Family Friendly Villa - Close Walk to Downtown and Beach
About this condo rental
Welcome to our beautiful Villa, the very essence of Andalusian Spain and Santa Barbara. Imagine stepping into the light filled great room, with its polished Spanish tile floors and white washed stone surfaces. Banks of windows in each room overlook the private courtyard, lawn and rose garden. With the windows open (or standing out on one of your 4 decks) you can hear the wonderful bubbling of the grand fountain, day and night. This luxurious villa has over 2,000 sq ft of living space with 3 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths with a Queen sized bed in both the Master Suite and the second bedroom, with over-sized bunk bed in the third bedroom. The master bath has a large walk-in shower and an extra deep Jacuzzi tub. There are four levels in the Villa. All bedrooms are on a second level of the house while kitchen and living room are on a third one. All floors are accessible by elevator besides roof deck. There are three fireplaces, flat screen television, surround sound and internet access. All linens, towels, furniture and artwork are of the highest quality. Villa Malaga is located well off-street and is surrounded by lush landscaping and greenery that obscure other buildings, providing a special sense of privacy and security. The roof deck, with sweeping views of the American Riviera and glistening Pacific Ocean, provides that extra outdoor living space for fresh-air dining or just relaxing and enjoying the sun and sea breezes. There is an outdoor fireplace on this deck inlaid with a hand painted Spanish mural, a separate fountain and 360 degree views of all that Santa Barbara has to offer. Villa is located in Cinque Terre, a stunning building just two blocks from the beach and four blocks from Stearn’s Wharf in the heart of the Water Front District. It is completely gated and has a private garage with a dumb waiter that will whisk your provisions to both the sleeping and living levels. The gourmet kitchen is fully stocked, featuring custom cabinets, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, 6-burner commercial grade Viking range and an over-sized GE convection/microwave.

This house was perfect for our 5-person family getaway! In addition to being beautiful, very clean, and well stocked, it was in a perfectly central location to everything we needed. We could walk to the beach, restaurants, adorable local coffee shops, shopping areas, markets. We only wish we could have stayed longer to explore even more of the amazing area, but hopefully we can come back sometime. And when we do, we would love to stay here again. The host was very responsive and gracious to our needs. I highly recommend this property - you won’t regret it!

The house, location, and experience with our host were all excellent. It had everything we needed - plenty of sleeping space, kitchen was fully equipped, parking space, self-entry using keypad, and wonderful hangout spaces inside and in particular on the roof. It was a perfect walking distance to our activities. We’d absolutely stay here again!

Everything was great with only one incident fire alarm went on (with no reason at all) in the middle of the night. Scared the hell of all . Hope the owner can fix the smoke alarms.

This property is in a great location and is very eye appealing. One big drawback upon entering this wonderful property is *THERE IS NO A/C*. The owners/property managers do in fact provide plenty of electric fans (which is nice) but we felt that the listing should state that “there is no A/C”. I’m sure if your staying in the cooler months you are still quite comfortable but if you are staying in the Summer you may be disappointed. Overall it is a great and beautiful property with great amenities but with the temperatures being what they tend to be in the summer I feel A/C is no longer a “extra” it is a necessity. If we had realized there was no air conditioning we would have opted for another property. I urge the owners/property managers to please add this to their description so that no one else (staying during the hot months) feel mislead.

We stayed here for a few days with family in town from the east coast. The property was spacious and clean. We were a couple of blocks from the beach and walking distance to State street. Great location for anyone looking to visit the beach.

This is a great property in an ideal location. It's close to everything but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. The bedrooms were spacious and well situated. Our family of four had plenty of room. Everyone was clean and relatively well-kept. The only issues were with a few of the windows and screens (some of the screens were torn and one of the windows wouldn't open and close properly) and with the oven (the knob was broken). The upstairs patio could use a little TLC, mostly cleaning. But otherwise, we had nothing to complain about. We definitely would stay here again.

Tatiana was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Check in was very easy and the home was as described online. It was very comfortable and exactly what we needed as a home base during our daughter's wedding weekend.

The location was perfect walking distance to everywhere! There were many special details that made it a safe, luxurious, private and comfortable stay.... from the enclosed garage, to the well appointed bathrooms, to the patio with a beautiful view... we enjoyed every minute of our stay at Villa Malaga! The owner was easy to reach and very accommodating too! We'll come again for sure.

Excellent location, safe, beautiful neighborhood w/in easy walks to seaside, fink zone and downtown Santa Barbara. Property is lovely with plenty of space for party of five. Loved the open kitchen, dining and roof top. Kitchen was stocked with cookware sufficient to prepare meals but with such excellent dining options close by, who wants to cook! Easy access into property, garage was huge benefit and dumb waiter was so helpful to get groceries to kitchen level. Would stay again for sure!

We had a fabulous stay at this family friendly villa with close proximity to the beach and many restaurants and stores. The home was well furnished with comfortable beds and amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with the ease of using the elevator at times and the beautiful decks with gorgeous views of Santa Barbara. We hope to return to this amazing villa and beautiful town before too long. Would highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay here. The home is spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The rooftop living area is stunning and we spent as much time up there as we could. There are a couple of fantastic mercados within a block of the place where we shopped daily and were able to cook family meals in the huge, well-stocked kitchen. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.

This property was beautifully maintained and equipped. The location was perfect. The best part, however, was the wonderful roof terrace that expanded the living area and gave a stunning view of the town.

Fantastic stay. The home really is amazing. We got married in Santa Barbara and this is where we stayed and we were thrilled with it. I would highly recommend and the host was very responsive, sweet, and accommodating.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming villa. We were only there for two day and three nights but we thoroughly enjoyed both the town and this home. The private rooftop patio is exactly as pictured and we made the most of it during our stay - it was wonderful! And a great place to catch both the sunrise and sunset.
As noted there's no AC but there's a nice cross breeze with the doors open and it really cools down at night. The locking mechanism on the French doors is a bit tricky a first but easy once you get the hang of it.
Tatania is a great hostess and very responsive - made for a wonderful visit. We hope to return to SB and hope we can stay here again!

Santa Barbara Beautiful
We could not have picked a more beautiful setting nor location to stay for a UCSB graduation. The accommodations were perfect for the family and the rooftop was an excellent setting for a reception for graduates, friends, and their families. Plus we could walk to the beach and many restaurants. We hope to be back!
