Learning the ropes of short-term renting has been quite a journey. Last year my phone was buzzing with news about the Airbnb market. Some said the bubble had burst, leaving hosts disappointed. There I was, having just bought a well located home in Santa Barbara by the ocean. With a lifetime of helping others invest in Santa Barbara, it was my turn to invest my heart and savings into renova- tions, hoping for a successful outcome.
It reminded me of playing MONOPOLY as a kid, dream- ing of owning Boardwalk with a hotel. Only this time the stakes were higher, as I aimed to cover the hefty monthly costs with nightly rentals. Risky, yet hopefully doable.
I adore my home on Luneta Plaza. You can hear the waves on the sand at night, and the view of Leadbetter Beach from across the street is breathtaking. If you know anyone in search of a beachside retreat in Santa Barbara, tell them about Luneta Seaside Hideaway, on Airbnb—or have them contact me directly for a 10 percent discount.
Santa Barbara has been a premier destination for over 100 years. Please reach out to me if you are interested in invest- ing in your own beachside retreat.
