Above it All, Best Views of Santa Barbara

The epitome of contemporary living, this award-winning 3BR/3BA Santa Barbara estate, featured in DWELL magazine, commands an epic hilltop location at the foot of the Santa Ynez Mountains.

The home is affectionately nicknamed "Above it All," which perfectly sums up the setting -- tumbling hillsides and the Pacific Ocean lay sprawled below this incredible retreat. You'll instantly realize why this home has been featured in designer home publications. High-end finishes feature throughout, and sigh-inducing views await from the private pool, hot tub, bedrooms, and living space.

** This rental is not appropriate for children under the age of 10. **

LIVING AREAS
Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open up to mountain and ocean panoramas on each side of the living area. Kick back in an inviting sitting area with comfy furnishings and an indoor-outdoor gas fireplace.

KITCHEN & DINING
The open-concept kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a full suite of integrated appliances. A kitchen bar seats three -- the perfect spot for morning coffee from the Miele espresso machine. Enjoy meals at the beautifully carved wooden dining table, seating 10.

BEDROOMS & BATHS
This house sleeps up to six guests between three immaculately appointed bedrooms, each with breathtaking views. The master bedroom offers a California king bed, 43” wall-mounted TV, gas fireplace, and patio access. An en-suite bathroom has a double vanity, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. The second bedroom boasts a California king bed, 43” wall-mounted TV, gas fireplace, and a private patio. An en-suite bathroom (also accessed via the hallway) features a walk-in shower. The third bedroom has a queen bed, a twin futon, and a 65” wall-mounted TV. An en-suite bathroom features a walk-in shower and can also be accessed via the hallway.

EXTRA PERKS & MORE DETAILS
Complimentary Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, cable TV, a washer/dryer, and driveway parking for three vehicles are provided. The pool can be heated for an additional daily fee. The home's air-conditioning is comprised of separate ceiling units. Opening the sliding doors and letting in a breeze works with these units to keep the home cool. This rental also requires that guests be advised of the applicable ordinances, rules, and regulations regarding their stay. You will be contacted by a representative (who will meet you at your rental) within the first 24 hours of your stay to sign and acknowledge your agreement of these policies.

OUTDOOR AREAS
Take in spectacular vistas of the mountains and the Pacific Ocean from the pool area. Kick back on the outdoor furniture, or make use of the gas grill and dine alfresco by the fireplace. A fire pit offers a cozy spot for conversation under the stars. A private hot tub perched on the property's edge offers more magnificent views.

Access to your professionally cleaned, sanitized home is convenient. All properties have on-site devices for your security – these may include security alarms, decibel monitoring (which do not record voices), and exterior motion sensors or cameras. If you need anything before, during, or after your stay, our 24/7 local team is ready to help!

Beautiful home with incredible views
This is a house I would consider staying at again. It’s not too far from downtown and the views are amazing. We had a couple little hiccups with entering the home and hot tub/pool but the property manager helped us resolve things quickly.

Wonderful Santa Barbara visit!
"Above it all" truly is...above it all. Ideally located between the coast and the mountains and wine country, this property came as advertised - beautiful home, unique location with spectacular views, and fully equipped. From the perspective of this house we were able to look down on the 4th of July fireworks! Highly recommended!!
