Located close to the Santa Barbara Zoo, the beach, the pier, the restaurants, and a grocery store, this house was the perfect place to have a family vacation. The house had a pool, a hot tub, a billiards' table, and a ping pong table for on-site entertainment. Bravo to the owners for supplying ample amenities to cater to the needs of a larger family. We loved the backyard with its beautiful landscaping and the outdoor fireplace.

We had a family reunion in early January and had a wonderful time. The house was clean and well stocked. It had lots of seating to encourage conversations and a beautiful kitchen. There were also lots of things to do like a pool, jacuzzi, bocce ball, ping pong, bbq grill, and billiards. I would rate it five stars. A great time was had by all. Best Regards, MG

This home has it all! Pool, ping pong, pool table, bocce ball, lovely bedrooms, well-equipped kitchen, and large hot tub. We dined outdoors and had soothing evening sing-along time as the fire in the huge outdoor fireplace warmed us. One of the best features was the multiple conversation areas spread throught the house.

About the host

Born and raised in Santa Barbara. There's really no place like home. I am hoping to share as much knowledge and experience of my town that will leave you with a trip to remember for years to come. Donnay

Why they chose this property

Paul and Julie purchased this home in 2003. They spent five years doing renovations while living there! With an eye for design Paul fell in love with its potential. It was a long road to accomplishing everything he wanted to do but eventually they succeeded. Paul and Julie wanted to have others experience what they created and decided to Vacation Rental their home. They have met so many families that got to spend time here making memories and they hope to meet many more.

What makes this property unique

One of the best features of this home is the location. We are walking distance to Coast Village Road, Butterfly Beach and Vons supermarket. We are minutes to State Street and the Santa Barbara Zoo. We are a family owned and operated vacation rental. We take great pride in doing all the care ourselves.
