About this house rental

Nestled in Santa Barbara, this lovely house for $350 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. This is a unique 4000+ sq. ft. house that has been divided into two separate and very private living units. The unit described here is the largest with over 2200 sq. ft. of family oriented area. Having been associated with VRBO for over ten years, we have had many very satisfied guests and favorable reviews. We take great pride in personally greeting our guests and making their stay as comfortable as possible. We welcome your inquiries and strive to respond to your questions and inquiries within 24 hours. If you book with us, you and your guests will enjoy three nights, a week, or months in this unique residence located in Santa Barbara's historic Mission Canyon on the banks of Mission Creek. Our unusual house is built among the large oak trees and sandstone boulders that are found throughout the canyon and has large picture windows and skylights throughout that make it seem as if you are living outdoors or in a treehouse. The house is surrounded by a large garden of ferns, coastal live oak trees, maples, and redwoods, is adjacent to the beautiful Santa Barbara Botanic Gardens, and is within walking distance to several hiking and bike trails and five minutes to numerous historic and cultural attractions such as the Old Mission (Queen of the Missions), Museum of Natural History, and others. The downtown area and renound beaches of Santa Barbara are only a 10-15 minute drive. The Santa Ynez Valley's Lake Cachuma Recreation Area, infamous wine country, and numerous horse ranches are only a scenic 30 minute drive over the picturesque San Marcos Pass Road. DISCLOSURES: This is a single family residence on one acre that has a full time Homeshare tenant in a separate but completely private section of the home with its own parking and entrance. The Homeshare tenant and his family have been personal friends of the owner for nine years and watch over the house when the owners are out of town. The Board of Supervisors of the County of Santa Barbara have recently passed an ordinance that eliminates short term vacation renting of single family residences in the unincorporated section of the County unless they have a long term Homeshare tenant or owner living on the property. This ordinance took effect in September 2018.

Really cool place to stay, quiet, 2 min drive to the Botanic Garden, less than 10 min drive to stores/restaurants. Comfy bed, lots of movies streaming (great for a rainy night). We got to feed the fish in the pond. Well stocked kitchen. Dave greeted us & gave the tour, and checked in after the first night. Unfortunately the hot tub was not working while we were there. The patio where it’s located is still a lovely place to sit outside when the weather’s cooperative.

The house was nice and spacious. There were some issues. The dishwasher didnt work, one of the barstools was broke and i fell off, the chair in living room is broke, toilets flush poorly (likely septic issue), the master shower had grout brekaing off and cut our feet, many of the screens were torn and there are mosquitoes everywhere. Nice place but needs some attention

Dave and Patti’s house was a cozy delight for my family and I! We were in town for a wedding and opted for accommodations outside the bustle of downtown. It was quiet and restful. An easy/short drive into town. We loved the spacious layout and all the natural light. We enjoyed the koi pond and the hot tub! There were some ants making themselves at home in a couple places but the house was clean and perfect for what we needed. We would absolutely stay again.

This house is very unusual with it's many windows that really bring the outside into the house. You will get your exercise with all of the stairs((19) just to go upstairs with many more outside.. We did get invaded by ants and many spiderwebs inside but that's nature. The owner was very professional and we say thank you.
