When it comes to location, Secret Jungle ticks all the boxes. This renovated ranch enjoys total peace and quiet in the tranquil setting of the Mission Canyon while being less than a fifteen-minute drive from Santa Barbara's vibrant restaurant and bar scene. The beach is also less than a twenty-minute drive away. Back at the home, guests can spend their time basking in the sunshine on the terrace, getting cosy in front of the fire, enjoying wonderful meals alfresco or hiking in the impressive canyon. At night, we recommend you sit out and delight in the bright stars as they light up the sky.
