Aug&Sept 2009! Near Beach, Montecito, Tennis in Santa Barbara

Still available August 21-31; Sept 1-10, 2009. 

Welcome back to Santa Barbara's Golden Age! This "Art Deco" home
unites beach-house fun, Miami Beach style, and historic Hollywood
glamour. It's a mini-tourist attraction in itself.
This remodeled 1930s-era house was built in the beautiful late Deco
architectural style called "Streamline Moderne," referring to the
streamlined form of classic cruise ships and the curving aerodynamics
of planes and cars in the jazz age. This house, reminiscent of homes
in Silverlake, Hollywood, South Miami Beach, and Barcelona, features
art-deco antiques, two romantic working fireplaces, lush tropical
landscaping, and rich hardwood floors.
The property offers a mountain-view roof terrace with its own outdoor
fireplace. Although built in the 30s, the home has been lovingly
modernized and is spotlessly clean and comfortable. Your vacation
will enjoy all modern amenities, including huge flat-screen TVs,
wireless internet, a great sound system, etc.
The Santa Barbara Art Deco House is located on the East Side, a
bohemian neighborhood popular with University of California
professors and local artists; it is the town's most eclectic and
ethnically diverse community. From here you can enjoy Montecito,
Santa Barbara, the Mission and Presidio, area vineyards, State Street
shopping and restaurants, and the area's unique lifestyle and
beaches. You'll explore these attractions from the vantage point of a
truly unique home in a real multicultural community, without
secluding yourself behind the gates and bars of the more exclusive
resorts.
Relax in the spa-jacuzzi bathtub in the black and white ceramic-tiled
bathroom after you enjoy a bike ride through the bird sanctuary, or a
match of beach volleyball, or a hike up through the Riviera and
mountains.
You can play tennis at the courts next-door, and can easily walk to
the shops of Montecito, the ethnic restaurants of Milpas Street, or
the charming zoo or new Ty Warner aquarium. This beautiful, stylish,
comfortable home serves as a perfect base to return to after whale
watching, enjoying live theater at the Arlington, wine tasting in the
vineyards, or dolphin watching at East Beach.
Mosaic stonework reminiscent of the beach boardwalks of Rio de
Janeiro adorn this home's patio and terrace, where you will stand
overlooking the mountain sunsets. This terrace is the spot which the
students at Brooks Institute (one of the world's best photography
schools, located in Santa Barbara) often choose for their photo
shoots. The second-story master bedroom suite features a walk-in
closet, desk with internet, spectacular floor to ceiling curved view
window, flat screen TV, and a fun bathroom with a "couple's shower."
You'll open the French doors of the master suite directly onto the
terrace, which also features an outdoor fireplace.
Outside under the stars, gathered around the fire, overlooking the
hills, palm tree groves, and Montecito club, it's the perfect place
to chat and share a bottle of wine or have a small cocktail party
with old friends, or new ones, on a perfect evening.
