Historic Downtown Retreat - Tradition and Comfort in the Heart of Santa Barbara

NOTE: We do not use the availability calendar on this website. Please visit Paradise Retreats website for availability information.

Contemporary comfort meets classic Santa Barbara in this fabulous home in the historic Bungalow District. Completely remodeled in 2008, no detail was left untouched in this gracious property. Each room has been finished with attention to style. The master suite with 4-post King bed boasts a large deck overlooking the city. The other 2 guest rooms are also tastefully furnished with King beds. All bathrooms have been thoroughly updated with new tile, floors, and fixtures.

Much attention was given to the large and beautiful Media Room. A 58' flat screen TV w/DVD and Surround Sound are enjoyed from brand new comfortable seating . Included is a daybed for extra lounging. A warm and cozy fireplace is the finishing touch on this special area of the home. A second fireplace adds atmosphere to the family/living room. Reading and conversation are made easy with the quality furniture and lighting.

The living room couch converts to a queen bed for extra guests. The kitchen has new stainless steel appliances and is fully stocked with everything a discriminating chef would need. New cabinetry, in the classic bungalow style, creates an environment for slowing g down and relaxing while in the kitchen. The property is centrally located. It is an easy 4-5 blocks to State Street with all the wonderful shopping, dining , and attractions of Downtown Santa Barbara. It is a 5 minute drive to the historic Santa Barbara Mission, the Natural History Museum, and Mission Canyon; the gateway to our beautiful mountains. The Santa Barbara Bowl, just a short walk, offers concerts under the stars. In addition, there are fun parks for the kids close by and a neighborhood market 1/2 block away. Historic Downtown Retreat provides all the best in a Santa Barbara getaway. It's style, comfort, and quality reflect the owners' love and passion for the Santa Barbara lifestyle.

Please come and share this lifestyle with us! Please note: this property is adjacent to our other property, Historic Downtown Cottage. Larger groups can rent both properties to accommodate 12-14 guests.

(Transcribed from the guestbook at the home)
Once again we return to SB for a mid- winter escape. Our First time here at Historic Downtown Retreat was delightful. Love the house and location. We Figured out the remote in time to watch Downtown Abby – Season 3, drank wine on the deck and enjoyed the fire in the cool of the morning. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing your home with us. The fireplace was cozy
in the midst of the downpour. The beds were comfy and the
neighborhood was a drenched walking adventure. A lovely pre-
Thanksgiving reunion!
