Great quiet location

Great property! Had all the amenities we needed. We eneded up staying at the Juniper property with paradise, as the initial pick (which is pictured)was no longer available due to a cancelation from the owner. Would definitely stay at Juniper again.

Just Perfect

This stay is one of the few places where the photos just don't do it justice. We had such an amazing stay in Santa Barbara thanks to Paradise Retreats. The location is perfectly situated on the northwest side of downtown where it was quiet by sundown but close enough to walk to the restaurants with ease. A total hidden gem, can't wait to come back!
