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.

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

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.

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.

Very comfortable and welcoming.
-Lighting poor over dining room table - replace 2700K (yellow) bulbs with 5000K (bright white) led 100W eq. -Master Suite suggestions: 1) Move the TV to wall over fireplace. 2) Move desk from closet to present TV location. This would be handy for working on a laptop. Provide another chair for the desk. 3) Move present TV stand into closet for suitcases. The desk in there was too wide. 4) Did not understand the locked closet in the Master. The hallway closet should be enough for the cleaners. 5) Needed more hangers in the closet. -Loved the dining room table with six chairs. Most VRBO's have a small table with four chairs. Major influence in picking this property. -Loved the patio table with the bench and four chairs. We were able to use these chairs at the dining room table when we had more people for dinner. -Very good kitchen. Comfortable with multiple people cooking. -Great TV in Living Room but should provide at least one subscription service. Maybe there is, but it seemed that it needed an Amazon Prime code to do anything.

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.

Spacious, uncluttered rental property
The house was spacious and uncluttered and generally clean. the yard was lovely. We checked in Tuesday and I called Wednesday to report problems with the thermostat. Although I reached an agent and received a call from another agent, the problem was not resolved during the stay. There was a complaint by a previous renter about the moldy washer gasket; that was unresolved for our visit. Moreover, the washtub clean had not been run. We resolved both issues ourselves--an unpleasant nuisance. The open shower had a broken shower head holder. In addition, it was impossible to keep the shower from sending water under the washer and as far away as the toilet, even when directing the shower to the back wall and standing as close as possible to the wall. The microwave didn't have sufficient power, the front left range burner did not fully heat, the oven did not fully heat, and the coffeemaker was filthy with built-up coffee residue.

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!

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.
