Originally built in 1930, the property maintains its old world charm with its white picket fence and quaint, single story appearance, but was updated in 2013 with a modern kitchen, refinished oak hardwood floors and beautiful double pane windows throughout. The home has been decorated to compliment the look and feel of the home and area. The neutral shades work well with our natural and vintage beach décor. Each piece was carefully selected to make this home cozy and comfortable so guests could enjoy their stay in a tranquil setting.

The family room is open and comfortable with a Sofa-U-Love sofa and 46 HD flat screen TV equipped with a Roku device for all your streaming options. The kitchen is completely remodeled and updated with all new stainless steel appliances and is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare your meals. Great natural lighting and counter with bar stools allow family and friends to gather where the action is. Spacious dining room with service for six is just off the kitchen. The two bathrooms were completely remodeled in 2013 with all new, modern fixtures. The master has plenty of closet space with a cushion topped Serta California king mattress and the other 2 bedrooms have the same bed in a queen size. Those 2 rooms also have access to back porch/yard from the bedroom through french doors. All bedrooms are flat panel TV equipped with Roku streaming devices.

The backyard was landscaped in June 2013 with a 400 square foot flagstone patio, lush palms and Santa Barbara native foliage. An 8'x10' pergola provides ample shade for our patio table that comfortably seats six. A second patio table with seating for 4 can be found in our front yard garden. Guests can challenge one another to a friendly game of ping pong on our outdoor Kettler table. A new grilling 'station', complete with overhead market umbrella and four burner gas grill lets you BBQ in style. The setting is completed with a propane space heater (for those cool Santa Barbara evenings) and a couple of comfortable lounge chairs.

The detached garage has been converted into a game room straight from your youth (if you're a child of the '80's, that is) with over a half dozen original, full size classic arcade games including Pac-Man and Donkey Kong (no quarters necessary!) A front loading washer/dryer is also available to clean up after your jaunts to the beach. If you'd like to use our Electra cruisers to get around town they are available for rent. The front porch is a great place to hang out and if you prefer more privacy, the back yard is very private and peaceful.

Downtown Santa Barbara is an easy 4-5 blocks away. State Street is know for it's shopping and dining so you have everything you need. The Daily Grind is just around the corner so you don't have to go far for your espresso coffee. During the day, drive 5 minutes up to the historic Mission, or 5 minutes down to the beach. Or even better, just bike straight down 2 miles to the ocean. The Santa Barbara Bowl, within walking distance, is a beautiful place to enjoy concerts under the stars. Parks for the kids and all the best Santa Barbara has to offer is within easy reach of the property. For an excursion, enjoy a 30 minute drive to the Santa Ynez wine country or venture further to the lovely towns of Solvang, Pismo Beach, or San Luis Obisbo.

    Being an UCSB alum, I was excited to head to SB to show my family my old stomping grounds. Landing at this rental made the trip even more perfect than I had hoped. The amenities and care for which the owners provide the home are outstanding. Drew was responsive with any questions and thoughtful to remind us of anything that needed attending to during our visit like trash collection. We walked for breakfast every day to Daily Grind, walked to State Street and everything else was a quick car ride away with easy parking waiting for us back at home. Will absolutely be back!

    My family stayed here for a week. The house is well appointed. We had 7 people in here comfortably. The decor and layout of the house are tasteful and well done. My kids loved the video games. We used the boogie boards and beach chairs many times during our stay. The bikes are nice. The house is in a good location. The neighborhood is calm and quiet, there is only noise from street traffic which varies throughout the day. I'd recommend this property to friends!

    Everthing you need is found in this charming home in a great Santa Barbara location. I appreciated the owners attention to detail and responsiveness throughout the process. We had a wonderful weekend celebrating graduation, birthday and Father's Day. A nice find in SB; we hope to return.

    Our extended family - two adult sons, daughter-in-laws and two small grandchildren - really enjoyed staying in this home. Clean and well appointed, the home suited our needs well. We LOVED the private patio and game room. The place was perfectly decorated and the owner took special care to ensure we had the information we need to be comfortable. There is easy access to commerce within a five minute walk. The beach area is just a couple of miles, away, accessible through convenient bus stops if you don't want to drive. Do try out the local ice cream parlor - delicious! We highly recommend this home to anyone considering a Santa Barbara visit.

    Such a great home with everything we needed for a great Santa Barbara weekend! The house was spacious and the outdoor areas were so fun. We loved our weekend here and hope to return again. Thank you so much for helping to make our weekend so special.

    The house had everything we needed plus more. This beautiful house was tucked back in a quiet section of Santa Barbara but close enough to the heart of the city with all of the shops and restaurants. Drew and his family did a great job preparing everything in our preparation and providing more than enough information for first time visitors to the great city of Santa Barbara. The property is spacious and had all amenities we needed. The backyard was a great area to relax at towards the end of the night. There were even local places within a block or two to get something to eat or have coffee without having to walk to the downtown area.

    We had a great time in SB. Drew did a great job in educating us prior to arrival on the details of the home. Love the outside and outdoor heater. Great coffee shop and ice cream stop in walking distance.

    The house was perfect in every sense of the word: location, amenities, cleanliness. The bungalow has such charm and the back patio and arcade were great bonuses to this already beautiful house. Being around the corner from McConnell's was also great. We hope to stay here again in the future and we would rent the bikes the next time as well.
