No shared space.. ) If you’re looking to get away to a quiet, peaceful comfortable place to-- relax, “work from home” or explore our beautiful City and surrounding areas, come to Santa Barbara and stay with us for awhile. About 10 minutes from SB Cottage hospital or Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital, Nature’s Retreat is also an ideal and comfortable place to stay while recuperating from surgery. With high speed WiFi, a great fully equipped kitchen, and lots of outdoor surrounding space for walks, hikes, and the beach, Nature’s Retreat offers you a great “home away from home.” Bring your bikes- a wonderful bike path is just down the street. Whether you’re planning to cook or take advantage of all the restaurants providing takeout, or the many food delivery services available, all are at your fingertips. Restaurants are open for indoor and outdoor dining. Upon your arrival you’ll find the home thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to the best of our ability, using cleaning methods recommended by the CDC. You can be assured that all remotes, light switches, cabinet knobs and pulls and door knobs are disinfected also. Private, secluded, and "Romantic", this beautiful and spacious home is near More Mesa, "one of the most outstanding scenic and environmentally sensitive pieces of undeveloped open space remaining on the Coast of Southern California." As a bird refuge (128 species) and natural animal habitat, you may see everything from Red-tailed Hawks, Squirrels, Rabbits, Raccoons, Opossum and Skunk, to Coyote, Fox and sometimes even Bobcats. We also have chickens, and when the hens are laying can offer you some fresh eggs. No rooster. The retreat is walking distance to one of Santa Barbara s most beautiful beaches. (Due to it s seclusion it has a reputation as a "clothing-optional" beach.) This beautifully decorated approximately 2500 sq. foot home with vaulted ceilings, ceiling fans and lots of windows, has an "open" floor plan with living room, dining room and kitchen area sharing one large space. All this looks out on a lovely stone terrace that features a magnificent very old oak tree, and beautiful views of nature just out the back door. A great setting for outdoor dining or just relaxing. The living room has the feel of a European "Country House", with the casual elegance of comfortable sofas and chairs around a fireplace that features an architectural antique carved wood mantel. There are touches of individually picked Architectural antique carved pieces throughout the home, including the soaring antique columns with stone bases from India that support the main arch to the dining area. The dining table seats 6 but can expand with table "leaves." There is a large bookcase/ entertainment center with 52" flatscreen TV and Blu Ray player. The home is equipped with Cox high speed Panoramic WIFI. We have one network for range and one for speed. There is a fully equipped kitchen with center island, Dacor stovetop and Bar seating for 5, Dacor double ovens, a Miele dishwasher, and a Wine Fridge. There is also a comfortable loveseat facing the kitchen. All bedrooms feature luxury all cotton sheets, down comforters and down pillows. We have alternative down options for the master suite. The romantic Master suite features a California King Aireloom pillow top bed, beautiful custom fabrics, a fireplace that is open to the bedroom and bathroom, and a walk- in closet. It has a garden view with fountain and often hummingbirds, doves, gold finches, and many other types of birds visit there. The bathroom features honed travertine floors and countertop with custom tile trim and double sinks. There is a separate private area for shower and toilet. The second bedroom has a queen size Aireloom bed, designer fabrics, a view of beautiful nature with a French door out to the back deck. The charming third bedroom is very cozy, and features a Pine Sleigh bed with full size mattress, and custom fabrics. The second bathroom has a single sink and vanity and a tub- shower combo and toilet. The owners occupy the upstairs unit with exterior private entrance. There is NO SHARED SPACE. The main floor and exterior area are yours and your privacy and ours, is assured. Near miles of trails on More Mesa----- the area is a Bird-Watchers delight. The University (UCSB) to the West and Downtown Santa Barbara to the South are just 10 minutes away. Easy access to biking and hiking. A bike path that will take you both West and South is close by Whether you re interested in a vacation rental or possibly a longer stay-a month to month rental is also available-Please contact the owners. This is an ideal place for vacationers, writers, patients recovering from surgery in the Santa Barbara area, corporate lodging, visiting Doctors or faculty, or someone who is remodeling or building a home in the Santa Barbara area and needs a comfortable place to stay during construction.

Wonderful woodsy with lots of wildlife. Perfect spot for the grandkids to have a Yahtzee tournament with the “old folk”. Cathy was very responsive to any requests and a delight to spend a few minutes conversing with her about her background in the entertainment industry. Make sure you take the time for a short visit, she was delightful. ##### Robert B.

We loved the location with a beautiful walkway to the beach and the cleanliness of the property. We had initially missed that the owners live in the property and thought that may be an issue. But it really was not an issue at all. The property was exactly what we expected based on the description online. We really appreciated that Cathy provided plenty of towels and even beach towels for everyone. We look forward to coming back in the future. ![Walkway to beach About a 20 minute walk with some steep stairs in the end ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/08ee9716-76fb-446c-a3e7-af991d592b07-1753483665207.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View of the beach from the cliffs](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ed77d1c5-5f11-4901-bee5-534643d2c2e9-1753483660927.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Patrick I.

While they kept to themselves and we didn’t see/hear them, this home did lack the privacy we expect when renting a house. The laundry room was locked and off limits, and we were told to leave certain doors unlocked from our side so they could get in should there be an emergency, which left us uneasy. The fact that the house was a shared property was hidden at the very bottom of the description. You don’t have the entire home. This should have been more apparent in the listing and contract. ##### Joel F.

We were five adults and one infant and there was plenty of room for all of us. The home was quite clean and comfortable, and while the owners live upstairs we rarely heard any sounds at all from their quarters. The location was close to town and grocery and other stores were close by. There are several easy walks nearby to a bike path or towards the bluffs overlooking the ocean. A very nice location for a visit to Santa Barbara. ##### Lyn K.

The spacious three-bedroom house is set in a serene, rustic pastoral landscape, offering a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle.Inside, the home is a treasure trove of charm and character, with ornate decor, fascinating art pieces, and family photos that add a warm, personal touch. The large kitchen, seamlessly opening into the family sitting area and dining room, made for a wonderful space to gather, cook, and enjoy meals together.Every detail of the home reflects care and thoughtfulness, making it a comfortable and inviting retreat. We truly appreciated the unique ambiance and welcoming atmosphere. My friends and I truly enjoyed our time at Cathy and Jim's home. We highly recommended their place for anyone looking for a peaceful and inspiring getaway! ##### Jason M. Séjour de 3 nuits en mars 2025 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Beverly D. 5 janv. 2025 Points forts : Propreté #### Great Christmas Holiday In Santa Barbara Six of us stayed at Cathy & Jim's home, beginning on Christmas afternoon thru the next 4 days. Communications were all timely & helpful - and the house was spectacular (quiet setting, very cozy, well stocked kitchen) and great place for lounging, running paths nearly with walk to cliffs along the beach, and easy access to Santa Barbara. There was a huge storm the day before we arrived that knocked out power - so Cathy was busy restoring internet service for a few days after arrival - all resolved and host was very attentive. We brought along Christmas dinner supplies and were delighted to find the wonderful kitchen with every imaginable pan, dish, cooking supply. We also made use of the twin blow up bed, which was perfect. The house is on a dead end street so the driveway/road was helpful for games of catch with my 6 year old grandson. The house was better in person than the photos - filled with comfy chairs, couches, reading books, music, and all nice amenities in the bathrooms. We loved our stay and would return again! ##### Beverly D. Séjour de 3 nuits en décembre 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Deborah O. 22 oct. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Beautiful house!

Séjour de 7 nuits en octobre 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Joan G., Louisville KY USA 4 oct. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### A Santa Barbara Sojourn The house was very comfortable with beautiful interior decor and very comfortable furniture and beds. The kitchen was well equipped and stocked with the necessary basics (re: cooking oil, spices). Wall-enclosed front grounds demonstrated excellent landscaping with fruit-bearing lemon and apple trees. The back patio was spacious, featuring a large interesting oak tree and a path leading to the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. We really didn't want to leave. ##### Joan G. Séjour de 4 nuits en septembre 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Tracy C., Austin, TX 18 août 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Fantastic home in Santa Barbara Nature's retreat is a lovely property. The grounds are amazing and the view of the mesa is so nice! Cathy is a great hostess and makes sure all the details are taken care of. We loved sitting on the side patio by the fountain watching the birds and on the main patio enjoying a glass of wine. The location is fantastic as it is midway between UCSB and downtown. There is a close grocery store and you can actually walk to a beach overlook from the house. The kitchen is well stocked and the home is very comfortable. We highly recommend and will stay here again! ##### Tracy C.

The kitchen was outfitted with every pot, pan and dish we needed for home cooked meals. We all enjoyed spending time outside in the beautiful and scenic backyard. Cathy welcomed us with open arms and was available for questions throughout our stay. We would definitely stay here again if we return to SB. ##### Eileen U.

The house had everything, and the hostess was warm and welcoming. An excellent visit overall. ##### David D.

We were thrilled to stay here when we came to Santa Barbara for a UCSB graduation. We celebrated with the family in the lovely backyard, enjoyed the quiet location, and found it convenient to everything. The house is amazing and filled with history. The hostess went out of her way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. My children told me the beds were the best they'd ever slept in. It was a perfect choice for our trip. Thank you Cathy!! ##### Deborah A. Séjour de 3 nuits en juin 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Lyn E. 6 avr. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Beautiful family home The owner Cathy is very detail oriented which was very helpful- all directions for operation of appliances, TV, lights and so on were there and labeled, a booklet of recommendations for restaurants and other info was made up and if we had any questions she was just a text away. The home has the most complete kitchen and equipment in a rental that I have ever seen and her books were great for the rainy weather periods. We loved walking out the door and down a short street to the trail across the mesa to the beach, but driving to attractions was easy also. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very quiet and relaxing stay! ##### Lyn E. Séjour de 7 nuits en mars 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Jeannie M. 11 mars 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Country home Very lovely home, well stocked and comfortable. Quiet and secluded but still close enough to every thing we wanted to do. ##### Jeannie M. Séjour de 3 nuits en mars 2024 ### 8/10 – Bien #### Michele S., Indian land, Sc 9 févr. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Family get together Nice property with large rooms and a huge kitchen. Everything you need is provided to have a comfortable stay. The beds are all very comfortable. We couldn't spend much time outside because of the pineapple express hitting the area. Kind of put a damper on things. It rained more than I have ever seen in California. They provide many options to keep you occupied Puzzles, books, games. Enjoyed our stay in spite of the rain. ##### Michele S. Séjour de 7 nuits en janvier 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### gail s., small town, new mexico, usa 30 oct. 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Beautiful and comfortable home The house was lovely, and pretty perfect in every way. The kitchen was well equipped and the bedding was first rate. We enjoyed knowing about Cathy's musical career. There are three main seating areas inside and we used them all. We proudly hosted a few people that we were in town to see,, and they were very impressed — and comfortable. ##### gail s. Séjour de 4 nuits en octobre 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Voyageur vérifié 2 oct. 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### BEAUTIFUL outdoors, good people. We are a film crew staying in SB, so had three guys staying here - we were looking for a place to shoot an interview and double as accommodations, and Cathy was willing to work with us! She communicated all of her concerns and requests clearly, and nothing was unreasonable - total sport for being willing to take a chance on us. I told her immediately of our intention to shoot and she and Jim decided to get on board and give us a shot. Cathy dropped by the set and was lovely. The guys enjoyed their stay and the house is comfortable and beautiful. ##### Voyageur vérifié Séjour de 4 nuits en septembre 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Chris J. 15 sept. 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### GREAT PROPERTY The house was beautiful the grounds immaculate. The owner was very hospitable and more than helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone. I cannot wait to return!!!! Book it you won’t be sorry. ##### Chris J. Séjour de 4 nuits en septembre 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Jonathan C. 21 août 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Great site, great value! We had everything we needed at the property. It was a great base of operations for a 50th and 75th birthday celebration. Cathy welcomed us, showed us around, and was flexible on small details that made a big difference. There is a great supermarket nearby for essentials, and you can drive anywhere pretty quickly. We loved just sitting on the large patio and deck and enjoing the environment and each other. Thanks! ##### Jonathan C. Séjour de 4 nuits en août 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Tom B. 7 août 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Old Spanish Days We came to Santa Barbara for Old Spanish Days. Cathy our host was great at communicating the check in process with a thorough email. Upon arriving she showed me everything we needed to know about the house and gave me the tour. The house was a perfect fit for our family. Beautiful house, and a very safe on a private road. I would highly recommend Cathy’s house! ##### Tom B. Séjour de 4 nuits en août 2023 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Mark B., Minneapolis, MN, USA 31 juill. 2023 Points forts : Propreté #### Amazing... A beautiful home nestled into the countryside, yet close to downtown Santa Barbara. The house is impeccably decorated, inviting, and comfortable. Cathy and Jim are fantastic hosts and available for any need. Pictures do not do the patio and property justice, the peacefulness of having coffee in the morning while listening to all the birds is not to be missed. We will definitely stay here again! ##### Mark B. Séjour de 3 nuits en juillet 2023
