Post Script Beach House, Barefoot Luxury in Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara, California, United States

pHard to come by on the Mesa, this blufftop home offers a rare kind of quiet, barefoot elegance. The views are stunning and remain the heart of this place. It’s a true Santa Barbara gem—nestled between the beach, the harbor, and downtown, yet tucked just far enough away to feel peacefully apart from it all./pbrbrpPerched above Leadbetter Beach, the house blends understated design with one of Santa Barbara’s most sought-after coastal outlooks—open sky, ocean, harbor, and the silhouette of the Santa Ynez Mountains./pbrbrpInside, the interiors are calm and thoughtfully designed. Spaces open to a wraparound deck that feels like a natural extension of the living area. Beyond the glass, the view shifts with the light and weather, making even the simplest moments feel expansive and grounded./pbrbrpA private gate leads to a footpath that takes you directly across the street to the beach. You’re steps from the sand, yet tucked away enough to feel completely still. Days here can be as slow or as active as you’d like—walk to Shoreline Café or the harbor, bike the waterfront path to downtown, or grab a surfboard and head into the waves. The house is stocked with everything you need: new Chatham beach cruisers, surfboards, body boards, beach gear, a heated outdoor shower, a barbecue, and spaces to gather./pbrbrpEvenings are simple: a quiet soak in the hot tub, dinner outdoors, and maybe lounging by the fire pit with s’mores and a glass of wine. Not much else is needed./pbrbrpemPost Script/em isn’t a showpiece—it’s more personal than that. Understated, deeply comfortable, and designed for a Santa Barbara stay that feels off the radar in the best way./pbrbrpstrongPlease Note:/strongbrbrbrThe house can accommodate up to 6 guests, but not 6 adults, as one bed is full-sized.

Walkable wine, beaches, restaurants, downtown nights, and dolphin mornings

Santa Barbara, California, United States

Step through a storybook archway gate (complete with green, vining foliage), and you’ll find yourself transported: shaded bistro table on the right, lavender on the left, and bouquets of white roses straight ahead. Up three, wide flagstone steps, input a quick door code (last four of your phone number), then you’re inside. Drop your bags and relax. The hard part is over. Now for the fun to begin.brbrSun RoombrStepping into our Sun Room, notice how you immediately feel cool, like a sea breeze is whipping around your hair. That’s our central air-conditioning, which is available year-round; set it to whatever you’d like. To your right is our book nook with big windows and a bookshelf stocked with beach reads. Sit on a velvet chair at the café table and have a coffee, journal, or take advantage of our fast wifi. Across the way to your left is a cozy, elevated daybed with tons of pillows. If you’d like some privacy or want to turn the space into a bedroom, two French doors can shut the Sun Room off from the Living Room so you can sleep on the trundle daybed (pull out its lower twin, if you need the extra bed). PSA to light sleepers: note the white noise machine on the console table.brbrBedroomsbrThree bedrooms are all just about the same size (so there won’t be a fight over who gets the master suite). High ceilings, fans, wooden hangers in closets, queen-sized beds, and light streaming through the tall windows. Our curtains aren’t blackout, but they are gorgeous. Note the fresh sheets, photo art displaying natural scenes local to the area, designer-selected carpets, clothes storage, and luggage stands. Find extra blankets and pillows in the bedroom closets along with cleaning supplies, like broom and dustpan, if the mood to sweep should strike you (I hope it doesn’t). There’s a queen-sized SoundAsleep dream series air mattress with ComfortCoil tech & built-in high capacity pump located in the back-bedroom closet (sheets are nearby in a basket). brbrLiving roombrA sectional couch with a queen-sized pull-out bed wraps around a smart TV offering cable and streaming services (like Netflix and Max). On the TV stand, there’s also a Bluetooth sound system, a router, and, inside, loads of games for all ages. Lift up the chaise lounge part of the couch to find a blanket, pillows, a duvet, and duvet cover. To disinfect soft furnishings, all of our upholstery is regularly steam-cleaned with a commercial grade steamer. Two French doors can shut the Living Room off from the Kitchen so you can sleep on the sofa bed in privacy.brbrDining roombrA long wooden table seats ten with comfy chairs and custom, pendulum lighting. Table mats, table cloths, and a child’s clip-on high chair are located in the heirloom hutch. Tempting you to take silly, family photos, are DIY photo-booth props on a nearby stand.brbrKitchenbrA breakfast bar with three high, comfy chairs beckons. Find a gas range, farm sink, microwave, stainless steel knife set, cookware, bakeware, plateware, salt, pepper, olive oil, and cutlery to serve 10. Guests routinely thank us for our well-stocked kitchen. For our caffeinated guests, we offer:brbrCuisinart Coffee Maker (fully automatable, drip coffee)brbrRotating coffee options: Keats & Co via Awesome Coffee, Kicking Horse Coffee Hola, Whole Food organic light roast, etcbrbrRotating tea options: Pique brand crystal organic tea including Jasmine, English Breakfast, Mint, etcbrbrAnthony's Organic Cane Sugar, Gluten Free & Non GMObrbrOff the kitchen, there’s a laundry room with state of the art washer and dryer.

We love kids (so long as they aren't stuffing macaroni in the couch cushions QQ)brbrWe offer a step stool, Pack ’n Play with sheet and mattress cover (check the back bedroom’s closet); clip-on high chair; kid plates, bowls, cups, cutlery, and even a silicone bib (check the kitchen cupboards).

Three or more cars fit in the driveway.brbrBackyardbrPrivate deck, patio, hot tub, sago palm, sun shade, Weber Grill complete with BBQ utensil set, and a long table that seats ten. Avocado and mandarin fruit trees (the latter hangs over from our neighbor’s yard). Pick whatever’s ripe. When it cools down in the evenings, hop in the Verona 6 person spa, it’s got multi-color LED lights, jets, and the tiniest, cascading waterfall in the world. Find spa towels (blue stripes) in the bin next to the spa.brbrAdventuringbrOur main thoroughfare, State Street, is one block away with cafés, fine dining spots, wine tasting rooms, retail stores, museums, movie theaters, and more. West Beach and Stearns Wharf are 0.8 miles or 1.3 kilometers away and reachable via walking along a pedestrian path or by car/bus; Leadbetter surf break is just beyond. Check our digital Welcome Book for details about farmers markets, craft shows, hiking trails, and whatever the heck the Funk Zone is.brbrMake yourself at home; message me if you need anything; and soak in some sunny, Santa Barbara vibes.brbrThe Fine Print aka House RulesbrbrI will go above and beyond to help you have a happy and fulfilling vacation. I mean, I’m a Happiness Engineer; your happiness is basically my job. And that means being upfront about boundaries: so you can plan ahead, so there aren’t any surprises, so you know exactly what you’re getting.brbrHere’s the thing. Being the fantabulous La Maison rental house that we are, we are booked 24/7. That means there’s very little time to get our maintenance workers, cleaners, contractors, property manager, and little elves in and out of the property to make it all sparkling and clean and looking good enough to meet our boss’s standards (she has some Everest-level standards!). So please note that:brbrThere's no early check-in optionbrThere’s no late check-out optionbrbrI don’t have a fetish for telling people no. Believe you me, I want to say yes! YES! All the time! “Go for it, my friend!” But, for some things, it’s imperative to consider liability costs as well as my neighbors’ right to peace and quiet.

Perfect cozy and comfortable getaway two blocks from Oldtown State Street!

Santa Barbara, California, United States

Charming and cozy little house in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara built in 1915. The rooms are small (Think Parisian Hotel for a size comparison) but well-appointed and quaint. You'll find a place to hang your hat, charge your phone, rest your fee, set your glass and simply relax.brbrGreat for guests who want to experience a genuine downtown local experience. A few blocks from the Saturday Farmer's Market. Two blocks east of State Street and Joe's Cafe (highly recommended), French Press Coffee, theaters, shopping...brThe back yard is the sanctuary and my favorite place to take afternoon naps under the wisteria.brbrBecause the house is in the middle of downtown, it is not as quiet as a country mouse. If you want 100% quiet, you will not want to stay here. That being said, I haven't lived in this neighborhood for many years and I have rarely been bothered by the traffic. But the house IS located on a city street and there ARE cars on this street.brbrThe parking spot in my driveway is very small. Guests have fit a Land Rover in and I fit my Tahoe in (very snugly). If you are uncomfortable backing into a tight parking space, you can park overnight on the street. There is a City lot two blocks away for longer, overnight parking for a small fee.brbrThe house is not air-conditioned. There are a few days out of the year when one might want air-conditioning, but I provide fans for the rooms and the dutch door in the front and french door in the back, as well as a few windows provide cross-ventilation on those few hot days. If you need air-conditioning, you may not want to stay here.brbrMy travels around the world have taken me to some incredible hotels and I owned and operated a yacht charter business for 12 years (as Chef, Steward, First Mate and Cruise Director), taking guests to the from the Channel Islands in five star luxury so attention to comfort is of upmost importance to me. The house is equipped with a full kitchen, quality linens, towels, comfortable rugs and furnishings, and if you've forgotten your toothbrush, razor, sunscreen, hair dryer, or shaving cream, you don't have to walk the (one block) down the street to the store.brbrThere are bicycles (and helmuts/locks) for your use, a BBQ for backyard entertaining, a Bose portable music system that connects to your music library so you can have your music in any room, a game table for an impromptu chess, backgammon, or card game, and a new TV with Netflix and Wi Fi.brbrA few times per year, my neighbor has a party in his backyard. I never know when it's going to happen. Although they have generally been good about abiding by the noise curfew of 10 pm, I cannot guarantee that there would be some noise coming from the backyard at some point throughout the year. If that happens, a call to me and me stopping by to speak to them generally brings the noise level down! They are very respectful. They just like to have fun sometimes.
