The epitome of contemporary living, this award-winning 3BR/3BA Santa Barbara estate, featured in DWELL magazine, commands an epic hilltop location at the foot of the Santa Ynez Mountains. The home is affectionately nicknamed Above it All, which perfectly sums up the setting - tumbling hillsides and the Pacific Ocean lay sprawled below this incredible retreat. You'll instantly realize why this home has been featured in designer home publications. High-end finishes feature throughout, and sigh-inducing views await from the private pool, hot tub, bedrooms, and living space. *This rental is not appropriate for children under the age of 10.*

LIVING AREAS: Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open up to mountain and ocean panoramas on each side of the living area. Kick back in an inviting sitting area with comfy furnishings and an indoor-outdoor gas fireplace.

KITCHEN and DINING: The open-concept kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a full suite of integrated appliances. A kitchen bar seats three - the perfect spot for morning coffee from the Miele espresso machine. Enjoy meals at the beautifully carved wooden dining table, seating 10.

BEDROOMS & BATHS: This house sleeps up to six guests between three immaculately appointed bedrooms, each with breathtaking views. The master bedroom offers a California king bed, 43'' wall-mounted TV, gas fireplace, and patio access. An en-suite bathroom has a double vanity, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. The second bedroom boasts a California king bed, 43'' wall-mounted TV, gas fireplace, and a private patio. An en-suite bathroom (also accessed via the hallway) features a walk-in shower. The third bedroom has a queen bed, a twin futon, and a 65'' wall-mounted TV. An en-suite bathroom features a walk-in shower and can also be accessed via the hallway.

EXTRA PERKS: Complimentary Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, cable TV, a washer/dryer, and driveway parking for three vehicles are provided. The pool can be heated for an additional daily fee. The home's air-conditioning is comprised of separate ceiling units. Opening the sliding doors and letting in a breeze works with these units to keep the home cool. This rental also requires that guests be advised of the applicable ordinances, rules, and regulations regarding their stay. You will be contacted by a representative (who will meet you at your rental) within the first 24 hours of your stay to sign and acknowledge your agreement of these policies.

OUTDOOR AREAS: Take in spectacular vistas of the mountains and the Pacific Ocean from the pool area. Kick back on the outdoor furniture, or make use of the gas grill and dine alfresco by the fireplace. A fire pit offers a cozy spot for conversation under the stars. A private hot tub perched on the property's edge offers more magnificent views. If you need anything before, during, or after your stay, our 24/7 local team is ready to help!

Come enjoy the many local attractions and dining options in Santa Barbara; take a day trip to the wine country, or set sail in the calming channel waters. We would love to share this wonderful home with you and help you plan your Santa Barbara Vacation!

Majestic Views and Relaxing Luxury – A Perfect Stay!

by Sharon

The architecture and the views were both majestic and related. The sunrise from the bedroom and sunset from the pool deck added significant ambience to our family trip. The Zen Gardens and the hot tub made for a relaxing vibe enjoyed by all. The full kitchen is perfect for stay at home meals. There is no reason to leave this beautiful home. We only ended up going out one night. It was worth every penny.!!

Luxurious Stay with Stunning Views and Top-Notch Amenities!

by Austin

Everything about this property is stunning. The double master bedrooms is perfect for two couples traveling together. The entire home was appointed with top of the line appliances and fixtures. We had everything we needed for a two day stay while staying in SB. The views make you feel like you’re far away but it’s only a 15 min drive into town. The team was quick to communicate and easy to work with.

Breathtaking Views and Serene Comfort—A Perfect Retreat!

by Diane

Once u check in you won’t want to go anywhere else and leave this beautiful property! Drop dead views, quiet serenity, beautifully appointed, quality simplicity. Well stocked kitchen - spices, oils, and dishes and cookware. We were 6 adults which is was comfortable but likely max in our opinion. Two gorgeous en-suite master bedrooms, views, large bathrooms and closets. The third room - an office/bedroom - is smaller, with modest closet space and bathroom (also accessible from hallway).

Airbnb Review

by Travis
The rare place that the photos do not do justice, particularly the views. A true indoor / outdoor experience in the common areas with comfortable beds to sleep in. If you're considering a couple of rooms at the Belmond but the privacy of a home appeals to you and you like ultra-mod, you'd be every bit as happy here.

Airbnb Review

by Gabriel
The pictures can't really do this house justice - it's absolutely beautiful, impeccably designed, with stunning views (especially the sunsets) that are truly remarkable. Close to hiking trails, the Botanical Gardens, and a quick drive to anything and everything else you could want to do in Santa Barbara, we would definitely return again. Should you decide to book the house, be sure to read the welcome instructions front-to-back when you arrive to get a sense of how everything works; it will make your stay that much more enjoyable. A highly recommended experience for those who are looking for a quiet and relaxing private escape.

Blissed out in Santa Barbara

by Albert
We spent a week at Above It All in May 2022 on a return visit; we had previously stayed there in July 2017. The price has gone up, but we loved it all over again. Let Harry and Meghan have their chateau in Montecito… what WE want is the incredible view that THIS house has, and its modern design that opens up to merge the indoors and the outdoors. Architecturally elegant in its clean, rectilinear lines and consistent finishes, this house is a private aerie — quiet, soothing, and restful — a thousand feet up on a ridgetop west of Mission Canyon. It's hard to decide which is better: the views of Santa Barbara, the views of the Channel Islands, or the views of the dramatic crest of the Santa Ynez Mountains. We cooked all of our meals in the well-equipped kitchen. We paid to have the pool heated, and the temperature was what we expected. It takes only five or ten minutes to drive down to town to shop. For exercise, the scenic and nearby Tunnel Trail is perfect. This is a house that is hard to leave!
