Wow, wow, wow!! This beautiful property exceeded our expectations and then some. As soon as we walked through the door, we knew we didn't want to leave. We've stayed at other rentals in Santa Barbara as well as Ritz Carlton Baccara, etc., and this place wins hands down!! The property has a great flow. Ocean views are amazing. I had groceries delivered from Whole Foods as we chose to enjoy meals staying on property instead of going out to the great restaurants in the area. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to cook gourmet meals. The pantry off the kitchen was a great bonus too. Plenty of space for stuff we brought, but also with a plethora of kitchen tools, serving & cutting boards, wide variery of kitchen gadgets (often not found at other rentals). The backyard has so many places to hang out, dining table, the firepit/Adirondack chairs, chaise loungers, hammocks, the slider close to the ocean, hot tub, etc. The large living room & kitchen had windows and doors that opened completely (accordion style) connecting the outside to the inside, it was wonderful. We appreciated this property being dog-friendly. Our Labradors LOVED playing fetch on the grass and were exhausted at the end of the day...big bonus for us!!The host sent a lovely/informative email prior to arrival, and just prior to departure. There's also a binder with all the house and surrounding area info. We plan to come back year after year as long as it's available!!
