About this property

Dog-Friendly, 4-BR w/ Hot Tub & Huge Yard! | Near the Beach | Hummingbird Haven

Escape to Hummingbird Haven! This 4-bedroom Santa Barbara retreat has been carefully curated for relaxation and connection with family and friends. From the private backyard oasis to the interior's marriage of global travel style and Southern California beach living, this home feels like a true breath of fresh air.

Nestled in a secluded neighborhood on the backside of Hope Ranch, you’ll feel like you’re in the quiet of the country - but can still walk to coffee and the local pub! Pulling into the gated and private front gardens, the outside world will melt away.

Inside, discover bright and beautifully decorated interiors that create this home’s unique character. A welcoming living room greets you upon entering while around the corner lies the dazzling, modern kitchen, large island with bar stools and even more seating to keep the chefs company. An adjacent dining area centered by an art-deco chandelier completes the space.

Chic style continues throughout the four comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The Primary bedroom features a queen bed, TV, and ensuite bathroom. Bedroom 2 (Classics Room) features a king bed and Bedroom 3 (Surf Room) offers a queen bed, while a twin bed and twin trundle in Bedroom 4 (California Room) are ideal for children. Both bathrooms highlight luxurious marble countertops and lively wallpaper.

Just outside lies an expansive, enclosed backyard boasting al fresco dining, a huge lawn, and multiple areas to interact and just chill. The patio connected to the living area features a seating area, covered outdoor dining area and grill - ideal for an evening BBQ. Rinse off in the coolest outdoor shower you’ll ever see after a long day at the beach and unwind with a dip in the hot tub. Head to the back of the yard for the ultimate hangout spot, where you’ll find a hammock, plenty of seating, and a fire pit - or enjoy rounds of croquet, cornhole, or catch.

The front also boasts a whimsical Desert Garden with even more places to read, play games, or just relax. A fourth quieter seating area under a massive elm tree has a bench swing with huge sunset views. There are flowering plants everywhere you turn that bloom year-round and you won’t go long without seeing hummingbirds dance and play around the property!

Hummingbird Haven provides a peaceful and private getaway that is still close to all the action. There is a greenbelt/bike trail just down the street that connects to Campus Point/UCSB to the west and the Santa Barabra Waterfront to the east. More Mesa Open Space with expansive vistas of the mountains and ocean and its secret beach is less than a mile from the property! All of the top attractions in Downtown Santa Barbara and UCSB are just a 5-10-minute drive away.

Don’t miss out on Hummingbird Haven, the perfect place to enjoy SoCal’s relaxed lifestyle. You can easily have it all, but this tranquil hideaway is so private and relaxing you may never want to leave!

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!

Known as the "American Riviera," Santa Barbara offers a stunning blend of Mediterranean charm and California cool. Stroll through the vibrant streets of downtown, lined with Spanish-style architecture, boutique shops, and upscale restaurants. From its ocean attractions to breathtaking mountain landscapes, outdoor enthusiasts can hike, surf, or sail all in one day. Don’t miss a visit to the historic Santa Barbara Mission or an afternoon spent wine tasting in the nearby Santa Ynez Valley. Whether you're relaxing on the palm-lined beaches or exploring cultural gems, Santa Barbara is the epitome of coastal elegance.

Local Attractions: Numerous wide and inviting beaches, Stearns Wharf, The Funk Zone, Shoreline Park, Cabrillo Art Walk, State Street pedestrian thoroughfare, Presidio and Historic Courthouse (named one of ten most beautiful public buildings in the U.S.), Old Mission Santa Barbara and Rose Garden, Santa Barbara Zoo & Botanic Garden, Miramar Rosewood Hotel, Sandpiper Golf Course, hiking the American Riviera (5,000’ mountains less than 5 miles from the sea), World Class Wine Country and more!

Home Truths:
- This home accepts a maximum of 2 dogs. This home allows pets for a fee. If undisclosed pets are brought into the home without AvantStay's approval there is a fine of $500 per pet. Pets should not be left unattended at any time.
- Boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella, and beach towels are provided along with a playpen, cornhole, croquet, and other amenities.
- Please note that this home does not have air conditioning, but it’s so close to the Pacific that it’s rarely needed. We have provided fans in every closet to help you stay cool and comfortable on hotter days.
- There is a small apartment attached to the far side of the house that shares the garbage cans and is rented by a long-term tenant who helps out occasionally with gardening.
- Please note that natural oil seeps off the coast occasionally result in black tar deposits along local beaches. These occurrences are common in the region and are a natural phenomenon unrelated to spills or other events. While efforts are often made to keep the beaches clean, visitors may encounter tar on the sand or in the water. We recommend bringing a small bottle of baby oil or another gentle cleaning solution to help remove any tar from skin or feet after a day at the beach and be mindful not to track black tar into the home. A tar kit is located next to the hot tub.
- Wood is provided for the wood-burning fireplace for guest use.

Parking Details:
- 4 parking spaces available.

Great home for a group

This house and the huge yard with multiple seating areas was perfect for our family. The kitchen had everything we needed, the living area was big with games to play, and the patio table was great for our breakfast. The decor was great and everything is updated.

Great last-minute stay!

We were lucky to book this property after a last-minute issue with our other lodging arrangements. The yard and landscaping are amazing, and we were able to see a rocket launch out of Vandenberg SFB from the desert garden out front! Perfect for our multi-generational group, and conveniently located for Santa Barbara and surroundings.

Great place

This is a great house. We had 7 adults and stayed at the end of June. The back and front yards are wonderful. We were all able to sit around the dining room table and in the living room.

Lovely Space Inside and Out

The house is spacious and well furnished with big windows to let the outside In. The outside is amazing: artistically designed landscaping that includes beautiful flowers loved by hummingbirds and much green grass with strategically placed sitting areas, one with a portable fire pit. Great for late night confabs. A really pleasant space to inhabit for a few days.

Huge house in a great location.

I booked this place for a college reunion. It had everything we needed. Plenty of room for everyone. Short trip to the UCSB and downtown area. The backyard was huge. The neighborhood was quiet during our stay. I would definitely book again.

Great weekend stay at Hummingbird Haven!

We had a lovely weekend stay at this beautiful, well maintained pet friendly home while in Santa Barbara to check out wedding venues. Th house was exactly as advertised but in our opinion it was much better in person. The home was lovely and very well equipped. The yard and outdoor areas were just beautiful and very relaxing. It was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of downtown but only a short easy Uber or drive away to every place in Santa Barbara. We will definitely keep this as our place to stay while visiting the area again. Thank you to our host for allowing to enjoy this beautiful home!

This place is GREAT!

Totally updated with whimsy and style. Great for family and dog. Loved the big lawn for kids and pooch while we bbq’d and chilled on the patio. Awesome yoga/massage/IR sauna studio walking distance away. Local shopping including farmer produce stand very close. Easy to get to downtown SB and beaches (great sunset beach walks this time of year). Host was responsive and easy to work with.

Blissful Birthday at Hummingbird Haven

We stayed at Hummingbird Haven to visit and celebrate my son's 21st birthday! I brought my elderly in-laws and my spouse and daughter too. In addition, we brought our 2 doodles.The house was just spectacular and comfortable. It had so much space and it was so cozy and comfortable for all of the young and elder adults. The house was super clean. The beds had great clean linen and very comfortable. There was plenty of towels and general supplies which made it very comfortable.The kitchen was probably the best part of it. It was fully stocked with coffee, grinder, oven, toaster oven, etc. More importantly, it was well stocked with utensils (from knives, spatulas, etc.) and simple things like sugar, salt, pepper, kitchen spices, saran wrap and foil. Also, the freezer had awesome cocktail large ice cubes and spheres - which was great for our cocktails. The host left 2 pitchers of water chilling in the fridge - thanks!My only suggestion would be to convert the fireplace inside to gas. The smoke from the wood fire came inside as the fire subsided from cold air coming down the chimney. Avoid using it.There was so much cleaning supplies which made it very easy and convenient to clean anything from the floor, tables, rug, and pots/pans. A new sponge was ready for our use. These small touches make ALL the difference and feels like you are home away from home.The AvantStay team also provided a welcome gift of a hat, bag, and some snacks. Super nice touch!
