Sit above the clouds in Santa Barbara’s prestigious Riviera Canyon. Here it’s all about the slow pace surrounded by relaxing foliage and inspiring views.

A Dining Room blends with a separate sitting area towards the Kitchen where all amenities are available. A sliding door leads to an enclosed patio with a bistro table and barbecue. Three Bedrooms provide luxurious accommodations with two of the rooms including sliding doors to the large wrapped deck. A spacious outdoor dining table, couches, and umbrella provide the perfect place to enjoy warm sunshine all day long, and the best views of sunrises and sunsets.

We loved the property. It had everything we needed and more. The views were amazing and we were able to get the rest we needed in between our wedding festivities downtown.

Five friends: two couples and one w/o partner. The house is very spacious and amazingly equipped- we had everything we wanted/ needed - even cooked a big meal and had it all.
The view from the deck is amazing.
The only con ware the beds... The king bed is very very firm. One of the queen beds was very firm and lumpy...
Otherwise- great house

Very Spacious! My Family felt like we were relaxing amongst the clouds. The home is located on a hill and the drive upward can be a taxing so make sure you have what you need to prevent unwanted trips. Bedrooms and couches are very comfortable...living areas and kitchens were spacious enough for a family of eight. There was no functional washer on site and the thermostat did quit working so the mornings were chillier than desired. Maintenance was quick to respond when called upon. The home could use some attention in terms of foundation as the master bedroom has a noticeable slope and the deck railings are leaning. Other than those issues the home provided awesome views and great memories.

Great place with awesome view from the riviera. Had whole family for Easter and house worked great. Matt was great, let us check in a little early to let the baby get her nap. Thanks for the memories

The house and property are spectacular. The view from the upstairs living room is stunning! And the plantings in front and back are impressive. There was plenty of room in the house for our group of six, and the open space was perfect for our group of, at times, ten family members for a reunion and memorial for our sister. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the kitchen and dining area are perfect for people to gather. Loved the house as did everyone!

We had a wonderful stay at Riviera Canyon between Christmas and New Years. The house is on a spectacular site with views over Santa Barbara and the coast, and it accommodated a couple and our two adult children very well. The house is very well equipped and comfortable. We had a couple of glitches with an electrical issue and ceiling leak (during a big rainstorm) but the management company and the owners were very responsive and neither issue cause significant problems. The downside (if there is one) of the spectacular views is that the road to and from the house is very steep and winding, which is a little nerve-wracking at times, but it's a quick 10 minute drive downtown, which is great. My husband also went on some fabulous hikes in the hills above the house, and we took an easy day trip for Santa Ynez wine tasting. All in all it's a lovely, comfortable house.

We stayed for a few days with family in this beautiful home with a lovely view. The furniture and bedrooms were quite comfortable, nice kitchen layout, and the outdoor deck was wonderful and shaded in the morning with nice evening views overlooking the lights of Santa Barbara. My husband and I both had to work from the house, and the internet connectivity was fast and reliable. We had a few things go wrong during our stay that were out of the owner's control, like having no water for about 20 hours because a main broke elsewhere in the neighborhood, but the property management company was quick to respond and they had someone deliver four gallon bottles of water immediately so we had water for drinking and flushing toilets (and the person who delivered the water was very friendly!). Everyone we spoke with at the property management company was responsive and helpful. The drought conditions also brought little black ants into the kitchen, but that's another issue tough for the owner to manage. Even with our little hiccups, we were very happy with our stay. The home was clean, cozy, and comfortable, in a fabulous neighborhood, with wonderful views. We will stay here again!

We absolutely loved this place, the house is cosy and beautiful and has all the amenities one might need. The view is stunning and so peaceful. We felt like we were at a resort. We had every breakfast on the deck. The beds were really comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed… we highly recommend this lovely home!!! We would gladly rent it again!

We very much enjoyed the house! Very convenient location, close to downtown and a short drive to the beach. Plenty space inside and outside for group meals, we absolutely loved the deck and enjoyed the landscape and sittings of deer + coyotes. Thank you for hosting our group!

The house and location were wonderful. The views form the deck were amazing and we were within 15 minutes of any activity that we wished to do. I cannot recommend this house enough!

Especially If You Cook!
We enjoyed our stay so much! Everything is neat and clean and operational, far beyond the online description.
One excellent example (and all other aspects of the home follow this general concept) are its facilities for cooking.

Wonderful house with a great view
Enjoyed the view of Santa Barbara from the large deck and the city lights at night. Kitchen had everything needed and the location of the house was private and quiet. Our third time at this house and we will return again.

Relaxing space with great views
We loved our stay. The view is beautiful with lots of birds and wildlife to watch. It's a quiet home with plenty of space to spread out. The furniture is slightly dated in the living room but it's all very comfortable and cozy. We enjoyed having a fire in the evenings and enjoying the deck in the mornings. We had a fire alarm chirping one morning and it was fixed within a few hours. Definitely recommend!

Great location
The property has a great location looking over the city and the ocean. We enjoyed the deck chairs on the large deck and the fully stocked kitchen. The location was so very quiet and we enjoyed seeing deer daily across the canyon. We would definitely return to this house.

Peaceful Santa Barbara Hills
Our Riveria Canyon visit was comfortable and relaxing, yet only a short drive from State St. The house is very well equipped and has many thoughtful touches … outdoor seating areas, plenty of kitchen amenities as well as beach items, books and games. I highly recommend this property and hope to return again soon.

Excellent. Everything was very thoughtfully provided. Very clean and tastefully furnished.
Almost everything went very well. The responsiveness of the managers during our stay could've been better.

Family Wedding
This trip was a Godsend and the VRBO property did not let us down. The main reason for our getaway was for family to stay together while celebrating our sons wedding. Three couples stayed at this beautiful hillside home. The home had plenty of room for the group to play board games together or to find a quiet place to sit and read. There was no shortage of kitchen equipment - more gadgets than I have in my own home. The house,was gorgeous, the views spectacular and the time together priceless.

Beautiful view, large home with plenty of space to hang out.
Nice that you have access to the garage, furniture could use some updating. Understand don't want to put expensive pieces in a rental home, but it's showing its age. Each room had it's own TV and lots of games and items for the beach to use. Views are wonderful with lots of outdoor seating.

Peaceful retreat
My husband and I had a lovely time at this property. The deck has fantastic views all day long. In the morning you can watch the fog roll through and at night it has great views of downtown Santa Barbara. We found it to be around a 10 min drive to most places we wanted to go, and its fun to drive the winding roads. Would recommend!
