Having traveled the world, I appreciate people from all cultures and proclivities. I welcome you, your family, friends and pets to enjoy my family home, which is tastefully curated with art, books and antiques collected for generations. I lovingly tend the 1/2 acre of gardens which you are welcome to explore. One of my greatest joys in life is to offer my piece of paradise to the world. Airbnb and the county of Santa Barbara have a strict NO PARTIES rule. Max 8 people can gather here. The space You will be staying in a farm house built in 1900, which was updated in 2016, HOUSE “A”. The interiors reflect the bohemian roots of my artistic family. Art work from around the world adorns the walls. Asian carpets cover the original oak floors. There are collections of books in almost every room. A Steinway piano, a Chinese gong and a baritone ukulele await being played. Each bedroom offers beds covered in quality organic cotton or bamboo sheets. There are also ceiling fans, black out curtains, white noise machines, and AppleTvs in each bedroom. The kitchen can accommodate preparations for elaborate meals with all the cooking appliances, bake ware, pans and implements that you may need. New 8 person Jacuzzi installed in May 2022! The entire property is set up with a mesh ethernet system that provides up to 1 gig mbps on a computer and 400 mbps on a phone, not only in the house but throughout the gardens. If you need to work, you can do it inside or out. For your security, a Ring doorbell and camera are located at the laundry room door, the side gate to the patio and on the deck of one of the bedrooms that face the street. Security cameras watch the parking area and the driveway. ***Your safety and privacy are important to me! That being said, this house may not be the best fit for the differently abled.

The driveway gates have the UNDER THE OAKS logo sign on them as well as the letter A. The guests have full access to the house and surrounding gardens. The house entry is with coded keypads. The house at the back of the property, house B, is my house. Other things to note I do allow dogs, but not if they like to dig in gardens. Cleaning up after your dog is mandatory to preserve the cleanliness and enjoyment of the garden and yard. Dogs must never be left in the house by themselves. There is a $250 fine if you do leave your dogs in the house alone while you are gone. Thank you.
