Welcome to Casa de la Mariposa (House of the butterfly), the Santa Barbara vacation rental that is too great to keep secret!  Our luxurious home is a tranquil escape, quietly hidden from the bustle of city life, yet just a quick bike ride from the beach and a short drive from downtown Santa Barbara.

 

Step into our home and feel stress slip from your mind.  Open a complimentary bottle of local wine from the bar and sample gourmet cheeses from your gift basket.  Lower yourself into the new 6 person spa and watch the hummingbirds and our resident Monarch Butterflies play in the yard of blooming flowers, or relax in the hammock in the shade of the front yard, overlooking the adjacent park.

 

For the active vacationers, opportunities to enjoy the spectacular Santa Barbara outdoors abound.  Across the street, a pair of newly refinished tennis courts wait amidst one of the premier Frisbee golf courses in the country.  Take one of the two house bicycles and ride to our local beach, next to the world class Bacara resort.  Kayaking, surfing, hiking, fishing and every imaginable activity are within easy access.

 

Geographically located in Santa Barbara’s beautiful central coast, our home is a quick 5 min drive to UCSB and the Santa Barbara Airport.  Glen Annie and Sandpiper golf courses are within 2 miles and downtown Santa Barbara is just 12 miles up our un-crowded freeway.

 

Bring your family and friends and come to enjoy our slice of paradise.  Cook a feast on our wood-fired BBQ or gas grill, sip wine by the fireplace, or just take off your shoes and watch a movie on the plasma TV with home theater surround sound. 

 

Come discover what our home has to offer and make our home, your home in Santa Barbara!
