Santa Barbara County Homes for Five People

Quiet Days in Malibu

• 6 guests

• 3 bedrooms

Ventura County, California

Joan Didion once wrote of Malibu, stating that its very name is a ‘kind of shorthand for easy living’. While much has changed since the days Didion lived in a beach house nearby, this basic truth remains – and this beautiful and secluded home with access to a private beach is the perfect place to experience the ‘easy living’ for yourself.

The Desert Sojourn

• 6 guests

• 3 bedrooms

The Mesa, Palm Springs

Tucked against the San Jacinto Mountains, this villa is all about slowing down and soaking up the Palm Springs lifestyle. Days drift easily between swims under the waterfall pool, cocktails at the outdoor bar, and starry nights around the firepit.

Shadows & Tall Trees

Idyllwild-Pine Cove, California

There's something about a treehouse that chimes with our inner child. But if you're after the joy they inspire, but too grown-up for rickety planks of wood and hoisting yourself up with rope, then we think this treehouse-meets-Alpine chalet in the Californian mountains is just the ticket.
