Under the Oaks Santa Barbara - kids and dogs welcome-fire pit and spa-no parties
Under the Oaks is an oasis of lush gardens, an extensive children’s book library, fine musical instruments and original art, all tucked away in a centrally located neighborhood. The kitchen is equipped with every small appliance imaginable, plus 6 ways to make coffee. Breakfast making ingredients like eggs, milk, bread, butter, jam, and pancake/waffle mix are included. The bedrooms have fine 100% cotton or bamboo linens on comfortably firm mattresses. Each bedroom has a white noise machine, a ceiling fan or mini split, a tv, Turkish cotton bathrobes, and asian carpets. The interior of the home reflects my Bohemian family culture. This is not your average vacation rental. The front and back yards are fenced in to protect privacy and to keep your dogs from running off. There is parking for 4 cars in the private guest parking at the front of the property. There are absolutely no parties allowed of any kind. This is a quiet neighborhood and noise carries.

About the host
Hosted by Maya Adams
My grandmother bought this property in 1962. She was recently divorced and had $2000 to put down. She couldn’t qualify for a mortgage but because the man who inherited the property believed in her because she was getting her teaching credential at UCSB when it was still Kwanzaa huts, he carried the lawn directly from her. She paid him off in 15 years when she bought the property. It was nothing but dirt and two oak trees and one house built in 1905 she help with my mother planted all the plants including, palm trees, ginger, ferns, canna, fruit trees and many more specimens to numerous to list. I moved to the property when I was 18 months old and lived here till I was 18 and went off to college. I’ve lived up and down the East Coast and in Europe for many years. 2015 and moved back to property and began remodeling and updating the house I live in a small house in the back of the property with my son his girlfriend, my rescue dog, a cat and two turtles. I’m busy most days with my other business as an organizer and move manager for downsizing. I love sharing this property with others, hearing the laughter playing of the Steinway piano and knowing that people can enjoy the magicalspace as much as I do. It is eight minutes to downtown and Barbara 12 minutes to the beach, walking distance to the museum of natural history and the Santa Barbara admission. There is an abundance of wildlife on this property, including bats, song birds, opossum, skunks, raccoons, chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, lizards, butterflies etc. There’s lots of shade under the big oak trees. One is over 250 years old and it’s a great tree to hug. You can hear the morning doves in the morning and the owls hooting at each other at night. With Santa Barbara’s and incredibly temperate climate, it is a true paradise.
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood is zoned in the county of Santa Barbara, not the city. There are no sidewalks, but most everyone in the neighborhood walks their dog on the street. You can walk to the museum of natural history, the mission, shops, and restaurants. The Chumash lived on this land. There’s a boulder at the front of the property that shows a grinding area for acorns that the Chumash created. This neighborhood is also very quiet.
What makes this property unique
This property stands out because the house was built in 1905 interesting architecture elements. The interior is designed with eclectic jewel tones, Asian rugs, original art and a vast library of books. The house sits on a half an acre many hundreds of year-old oak trees. There is a big variety of old growth trees. There are large boulders in the front yard that are fun for kids to climb on that were deposited there over 300 years ago in a mud flow from the mountains. There is no vacation rental like this in Santa Barbara or anywhere else for that matter. You will be having a completely unique and delightful vacation experience.
