About this property

Casa del Sol - Peaceful home away from home.

Authentic Mid-Century Modern home at the quiet end of a family-friendly street. Filled with sunshine from floor-to-ceiling windows that look out to the tropical backyard with a fire pit, lounge area, and outdoor dining space. Centrally located—just 10 minutes to downtown Santa Barbara, the Santa Barbara harbor and pier, or out to UCSB. Less than 10 minutes to Arroyo Burro Beach and only 3 minutes to upper State Street shopping, coffee shops, restaurants, bars, La Cumbre Plaza, and the Santa Barbara Golf Course. This home is also close to the 154 which accesses the Santa Ynez Valley wine country—30-40 minutes away.

Escaping midwestern winters

We love Chicago but a 3 week break from winter is a requirement. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Santa Barbara and Casa de Sol. The house lived up to its name - there was plenty of sunshine. It is in a great location in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to beaches, downtown, shopping and restaurants. Very relaxing!

Lovely spacious home. Very chill feel. Short 5 min drive to everything.

Great end of street home, spacious, with a great cozy feel. The gas fireplace was super, creating a great cozy feeling. Home is a short drive to downtown and few mins drive to local shops, restaurants, very convenient location. We also took a hike in the mountains not too far away. Nice outdoor space also with a fire pit.

Wonderful stay & host

We very much enjoyed our stay. Brenda is very hospitable and communicative, and the house is comfortable and very cute. The beds and living room furniture were comfortable, and the back yard is large, adorable, and great for hanging out. The house is easy to find, and parking in the driveway is hassle-free. Quiet neighborhood, and comfortable accommodations. Highly recommend!

Great House With a Great Host

The house is beautiful with a great backyard to lounge in, centrally located and close to just about everything. Brenda was a fantastic host, she provided us with some great recommendations (especially Demetria), and gave us simple check in / out instructions. Would love to stay here again!

Perfect Santa Barbara Hideaway

We were blown away by the location and privacy of this property! There is plenty of outdoor space and beautiful landscaping. It’s quiet, yet centrally located in Santa Barbara. Having several grocery stores nearby and a well equipped kitchen was great!

Amazing!

Clean, spacious bedrooms and comfortable beds and linens! Beautiful well decorated home with amazing landscape and outdoor sitting areas Kitchen is good and has absolutely all the cooking utensils you need to prepare gourmet meals! Knives are all sharp, more than enough kitchen towels and wash clothes. Big refrigerator that works well with temperature controls. it does not freeze food like some refrigerators we have had at VRBOS Home is on a very quiet street in a beautiful safe neighborhood. Home is located away from major roads - so no road noise is heard! Brenda, the owner, is amazing and responds immediately! We ran out of toilet paper and she was so kind to drop 3 more rolls off to us! She has binder made up that gives you absolutely all information you need about house and how to operate it. Brenda also has recommendations of places to eat at - which we tried a few and she was absolutely right!!! I would highly recommend this amazing clean property when staying in Santa Barbara with this very responsive and caring owner!!!

Beautiful House

The house is a beautiful mid century home in a nice neighborhood. The beds and couches were comfortable, and the backyard was nice for hanging out. Brenda made sure that everything was working and that we had everything that we needed. The house manual was thorough and had a lot of good recommendations.

Beautiful, peaceful, well-equipped home!

Loved our stay at Casa del Sol. Tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac, the mid-century gem of a home was perfect for us. The furnishings were simple and elegant, with a fully equipped kitchen. We enjoyed sitting in the private backyard. Location is central, and easy to get to beautiful beaches and hiking areas. We look forward to returning someday!

Comfy, classic mid-century

We enjoyed our stay. The home is nice and the back yard is amazing. We were a little disappointed that the water feature was empty (for renovation) and hot water was slow. Other than that, great home, nice beds and sheets, fireplace and outside fire pit was fun. The owner left us a bottle of Pinot Noir which was very nice.

Perfect location and comfortable accommodations

This 4 BR/2 BR house on a quiet cul de sac is a minute from the highway, and a minute from great restaurants, shops, and an excellent bookstore. 5-10 minutes to beaches and downtown Santa Barbara. Host is very responsive and helpful with suggestions and recommendations. The only amenity we could have wished for was easy access to a laundry because we stayed for 2 weeks. But laundromats are near by. Lovely back yard to sit and read. Very comfortable visit.
