4 Bedroom Villa in Upper Riviera, Santa Barbara

A historic Riviera Villa Estate, built in 1916, this property enchants with it's location at the top of the world renowned American Riviera with spacious rooms & breathtaking views of the entire Santa Barbara coast and Channel Islands beyond. .
One enters through a vaulted breezeway to the entry courtyard where the terraced gardens and shade trees soften the view and provide separate and distinct areas for all forms of rest & relaxation. All downstairs rooms including living, dining, library/offfice and detached guest quarters have french doors that open onto private gardens and outdoor living spaces. High ceilings throughout and casual, but, elegant decor including hardwood floors and seagrass carpet, give the house a comfortable feel that combines the best of Spanish Colonial architecture with modern day California living. A large outdoor fireplace and gas grill compliment the outdoor areas. The kitchen comes fully outfitted with Garland commercial range, marble countertops, Miele dishwasher, etc.... and is sure to please any cook.
While providing a tranquil setting for a home away from home experience, the location is centrally located between downtown (5-10 min), Montecito (15 min.) and the airport (20-25 min.). This is the quintessential Santa Barbara home, where one can easily imagine being in the south of France or on the Amalfi Coast, without the airfare!
There are two king bedrooms upstairs at either end of the house with ocean views, balconies, and baths. The 3rd bedroom upstairs has a double bed or can be used as a second office and part of the master suite. All bedrooms have draperies and/or Roman Shades on all windows. Detached guest quarters downstairs provides a comfortable sitting and work area, as well as queen bed and full bath. We hope you will enjoy and explore all our beautiful region has to offer: miles and miles of white sand beaches, great hiking, golf, and water sports , award winning wineries & restaurants, etc…. If you are also looking to relax at the end of your day from the comfort of your own terrace with one if the best views in Santa Barbara, then this is a good fit for you.
Please note we have a no-smoking policy and are not available for events.

Summary: This is a simply beautiful estate with incredible views of Santa Barbara and the Coast. The outside patio with a fireplace and seating is a terrific place for a meal or snacks while enjoying the view. The bedrooms are all quite comfortable. The only downside is that the upstairs rooms with wonderful views have no drapes so you get full sunlight right away in the morning. If you wake up if there is too much light then this will bother you. The grounds are lovely. The kitchen is well equipped for any kind of meal prep that you want to do and there is a gas grill as well. The owner is very helpful and gave us some nice tips. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Summary: The house, the host, the environs all collaborated to make our multigenerational stay terrific. Our host was very kind, available when we had questions, and made us feel most welcome. The drive way accomodated our three cars and a total of 8 stayed in the house. We all agreed we would want to visit again.

Summary: We had an unforgettable stay at this wonderful estate. The views surpass the pictures by miles. The owner was very helpful and you really do feel as if you are in the Riviera of another country.

Summary: Laurel was great, she has done an amazing job with this beautiful quintessential Santa Barbara home. It couldn't have been better, it was clean open airy with lots of beautiful gardens and patios for all of us to enjoy. We were two families of 4. 4 Adults and 4 older kids, 13, 17's, 21. Thank you Laurel we really enjoyed our stay and we will be back again.

Summary: I read all of the reviews, and feel I can't say much new ... our story is much the same as the others ... a group of six girlfriends chose this house for a special 25 year reunion. The pictures do not do this house justice. Everywhere you look, there's something to feast the eyes on ... from the view that goes on for miles, mountains, Santa Barbara and ocean ... to the lovely paintings, antiques and Spanish Colonial feel of the house ... to the gardens that beg to be explored and sprawl out through the property. I had to pinch myself! While he house is older, which makes for quirky locks, and uneven floors, this only adds to the charm. The furnishings are incredibly cozy, and there are so many places to lose yourself, both inside and out, with a book, glass of wine, or to visit. We used every room ... coffee and wine on the terraces, breakfast al fresco and in the dining room, after dinner drinks in front of the fire. There are many classic books in the library, the kitchen is well appointed, and there are TV set ups, although with so much beauty, who had time? The only "con" is the location, as it is twisty turny up the hill, but it really turns into a "pro" as the view begs you to never leave. I'm counting the days until I can return ...

Summary: Six of us ladies booked a few days in this magical villa. The whole property gives you the feeling that you are somewhere far away from all the chaos that is life. We relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed all the gardens and the patios. Every little space in this house holds another surprise. Laurel made us all feel so welcome,and the houses stunning! We will absolutely be making this a repeat destination.

Summary: Beautiful property. However, the 2nd bathroom upstairs had minimal lighting ( one sconce by door) and only a bathtub w/a handheld shower head which was not modern,comfortable, or practical.

Summary: Our family of four recently rented this home for the week between Christmas and New Year's Eve. We have rented many homes (probably 15, including 3 in SB) over the years & this was a standout. What makes it special? Here are our thoughts: 1) The small things: it is always in the details. We loved the wonderful books in the home, the nice toiletries in the bathrooms & the fabulous boogie boards that Laurel left for our children. 2). The view: it is as good as described in the other reviews. We had 5:00 sunset each night with a glass of wine on the patio. (There are multiple patios & we spent a lot of time outside.) 3). The home: The home is a classic...great architecture and beautifully, yet comfortably, furnished. The home that we rented (at a higher price) last year was not clean & this home was perfectly kept which we appreciated. We highly recommend this home. Our only thoughts are to expect a drive up (the beautiful view does require some work!) of about 7 minutes & expect to use your GPS. Also, bring eye-shades if you are not a morning person as there are no curtains in the upstairs bedrooms. (On the flip side, it is magical to wake up to the red/orange sunrise.) We would rent this home again...truly special.

Summary: A group of friends stayed here for two short nights and it was a fantastic place. Classic old house perched on the hill, amazing view, great grounds. Laurel was great and easy to work with to set everything up. Far enough from town to be quiet and relaxing but close enough to run for more wine if needed. There's a great patio and fireplace and the views are ridiculously good. Definitely didn't want to leave.

Summary: We were in Santa Barbara attending a friend's daughter's wedding. I was in charge of finding a house for our group, this villa could be rented as four bedrooms, there is a studio outside of the main house. I was a little worried that our friends might find the house a bit old. The minute we walked in, everybody was going 'woo and ah", the villa is more beautiful than the pictures shown. The view is stunning, it feels like you are on the Mediterranean coast. We love sitting on the patio having breakfast and watch the fog dissipate, the ocean becomes clearer, we also love sipping wine outside in the evening, with the fireplace lit, watching the city lights below us and the stars above us twinkle. We all agreed that we would like to be back.
