The Peach Grove Residence
Perks for the Parents
A kid-focused, relaxed home in Santa Barbara, just a few minutes away from beaches and child-friendly museums. It sleeps 7. This house is fully set up for families: there’s space for younger ones and a guest room which works well for teens or grandparents. The kitchen is fully stocked for all cooking needs but there are plenty of cafes and restaurants just a short drive away - ask the host for recommendations. The whole family will love trips downtown to visit the harbors, museums and skate parks along the water and you’ll find miles of beautiful beaches along the coast to explore, including Arroyo Burro and More Messa (both 5-10 minutes’ drive).
Why Kids Love it
The house has heaps of toys, games and books for kids aged 1-10 and the outdoor space is a favorite for little ones. There’s a small play house with sports bats and balls to enjoy, and they can bike or scooter on the concrete patio area (bikes and scooters for ages 3-4 and 5-7). Older kids will also love the hot tub! For parents traveling with babies or toddlers, the host can provide a pack and play crib, booster seat, high chair, and kids plates and utensils. The guest bathroom also has a large deep soaking tub, perfect for bath time.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 3 nights. Safety notes: the home is in a safe, residential area of Santa Barbara and the street is a dead end with minimal traffic. The neighborhood has sidewalks which are perfect for kids to explore. There is space for 2 cars to park in the driveway and additional space on the street. The parking area has a carport to protect from rain. Ask the host about local recommendations for family activities and babysitters.
About the Location
The house is located in a quiet and friendly neighborhood of Santa Barbara, very near to the US101 highway and 5 minutes’ drive from the beach and 10 minutes from downtown Santa Barbara. Excellent kids parks with walking trails and playgrounds are nearby; local parks include Stevens Park, Mackenize Park and Tuckers Grove Park for great playgrounds, just a 5 minute drive away. Grocery stores (Whole Foods and more) and restaurants are 2 minutes away by car (or 5 minutes’ walk). For family days out, it’s just 10 minutes’ drive to Santa Barbara Zoo or the Museum of Natural History, and you can visit Stearns Wharf downtown for more tourist attractions and the city’s Sea Center. Santa Barbara airport is just 10 minutes away or it’s 1.5 hours to LAX.
Accommodation Details
The house has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, all set on one level. You’ll find a cozy living area and contemporary kitchen, with access to the garden, complete with an outdoor dining, grass yard and hot tub. There is a primary kingsize bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, as well as 3 additional bedrooms (1 queensize, 1 kids double room and an office) which share the guest bathroom. The fourth bedroom can also be used as a nursery/kids room with a travel crib or airbed.
Style Notes
Mid-Century Modern. The host has chosen a contemporary style for this recently renovated property, with large picture windows providing tons of light into the home during all times of day. The kitchen and bathrooms are newly modernised with contemporary cabinetry and a deep soaker bathtub. We love the sleek new firepit in the backyard, the bright coral front door and the coastal-inspired artwork.

Santa Barbara, California
Wine country, palm-fringed beaches and family fun
On the central Californian coast, Santa Barbara brings together wine country, sandy beaches and family attractions to create a fantastic family vacation destination. From the palm-fringed beaches to the shark-touching tank at the Museum of Natural History Sea Center, the beach cafés and lush parks, not to mention the small but perfectly formed zoo, Santa Barbara caters for families exceptionally well. Active kids will love sea kayaking, hiking trails in state parks and bike rides along Cabrillo Boulevard. It’s what beach cruisers were made for.
