About this house rental

AS FEATURED AS A BACKDROP FOR FASHION SHOOTS,
TV INTERVIEWS AND FINE LIVING CHANNEL.

This is a peaceful Spanish Mission style retreat on a spectacular site with a large, private pool in the foothills of Santa Barbara. It has magnificent views, wonderful sunsets, and a tropical landscape that lends an exotic resort feeling.

The property is at the end of a private road.

With no through traffic, a tree house, pool and swings it is an ideal place for families with children.

HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, THE PROPERTY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR LOUD GROUPS WANTING TO PARTY. The outside area is off limits after 9 pm. There is a limit to no more than 3 cars overnight parking unless arranged with owner permission. (Location shoots by arrangement).

Mission Santa Barbara is only one and one-half miles away. It is less than ten minutes from downtown Santa Barbara and four miles from beaches .

This artistic house is light, open, and comfortable. Interiors are colourful (Hacienda meets Mid-Century). The combined kitchen/dining room is large, 26 feet x 16 feet. The adjacent poolside dining area is an ideal place to watch the sunsets or enjoy lunch in the warm sunshine. The large living room, 20 feet x 25 feet, has a wood burning fireplace and wonderful mountain views. There is a home office and wireless internet, ideal for working remotely.

No smoking and no pets, please.

The photos in the listing did not disappoint. The property is ideally situated in the hills above the mission, away from the coastal fog and surrounded by the mountains. The pool and home are nestled within a lush, beautifully landscaped yard with views above and below. We spent a good portion of our time here in and around the pool, soaking the sun or eating together at the dining table in the shade. The house itself is quaint, full of life, quirky and inviting. We felt so at peace, so relaxed and sort of fell in love with this place. We all felt like we’d found something truly unique and special. I’m a quadriplegic and use a manual wheelchair and I was able to navigate in and around the property with relative ease. The owners Michael and Hilary are genuine, welcoming and accommodating. They agreed to have a wooden ramp built for me to overcome the step to the front door, which gave me full access in and out of the house. They even removed the door to the bathroom in the main bedroom to make it wide enough for my wheelchair. There was ample parking, on flat, paved ground in front of the property, which sits alone at the end of a windy road. I certainly hope to have another opportunity to stay here again.

All was just as described in the listing. The only thing my adult children mentioned was the abundance of notes and signs left in virtually every room of the house (and outside). These reminded us of the things listed in the 20+ page rules notebook on the kitchen table. It's not a big deal to me, but it can be off-putting to some. We ended up making it a running joke. Also one of the owners found reasons to come into the property and pool area each day.

This beautiful Spanish style home has spectacular views of the mountains and ocean. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the poolside setting. The home is uniquely appointed and the kitchen brings you back in time.

The place exceeded expectations. The views are phenomenal and it was tucked away enough to feel like you got out of the city. The home has so much character and the landscaping is a hidden gem.

Loved the view; high on a mountain and exciting back road. The landscaping was amazing. No need to visit Botanical garden. Large space, had everything we needed. To cool to swim but did not sign up for pool. Enjoyed sun bathing around the pool. With our daughter’ wedding we were very busy but it was a beautiful place to get away from all the wedding activity.

The views and the location with mountain range behind and ocean to the front are astounding. The house is vintage 50's/60's with original art, furnishings, and even appliances and cast iron pans. If you are looking for a unique and quiet spot close to Santa Barbara city and mountains, this is a gem. The hosts are knowledgable, friendly and happy to show you the beautiful gardens.
