Goleta Getaway by AvantStay | Private Backyard, 1.5mi to the Beach!

Greetings from Goleta Getaway! This charming and updated home is the perfect private escape, with a prime location and a backyard oasis for quintessential outdoor living.

The inviting interior welcomes you with a contemporary, coastal-inspired design throughout the living area. Whip up your favorite home-cooked meals in the fully equipped kitchen, featuring sleek countertops and all the appliances you need. Grab a barstool seat at the kitchen counter for a quick meal and casual conversation, or gather around the dining table with seating for six.

Four bedrooms each offer their own sanctuary. The primary bedroom boasts a king bed, fireplace, two private ensuite bathrooms (one with a sink, toilet, and shower/tub and the other with a sink, closet, toilet shower, and washer/dryer), and French doors that lead to a private backyard patio. Bedrooms 2 and 3 each offer a queen bed, with a private ensuite attached to Bedroom 2. The fourth bedroom features two twin beds. One additional full bathroom ensures plenty of privacy for all guests.

The real heart of the home lies outside in the private and peaceful backyard, where you’ll find a lawn and two patios with seating. Spend your days relaxing amongst the serene garden scene. As the sun begins to set, grab a chair and a glass of wine. The covered outdoor dining table has room for everyone!

Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac, Goleta Getaway offers a peaceful retreat while still being close to all that Santa Barbara has to offer. Head to the beach less than 1.5 miles away, or tee off at the oceanfront Sandpiper Golf Course less than a mile away. Find dining, shopping, and entertainment options along Hollister Avenue or downtown Santa Barbara. Walk just 100 feet to a beautiful park with a ballfield and mountain views, or take a short drive to popular attractions like the Old Mission or Santa Barbara Zoo.

Your dream California escape awaits at Goleta Getaway!

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!

Known as the "American Riviera," Santa Barbara offers a stunning blend of Mediterranean charm and California cool. Stroll through the vibrant streets of downtown, lined with Spanish-style architecture, boutique shops, and upscale restaurants. From its ocean attractions to breathtaking mountain landscapes, outdoor enthusiasts can hike, surf, or sail all in one day. Don’t miss a visit to the historic Santa Barbara Mission or an afternoon spent wine tasting in the nearby Santa Ynez Valley. Whether you're relaxing on the palm-lined beaches or exploring cultural gems, Santa Barbara is the epitome of coastal elegance.

Home Truths:
- Unfortunately, pets are not allowed in this home. If undisclosed pets are brought into the home without AvantStay's approval, there is a fine of $500 per pet.
- Please note that this home does not have air conditioning.
- Please note, the home has 4 bathrooms, but two of them are private ensuites to the primary bedroom (one with a sink, toilet and shower/tub and the other with a sink, closet, toilet shower and washer/dryer).
- Please note that natural oil seeps off the coast of Goleta occasionally result in black tar deposits along local beaches. These occurrences are common in the region and are a natural phenomenon unrelated to spills or other events. While efforts are often made to keep the beaches clean, visitors may encounter tar on the sand or in the water. We recommend bringing a small bottle of baby oil or another gentle cleaning solution to help remove any tar from skin or feet after a day at the beach and be mindful not to track black tar into the home.

Parking Details:
- 2 parking spaces available.

This home comes with a pack n' play travel crib and high chair available.

Nicely decorated home with 4 bedrooms and beautiful private yard
The house is nicely decorated and with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms it is spacious for up to 8 people. It is a cul de sac in a nice neighborhood close to the beach. The back yard is beautiful and private, with plenty of seating. Overall a very nice place!

Good stay
The house was very stocked, high chair, kids chairs etc. Kitchen stocked well. Really the only issue we had was the AC did not work very well, in the summer this would have been a major issue and the review would have been a 1 star. The response I received from Vecassa was not very encouraging, basically AC is not included in your agreement. Luckily it was October and it was not that hot, they did have fans and we had to sleep with them a few nights. I would stay here again but if in summer make sure AC is working correctly.

Mini-reunion
We were able to get together as a family, since our kids are spread out across the country. The house made it very easy to hang out at will instead of trying to meet in a hotel room or a restaurant. More than enough space in a quiet neighborhood convenient to getting around.

Perfect for us!
This house has everything you could need. Plenty of indoor and outdoor room to hang out, a good kitchen stocked with everything we needed, and a nice yard. We had 3 adults, a baby and a dog and would definitely stay here again! The neighborhood was nice to walk around and it’s an easy drive to anything you might need.

Casual Goleta
Quiet residential area made for a great space to gather friends from undergrad for a relaxing weekend in Santa Barbara. Front door is a bit awkward but otherwise a great space. Smaller than anticipated but still offered plenty of sleeping and seating space.

Goleta Getaway
Overall, the house was clean and met our needs for a family weekend. We rented this house because it had 4 bathrooms. It should be more clearly stated that two of those bathrooms are in the master. It was an interesting layout. But, it worked for us. Also, the kitchen could be a little better stocked with spices, oils, etc. Otherwise, it was a nice house that suited our needs.

Great, spacious place for a family with little ones.
This is a great rental for families. The entire place was well kept and clean. We didn't use the kitchen to cook but it seemed to have everything you might need. One thing to note is that there is no A/C, which I missed in the property description and may have passed on renting because of it, but they provide plenty of fans so you can cool down the house in the evenings. Location for us was great, and it's in a quiet neighborhood.

Birthday visit
We loved the house. Plenty of room for all of us! Well equipped kitchen! Spent outside of time eating and playing cards at the outside table. Coming from Texas we enjoyed the much cooler weather. 75-80 instead of the 100 plus back at home! Only issue cell service wasn't great but that wouldn't be their fault!

Family graduation trip
This property was perfectly located near my sisters house in Goleta. While the property had some wear and tear (stains and tear on kitchen floor and bathroom flooring) it was clean, beds were comfortable, backyard was private and nice, plenty of space for eating and hanging out! I do think the extra fees on this property are quite misleading. Both VRBO and Vacasa charge over $300 each in booking fees, plus cleaning, a parking fee (?) even though the house has a driveway to park in, as well as other unexplained fees aside from taxes. Overall, I would stay in this property again due to the convenient location near family. However, I will be more attentive in comparing the extra fees associated with renting this property versus others.

Clean, Cozy, and Comfortable
This very nice and clean property with close proximity to Santa Barbara allows us to enjoy a long weekend with friends after being away from each other for 2 years through the pandemic. Quiet neighborhood. The check in/out process as communicated via email and text was efficient and convenience. Overall, a great stay. Only quirky thing is 2 bathrooms that can only be accessed via Master Bedroom.

A lovely place for a family gathering
We had a great time getting together for a family members’s wedding. Everything in the space was clean and perfect. Well stocked utensils and appliances in the kitchen and spacious enough for us to all feel comfortable and not cramped. Back patio was a beautiful place for gathering over a meal. We only had one small issue of the hot water not working in the master suite, but once I contacted them about it, it was resolved within the hour! I was impressed with their timeliness and communication. No complaints here, we had a great stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was well maintained and in a wonderful location. It served us well with the many bedrooms and bathrooms and comfortable living room space for gathering. We even made good use the patio and outdoor grilling and dining available. Negatives for the property were the water pressure which was low and inconsistent and not having a sheltered carport available. All in all a very good stay.

Lovely house, just a couple blocks from the beach.
We had a great stay at this very comfortable rental house with full amenities (kitchen, laundry, etc). The online description and pictures are very accurate. We had all meals on the outdoor patio as we had hoped. (it is the only large family table, although you'll find a counter with stools and a smaller table in the kitchen area.) The neighborhood is very quiet and the house is located at the end of a dead end street. The first beach is at no more than 5min drive. Santa Barbara downtown is a 20-25min drive.
