Yet, upon entering each home, guests step from a timeless atmosphere into a thoroughly modern living space. After gathering your gourmet ingredients downstairs in the Public Market, enjoy a home cooked meal in a modern, open concept kitchen with all new top-of-the-line appliances. After dinner, relax on the balcony and enjoy the landscape of red tile roofs and courtyard fountains, or stroll around the corner to catch a film or live performance at the Arlington Theatre or newly renovated Granada. Rented by the month, this modern gem is the ideal location for an extended retreat!

Remodeled and ready! This tastefully renovated ground-floor flat in a well-established, uptown, residential complex has a relaxed, coastal style that melds tastefully with new, mid-century style furnishings. The feel is stylish, fresh, and fabulous!  This area, just north of downtown on Upper State Street, has a residential feel yet is only a few minutes from downtown's energy and fun. Or pack up for the day and head to the beach. The best of Santa Barbara is very easy to get to from here! The reimagined great room is an open, happy space. A showstopping custom coffee table and dual leather couches create a cozy corner to enjoy the large-screen television and fireplace. The round teak table is ideal for elegant dining, long conversations, and lingering over tasty locally-made desserts. (Local's tip: Try the Chocolate Heaven Cake from Jeannines Bakery or decadent French pastries from Renaud's Patisserie a couple blocks away.) The masterfully designed kitchen in coastal blues and whites is bright and well-equipped, with seating at a generously-sized island of quartz anchoring the culinary activity. Though a Keurig coffee maker is at home, the new Starbucks is just up the road too!  Outside is the enclosed courtyard, where a trickling fountain adds a tranquil backdrop to an already serene space. With the addition of the Weber gas grill, ambient lighting, seating, and immediate access to the community pool just outside the private gate, guests have ideal outdoor spaces for all seasons. Chaise lounges and patio tables surround the complex's pool terrace and there is plenty of shade under the cabana too!  In the primary suite, guests will enjoy the comfortable king-size bed, television, and pool terrace views. Grab a book from the living room library collection and hang out in the oversized armchair for hours. An attached bathroom has dual sinks, a walk-in shower, laundry, and plenty of closet space. The second bedroom has a queen-size bed and television, with a full bathroom across the hallway for guest convenience.  As a point of departure, Uptown Hideaway is a great starting point for exploring the city, the coast, and surrounding communities. Perhaps a day of wine tasting or a glider ride in Santa Ynez is in order. Maybe fishing on Cachuma Lake is more in line with the group plan. Stop at the visitor center on Cabrillo Blvd. across from the beach for tons of recreational and touring options. Or for that special occasion, would a loved one appreciate a fine dining experience in Montecito? E-Bikes are the ideal way to get around, too; they're parked all over town. Our welcome book and DACK guest app is also chock full of ideas! Have fun with the planning, and know there is a welcoming place to come home to.  Whether visiting for business, pleasure, celebrations, or just a getaway to disappear and unwind, Uptown Hideaway invites guests to settle in and find a rhythm that suits the goals of any getaway.

Set aside time each day to work out with the Tonal fitness system in the adjacent workout room, then pop outside through the sliding doors and take a refreshing dip in the cedar tub or enjoy the sauna.  Adjacent to the offices are a powder bath and a guest room with a queen-size bed, built-in desk, work table, and attached full bathroom.

Though there will not be garage access, ample off-street parking is available in the driveway.  The location is within easy walking distance to some great hikes off upper Ontare Road, or start off from Steven's Park nearby. Make time for a walk to a few local favorites for coffee and pastries - Jeannines for the best scones around, or Renaud's Patisserie for chocolate croissants and a cafe au lait. There are a couple of local "watering holes" as well, so check the Welcome Book when you arrive, it's all in there!  Life is a gift ... so enjoy every memorable moment as it unfolds at Serene Escape!

Hope Ranch Haven is ideally located near the iconic Las Palmas entrance to Hope Ranch across from the seasonal lake and golf links of La Cumbre Country Club. The mid-century modern ranch-style home was designed by world-renowned architect Cliff May in 1947, whose claim to fame is having conceived of, and created, the iconic "ranch house" known for its linear, single-level design. With updates to the home's original design, the modern result is a cheerful and bright vacation home with a long list of amenities and spaces that offer effortless indoor-outdoor living at its finest.  In addition to the 2,200 square foot main house, there is a detached guest suite with a full bath and laundry, a newly built 1,400 square foot barn with two 1-car garages, and an upstairs bonus room ideal for the "work-from-home" guest or artist. There is even a covered parking area for recreational vehicles.  True to form, the home is laid out linearly in the center of the 1.4-acre property, resulting in two expansive yards, each with its own unique features. The front yard boasts a vast lawn for energetic guests to run and play, a covered terrace for year-round outdoor dining, and a built-in firepit for after-hours enjoyment. The outdoor kitchen features an authentic wood-burning pizza oven, a Big Green Egg charcoal grill/smoker, a wok/single-burner stove, a warming drawer, and an in-counter cooler. Bistro lights illuminate the space after hours.  A unique color palette in the bright and cheerful kitchen makes this culinary space a joy in which to work. Lime green quartz counters contrast white cabinets and subway tiles. The vibrant mango-colored Capital range may be whimsical, but it is the kitchen's workhorse for sure, complete with a griddle for Sunday morning pancakes! French doors open to the terrace, making it easy to keep an eye on the pizza oven and dinner on the grill. Yummy!  Just off the kitchen is a guest bedroom with a queen-size bed, an attached bathroom, and an exterior door for added autonomy and easy access from the motor court. Central to the home's floor plan, a comfortable, elegant living room features a gas fireplace, TV, and two comfortable couches. Sliding glass doors open to the vast front yard where views of the majestic Santa Ynez mountains draw attention to the stunning surroundings that Hope Ranch is known for. The adjacent formal dining room features dining for eight, comfortably.   In the wing off the living room, the primary suite with a king-size bed opens to the front yard and enjoys scenic mountain views, a cedar-lined walk-in closet, and a TV. The elegant attached bath features a large glass shower, a luxurious soaking tub beneath picture windows overlooking the rose garden, and a door to the hallway for added convenience. On the same wing is the third bedroom with a queen-size bed and two adorable fold-out desks to give students in the group a place to finish up their homework before heading outside to play. Because of the mild climate drawing guests outdoors frequently, the home's family room is a beautifully designed outdoor room.  Paneled in richly stained wood and outfitted with a sectional, hanging gas heater, tv, speaker system, and bright lime green curtains that add a fun pop of color and screening, this outdoor room is perfect for year-round indulgence. Large barn doors can be left open to welcome arriving visitors and offer access to the motor court or closed and locked for additional privacy.   One of the most clever elements is the outdoor shower adorned with a vintage wooden surfboard. However, the younger set may argue that this property's two-story playhouse and surrounding artificial turf lawn is way more fun! Other amenities outback include a second dining table under a retractable sunshade, a second firepit, and raised garden beds with a bounty of kale, tomatoes, herbs, and more. However, the true gift of the yard is the lush, mature orchard with 26 trees bearing apples, citrus, avocados, figs, nectarines, blood oranges, peaches, and so much more. Delicious!   As locals call it, "The Ranch" is drenched in natural beauty and a country-like rural charm that will have visitors returning again and again. Guests will also have access to the private Hope Ranch Beach, making this the ideal vacation getaway. A stay at Hope Ranch Haven means relaxation, comfort, seamless indoor-outdoor experiences, and a whole lot of fun...enjoy!
