About this house rental

The Art Lover's Retreat is located in the Santa Barbara foothills one block from beautiful nature trails in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Owned by a Parisian Art Dealer, the home is beautifully decorated with eclectic 20th century European and American Artwork, some of which is available for purchase. Additionally the house is uniquely furnished with an open floor plan where you can delight your taste buds in the gourmet kitchen, curl up next to the open fireplace or just relax in the living room while simultaneously enjoying family and friends in the fun and sophisticated environment. There is also a lovely private back yard where you can enchant yourself in the delightful gardens or soak in the sunshine... there is so much to enjoy at the Art Lover's Retreat.

Downtown Santa Barbara is just minutes away for enjoying world class dining, live theatre, music, wine tasting and nightlife. Beautiful, pristine Pacific Ocean beaches are just 10 minutes from your door.

I might mention that Santa Barbara is a beautiful lush tropical fertile area. I have a very large garden, that like other properties in our town, gets the occasional visit from local wildlife. There are owls, birds, especially hummingbirds, raccoons, rabbits, small rodents, and other little beasts.(never had a cayote, but others have) They have save once never enter the house (a small bird flew in years ago.) there is also numerous spiders, and the occasional ant. There is not a house in this city that does not have an ant nor spider from Harry and Megan's to public housing...If you have a morbid fear of other living creatures, keep looking...Just to be clear.

The Art Lover's retreat is perfect for family reunions, corporate events and other get-togethers. Available year round in Santa Barbara's legendary Mediterranean climate, the Art Lover's Retreat...your home away from home, awaits you.

The owner Alex was very responsive and communicates well. He was genuinely concerned and proactively put up a baby fence to block the stair case when he knew there were little children in our group.

Six of us stayed at the house for four days to attend a wedding. The home was pretty much as listed on website. The bedrooms were all a good size and very comfortable. The house has plenty of open spaces for people to gather and socialize. Weather was perfect, warm days and cool nights. Alex, the owner, was very responsive to all our needs. Some of the furniture could use an upgrade. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Alex was fantastic and kind. Easy to get a hold of and very responsive. His home was a great place to stay and relax. The hiking at the end of the road was fantastic. Close to everything we needed in S.B! Thanks Alex.

Exquisite retreat

The name of the house is apropos, as it truly is a beautiful art lover's retreat. It was a special experience to be surrounded by such an eclectic and refined collection of contemporary art. Each room was unique and special. The common living areas and the backyard were great places to hang out and relax. Alex was a tremendous host. He accommodated our early arrival and was super friendly as he showed us around his house.
