About this property

Family Friendly Villa - Close Walk to Downtown and Beach

Welcome to our beautiful Villa, the very essence of Andalusian Spain and Santa Barbara. Imagine stepping into the light filled great room, with its polished Spanish tile floors and white washed stone surfaces. Banks of windows in each room overlook the private courtyard, lawn and rose garden. With the windows open (or standing out on one of your 4 decks) you can hear the wonderful bubbling of the grand fountain, day and night.

This luxurious villa has over 2,000 sq ft of living space with 3 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths with a Queen sized bed in both the Master Suite and the second bedroom, with over-sized bunk bed in the third bedroom. The master bath has a large walk-in shower and an extra deep Jacuzzi tub. There are four levels in the Villa. All bedrooms are on a second level of the house while kitchen and living room are on a third one. All floors are accessible by elevator besides roof deck.

There are three fireplaces, flat screen television, surround sound and internet access. All linens, towels, furniture and artwork are of the highest quality. Villa Malaga is located well off-street and is surrounded by lush landscaping and greenery that obscure other buildings, providing a special sense of privacy and security.

The roof deck, with sweeping views of the American Riviera and glistening Pacific Ocean, provides that extra outdoor living space for fresh-air dining or just relaxing and enjoying the sun and sea breezes. There is an outdoor fireplace on this deck inlaid with a hand painted Spanish mural, a separate fountain and 360 degree views of all that Santa Barbara has to offer.

Villa is located in Cinque Terre, a stunning building just two blocks from the beach and four blocks from Stearn’s Wharf in the heart of the Water Front District. It is completely gated and has a private garage with a dumb waiter that will whisk your provisions to both the sleeping and living levels.

The gourmet kitchen is fully stocked, featuring custom cabinets, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, 6-burner commercial grade Viking range and an over-sized GE convection/microwave.

Family vacation
This house was perfect for our 5-person family getaway! In addition to being beautiful, very clean, and well stocked, it was in a perfectly central location to everything we needed. We could walk to the beach, restaurants, adorable local coffee shops, shopping areas, markets. We only wish we could have stayed longer to explore even more of the amazing area, but hopefully we can come back sometime. And when we do, we would love to stay here again. The host was very responsive and gracious to our needs. I highly recommend this property - you won’t regret it!

Beautiful house, we would stay again!
The house, location, and experience with our host were all excellent. It had everything we needed - plenty of sleeping space, kitchen was fully equipped, parking space, self-entry using keypad, and wonderful hangout spaces inside and in particular on the roof. It was a perfect walking distance to our activities. We’d absolutely stay here again!

Santa Barbara Villa - beautiful but no A/C
This property is in a great location and is very eye appealing. One big drawback upon entering this wonderful property is *THERE IS NO A/C*. The owners/property managers do in fact provide plenty of electric fans (which is nice) but we felt that the listing should state that “there is no A/C”. I’m sure if your staying in the cooler months you are still quite comfortable but if you are staying in the Summer you may be disappointed. Overall it is a great and beautiful property with great amenities but with the temperatures being what they tend to be in the summer I feel A/C is no longer a “extra” it is a necessity. If we had realized there was no air conditioning we would have opted for another property. I urge the owners/property managers to please add this to their description so that no one else (staying during the hot months) feel mislead.

Convenient Beach Property
We stayed here for a few days with family in town from the east coast. The property was spacious and clean. We were a couple of blocks from the beach and walking distance to State street. Great location for anyone looking to visit the beach.

Wonderful property
This is a great property in an ideal location. It's close to everything but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. The bedrooms were spacious and well situated. Our family of four had plenty of room. Everyone was clean and relatively well-kept. The only issues were with a few of the windows and screens (some of the screens were torn and one of the windows wouldn't open and close properly) and with the oven (the knob was broken). The upstairs patio could use a little TLC, mostly cleaning. But otherwise, we had nothing to complain about. We definitely would stay here again.
