Anne was a wonderful VRBO host. Her unit was amazing, a great central location in Santa Barbara, and had awesome views! All her amenities, pool, hot tub, etc were great and we made use of them every night of our stay, enjoying the view and sunset. Check in was very smooth, and Anne had great communication and suggestions for different activities and restaurants. She was very welcoming and we had a great stay. Would love to stay again next time we are in town.

Thanks jimmy
Really enjoyed your stay and happy that you enjoyed Ms Kitti!!
The view is amazing from the bedrooms, pool, and jacuzzi. We were engulfed in a natural sanctuary featuring botanic diversity, inspiring statues, chirping birds, and butterflies. Our host was generous with food and beverages and eager to engage with us. Santa Barbara is a great city, for our family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers. We especially enjoyed the beach, pier, and a full day dedicated to enjoying the pristine pool.
The views, gardens, fresh citrus fruits from the trees, location, kitchenette, hot tub/pool, the hosts with a wealth of information on places to go and things to see, and their cute dogs greeting us each morning as we meandered outside to drink coffee and take in the sunrise!

Such a pleasure when I have delightful, enthusiastic guests as you are.,
We had the greatest time in Santa Barbara. Anne was a fantastic host and was very helpful with finding great local places to eat. This location is in a nice quiet neighborhood that overlooks the city and ocean. Highly recommended for those looking for a nice relaxing vacation, even if for only a few days.
Wonderful location in the Santa Barbara Rivera!! Pool, Hot Tub, and views are impeccable. Anne was an awesome host and met our every need. Anne is also a tremendous resource of what to do and where to go in Santa Barbara. Highly recommend and would return anytime.
My family stayed here for three nights and we had a very relaxing time. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful and safe with a beautiful view. Anne is wonderful and her two little dogs too!
We loved and used both the pool (daily) and the hot tub (twice). Our host was exceptionally available and fun! Our family was very comfortable sharing the single bathroom with no problem. The property was easy to find and the view made the trip for us all. I would recommend it to my friends and hope to return again. Thanks Anne!
A big slice of Shangri la in Santa Barbara! The most amazing view and garden, and the host, Anne, was so accomodating and had a wealth of knowledge.A perfect space for quiet and relaxation. Very well appointed with lots of nice additional touches. Well stocked to enjoy immediately upon arrival.
Anne is a wonderful host! She goes the "extra mile" to make sure you are well taken care of. The views on the property are "breathtaking". Anne, Thank you for everything! We will see you soon! Best,Kenny & Baylie
Our stay was fantastic! The property is beautiful, separate private entrance, had the entire backyard to ourselves including pool and spa, generously sized rooms, great views!, great centralized location in the hills while still being 5-10 min from everything in SB, owner responds quickly and respected our privacy

Privacy is important and thank you for mentioning that in your comments. Of concern to some who require extra
seclusions.............
Hope up will return; lovely having you!!
The property was lovely and in an incredible location. Our hostess was delightful and every possible detail was thoughtfully attended to. The only issue we had is that we thought it was a standalone property and was more of a traditional property with a kitchen.
This is an amazing oasis, close to everything with a delightful host. Shhhhh, don’t tell anyone how wonderful and relaxing it is here!

About the host
Hosted by anne h. rojas
As long time Santa Barbara residents we welcome you to our home. We are educated and well traveled and appreciate visitors from all lifestyles, cultures and countries, but will be respectful of your privacy and space during your stay should you want no interaction....We are LGBTQ + friendly. " High profile" entertainment and political guests have been very comfortable with us for the privacy and discretion we exercise. But, this being said, we are a casual and friendly place for your vacation. We are owner managed and do all of our own bookings. We open our home because we enjoy doing so--not just as a business. We have hosted wonderful guests from all parts of the US and world and stay in contact with many of them. Several have returned for visits. We have visited previous guests in Uruguay and Chile , Amsterdam and Germany.
Why they chose this property
Guests have commented that the photos do not do the property justice! SEE OUR BEAUTIFUL NEW WATERFALL/FOUNTAIN FEATURE...........New Hot tub with ocean view!! adjacent to Suite!! So no surprises when you stay with us...... plenty of outdoor space on property to "explore." Feed our spectacular caged iguanas, Iggy and Nancy. 2 sweet small dogs who love guests. Toby and Beto...... Ms. Kitti likes to visit as well. If you are not an animal lover they can be kept in aseparate area. Where else can you have it all? Relax by the heated pool, enjoy coffee/wine on the veranda while watching the sunrise/ sunset over the City and ocean. Quiet, but still close to downtown attractions Park in our secure large circular driveway, not on street. No "car shuffling." Perfect place to de-stress! Many of our visitors just relax here and enjoy our quiet and private property, hot tub and warm swimming pool during the summer.
