Our gracious family home has all the charm of an antique house with all of the updates of the 21st century.

Charming 100 year old, 4 bedroom home

Want to live life in the Great Gatsby Era? Our beautiful, historic, Tudor style home is a jewel box, originally built in 1929. It was designed by a well known Architect, Keith Lockard, as his own residence. Our home has been updated and completely remodeled, with state of the art technology...but you would never guess it. Everything has been hidden behind the scene, done to maintain its antique charm.   It is located just a block and a half from State street, and only a couple of blocks in all directions from many of Santa Barbara's better known restaurants, the theatre district and fabulous shopping. It is also only one exit from the beach, making it only a 5 minute drive to sand and surf. 
Start your day with a beach walk and breakfast at one of the ocean view eateries. Shop all day,  tour the wine county or take a whale watching trip. Use our bicycles to explore the historic sites of Santa Barbara like the Santa Barbara Mission, the Historic Courthouse, or the Presidio. Then return home and relax in the oversized, in the ground Jacuzzi, and leisurely dress for dinner out...or grill in on our very private patio while yo enjoy a glass of wine from one of the local wineries in the Funk Zone.

Cozy 2-bd Guest Cottage (CURRENTLY UNAIL) 

This apartment is our vacation rental. It rents out for most of the summer and holidays so off season is the best time to offer a swap. I also do not swap for more than 1 week, preferably less. I am asking for a cleaning fee of $85 when it is a points swap. My apartment is also available to rent at a discounted price ( when compared to local hotels ) of $200 per night, no taxes or hidden fees.  

We live upstairs on the 2nd and 3rd levels of our 3-story craftsman house, and the apartment is on the 1st floor. Our entry and outside area is on the opposite side of the home as the apartment, so there is quite a lot of privacy for both us and our guests.  We are located in what is known as the lower riviera section of Santa Barbara. 
There is over 1400 square feet of living space for this apartment. This includes several decks and large patio. The apartment is 600 sf and the outdoor area exclusive to this apartment is 850 sf. There is 1 parking space for this unit.

This is an old charming home built in the 1940's. Everything is a bit out of square with lots of little steps up and down and posts and beams all around. The entire apartment was recently remodeled.

There is 1 private bedroom with a queen size bed and a semi private sleeping alcove with a full size bed. The alcove does not have a door and it is 3 steps up with a low ceiling of 6 feet.  Off of the bedroom is the newly remodeled bathroom, with a tiled shower, and slate floors. Also from the bedroom there are french doors leading to a private outdoor deck. This is the perfect place for morning coffee.  
There are 2 spots from this apartment that there is a bit of an ocean view, seen between the neighbor's roof, otherwise the charm of this house is all the wonderful sunny outdoor areas among the oak trees and the clean and cozy indoor areas.

Santa Barbara is a beautiful Spanish style beach community with lots of shopping and outdoor activities including kayaking and sailing and hiking. The climate is mild year round, surrounded by the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other. It is known as the Riviera of the United States.
We are 2 hours north of Los Angeles and 4 hours south of San Francisco.
