About this property

Santa Barbara Hideaway with Terraced Suites

Santa Barbara Vacation Rentals is proud to present Santa Barbara Hideaway, a remodeled, custom-designed residence that blends Mediterranean charm with contemporary sophistication. Tucked into a quiet enclave with easy access to the beach, Montecito, and downtown Santa Barbara, this multi-level home offers both serenity and convenience in one of California’s most sought-after destinations.

Defined by soaring ceilings, white interiors, and an abundance of natural light, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home exudes warmth and architectural elegance. A blend of Spanish and Italian influences is reflected in the curved archways, multiple terraces, and expansive outdoor patios—perfect for enjoying Santa Barbara’s idyllic climate from sunrise to sunset.

The home features two primary suites. The top-level suite is a private haven, complete with a king bed, fireplace, wrap-around balconies, and its own living room and kitchenette. The en-suite bath includes a jetted tub and separate shower, with windows framing lush outdoor views. The second suite, on a lower split level, also offers a king bed, private balcony, and full bath.

Three additional guest rooms reside on the main living level, designed with flexibility and comfort in mind: one with twin beds, one with a full-size bed, and a home office/bedroom with a trundle daybed (converts to two twins). Two of these rooms open onto a generous terrace via French doors, offering peaceful indoor-outdoor flow. A full bathroom and powder room serve the guest wing.

At the heart of the home lies the gourmet kitchen, wrapping around a large central island perfect for casual dining or entertaining. A professional-grade 6-burner range and built-in espresso machine invite culinary creativity. Dine formally at the indoor table for six or al fresco on the balcony for up to eight, surrounded by fresh air and foothill views.

The living and dining areas flow gracefully between levels, anchored by a fireplace and framed by floor-to-ceiling glass, merging stylish interiors with the rugged natural beauty just beyond. A Sonos sound system, smart TVs, and a Peloton bike offer in-home entertainment and wellness options.

Throughout, finishes are sleek and bright, with recessed lighting and thoughtfully curated décor that enhance the home's open, airy ambiance—day or night.

Whether you’re seeking a family retreat, a couple’s escape, or a remote working haven, Santa Barbara Hideaway offers rare privacy, exceptional comfort, and effortless access to beaches, fine dining, wine country, and everything else Santa Barbara has to offer.

Please note: This pet-friendly property welcomes dogs, but unfortunately cannot accommodate cats. A detailed cancellation policy will be provided following your booking.

Perfect getaway for an extended family stay. I thought it might be a bit of a trek to get to downtown SB, but it really wasn’t. And Ubers were easy to book.

The house is GORGEOUS. Well stocked and beautifully decorated. The view is also spectacular. The only thing they didn’t have was a tea kettle, but they pretty much had everything else you could think of. Steamers, hair dryers, espresso machine….One warning is that it is located in a very steep and hilly area. It can be hard to find too. Once you get to the road, there will be an extremely steep road between some tress, and just keep heading up. Would definitely recommend!

Beyond Expectations

This place exceeded all of our expectations. The photos online look great but seeing it in person was even better. Whether you want to relax inside or outside, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend this house!

Excellent family home

First, the ability for our family to all get together was amazing. This house provided us the opportunity to all be together but have the ability to have our own space. We had a 18 month year old with us and while we brought some baby stuff with us (pack'n play, bibs, stroller) we were pleasantly surprised that they had other supplies for us that we were not expecting. That was amazing and truly consider this a family friendly home! We also loved the separation of one of the primary rooms upstairs that allowed us to have time to socialize without fear of waking up a sleeping baby. We can't recommend this house more.

Lovely home with great views

Home was beautiful. Lots of natural light. The upstairs unit with its own living room was perfect. Fabulous views! Nice big kitchen. Needed a few more detailed instructions such as for the fancy coffee maker but we followed YouTube instructions and it worked, and also instructions for the garbage. Checkout instructions said to take out garbage, but didn't indicate where and there were no outside garbage cans around the house.

Good but not great

We chose this house because it could accommodate 8 people (5 bedrooms). It has a large kitchen and living room. It was clean and well organized. It could use a refresh of the linens and towels and some of the fixtures are in need of repair. The views are good but the house is far from town on a winding road which is tough to navigate in the fog/clouds. There are MANY steps from the driveway to the front door, and many stairs inside. The outside path lights and exterior porch lights did not work. This made it difficult to find our way up to the house. The dining room lights also did not work. The property manager was responsive, but unable to fix it during our 4 night stay. The washer and dryer are not in the house, and are only accessible from outside down the unlit pathway, and are located in the garage. We could not get into the garage using the code provided, so there is basically no washer dryer. There are also many ants in the bathrooms and kitchen. For the price, we would not stay here again.
