Location-Location-Location !! Einzigartiges Haus im schönen West Beach

My husband and I have recently finished our fifth winter retreat from the snowy northeast to Santa Barbara, the last four of those at Casa Caprico. While at Casa Capricho, for two months, we pick oranges each afternoon for the next day’s breakfast juice. We often eat lunch on the very private patio, shaded by a convenient umbrella. Almost daily we walk the short two blocks to the city’s beautiful waterfront and enjoy the wide promenade, beach, picturesque wharf, marina, and (for us) warm winter weather.

The house is located within close walking distance of State Street, many restaurants, theaters, shops, and museums. There are numerous public golf clubs nearby. I especially like to take long walks around the very walkable city, admiring the many picturesque neighborhoods, architecture, parks, trees, and plants. If I walk too long and get tired, I take the State Street shuttle to the wharf and walk home from there.

We frequently see people stop on the sidewalk in front of the house to admire its historic Spanish design. It has a driveway, so we don’t have to park on the street, which is a treat.

And each year we book next year’s stay before we leave Santa Barbara.

It was a true treat to stay at this very well kept property in Santa Barbara for our Christmas holiday. The owners care deeply about this property and it shows. The house was thoughtfully appointed with a well-stocked kitchen and a cozy living room. Instructions for the gas fireplace were readily accessible and made for romantic ambiance during our cooler winter evenings. The owners are friendly and are very easy to communicate with. There are beautiful orange trees in the back yard so we made fresh juice every day. Best of all, this house is in a GREAT location for everything. It is a stone's throw away from the beach, Stearn's Wharf, State Street shopping, and the train station. Also, it is minutes (by car) from some fantastic hiking in Montecito. We are avid cyclists and rode our bikes nearly every day, exploring Santa Barbara, Goleta, Ojai, and Ventura. We left straight from the house for all of our rides which made logistics extremely convenient. There are numerous protected bike paths and well-marked cycling lanes in this entire region, along with challenging and spectacular mountain climbing, including San Marcos Road and Gibraltar Road. We could not have enjoyed ourselves more and look forward to returning in the future. Our only comment for improvement would be that the mattress in the rear bedroom was really soft. Other than that, this home is spectacular and we had a fantastic stay. Thank you!

Wonderful cottage in a perfect and beautiful location! Everything was clean and neat and well stocked. The owner was quick to respond to a couple of questions we had upon our arrival and followed up later to make sure all was well. Love, love, love the location --- walking distance to the beach and state street and waterfront. Definitely will stay again!

We would highly recommend this property situated in a quiet neighbourhood, despite its central location being a only a few minutes walk away from State Street, the funk zone, shops and restaurants and the beach. The property is well maintained with comfortable good quality furnishings, and very clean. Beds comfortable giving us a good night's sleep-we never heard any outside noise day or night. The highlight for us was the well tended private enclosed garden with plenty of seating and outdoor dining options. We hope to return next year

In Santa Barbara for a wedding. Lovely little house for our stay. Nice outside area.
