Daughter’s wedding on Pacific Ocean estate

Loved the view; high on a mountain and exciting back road. The landscaping was amazing. No need to visit Botanical garden. Large space, had everything we needed. To cool to swim but did not sign up for pool. Enjoyed sun bathing around the pool. With our daughter’ wedding we were very busy but it was a beautiful place to get away from all the wedding activity.

Breathtaking views from a vintage mission style property

The views and the location with mountain range behind and ocean to the front are astounding. The house is vintage 50's/60's with original art, furnishings, and even appliances and cast iron pans. If you are looking for a unique and quiet spot close to Santa Barbara city and mountains, this is a gem. The hosts are knowledgable, friendly and happy to show you the beautiful gardens.

Retro Comforts

First off, this is a wonderful, eclectic, arts centered home situated in an ideal spot (I used to live in SB). The pool alone is worth the visit. I am leaving 5 stars as I know I will return again if I need a welcoming, beautiful spot to stay. Michael, our host, was terrific and even helped set us up to pick some of his prickly pear/cactus apples for a rare treat. I am an artist and loved the collection of artifacts and the retro kitchen fixtures. That said, if you are used to minimalist, spotless interiors and state of the "art" appliances, you will need to set those wants aside and, instead, enjoy what a truly remarkable act of sustainability and care, for what we already have, can lead us towards. I was able to cook what I wanted, do laundry and enjoy my week with no foibles. The bathrooms and kitchen were clean. The linens and towels were clean and plentiful. The pool cover wasn't that much of a hassle and it was well worth it. The view of the sunset is fabulous and the gardens add to a very tranquil experience. Thank you so much for lending out your home!

Telling it Like it is

I'm compelled to communicate the property experience in an informational manner. The property views are scenic and pool usage was welcome, during the warm days of our stay without A/C. The hosts were helpfully attentive and unannouncedly present to their property each day of our visit. The decor was somewhat dark and the house amenities were dated. The refrigerater was old and lacking sufficient cooling temperatures. There was no window coverings in the poolside bathroom. And, the shower stalls provided a small space to bathe.

About the host

Hosted by Hilary

This is a family home of well traveled, English design professionals, (parents and grandparents) who love California.

Why they chose this property

More hours of sunshine than coastal properties, it is designed to be its own private Shangri La and children's paradise. It feels peaceful and remote yet is only minutes to downtown and beaches.
