Bird watcher's delight indeed!
The hummingbird kept buzzing us at the front door; then we saw her nest in the vines right there. She sat on her eggs for over a week, but then one day was gone and never returned. Probably eaten, unfortunately.
This property is a 2-story townhouse with access out the backyard gate directly onto the trails of UCSB's North Campus Open Space, an amazing wetland bird sanctuary; the master bedroom has a panoramic view. The trails lead down to the beach, though it is 15-25 minutes depending on how much scrambling down the bluffs you want to do (Dune Pond trail is longer but gives easier beach access).
The house is comfortable and full of books, with a fully equipped kitchen that really had just about everything we needed to cook our meals for a month-long visit. There are two full bedrooms plus a small additional room with a single bed & desk. The upstairs bathroom does have a tub as well as a shower. The downstairs is all tile, which is excellent for dogs: easy to clean!
The shopping mall is walking distance away: we particularly recommend Los Agaves for dinner and the Sunday farmer's market right in front of that restaurant. There are also two gyms and a supermarket there, along with many other stores. The UCSB campus can be reached easily by bike: under 20 minutes, almost entirely on off-street bike paths through the open space and then parallel to El Colegio.
The only real problem was that the manager was unresponsive for 2 weeks to minor maintenance issues.
