Have you heard about El Zapato? It’s an award-winning architectural gem designed by Jeff Shelton that looks like a shoe, a whimsical twist on Gaudi and Dr. Seuss.

The best part? The amazing views are unparalleled and it’s within walking distance of all the best attractions in Santa Barbara!

This stunning multi-level property is the perfect place to stay on your next vacation! You can even rent the whole house for special events or reunions.

On the first/ground level are two Courtyard Lobster Studio Bedrooms. These rooms feature a large ADA bath and face a quiet private courtyard for your use. It’s a safe and tranquil private sanctuary inside the gated courtyard, perfect for a peaceful night’s sleep.

On the second floor is the Green Cabana, a one-bedroom apartment with a queen bedroom, bath, gourmet kitchen, and an outside deck. Even better? The private deck on the second floor above the arch opens into the living room of the apartment!

Finally, on the top floor is the Turquoise Penthouse, complete with a master bedroom, 2.5 baths, and a panoramic rooftop deck with incredible views. Plus, there’s a soaking tub in the master suite, huge living and dining room, and gourmet kitchen. Everything you need for a luxurious stay.
