There's an additional front bedroom, and non-attached bathroom with shower/jet-tub combo. We also have a blow-up air mattress if needed, as well as Lovesac sofas in the living room that we purchased with guests comfort in mind should you have the need for an extra place to sleep.
The home includes any amenity that you could need while away. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking/baking tools, there is a washer & dryer, ironing supplies, a dedicated workspace, shampoo and conditioner, board games, pool/beach towels, beach chairs and more.
This house holds a special place in our hearts as it was our childhood home. Our father was an artist/art-collector, world-traveler, and immigrant, therefore the house is full of his art collections, books, and invaluable artifacts from around the world. Guests are welcome to enjoy the books and browse his collections during their stay."

Style is like the Biltmore meets the Kimpton hotel group.Inspired by some places I have visited (Amangiri, The Boathouse at Mankas), my goal was to offer a place that I would be happy to stay in...A place that is drenched with natural light and good energy, a space that is sophisticated but simple, modern but warm, very clean and very comfortable, and most importantly... inspiring.
Built by the renowned Spanish Style architect Alex D'Alfonso, this home retains all of the charm that makes it quintessentially Santa Barbara, but was tastefully upgraded and remodeled with modern furnishings and amenities to make it bright, functional and comfortable.
