About this property

Santa Barbara Riviera Ocean View Cottage

We have a completely rebuilt cottage on the Santa Barbara Riviera with a fabulous ocean view. The property has been in our family for 70 years, and we are now offering to share it for your vacation. The cottage has 2 bedrooms. It is in a park-like setting with an ocean-view deck running the length of the cottage and a separate private patio. Every detail has been taken care of.

The beach is 2 miles away. Downtown is a 5 minute drive. This cottage is amazingly close to everything, yet you feel like you are away from it all.

The amenities include a fully-equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds, a gas grill, 2 outside eating areas, washer and dryer, flat-screen cable TV and Wi-Fi. Linens are included.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us for if you would like more information.

Minimum stay is 31 days. Santa Barbara City Council made the change effective January 1, 2017.

Fabulous view of Santa Barbara and the Pacific.
This cottage has everything you need to enjoy your vacation. Well equipped kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, patio and a deck and view to die for. Beautiful private surroundings and a host that was undeniably the best. Comfortable beds, washer and dryer. Couldn’t have had a better time. Thank you Ginger

Best summer ever!
This property is breathtaking !! The view is gorgeous! The owner was readily available to answer any questions we had. The cottage was clean and well appointed. Great restaurants , shopping, hiking, horseback riding , vineyards and wine tasting and of course the beaches were all close by. Just had a wonderful stay and want to come back again as soon as we can!!!

Perfect Escape From Winter
If you ever find yourself thinking winter is too long and cold, I hope you are able to leave the snow behind and stay in Ginger's adorable casita. The kitchen is one of the best-equipped I have seen in a VRBO, and the location is ideal for getting just about anywhere -- the beach, hiking trails, and downtown SB. Ginger is lovely and the neighbors friendly. My 2 months here came and went too quickly. I can see making this an annual habit! 😎

Great Stay on the Lower Riviera!
The cottage is just as described and as others have mentioned...the pictures don’t do it justice. The views are wonderful day and night of Santa Barbara and the ocean beyond. The various outdoor seating areas are great for sun and shade. The street and drive up is steep! But otherwise the neighborhood is quiet...you barely see the neighbors...overall it is a very private location. I travelled with my dogs and stayed for what ended up being two months and it couldn’t have been more comfortable. Ginger, the owner, was great about being in touch with everything I needed to settle in. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
