Tiny Cottage in the Oaks, Midtown Santa Barbara
Enjoy the natural beauty of Santa Barbara minutes from beaches, attractions and wining/dining. The tiny Cottage offers a peaceful, cozy and private getaway with a lovely mountain view deck shaded by beautiful oaks. At 160 square feet, the little cottage is simply appointed with a "cabin" feel.

Sandpiper Trails: a coastal preserve experience.
Sandpiper Trails is a private studio in our house with a private entrance, private side yard, and private bath. This tract home neighborhood is a half block to hiking trails on an ocean bluff preserve. Monarch butterflies winter here while herons, egrets, and hawks, share ocean and mountain views with you. Beyond the waves dolphins and migrating grey whales surface with a Channel Islands backdrop. Sandpiper golf course, Bacara Resort, and UCSB are close by. It's about a 15 min. drive to SB.
