About this house rental

Greetings from Goleta Getaway! This charming and updated home is the perfect private escape, with a prime location and a backyard oasis for quintessential outdoor living.

The inviting interior welcomes you with a contemporary, coastal-inspired design throughout the living area. Whip up your favorite home-cooked meals in the fully equipped kitchen, featuring sleek countertops and all the appliances you need. Grab a barstool seat at the kitchen counter for a quick meal and casual conversation, or gather around the dining table with seating for six.

Four bedrooms each offer their own sanctuary. The primary bedroom boasts a king bed, fireplace, two private ensuite bathrooms (one with a sink, toilet, and shower/tub and the other with a sink, closet, toilet shower, and washer/dryer), and French doors that lead to a private backyard patio. Bedrooms 2 and 3 each offer a queen bed, with a private ensuite attached to Bedroom 2. The fourth bedroom features two twin beds. One additional full bathroom ensures plenty of privacy for all guests.

The real heart of the home lies outside in the private and peaceful backyard, where you’ll find a lawn and two patios with seating. Spend your days relaxing amongst the serene garden scene. As the sun begins to set, grab a chair and a glass of wine. The covered outdoor dining table has room for everyone!

Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac, Goleta Getaway offers a peaceful retreat while still being close to all that Santa Barbara has to offer. Head to the beach less than 1.5 miles away, or tee off at the oceanfront Sandpiper Golf Course less than a mile away. Find dining, shopping, and entertainment options along Hollister Avenue or downtown Santa Barbara. Walk just 100 feet to a beautiful park with a ballfield and mountain views, or take a short drive to popular attractions like the Old Mission or Santa Barbara Zoo.

Home Truths:
- Unfortunately, pets are not allowed in this home. If undisclosed pets are brought into the home without AvantStay's approval, there is a fine of $500 per pet.
- Please note that this home does not have air conditioning.
- Please note, the home has 4 bathrooms, but two of them are private ensuites to the primary bedroom (one with a sink, toilet and shower/tub and the other with a sink, closet, toilet shower and washer/dryer).
- Please note that natural oil seeps off the coast of Goleta occasionally result in black tar deposits along local beaches. These occurrences are common in the region and are a natural phenomenon unrelated to spills or other events. While efforts are often made to keep the beaches clean, visitors may encounter tar on the sand or in the water. We recommend bringing a small bottle of baby oil or another gentle cleaning solution to help remove any tar from skin or feet after a day at the beach and be mindful not to track black tar into the home.

The stay here was excellent. I have been renting with VRBO for 16 years now, and they all have some of the details... this one has them all. They have done it so nicely - they had plenty of dishes, kitchen and bathroom towels, dish washer detergent, paper towels, TP, tissue paper, laundry detergent and dryer sheets, coffee and filters. We had 6 people staying and the beds were nice, plenty of bathrooms. They have games and puzzles, TV, beach towels, a nice back yard. We did not need the pack n play and the small child things. They have a nice backyard. We liked the location... not far from Santa Barbara, has a local golf course and beach nearby, we shopped at Albertson's. We would recommend to a friend.

Great communication and very nice place.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2025
House looked clean but the bedsheets and pillows had an awful sweaty, musty odor. That made sleeping at night difficult. On top of that, one of the shower pan had stains that felt not very clean so we didn't use it at all. In one of the bathrooms, the floor had a slight dip indicating some water damage below. The Avant Stay team did mend it a little bit for us but not enough and there was nothing we could do about any of the items. For top dollars they charged us, this wouldn't be a place we would recommend.
