About this property

3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms at home in a park as a setting

Very comfortable and well appointed home on one half acre with lots of trees, grass, beautiful landscape-all the comforts of home without any of the usual responsibilities.

Located just 2 miles from the beach community of Carpinteria and an even shorter distance to the quaint little beach town of Summerland, and about 5 miles from downtown Santa Barbara where you will find 'fine to funky' dining, outdoor cafes, a great zoo, museums, street musicians, beautiful beaches, and plenty of outdoor activities for everyone in the family.

Enjoy relaxing afternoons around the pool and jacuzzi (pool is heated June-Sept. and jacuzzi is 'good to go' year round) on your new 1400 sq. Ft deck where you will find plenty of sun or shade to read that book you have not found the time to get around to. There are many different areas to relax and even your own beach overlooking the pool.

If you are a horse lover (even if you aren't!), take in an afternoon polo match played by the top polo players in the world (May-September). This is where Prince William played in the summer of 2011-for what ever THAT'S worth!

Or if you are more inclined to a more active stay, take a run, walk or bike ride on several trails that are near by.

Make this your home away from home for all your get-away trips to beautiful Santa Barbara!

AMAZING home!!
This property is absolutely amazing! Beautiful, well kept, perfect location that is quiet but close to everything. The yard is breathtaking and the pool and deck are spectacular for relaxing and for family fun. The hosts are wonderful--kind, helpful and so inviting. We hope to return again and again!

Relaxing
The home and property were just as described in the VRBO post. Plenty of outdoor space to chill and relax. Cute beach area at the far end of pool and deck. We were 5 (grandma, and family of four.) Comfortable indoor spaces. Bedrooms were comfortable with great bedding. Owners were nearby and checked in to see we had what we needed. Joan and Ed were lovely and their home was filled with love. We explored nearby beaches and the laid back Carpinteria beach town. Coming from Los Angeles we were thrilled and amazed at the lack of crowds. Lots of people enjoying the area and the beaches, but never a problem finding parking or having to wait in long lines.

Great late August stay
We stayed for our daughter's beach wedding in Carpintaria. The house gave great access to downtown Carpintaria and quick access to Santa Barbara. The house was well appointed and the back decks were a great place to hang out in comfort. There is a park at exit 90 (close to house) that provides good access to a very nice beach and if you like horses, you can check out the polo club which is also walking distance. Would stay there again if in the area.

About the host

Hosted by ed and/or joan

Host profile image
We are a semi-retired couple who travel quite a bit. When in town and our home is rented, we may stay in the cottage that is also on the 1/2 acre property. However, it is in the front part of the property, while the pool, spa, bar-b-que and deck are in the back part of the lot and well secluded with all the privacy our guests desire. In fact, we have often gone an entire week without seeing-or being seen-by our guests, since when we are in Santa Barbara, we are usually out and about from early morning till night time-working or playing.

An explanation on city taxes. Santa Barbara charges a mandatory 12% bed tax. In addition, they have now required a 2% Tourism Business Tax for all who rent rooms/homes. We have listed that in the charges as a 14% tax. Joan
