Sweeping Oceanview Cottage: Your Private Paradise Awaits!

Nestled within a serene, gated estate, this exquisite 1-bedroom cottage provides you a unique blend of comfort, luxury, and nature's beauty. It's the perfect getaway for you in any season.

Imagine waking up each morning to stunning panoramic ocean views, striking sunrises, surrounded by lush live oaks and vibrant gardens that stir the senses and soothe the soul.

Key Features:

• Breathtaking Ocean Views: From the moment you arrive, you'll be greeted by sweeping vistas of the sparkling ocean, coastline, islands and mountains.

Each room is thoughtfully designed to ensure that the mesmerizing views are front and center, creating an atmosphere of tranquility & inspiration.

• Enjoy your Private Dining and Lounging with Deck. Imagine unwinding after a day of exploring Santa Barbara as you unwind in your own sunken Hot Tub surrounded by privacy gardens. Sip your morning coffee or relax with a beverage under the stars.

• Fully Equipped Kitchen: Cook with ease, as your modern kitchen is equipped with all the essentials, from multi-function oven & induction stove, to Espresso machine, blender, broiler and more, including spices, oils + vinegar.

• Cozy Living Area: Your inviting living space is designed for relaxation, with ample natural light flooding in through large windows. Curl up with a good book or enjoy a movie night after a day of exploring nearby parks, trails, beaches and Santa Barbara's many other unique offerings.

• Luxurious Bedroom: Retreat to your serene bedroom, where comfort is paramount. With plush king-size bedding and elegant decor, this space is a haven of peace, ensuring restful nights and rejuvenating mornings.

• Prime Location: While your cottage feels like a world apart, it’s conveniently located just a 5-10 minute drive to Pacific Ocean, downtown, Historic Mission/Rose Gardens, Botanic Gardens, Natural History Museum, Planetarium and downtown boutiques, cafes, Art Museum, and local culture.

Pristine beaches are a mere 10-minute drive away, perfect for sun-soaked days and sunset strolls along the shore.

• Outdoors: In addition to the many other trails, parks and offerings in the area, the Cottage is nested near three parks: Sheffield Reservoir, Skofield Park, and the expansive rolling hills of the 200-acre Parma Park, as well as a local favorite Trail in the Los Padres National Forest--all within a 5-15 minute walk!

• Remote Working. Work if you must. The Cottage has an ergonomic chair, expansive desk area and 500 mb WiFi to help you get it done quickly and efficiently. Printer/Copier/Scanner available thru Hosts.

• Smoke/Vape/Pet Free.

• Extended Stay. City-required minimum 30-day terms make this an ideal opportunity for vacations, family visits, work & government assignments, rest, relaxation, creative retreats, and temporary housing needs, as well as for medical, house hunting, remodels, relocations, etc.

Your effective daily rate is much lower than short-term stays of hotels, motels, and is exempt from the 12-14% local lodging and tourism taxes.

Come. Enjoy!
This enchanting cottage isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience waiting to unfold.

Blissful stay in Santa Barbara

We absolutely loved staying at this beautiful property! This location has everything you need for a perfect getaway. Well appointed cottage with all of the amenities, ten minutes to fantastic restaurants and a short drive to the beach. The owners are lovely and attentive to every detail. We enjoyed many beautiful sunrises and sunsets. There are many fond memories of having a glass of wine in the hot tub soaking in the panoramic views. Absolutely stunning.

Diane and Steve have definitely earned the "Super Host" title! Everything about this stay was fabulous. This was the first time I have ever stayed at the same property twice, and I look forward to returning. The photos are from my first morning and my last morning there.
