The perfect family retreat location

Beautiful!

Very special house, views, and owner

Santa Barbara Riviera Bliss

A lovely and most enjoyable retreat

Beautiful property! Beautiful memories!

Beautiful home, perfect for a group

This is the perfect place for a family or group of friends. We were three couples and a single person, some from the Bay Area and some from Southern California, all meeting in Santa Barbara to celebrate a milestone birthday for one person in our group. The bedrooms provided a lot of privacy. The love shack is a great feature--separated from the main house, but still part of the property so anyone who wants a little extra space has it. The well-appointed kitchen, large dining room and outdoor dining table are such good communal areas that we were loathe to eat at restaurants. I highly recommend this house for special gatherings of family and friends. Dan M. SF

Gracious and casual elegance!

We just enjoyed a superb and memorable family reunion at this sumptuous hillside Villa. Although there were comfortable and spacious accommodations for 8 of us, there was ample room for our Santa Barbara family to join us for cookouts, and festive get togethers. We spent a lot of time, morning and evening, relaxing in the private and lush back yard garden area. It was so luxurious to awaken to ocean views from most of the bedrooms, including the glorious eagle's nest vantage of the "Love Shack". We felt surrounded by our own serene shangri la, yet we were minutes to beaches, shopping and hiking trails. Everyone left with great reluctance - we extend huge thanks to Fiona for responding to our every need and request with gracious hospitality! Barbara T.

Truly Lovely

Love this property! Charming Spanish architecture, lush colorful gardens and gorgeous global art and antiques throughout distinguish this home. The 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, living spaces and kitchen in the main house are beautifully appointed, and owner Fiona was divine to work with and very attentive. The Love Shack up the hill would be perfect for a couple or even two older kids to share. Eucalyptus Hill is centrally located between SB and Montecito, near hiking trails and minutes from beaches and downtown. Very convenient and comfortable. Our dog was welcomed too, and we felt secure knowing the back gardens are gated and fenced  Ginger P.

Wonderful home

Our time in Santa Barbara was great. Fiona was so accommodating and helpful. The house was well furnished and comfortable. The location was convenient to Montecito as well as Santa Barbara. The hot tub was a plus as was the outdoor shower and bath tub. We had 7 family members and the house was perfect and had everything we needed. We will be back. Tom N.

wonderful family home

I have a son that lives in Santa Barbara and another in Oakland, Ca. I live in Los Angeles. We decided that we wanted a family vacation for the 9 members of our family in Santa Barbara. We stayed at this wonderful home in the hills and had a great time. The home had everything that we needed. The property went back up the hill and had amazing views. There were terraces off the bedrooms also with great views. We could all gather in the living room or out back on the patio and have a BBQ. The home was in excellent condition and we were treated wonderfully by Fiona & Ocean. I would love to return to this home. Fiona & Ocean open their home for rental when they travel so check with them to see if the house is available. Martin K

Tranquil, Beautiful Villa in the hills of Santa Barbara

We stayed at this gorgeous home for 5 days in October 2014 for our daughter's wedding at Montecito Country Club. The interior is beautiful and well appointed. Everything we could have possibly needed was there, the kitchen was a dream. Our daughter and her wedding attendants all got ready here, the photos were beautiful in the garden and in the luxurious master bedroom with the ocean view in the background. The hot tub was most welcome in the evenings after busy days. Garden and grounds were so lovely and relaxing. The owner was a joy to talk to and was so kind and considerate that I felt as if I was speaking with a dear friend!! Cannot wait to go back and would highly recommend this beautiful home away from home. Sue D.

Wonderful villa in the eucalyptus hills of santa barbara

We spent a wonderful week in this lovely Oasis. The view is exceptionnal. the place inspires calm and serenity. The garden is a small paradise for lovers of nature and meditation. Ara A.

Beautiful, Beautiful Property

We had a wonderful time over the fourth of July weekend at this stunning home. We were four adults, three small children and two dogs and the house felt spacious and open. Though the pictures posted here adequately show the interior (which is really incredibly lovely), they do not do justice to the outdoors of the property and the care and detail given to the landscaping. I think we spent as much time enjoying the grounds as we did playing with the kids in the living room and cooking dinner together. We had a few questions about the house upon arrival, and contacted the people provided as the homeowners were traveling. Within an hour, the homeowners themselves called us back to answer our questions which seemed over and above to us! We are looking forward to making it back as soon as we can. James Q.

Gorgeous, tranquil home in the hills!

This was the perfect getaway oasis for our week long trip to Santa Barbara. Nestled in the hills of SB it's quiet yet accessible to the main town. The rooms are spacious and charming with lovely decor. You can tell the owners have put great thought into this home rental. They communicated all of the nuances of the property which made it very easy to enjoy our stay. We enjoyed the outdoor patio and lounges overlooking the Pacific along with the hot tub. The gardens are impressive and mature - truly making you feel as if you are in a luxury resort. The style of home is one of my favorites - Mediterranean design - charming entry ways, french doors, wrought iron details that add to the many charms of this magnificent home. We cannot wait to return next year! We feel so fortunate to have had this opportunity to stay in this lovely hillside oasis! Julie S.
