Cabana Home fits exactly what we were looking for. The exclusive boutique by the beloved local company will complement the unique Santa Barbara lifestyle we are offering our guests,” said Laura McIver, El Encanto General Manger.
“We are thrilled to be working with such a local icon like El Encanto,” stated Cabana Home principal Caroline Thompson. “Our goal is to provide guests with a take home reminder of wonderful El Encanto memories until they return to visit the resort. All of our fine gifts and home accessories have been carefully selected from our very own local artisans and favorite resources in Santa Barbara.”
