A beautiful industrial style home on top of the hill.

We booked this house for our son wedding in Goleta, we had family member coming from out of town and county so we wanted a home that we could hold a small family reunion. This house worked great we had 16 in total with ages ranging from 2 to 65 and had room for more. All the beds were so comfortable and the kitchen was gourmet with everything we needed to cook. On our last morning we woke to looking down on Goleta and only seeing clouds. This home truly is heaven on earth the views from inside the house or outside are amazing. Only sorry we couldn’t stay longer.
