Soak in the cliffside hot tub, swim in the heated pool (optional daily heating), and unwind in beautifully designed outdoor spaces for lounging, dining, and gathering. Fire up the gas grill, enjoy sunset dinners on the terrace, or cozy up by the outdoor fireplace or fire pit under the stars.

Additional Amenities Include:
• High-speed Wi-Fi and smart TVs

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.

Heaven above the clouds

The architecture and the views were both majestic and related. The sunrise from the bedroom and sunset from the pool deck added significant ambience to our family trip. The Zen Gardens and the hot tub made for a relaxing vibe enjoyed by all. The full kitchen is perfect for stay at home meals. There is no reason to leave this beautiful home. We only ended up going out one night. It was worth every penny.!!

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!!
