About this house rental

The best pool weather of the year, from now till November! The solar system keeps it at a great temperature. Plenty of Sunshine for sunbathing! Enjoy your own private resort atmosphere.

Imagine your own private retreat, close enough to walk to the Mission of Santa Barbara and yet when on the acre property you will feel like you are away from it all in your own private Shangrai Lai. The Frank Lloyd Wright inspired design maximizes the enjoyment of the sprawling one story 3000 sq feet house. The house embraces a spectacular solar heated pool and backyard patio from which you may fully relax in the fantastic Santa Barbara weather. The mottled black bottom pool is like a "Matisse" painting adding to the ambiance of the beautiful yard.

Peacefully sleep in the quiet setting. Those who are early risers will not disturb those who want to sleep in as the bedroom wing is at the opposite end of the house from the kitchen living and dining areas.

Two gorgeous fireplaces, one in the main suite. The second is a striking cathedral ceiling high edifice in travertine accenting the unique atmosphere of this incredible home.

Access your entertainment apps on the Large screen TV and with the cable TV and Cox gigablast the highest local speed available everyone can stay connected.. Plenty of space to work from home if needed.

All the comforts of home with full kitchen, new 5 burner stove/convection oven, dishwasher, washer/dryer and the space to stretch out and enjoy yourself after enjoying all Santa Barbara offers.

There are MANY wonderful aspects of this property. There is a lot of space for family and friends, the kitchen is very well-equipped, having 3 bathrooms is great for guests, and the pool and grounds are amazing! This is indeed a great home for families and is in a great setting that is close to everything. It is not necessarily a beach home but more of a home in the hills of Mission Canyon which enhances the privacy and beauty of the home. There were a few areas that required maintenance, repair, update and cleaning but not enough that we would not consider coming back again. The hosts are on property and were very responsive to the few needs we had. Very well-priced for the size and amenities.

My three teens and husband spent a week during Christmas at the Rockwood's lovely property. The grounds were filled with fruit trees and other beautiful foliage that gave a relaxing environment. Everything was lovingly decorated for the season. The house is stocked as a home that is lived in so we were able to easily cook nice family meals. The pool and spa were wonderful. Very close to downtown Santa Barbara yet feels like a secluded get away. All in all a great place to stay.
