    What's special

    Front ocean facing slopeLarge plantersPrivate wingOutdoor patiosEclectic furnishingsFabulous paintingsWhimsical award-winning architecture
    Available for three months to one year after September 11, 2025. This is a furnished house. Dazzling and relaxing, this home, built in 2003, was designed by the well known Santa Barbara architect, Jeff Shelton. We won the Santa Barbara Beautiful Award for that year. The house is located in the quiet and charming upper Riviera neighborhood, 2 blocks from the El Encanto Hotel. Spacious open indoor living area (with half bath) combines top-of-the line cooking, dining and entertainment facilities that merge with a comfortable outdoor patio where your group can soak up the awe-inspiring views of nearby tile rooftops, the Pacific Ocean and the distant Channel Islands. Set away on its own private wing, the master suite (queen) consists of a romantic coved sleeping room adjacent to a more formal reading area. The glass tiled master bath has a washer and dryer (one of two in the home), oversized tub and his and hers dressing areas. Two other bedrooms (queen and double) are located on the first floor. These rooms share a single, fully tiled bathroom and have their own washer and dryer. One bedroom has a private door that open onto a patio. The other bedroom is smaller but very beautiful, with a sleeping nook, couch and dresser. It does not have a closet although one is close by on the other side of the hallway. Outdoor patios located around the garden provide intimate spaces for conversations or reading. The front, ocean facing slope supports navel, valencia, blood orange and three lemon trees. Two large planters grace the side garden. These are now used to grow snap peas, eggplant, tomatoes and a variety of herbs. A self-contained studio apartment, with a separate entrance and kitchen, is located on the side of the house. This space is currently rented long-term but may be available to add on to the house rental in the future. Eclectic furnishings and fabulous paintings, which were collected from local plein-aire artists, blend with the whimsical, award-winning architecture of Jeff Shelton, to create a truly magnificent place to come home to. Although you'll be up above the City, looking over clay tile roofs, the ocean and islands, you are centrally located and only minutes to downtown, beaches and mountain trails. House: 3 bds. 2.5 ba. Rate: $14,000/Month Plus one time cleaning fee ($750). Refundable security deposit ($7500). Dog and cats with well-trimmed toes always considered. 3 months to one year lease All utilities (water, gas, electric, internet & WiFi, gardener and repairs not associated with misuse are paid by owner. $14,000 and refundable $10,000 (security deposit) needed to hold rental. Pets always considered. This is a furnished house. Eclectic, interesting and relaxed. No smoking anywhere on property.
