Amazing Ocean, Island, and City Views From Contemporary Home!

Island View Escape

High above the city, with the most coveted views in Santa Barbara, Island View Escape lives up to its name.

Perched on the hillside of what has become known as “America's Riviera,” the home's sweeping views are truly spectacular; the majestic Channel Islands add the dramatic punctuation to the vast panorama. The tri-level remodeled home is cheerful and bright, taking full advantage of the hillside location. On frequently clear days, it really does feel as though one could see forever!

The main living spaces flow openly thanks to volume ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and walls of picture windows and doors that create unobstructed access to coastline and city views. As the prime perch for everything from sunrise yoga to after-hours stargazing, the wrap-around deck is complete with gas barbecue, dining for six, and a corner sitting area, all suspended above the iconic red-tile roofs of Santa Barbara.

In the living room, relax in front of the stone fireplace, pop some popcorn for movie night, or sink into the sectional sofa for an afternoon catnap. With inclusive, open design, cooking in the well-equipped kitchen is pure pleasure with an abundance of appliances and granite counter space, as well as a large center island with seating. Whether choosing to dine in the sun-drenched dining room or on the deck, the setting is striking. A guest bedroom with a queen-size bed and a hall bathroom with a tub and shower complete the entry-level floor plan. Air conditioning is not often needed in the mild climate here, but it is a nice amenity to have on warmer days.

The private master suite with a comfortable king-size bed and walk-in closet is located up a short flight of stairs off the living room. Sitting in the sunny bay window is an open invitation for reflection, or step outside to the private view deck with chaise lounges. A spacious dual walk-in shower and a luxurious jetted tub in the bay window with automatic shades anchors the spa-like master bathroom.

The third bedroom with a queen-size bed is accessed by way of an amusing opening bookcase that reveals a staircase to this cheerful hidden hideaway. Consistent with the scenic theme of the home, there are windows on three sides to frame the ocean and cityscape below.

When ready to venture out, drive along Alameda Padre Serra, the rim drive that winds along the Riviera. The scenic drive leads east towards Montecito, or west towards historic Old Mission Santa Barbara. Bring a picnic and stop by to smell the hundreds of blooms in the award-winning rose gardens. Hillside hikes to hidden parks and exploring the eclectic neighborhoods of the city are only the beginning of the myriad of activities worth choosing. However, if “getting away from it all” is high on the agenda, the ideal way to escape a busy life is to kick back, relax, and enjoy an extended restorative stay at Island View Escape. Appreciate Santa Barbara living at its best…you may never leave!

(Please note: As is the case with many Riviera properties, the driveway is steep, though the garage offers a level landing for one low profile vehicle. With the safety of little ones in mind, the deck's design may not be suitable for small children to be left unattended.)
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be within walking distance of Santa Barbara Bowl. Concierge services are available. A kitchen and 2 bathrooms are available in the holiday home.

Holiday with City Views
We spent the month of December in the lovely home with 180’ degree views of the city,ocean and mountains. The home had everything we needed. The dining area seats 8 with views of the sunset. The kitchen is fully stocked with high end appliances. The beds were very comfortable with nice linens and down comforters. The primary bedroom had views that were just amazing of the sunrise. The only negative is there is no area outside for your pet. But, lots of places to walk thru the Riviera. You won’t be disappointed.

Property needs a little updating (fix ice machine dishwasher) but overall the rental company thinks of everything. We had 3 power outages, tv broke but the team is pretty responsive when they can handle the situation. There was no plan for the outage (except flashlights). Maybe at least a list of cooling centers or the best a generator cuz it was 104 degrees, and we had no option of what t do with the dog. The team did not know what to do so they just hid hoping it would resolve itself! But a great house ! The Driveway is treacherous and should be addressed. One wrong move and it’s over!
