lovely spot!

we enjoyed our stay...the house was nicely maintained, well-stocked and big enough for 6 adults to comfortably stay. we were not 'home' much due to a wedding and wedding festivities, so i can't speak about cooking there, but we were happy with the house and it met our expectations.

Perfect in every way!

What a gem this house and property! The grounds are beautifully landscaped and full of humming birds! There are so many indoor and outdoor spots to get away to read a book or have a great conversation. The neighborhood is lovely and walkable on the beach. The house is decorated with so many special details and well stocked to cook and enjoy a wonderful meal in an ideal setting! I highly recommend this beautiful well cared for historic home!

Fiesta Fun

We stayed at Casa del Sol for three days during Old Spanish Days. It was a special, magical place for our family because our great grandparents were in the original dance group for the first Santa Barbara Old Spanish Days Fiesta, and Casa del Sol was the home where the first El Presidente, Charles Presley, lived in 1924. Such a rich, historical space in a beautiful location. It was an experience we all cherished.

Just perfect

Spacious, well stocked, split floor plan - worked perfect for our group of 6-8. The home is stunning. Kitchen is upscale. Primary is spacious, but you might consider sleep masks as the beautiful skylights brighten the room by 5:00am. All beds / bedding / linens were terrific and very comfortable. The charming, private backyard offers both sun and shade during the day. It was 75-90 degrees during our mid-June stay and the home was plenty cool (no AC). Truly a gem in every way. Can't wait to come back - terrific experience.

old world charm with all the modern conveniences. Smooth communications with Paradise Properties and a mellow, welcoming feeling thru out the home and grounds. There was more than enough space for the eight of us to be completely comfortable. Wonderfull 3 day experience for my 70th.

Comfortable and spacious home to visit with our friends and family during a busy weekend. Used hot tub and outdoor seating areas. Beds very comfy. Was worried about no AC but house is naturally cool. Beautiful home.

Great, Quiet Place

The house is very nice and the 4 bedrooms are spacious. Neighborhood is very peaceful and was quiet at night. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. While the location is great, just know the beach access from the house is limited and not much is within walking distance. This wasn't a problem for us, but just know you will need to drive to take that evening stroll along the beach.
