Full of personalised little touches and less than ten minutes from downtown Santa Barbara, this modern coastal cottage is an Instagrammer's dream. From the outside, it takes inspiration from industrial-style shipping containers, while inside the home's muted palette and minimalist design induces a peaceful serenity. A couple or solo traveller will find it delivers a faultless experience – from the brand-new, bespoke kitchen to an always-perfect temperature, thanks to the air conditioning. Although when the weather is mild, we recommend opening the French doors and allowing indoor and outdoor spaces to become one. Sit out on your private yard, sip your morning coffee and plan the day ahead. Hop on one of the beach cruisers and feel your feet in the sand in just a few minutes, then head to Coast Village Road for the best restaurants and a spot of shopping.

Built in 1972 and now looked after by your lovely hosts, Jenna and Michael,  this woodlands home is a wonderfully minimalist yet cosy cabin tucked into the foothills of Los Padres National Park. Your hosts have lovingly created a space that invites you to relax, recuperate and engage in creative projects for a vacation you won't soon forget. They've even gathered a series of recipes from professional chefs, developed specifically for the cabin. Filled with original works of art and surrounded by mountains, this lodge is a haven for those that need to get away from the everyday hustle and bustle. Once you book, your hosts will put you in touch with a personal concierge who can take care of everything. Get cosy and comfortable in front of the fire, enjoy lavish dinners under the vaulted ceiling, go for long walks in nature (the Pine Mountain hiking trails are five minutes away) and be sure to sit out at night and gaze up at the stars.

Dew Drop combines relaxed West Coast living with the best of Cape Cod's design, for a beach-front home that is sure to put its guests at ease. Its position between Santa Barbara and Malibu means that it’s a little bit quieter than your standard California beach retreat, but the centre of Oxnard is still easy to reach. The gentle, nautical colour scheme perfectly matches the home's impressive views and provides a comfortable and homely space in a serene setting. Whether you want to make yourself at home in the living room and snuggle up with a great book or spend your time exploring the beach and its surroundings (Alfred provides beach chairs and body boards), Dew Drop has something for everyone.

Forest cabins generally have an old-world feel to them but not this modern beauty. Built out on stilts at the top of a hill and set over three floors – each with a deck to make the most of the views – this home looks out across the woods to the mountains. Set on the edge of the Pine Mountain Club community, shared local facilities include an outdoor pool, golf course and tennis courts. Inside the cabin, there's a distinct Skandi look, with white walls, plenty of natural wood and occasional bright pops of colour. A log burner up on a brick-built hearth is the centrepiece of the double-height living space, while large picture windows and sliding doors make sure you see your surroundings from every seat in the house. There's a modern kitchen and an office area if you have to get some work done while you're away, and a children's playroom – making it perfect for families. Choose a spot to sit outside with a cool beer, or head up to the barbecue deck to use the grill. And after a long hike on the trails, steam away your aches and pains in the home's sauna.

Sun Umbrellas

Dreaming of sunny California? This luxury beach house captures the best that the Golden State has to offer. Roll out of bed and onto the beach to surf amongst tousel-haired locals. If you can’t catch a wave, you’ll be sure to see someone else do it from the living room’s ocean-facing windows. The sea is never far away, with stunning vistas to be found from the dining room to the spacious master bedroom. The interior is modern and minimal, mixing seaside chic with contemporary design. We especially love the sofas made from reclaimed wood; cosy up beside the gas fireplace and catch a movie on the 60” flat-screen TV. There’s even more fun to be had outside. Top up your Californian tan on the sundeck and then cool off in the private pool. In the evening, fry up a feast with the family on the BBQ and crack open a beer beside the firepit.

With sweeping ocean views and easy beach access, it’s not hard to see why this Santa Barbara home caught our eye. We love the open-plan living and kitchen area, making the most of the vistas while providing plenty of space for socialising. And, with a games room, hot tub, sun-kissed garden and alfresco dining opportunities, you’ll never be lost for things to do. When you’re ready to explore, hop on the bikes for a two-wheeled sightseeing tour. Beach calling your name? Sandy shores await just down the street via a set of steps, or you can jump in the car and make the short one-minute drive to Leadbetter beach.
