Vista Bella del Mare
Ocean Front Cottage on the Pacific Riviera at Santa Barbara

  
   
 
Escape to the world renowned Pacific Riviera at Santa Barbara, where you'll bask in the year round temperate and smog-free climate, hobnob with resident celebrities, thrill to the abundant wildlife, and enjoy the gastronomic creations of world acclaimed chiefs. Rollick on your own gated, white sand beach, and luxuriate your cares away as the surf gently mummers its sigh of soothing consent. Or kayak along the coastal palisades to the Beachside Cafe where you'll enjoy outstanding fresh sea food and tropical libation. Explore the Santa Barbara mountains where you'll hike the numerous trails and discover sun dappled dells, and the breathtaking overlooks of the Channel Islands National Park to the south and Lake Cachuma sparkling in the Santa Ynez Valley to the north. Then repair to the luxuriance of your cozy home to enjoy quiet solitude or host a social gathering.
With three sweeping patios, the grounds invite guests to roam and congregate in the environment of their choice from the redolent barbecue on the spit of the main patio to the intimate hideaway patio off the library with its sculpture and tinkling fountains. Serve a splendid breakfast from your gourmet kitchen in the Gazebo overlooking the surf to the sound of Sea Lions cavorting on the rocks below. Outdoor entertaining is a year round joy for guests and hosts alike. Inside, your tastefully appointed home beckons you with its profuse amenities.
The swirling patterns of movement in your granite countertops and back-splash signal a creative environment befitting an imaginative chief. The professional 48" Viking stove, with its powerful broiler, burners, griddle, and char-grill empower anyone to produce gastronomic delights. And you can easily invite several your friends to help create their meals on the spacious and well lit work surfaces in a spirit of joyful
collaboration.
 


 Lounge by the fire of your uniquely striking marble-faced fireplace with its fourteen foot seating hearth. Gaze out through the picture windows on the sweeping Pacific panorama as the sailboats and sea birds float by.  There's been a sea change in your lifestyle. 
 
          Indulge in a little drama, news, or sports in the privacy and convenience of your own High Definition satellite home theater including the thundering presence of Dolby surround sound.  Of course, it's equipped with a convenient wet-bar with refrigerator and dumbwaiter.  The natural walnut planked balcony, accessible through French doors from the theater, provides you an unobstructed sea and island view.  On clear nights, the Milky Way riots across the heavens to provide stellar astronomical observation through your computer controlled telescope.
