About Ian Anderson

This recently updated home has been a family treasure since my grandparents purchased it nearly 50 years ago.

Ian Anderson purchased this apartment in 1965
Why Ian Anderson chose Santa Barbara

We grew up on California's central coast, and now make Santa Barbara our home. It is a wonderful place to live and we feel like we're vacationing in our own home town. This home is central to the Santa Ynez wine country, and just 90 minutes from Los Angeles.

Great Find

5 of 5
Submitted: May 16, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
We were so happy to have found this spacious and comfortable place. For the price of a nice hotel room, we had an extra bedroom, living room, dining room and kitchen. All is as described on the website. Additionally, the place was in perfect shape, quiet and an easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Really wish we could have had more time there. I have visited or stayed in almost every coastal town south of San Francisco and I would rate Santa Barbara the best. We look forward to returning.

I would recommend this rental. The house was nicely decorated and had everything you need. The location was walking distance to the beach, shops and restaurants. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely stay there again if we went to Santa Barbara.

Awesome Home away from Home!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 3, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
What a wonderful vacation home to stay in! It was absolutely beautiful and so accommodating;everything from the linens to the washer dryer and a fully equipped kitchen. (thanks for the complimentary bottle of wine as well)!
As for the location, it is only a 2 block walk to the beach and a short walk to the downtown area. I felt very safe and secure my entire time in Santa Barbara.
Places to visit? I enjoyed the volleyball on the beach and all the attractions there. A trip to the tasting room and Santa Barbara Winery is a must. Of course the beautiful Court House and other downtown stores and attractions and a quaint bistro DiAngelos for breakfast is a must. ALL of these and more are walking distance from the rental.
It is in a perfect location in a nice quiet neighborhood and still not far from the shopping, eating and the nightlife Santa Barbara has to offer!
We would recommend this rental to anyone.It is a definite 10!!

Santa Barbara

We spent fabulous 10 days at this property. The property owner, Ian, was super helpful since our arrival at Los Angeles International Airport. He accommodated and was very receptive of our needs during our stay.

The property is an upstairs unit in a historic two story house located only two blocks away from the beach, and State Street. You are in the heart of Santa Barbara. There is a parking spot on the street as well as a private parking space at the backyard in case one has a rental car. Bus stops are two blocks away and from these stations one can easily catch those that run on the shoreline route and up & down on State Street.

The house offers every comfort one can ask for. Every gadget is brand new, kitchen utensils are spotless, and house decoration has an elegant taste.

Within walking distance. there are number of restaurants including Santa Barbara Roasting Co, one of those favorite places to get a coffee break.

From the property, one can easily walk to the harbor, and rent boats, kayaks, sailing equipment. On Sundays, there is an open air exhibit on the shore line where local artists display their hand made collections. We have taken advantage of this property’s close proximity and enjoyed Santa Barbara a lot.

Overall, we are super satisfied with our stay and would not need to look for a place for our next visit in Santa Barbara.

Very clean, well-appointed apartment with a nice kitchen and separate dining area. We loved the apartment layout, the private parking spot and the location - we walked along the beach and to Stearns Wharf for lunch. We would happily stay here again.
