About this property

Naples Ranch is a serene and secluded horse ranch on the legendary Gaviota Coast of Santa Barbara, CA. With its lush grounds, and Hawaiian flare, this private, yet luxurious property is behind 2 gates, and has amazing views of the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Barbara Mountains. The house even overlooks a private lake, which has stunning water views all day, and all night long.

The parcel was originally part of the historic Rancho Dos Pueblos, so it is now situated in between 2 large private ranches, with expansive views. We are only 11 miles from the Santa Barbara airport, and from UCSB. Downtown Santa Barbara is only 16 miles away, and The Ritz Carlton Resort (Bacara), and the Sandpiper Golf course, are only 1 exit south. Solvang is a 20 minute drive to the North, along the Pacific coast.

This modern masterpiece home offers the ultimate in comfort, with high quality linens, a gourmet kitchen, and 2 indoor jacuzzis. The open concept floor plan has 2 master suites, with a 3rd bedroom/bathroom that can sleep a total of 6 guests, or 3 couples. Additionally, there is a fold out queen bed that can comfortably sleep another 2 guests if necessary. Our maximum occupancy is 8 guests, including children.

There are large IPE decks and patios surrounding the house, with an outdoor barbecue and natural waterfall to enjoy the surroundings. It is a very romantic setting for newly weds, but also a great spot for families to celebrate their weddings, college graduations, or other special family occasions in style and comfort. The views of the ocean and mountains are breathtaking, and the natural habitat surrounding you, will make you feel like you are in your own private oasis.

Amazing Views

My family enjoyed are stay at this spectacular home. It was located a stones throw to a wedding we were attending. We walked in and all go Wow! Architecturally it's a stunning home with forever views of the undeveloped hills of the California foothills and a big reservoir below. Comfy beds, everyone had their own big bathroom and views. Would stay again!

Pure Heaven!

We were enchanted from the moment we arrived! The views were incredible, and the home was so comfortable and warm. The Christmas trees (a real tree, and a beautiful abalone shell tree) were stunning and made us feel right at home during the holidays. The sunset views from both upstairs and downstairs decks were unbelievable. The tropical trees, flowers, and plants were beautiful - and the citrus trees and blackberry bushes were an added delight. Andrea was wonderful to work with, and we appreciated every single special touch she provided. We will definitely be coming back to this beautiful home.

Pre Wedding family time

This home and the setting it is in is incomparable! Breathtaking views from the ocean to the mountains. Oak trees that surround a lake and beautiful tropical plantings make this home one of a kind! The host was easy to work with and incredibly welcoming. 3 bedroom suites make this a perfect home for three couples celebrating a special occasion. A home we will never forget.

Recent stay at Naples Ranch

My husband, son and I just returned from Naples Ranch in Goleta and we had the most wonderful time. It is an absolutely beautiful property located in the hills with scenic views of the ocean, lake and sprawling hills. The house was designed to provide many levels to relax and entertain. Additionally, the soft scape is lovely and in places a bit tropical. The attention to detail is well above a 5 star rating… The kitchen is well appointed, meticulously clean, there were built in electrical outlets in the bathroom vanity, and even a telescope for star gazing! I have stayed at many rental properties and have never have posted a review before…This time I felt compelled to do so. I want the owners to know how much we enjoyed their place.

Best location

We stayed here while preparing for my daughters wedding. We had her son with us as well. Our friends helped with wedding preparations and stayed with us. It was clean and open and airy. Great views and lots of room for cake decorating and pre wedding primping! The owner was very easy to communicate with and the location was the perfect distance from our venue at Arroyo Quemada beach.

What a wonderful house!

This house is one of the best we have ever stayed at out of 50+ rentals over the years. Everything was exactly as listed, or better. Andrea is accommodating and prompt with any questions we have. The house is also very very well stocked, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

CA wedding

The views at this property are stunning! The foliage and hardscape surrounding the house are impeccable. We have some beautiful pictures. Our son and his bride wanted an adventure for their wedding. This was a perfect place for us to stay. It was central enough for all the outings—winery trips, boating, and mountain hikes. The kitchen is very well equipped for meals in. The outdoor areas are set up to enjoy drinks with a view. It is hard to choose which spot to linger in. Andrea made the process very easy. She even left us abalone shell ornaments as a keepsake for the newlyweds first Christmas. This was the best equipped rental we have ever had and the beds were very comfortable. We highly recommend this property!

Home was perfect. Perhaps don’t read any of the reviews or it will spoil the experience! We had a lot of rain which made staying in this luxury home a wise choice. Kitchen was the best to cook in. Some tech to navigate at the home for Hi-fi, spotty wi-fi but fine for vacation. Would love to return if able!

Everything about this property is lovely, such a nice weekend getaway. So many thoughtful touches (house is well stocked) Great communication with Andrea before the trip, during, and after. This is a place you have to see in person. Sunset was beautiful, stars at night were gorgeous, beautiful fresh flowers and personalized note at check in.

Beautiful place!

My friends came for a bachelorette weekend and had a wonderful time. The Property is gorgeous with views of the mountains and the ocean. It was also very convenient to drive to downtown Santa Barbara and the beach. All of the provided bathroom incidentals were also much appreciated. It was well set up for cooking and large gatherings around the table. My only comment is that all of the bathrooms are very open concept so privacy is at a minimum. But we all had a great time and would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Naples Ranch

We've been married for 26 years, and have three grown children. We hope to eventually retire to Naples and have more time to travel and enjoy the outdoors together.

Why they chose this property

We graduated from University of California at Santa Barbara in the 1980's, and have wanted to retire here ever since. We found the remote ranch property by chance, and fell in love with it immediately. It's beautiful, modern, spacious, and has the most amazing views of the ocean and mountains. We have over 50 species of birds on the property alone and the wildlife is abundant. We're happy to share this natural and beautiful serene setting with other people who also like to be in nature.

What makes this property unique

The property is situated in-between 2 private ranches, so it appears as if you are surrounded by hundreds of acres. The house also overlooks a lake, which makes you feel like you are on a boat, watching the sun glisten across the water every afternoon. There are many outdoor spaces to enjoy the surroundings, including a hiking trail to see the 180 degree ocean view, and a waterfall that trickles through the lush Hawaiian gardens. It is so relaxing that you immediately feel your stress level and blood pressure drop when you arrive.
