*On March 14, 2012 the Trust for Public Lands (TPL) announced it was in negotiations to acquire the Ocean Meadows Golf Course. Once escrow was the land was transferred to UCSB's Cheadle Center for Biological Diversity and Ecological Restoration. As stated on the TPL website:

'The Trust for Public Land is working alongside the California State Coastal Conservancy and the University of California at Santa Barbara to purchase the Devereux Slough and restore it to its natural splendor.

Located at the eastern gateway to the Gaviota Coast, Ocean Meadows is the final acquisition in an open-space strategy known as the Joint Proposal that will link more than 600 acres of land together for people and wildlife to use and enjoy. When it is restored, the site will be used for environmental education, research and gentle recreation.'

However, both the Glen Annie and the ocean front Sandpiper Golf Courses are within 3 miles of the condo.

Perfect hideaway
This was our third time to use a VRBO in the Santa Barbara area. While the others were adequate for our needs this unit was far and away our best yet. Floor plan, accommodations, furnishings all excellent . Location at the Elmwood preserve afforded an excellent opportunity for hiking, biking, and beach time. Stores and restaurants conveniently nearby. Mary was great to work with. Very attentive to our needs. Highly recommend.

Beautiful spot but unclean
Very disappointed by the cleanliness of property especially during covid! pots and pans had crusty food on them, rugs were filthy, furniture stained. Upon arriving I complained owner doubted me said she would check with cleaning team? Was there one ? Food marks on coffee table. Beds OK and location lovely, with a little investment could be a very nice place.Also neighbor to the right was a problem pounding on the wall for no reason.

Great place for a retreat.
Wonderful place for an extended stay. The location is perfect, within walking or biking to many Goleta attractions. Safe, quiet and peaceful. West facing backyard with beautiful sunsets every evening. The property managers are amazing to work with.

About the host

Hosted by Mary

Host profile image
Born during Fiesta, I would roll my eyes when my Dad said 'this is the most beautiful place in the world'. Having now lived abroad and traveled extensively my husband and I have to agree Dad was right. We love it here and take pride in our hometown. We are now raising the 4th generation of south coast locals. We would love to share it with you as we know you too will fall in love.

Why they chose this property

The condo provides a perfect balance between quiet country with city closeness. Steps from 100s of acres of public nature preserve and uncrowded beaches yet only a few miles from the airport, UCSB, shops, restaurants, movies theaters.
