About this house rental
Escape to Hummingbird Haven! This 4-bedroom Santa Barbara retreat has been carefully curated for relaxation and connection with family and friends. From the private backyard oasis to the interior's marriage of global travel style and Southern California beach living, this home feels like a true breath of fresh air.
Nestled in a secluded neighborhood on the backside of Hope Ranch, you’ll feel like you’re in the quiet of the country - but can still walk to coffee and the local pub! Pulling into the gated and private front gardens, the outside world will melt away.
Inside, discover bright and beautifully decorated interiors that create this home’s unique character. A welcoming living room greets you upon entering while around the corner lies the dazzling, modern kitchen, large island with bar stools and even more seating to keep the chefs company. An adjacent dining area centered by an art-deco chandelier completes the space.
Chic style continues throughout the four comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The Primary bedroom features a queen bed, TV, and ensuite bathroom. Bedroom 2 (Classics Room) features a king bed and Bedroom 3 (Surf Room) offers a queen bed, while a twin bed and twin trundle in Bedroom 4 (California Room) are ideal for children. Both bathrooms highlight luxurious marble countertops and lively wallpaper.
Just outside lies an expansive, enclosed backyard boasting al fresco dining, a huge lawn, and multiple areas to interact and just chill. The patio connected to the living area features a seating area, covered outdoor dining area and grill - ideal for an evening BBQ. Rinse off in the coolest outdoor shower you’ll ever see after a long day at the beach and unwind with a dip in the hot tub. Head to the back of the yard for the ultimate hangout spot, where you’ll find a hammock, plenty of seating, and a fire pit - or enjoy rounds of croquet, cornhole, or catch.
The front also boasts a whimsical Desert Garden with even more places to read, play games, or just relax. A fourth quieter seating area under a massive elm tree has a bench swing with huge sunset views. There are flowering plants everywhere you turn that bloom year-round and you won’t go long without seeing hummingbirds dance and play around the property!
Hummingbird Haven provides a peaceful and private getaway that is still close to all the action. There is a greenbelt/bike trail just down the street that connects to Campus Point/UCSB to the west and the Santa Barabra Waterfront to the east. More Mesa Open Space with expansive vistas of the mountains and ocean and its secret beach is less than a mile from the property! All of the top attractions in Downtown Santa Barbara and UCSB are just a 5-10-minute drive away.
Don’t miss out on Hummingbird Haven, the perfect place to enjoy SoCal’s relaxed lifestyle. You can easily have it all, but this tranquil hideaway is so private and relaxing you may never want to leave!

Known as the "American Riviera," Santa Barbara offers a stunning blend of Mediterranean charm and California cool. Stroll through the vibrant streets of downtown, lined with Spanish-style architecture, boutique shops, and upscale restaurants. From its ocean attractions to breathtaking mountain landscapes, outdoor enthusiasts can hike, surf, or sail all in one day. Don’t miss a visit to the historic Santa Barbara Mission or an afternoon spent wine tasting in the nearby Santa Ynez Valley. Whether you're relaxing on the palm-lined beaches or exploring cultural gems, Santa Barbara is the epitome of coastal elegance.
Local Attractions: Numerous wide and inviting beaches, Stearns Wharf, The Funk Zone, Shoreline Park, Cabrillo Art Walk, State Street pedestrian thoroughfare, Presidio and Historic Courthouse (named one of ten most beautiful public buildings in the U.S.), Old Mission Santa Barbara and Rose Garden, Santa Barbara Zoo & Botanic Garden, Miramar Rosewood Hotel, Sandpiper Golf Course, hiking the American Riviera (5,000’ mountains less than 5 miles from the sea), World Class Wine Country and more!
Home Truths:
- This home accepts a maximum of 2 dogs. But pets must be approved in advance and are subject to an additional fee of $150 per pet. If undisclosed pets are brought into the home without AvantStay's approval there is a fine of $500 per pet. Pets should not be left unattended at any time.
- Boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella, and beach towels are provided along with a playpen, cornhole, croquet, and other amenities.
- Please note that this home does not have air conditioning, but it’s so close to the Pacific that it’s rarely needed. We have provided fans in every closet to help you stay cool and comfortable on hotter days.
- There is a small apartment attached to the far side of the house that shares the garbage cans and is rented by a long-term tenant who helps out occasionally with gardening.
- Please note that natural oil seeps off the coast occasionally result in black tar deposits along local beaches. These occurrences are common in the region and are a natural phenomenon unrelated to spills or other events. While efforts are often made to keep the beaches clean, visitors may encounter tar on the sand or in the water. We recommend bringing a small bottle of baby oil or another gentle cleaning solution to help remove any tar from skin or feet after a day at the beach and be mindful not to track black tar into the home. A tar kit is located next to the hot tub.

We had a lovely weekend stay at this beautiful, well maintained pet friendly home while in Santa Barbara to check out wedding venues. Th house was exactly as advertised but in our opinion it was much better in person. The home was lovely and very well equipped. The yard and outdoor areas were just beautiful and very relaxing. It was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of downtown but only a short easy Uber or drive away to every place in Santa Barbara. We will definitely keep this as our place to stay while visiting the area again. Thank you to our host for allowing to enjoy this beautiful home!
10.0 / 10.0
This is a great house. We had 7 adults and stayed at the end of June. The back and front yards are wonderful. We were all able to sit around the dining room table and in the living room.
10.0 / 10.0
I booked this place for a college reunion. It had everything we needed. Plenty of room for everyone. Short trip to the UCSB and downtown area. The backyard was huge. The neighborhood was quiet during our stay. I would definitely book again.
10.0 / 10.0
Totally updated with whimsy and style. Great for family and dog. Loved the big lawn for kids and pooch while we bbq’d and chilled on the patio. Awesome yoga/massage/IR sauna studio walking distance away. Local shopping including farmer produce stand very close. Easy to get to downtown SB and beaches (great sunset beach walks this time of year). Host was responsive and easy to work with.
