Situated between Hope Ranch and San Roque, the location offers a peaceful neighborhood retreat while being close enough to enjoy the vibrant offerings of Santa Barbara and its surrounding areas. The primary suite is a sunny room with a king-size bed beneath sunset-facing windows and a sizable walk-in closet for the long-term guest to unpack numerous suitcases with space to spare. The en-suite bathroom showcases a drenching rain shower that will wash away the day's cares. Be sure to appreciate the whimsical bird pillows in the bunk room, where a full-size bed beneath a twin sleeps two to three guests. The third room with a queen-size bed can double as a place for studying or working remotely at the desk. The hall bathroom with a tub-shower combo is adjacent to the kitchen and laundry, with a European-style washer and dryer, and a door leading outside. As is typical with many Santa Barbara homes, this property does not have AC. Open windows and the use of fans allow ocean breezes in to keep the house cool during hot summer months. Let's talk about the kitchen! What a pleasure it is to cook, hang out, and enjoy its perfect design. With matte black granite counters, a breakfast bar, and a five-burner range facing the dining area, everyone can be involved during each phase of a great meal. After dinner, relax in the living room to watch TV, play one of the classic games provided, or leaf through a cookbook and plan for tomorrow's breakfast. Don't feel like cooking? Head to The Boathouse on Hendry's Beach, five minutes away, for French Toast and a mimosa with an ocean view. The backyard will ultimately be the #1 place to be. Multiple areas invite coffee in the morning at the four-top or a home-cooked barbecue dinner at the dining table for six. After the sun sets, save time to linger in the Adirondack chairs around the fire pit. Watch the little ones play on the expansive lawn and savor those long summer evenings inside or out. As a bonus, outside the back gate, there is private access to walking and hiking trails; it's a great adventure just beyond the back gate. There is also plenty of off-street parking in the gated driveway. The beach is five minutes away, as is upper State Street and Hope Ranch. Elings Park and the Wilcox Preserve are easily accessible for great hikes and letting the four-legged, furry friends roam and play. Hidden Valley Haven will make the ideal holiday gathering place, a treasured summer vacation getaway to return to year after year, or a restful place to call home when home is miles away. The hidden treasure at Hidden Valley Haven will be the memories made and shared here. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Concierge services - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the marina ### Things to do - Optional golf privileges - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102160000/102150500/102150442/dc75dc3c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private Guest House Central Location-Dog Friendly East San Roque - Pool - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-12&endDate=2026-04-13&selected=102150442&PinnedHotelID=102150442&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93250000/93241100/93241002/8d1a49de.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lovely SB home with great light, views and location!

Their response time to any questions or issues was immediate. The home was beautifully decorated and spotless. Our month long stay Hidden Valley Haven was perfect for my dog and me, as well as a friend who visited. The backyard was completely fenced in, had nice outdoor dining and relaxing spaces, as well as backing up to an open space where I could walk my dog. VRSOB couldn't have been easier or more pleasant to work with, including the wonderful woman who came over a couple of times to change lightbulbs, etc. She was so kind and helpful. The only thing I wish was different was providing salt/pepper, as well as more than travel size bath products, but I can live with that. I won't hesitate to rent from them again. ##### Sandy L. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Kimpton Alton Fisherman's Wharf by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Kimpton-Alton-Hotel-Fishermans-Wharf.h1047.Hotel-Information) > - [Corque Hotel, Solvang, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-Hotel-Corque.h67460.Hotel-Information) > - [Homewood Suites by Hilton Cathedral City Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Staybridge-Suites-Cathedral-City-Palm-Springs.h15178280.Hotel-Information) > - [The Viv Hotel, Anaheim, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-The-Viv-Hotel.h50907370.Hotel-Information) > - [Lemon Tree Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-Lemon-Tree-Inn.h966170.Hotel-Information) > - [Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Sir-Francis-Drake-Hotel.h15254.Hotel-Information) > - [CCBC Resort Hotel - A Gay Men's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-CCBC-Resort-Hotel-A-Gay-Mens-Resort.h1654482.Hotel-Information) > - [Bide-A-Wee Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Bide-A-Wee-Inn.h3520260.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Escondido-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-The-Welk.h59916.Hotel-Information) > - [The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-London-West-Hollywood-At-Beverly-Hills.h21097.Hotel-Information) > - [Magic Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Magic-Castle-Hotel.h27297.Hotel-Information) > - [The Prospect Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Whitley-Hollywood.h42644328.Hotel-Information) > - [Casa Loma Beach Hotel (formerly The Inn at Laguna Beach)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Laguna-Beach-Hotels-Inn-At-Laguna-Beach.h7446.Hotel-Information) > - [The Pierside Santa Monica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Pierside-Santa-Monica.h2094.Hotel-Information) > - [The Beverly Hills Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Beverly-Hills-Hotel-Dorchester-Collection.h12057.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Delfina-Santa-Monica.h12942.Hotel-Information) > - [The Hoxton Downtown LA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-THE-Hoxton-Downtown-LA.h36712437.Hotel-Information) > - [Basecamp South Lake Tahoe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Basecamp-South-Lake-Tahoe.h1086847.Hotel-Information) > - [Premier Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakland-Hotels-Premier-Inn-Suites.h98374288.Hotel-Information) > - [Pixar Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Paradise-Pier-Hotel.h9503.Hotel-Information) > - [The Commerce Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Hotel-Los-Angeles-Commerce-Casino.h533227.Hotel-Information) > - [Disneyland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneyland-Hotel.h15276.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Caza.h38249309.Hotel-Information) > - [Palihouse West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Palihouse-West-Hollywood.h13072.Hotel-Information) > - [ The Hollywood Franklin Hotel near Universal Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Adler-A-Hollywood-Hills-Hotel.h9761.Hotel-Information) > - [Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Grand-Californian-Hotel-And-Spa.h692655.Hotel-Information) > - [Le Petit Pali Brentwood West Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Le-Petit-Pali-Brentwood.h893085.Hotel-Information) > - [FOUND Hotels, Santa Monica, Series by Marriott](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-FOUND-Los-Angeles-Santa-Monica.h41510539.Hotel-Information) > - [Alma San Diego Downtown, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Alma-San-Diego-Downtown.h2133509.Hotel-Information) ---
