About Chosen

A New Standard for Vacation Rentals

Chosen is the curated alternative to volume-driven vacation rental management. Every property in our collection has earned its place through careful selection, and every guest experience is designed with intention that goes beyond industry standards. 

We built Chosen around a conviction that wellness belongs at the center of hospitality, not the margins. Private saunas, cold plunges, curated local partnerships, and restorative amenities are built into the stay because that is what a vacation rental in Santa Barbara should deliver.

The Chosen Collection has grown from eight properties to 28 in a single year, and that growth reflects results, not promises. The collection currently includes vacation rentals in Summerland and surrounding communities, with continued expansion into Hope Ranch, Montecito, and other premier California markets.

Our Vision

To become the nation's first luxury vacation rental collection, setting the standard for intentional hospitality where wellness is the difference. Chosen is expanding beyond Santa Barbara into select national markets, bringing curated management to homeowners and guests who refuse to settle.

Why Chosen

Discover the Chosen Difference

Chosen exists for homeowners who expect their property to be treated as exceptional, and guests who refuse to compromise. Where other vacation rental companies prioritize volume, Chosen delivers consistency through meticulous curation and uncompromising management. Every home, hand-selected. Every stay, extraordinary.

The difference comes down to three principles: professional management you can rely on, precision marketing and distribution across the platforms that matter, and wellness amenities that set every Chosen property apart.

What Our Homeowners Are Saying

"The team at Chosen has been nothing but professional and courteous. Their attention to detail is exceptional and I feel well supported as a host."

Jennifer Housh

"Our old management felt impersonal and overly commercial. Since Chosen took over, everything runs smoothly and effectively. Their team delivers excellent communication and professional management."

"We have personally managed our vacation rental for years, but when we decided to retire, we realized we needed assistance. We looked for a property manager whose main focus was to continue to give our guests a 5-star experience. Chosen has expanded our reach on other platforms, and assisted us in updating our listing with great photography. I am extremely happy with our decision to be a part of the Chosen family and would highly recommend them."

Debby Deneault

"After a disappointing experience with our previous management company, we were ready to switch. Since switching [to Chosen], our unit has been a huge success. Guest satisfaction is high, complaints are minimal, and we're finally making money. After over two years of working together, the Chosen team consistently proves to be communicative, trustworthy, and exceptionally professional."
