About this property

Tropical Villa. Pool & Hot Tub. 5 Minutes to Beach or Downtown!

My plan when renovating this house, was once you stepped inside the gates to the property, you felt as if you landed in Hawaii.....Mission accomplished!
With beautiful Sand Stone concrete accenting the lush tropical plants surrounding nearly every square foot & entire perimeter of the property you truly will feel your at a resort while laying around the backyard. A solar heated pool keeps the temperature at a perfect 82ish degrees (April-October) while floating around soaking up the sun....gas heating option available for additional charge during winter ;) oh yes the sun, did we mention that Santa Barbara usually has a cloud cover til early afternoon, NOT HERE! due to the unique location of the property, this neighborhood is the first sunny area in SB almost daily! With a cross town bike route running along our cross street and a nature preserve at the end of the block this is truly a great location. 5 minutes to the beach or downtown your right where you wanna be! all new everything, from the Granite countertops to the LED lights, this house was beautifully remodeled down to every last detail!
*Due to Covid i am only allowing guests from 1-2 households max reserve the property.
**I am new to VRBO, but previously a superhost on the AirBnB platform, over 80 reviews averaging 4.7 Stars!
Feel free to shoot me any questions you may have!

Lovely property in a beautiful neighborhood

Pros: - Conveniently located with easy access to highways and only minutes from Santa Barbara airport. - Quiet, peaceful street - Beautiful setting with very high hedges surrounding the property, providing complete privacy from neighbors. - Lush, verdant backyard with pool, hot tub, firepit, hammocks and lounge chairs. - Bright, sunlight home with plenty of windows and skylights. - Comfortable, spacious interior with good size rooms. Master BR, 2 smaller BRs. Living room, family room and 3 TVs. 2 full bathrooms. - Beds were comfy. - Ample supply of bathroom towels, beach towels, sheets and pillows.. Cons: (Note: These are all relatively minor.) - WiFi spotty - Softsoap handsoap was the only soap in the two bathrooms. - Haphazard (but serviceable) array of plates and utencils. - Food left in fridge, presumably from previous renters. - Some may be confused by the description of the sleeping accommodations. Just to be clear, there are 3BRs. Beyond that, there's a mattress that can go on the floor of the living or family room and a sofa, which some may not find suitable for sleeping. Overall: Highly recommended,

Great family vacation

We stayed for a week, spent most of our time in the gorgeous backyard enjoying the pool, jacuzzi, hammocks and fire pit. Great walking/bike trails, easy drive to the zoo, wharf and beach. John was a wonderful host. I would definitely return!

About the host

Host profile image
I am a longtime Santa Barbara local. Currently in the restaurant business, so let me know if you need a meal delivery service while in town ;)

I am here to help throughout your stay, whether it be a suggestion to a great restaurant, or you need me to come over and trouble shoot any issues that may pop up, i'm here to help!! Consider me your personal concierge :)

Why they chose this property

This property is special because it reminds me of a small town in Maui. There are no street lights or sidewalks, but plants and trees all throughout the neighborhood. Allowing you to smell actual fresh air and see all the stars at night. Added about 25 palm trees to the property so that may be helping that Maui feel as well :)
There is literally Zero freeway noise. You can hear roosters and horses trotting down the adjacent road as dusk and dawn. Nestled in Hope Ranch Annex it truly is the prime place to be in Santa Barbara. 5min drive to the beach, hiking, or downtown yet the peacefulness as if you were hours away!
