Santa Barbara Vacation Rentals Welcomes Film Festival
By Revealing Famous Filming Locations

In addition to being the choice backdrop for many popular movies and TV shows, Santa Barbara also attracts attendees from around the world every year as it hosts the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

SANTA BARBARA, CA – The 26th Santa Barbara International Film Festival, which takes place from January 27 to February 6, will bring movie buffs and celebrities to experience a variety of premieres and panels - as well as all that Santa Barbara has to offer.

"The Film Festival is a great time to take advantage of vacation rentals in Santa Barbara that offer great value and flexibility to better fit various travel lifestyles, needs and budgets," said Graham Farrar, co-owner of Santa Barbara Luxury Rentals, a company that provides a variety of high-end Santa Barbara vacation rentals. "What many people are realizing is that for less than the cost of a hotel room, they can rent a whole Santa Barbara vacation home while enjoying exceptional amenities during their stay."

"Santa Barbara is a wonderful winter getaway and we look forward to returning in the future," said Diane W, who recently spent a week in a vacation rental located in downtown Santa Barbara. "It was fun to be here during the film festival - a great event."

Farrar adds that Santa Barbara vacation rental guests are often curious about film locations, so he has put together a visitor’s guide to famous filming locations in and around the Santa Barbara area. From popular films like Sideways to It’s Complicated, there are a lot of Santa Barbara locations that crop up in popular movies and TV shows. Last June, the cast and crew of a new film called No Strings Attached set up shop at All Saints-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church and The Biltmore Four Seasons Resort. Billed as a romantic comedy, the film stars Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher and is scheduled for release on January 21, 2011.
