About this property

Very comfortable and well appointed home on one half acre with lots of trees, grass, beautiful landscape-all the comforts of home without any of the usual responsibilities.

Located just 2 miles from the beach community of Carpinteria and an even shorter distance to the quaint little beach town of Summerland, and about 5 miles from downtown Santa Barbara where you will find 'fine to funky' dining, outdoor cafes, a great zoo, museums, street musicians, beautiful beaches, and plenty of outdoor activities for everyone in the family.

Enjoy relaxing afternoons around the pool and jacuzzi (pool is heated June-Sept. and jacuzzi is 'good to go' year round) on your new 1400 sq. Ft deck where you will find plenty of sun or shade to read that book you have not found the time to get around to. There are many different areas to relax and even your own beach overlooking the pool.

If you are a horse lover (even if you aren't!), take in an afternoon polo match played by the top polo players in the world (May-September). This is where Prince William played in the summer of 2011-for what ever THAT'S worth!

Or if you are more inclined to a more active stay, take a run, walk or bike ride on several trails that are near by.

Make this your home away from home for all your get-away trips to beautiful Santa Barbara!

Wonderful stay, don’t hesitate to book

We have had the most wonderful stay in Santa Barbara. Ed and Joan could not have been more accommodating, in touch, kind etc. The house is superbly equipped, clean, comfortable and the knock out for us was the pool, our 3 children adored it. As many reviews say, the photos don’t do it justice. Do not hesitate to book this, it is brilliant. Also, so so well located, wonderful beaches, restaurants, City. Enjoy!

Serene Gardens and Tranquil Setting

This cozy home provided us with the perfect retreat from our days on the California beaches and hikes in the hills. It is very nicely situated for polo, beach, shopping, and hikes and couldn't have been better for the low-key holiday style we were seeking. Relaxed, tranquil and informal with a lovely couple to deal with as managers, we really enjoyed our stay.

Ed and Jean’s place is a fantastic home away from home. We had a lovely time staying in their place, they were very welcoming, the house was immaculate and really comfortable and well laid out. The beds were super comfortable and all amenities were perfect (once we worked out the US heats in farenheit not Celsius!!). We visited Santa Barbara for shopping, driving through upmarket Montecito, and we spent our afternoons on the local beaches - Carp for people watching and Santa Claus for the novelty (!) and it was a quieter, beautiful beach. We would love to return soon.

About the host

Hosted by ed and/or joan

We are a semi-retired couple who travel quite a bit. When in town and our home is rented, we may stay in the cottage that is also on the 1/2 acre property. However, it is in the front part of the property, while the pool, spa, bar-b-que and deck are in the back part of the lot and well secluded with all the privacy our guests desire. In fact, we have often gone an entire week without seeing-or being seen-by our guests, since when we are in Santa Barbara, we are usually out and about from early morning till night time-working or playing.

An explanation on city taxes. Santa Barbara charges a mandatory 12% bed tax. In addition, they have now required a 2% Tourism Business Tax for all who rent rooms/homes. We have listed that in the charges as a 14% tax. Joan
