping pong game or soak in the hot tub. Carpinteria offers miles of clean uncrowded beaches with opportunities to spot dolphins playing in the surf. When you're ready to hit the beach, you'll find beach chairs, boogie boards, towels, an ice chest and beach toys for you to enjoy. Don't forget the sunscreen.
Located between Santa Barbara and Venture, it's the perfect launching pad for exploring the area. Head to Santa Barbara and take in the Zoo, Museum of Art, and Mission. Or walk downtown and visit State Street, the pier and harbor. The next day explore old town Ventura for antique shopping, lunch and some beach combing. The area hosts many hiking trails, bike routes, and outdoor excursions for you to experience. You can enjoy whale watching, scuba diving, deep sea fishing or horseback riding. There is something for everyone.

Sea Breeze Cottage is a jewel waiting for you to discover.
