This is a peaceful Spanish Mission style retreat on a spectacular site with a large, private pool in the foothills of Santa Barbara. It has magnificent views, wonderful sunsets, and a tropical landscape that lends an exotic resort feeling.
The property is at the end of a private road.
With no through traffic, a tree house, pool and swings it is an ideal place for families with children.
HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, THE PROPERTY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR LOUD GROUPS WANTING TO PARTY. The outside area is off limits after 9 pm. There is a limit to no more than 3 cars overnight parking unless arranged with owner permission. (Location shoots by arrangement).

We loved our stay in the hills overlooking Santa Barbara - the pool was awesome, warm enough to swim at 7pm, and the house was so spacious and comfortable: plenty of room for seven of us. Thank you to our hosts for a wonderful stay!

Very unique, quiet property, 1950's mission style, comfortable, filled with art and books, beautiful landscaping, gorgeous pool, ate dinner outside with views of sunset over the ocean, wood fires in the living room in the evening, kitchen well stocked. Owners live in guest cottage nearby and are very hospitable and accessible. 10-15 minute easy drive down to center of Santa Barbara and beach. A real treasure.
