My Story
I am a true Santa Barbara County local and specialize in hotels, vacation rentals and concierge services in town. I'm also experienced in luxury and boutique hotels, trip planning and custom itineraries, food and wine experiences and romance and honeymoon getaways, all over the world. I live for curated experiences, aesthetically pleasing bars and restaurants with top-notch service and white sandy beaches.
Travel Style
Exploring the beautiful cobblestoned streets of San Miguel de Allende and central Mexico, while scoping out the best local restaurants. Spending the day at the spa after eating pizza and drinking vino in a small Italian city. Relaxing by the beach in front of the Rosewood Miramar in Santa Barbara (frozen mojito in hand) – I truly love it all! I enjoy good food, wine, true exploration, relaxation and immersing myself in other cultures.

I recently worked with Taylor to plan my trip, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive and detail-oriented and truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless. Taylor took the time to understand my preferences and tailored the itinerary perfectly. Every hotel, flight, and activity was thoughtfully chosen, making the trip stress-free and enjoyable. She also provided great recommendations for local dining and must-see attractions, which greatly impacted our experience. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, professional travel agent who truly cares about your experience, I highly recommend Taylor! I will be using her services again for future trips

Site Visit: Hotel Del Coronado
This property is extremely family-friendly, almost to the point where I wouldn't necessarily recommend that honeymooners or young couple looking for a "relaxing" or "kid-less" getaway stay here. With that said, there are some areas of the hotel you can stay at that are more private. This would include the Shore House and Beach Village (a bit older, but currently being renovated and an adults-only private pool.)

Luxury Getaway to Santa Barbara, California
From classic coastal luxury to the secluded American Riviera, Santa Barbara not only offers incredible choices of high-end resorts and villas, it also boasts a carefully selected amount of luxury restaurants, bars, boutique shopping and activities. From the exclusive Rosewood and Belmond Hotel Groups to Acme Hospitality and Luxury Yacht charters, this celebrity-infused town is one of the most expensive cities in Central California. With its lush greenery, white-sand beaches and old Spanish and Mediterranean-style architecture throughout, it seems as though the sun is shining year around in this idyllic town.

Luxury Cabo Trip Guide: Exclusive Stays & Top Restaurants
Cabo San Lucas, nestled at the tip of Mexico's Baja Peninsula, offers a special kind of luxury (and not just all-inclusive). Think lounging on pristine beaches with the turquoise Sea of Cortez, world-class resorts that cater to your every need, with impeccable service, luxe spas and gourmet dining featuring fresh, local ingredients. While Cabo's culinary scene also extends far beyond the resorts, some of the top restaurants in the area lie within the gates of the most prestigious hotels in the area. Dive into trendy, oceanfront restaurants or hidden local gems, all boasting the freshest of flavors. From locally caught ceviche and spicy shrimp tacos, to chocolate clams, fresh guacamole and passion fruit margaritas, you’ll find these culinary delights through the Baja peninsula.
While you may think of Cabo as a spring break party destination, many forget that it's also a very exclusive place where breathtaking beauty, indulgent pampering, and amazing restaurants go hand in hand.
