Tucked into a hillside neighborhood, this house is fully equipped with two full bedrooms, two bathrooms and an enchanting cabin in the back garden. The open kitchen is built to entertain and to comfortably prepare any of your meals. The living area is composed of a grand room where dining room, kitchen and indoor living area combined provides a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere to share and engage in one or many conversations, yet also allowing you to retreat in a chaise lounge and read your favorite book. From the living room you can step outside into a fabulous deck overlooking the east side of the city and the ocean. Just a few blocks away, is Franceschi’s park, an 18-acre park donated to the city by a renowned horticulturist by that name. We drove up to the park to see the full moonrise, to find out the next day that it’s equally enjoyable (if not more) to watch it right from the house’s deck while you sip on a glass of wine with homemade h’ordeuvres. A separate gated terrace sits on the right side of the property as you step out of the main door, providing a perfect place to take in the view while being undisturbed by others. We highly recommend staying at this property. It’s a quick drive into town, the harbor and many of the beaches. We really enjoyed Santa Barbara from this private haven. It is home away from home, which is why we’re coming back again this spring. Whether it’s a UCSB graduation, a wedding, or just because–staying at this lower Riviera home in Santa Barbara is great for a romantic getaway, a family reunion or a vacation with friends.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this very comfortable and charming home. We were able to check into the house early which was a life-saver after a very early morning and long drive. The home is beautifully decorated and kitchen was easy to cook in and serve my family. The house provides private eating/entertaining in the backyard and two front patios. The ocean view from the master bedroom, living room and front decks are gorgeous. The beds were super comfortable. This was our second time here and would loved both visits.

We had such an amazing time in your home! Everything was simply perfect and we really appreciated the friendliness of the owners in answering our questions. The location is quite close to everything we needed. The house was charming and beautifully decorated. Everything was wonderful! We will definitely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful home. It was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. We really enjoyed the spectacular view. Lounging on the front patio and watching the sunrise and sunset was such a treat. The neighborhood was very quiet and well maintained. This property was also in close proximity to all the sights, great restaurants and beaches that made it very convenient. The elegant and five-star Belmond El Encanto Hotel is within walking distance about two blocks away. We actually dined under the stars on the terrace of this hotel restaurant and it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience. We would definitely recommend this property!
