• UCSB Community Housing Office

The University has a Community Housing Office (CHO) that deals with housing opportunities in the community. Although primarily organized for students, they do maintain a list of housing available for visiting faculty (separate from their lists of student housing). The CHO does not look at the listings; they do not frequently update their list, and they do not make arrangements for visitors. Use the name of the KITP staffperson who is assisting you as your 'campus contact' to get a password for the faculty/staff listings. The CHO email address is: cho at housing dot ucsb dot edu

 

Ben Brode offers a nice studio apartment in Mission Canyon (behind downtown Santa Barbara) at a reasonable rate.

Some of the home exchange services include a few rental units, such as Global Home Exchange.

Hotels with kitchenettes

Hotels that accept pets

• Rental location agents

  Tired of looking yourself?  These agencies will search for lodging for your dates with your specified requirements. (They get a commission from the renter, so there are no direct charges to you.)
