Classic Santa Barbara living

Description of the Santa Barbara vacation cottage rental

Historic Downtown Cottage - Authentic Luxury in the heart of Santa Barbara

Experience vintage Santa Barbara elegance in this classic Downtown property. Completely restored in 2008, this authentic cottage provides a relaxing escape for couples or small families.

Built in 1929, the home is a beautiful specimen of the historic Santa Barbara bungalow style. The owners have preserved the antique windows, the original wooden floors, the cozy fireplace, and have completely redone the kitchen and baths.

Native landscaping surrounds the property, with beautiful stone walkways and patios. Most of the stone was quarried directly from the property, and all of it was installed by master craftsmen trained in the fine art of sandstone masonry. The back patio features a fountain, a spa, and lovely outdoor furniture for dining and relaxing.

The kitchen is completely remodeled and updated with all new stainless steel appliances, and is stocked to satisfy the needs of the finest chef. The new indoor furniture has been selected with attention to quality and style, and the colors and fabrics all complement the classic feeling of the cottage.

Downtown Santa Barbara is an easy 4-5 blocks away. Take a stroll after dinner for shopping and entertainment. During the day, drive 5 minutes up to the historic Mission, or 5 minutes down to the beach! The Santa Barbara Bowl, within walking distance, is a beautiful place to enjoy concerts under the stars. Parks for the kids are close by and a convenience store is 1/2 block away. All the best of Santa Barbara is within easy reach of the property. For an excursion, enjoy a 30 minute drive to the Santa Ynez wine country.

We invite you to enjoy Historic Downtown Cottage. We hope you allow this property to transport you to a time where quality and taking your time mattered.

Please note: this property is adjacent to our other property, Historic Downtown Retreat. Larger groups can rent both properties to accommodate 12-14 guests.
