Dear Visitor

It's so close, so different, so cool! Who knew? Only an hour south of San Diego, a Pacific Peninsula encompassing more than 1600 acres, with magnificent vistas of mostly undeveloped rugged coastline, crashing surf, rolling hills and seemingly endless green golf course fairways: This is Bajamar, home to Santa Barbara at Bajamar.

In Bajamar, homes start at under $200,000. Bajamar bluff-side homes with white-water views range up to $2.7 million. Santa Barbara's luxury condominium units, on the bluff with white-water views, are available at under $400,000. Fractional homes can be purchased for under $90,000.

Wait a minute...just what is fractional ownership?

There are many folks who want to own a luxury vacation home in a dream location, but don't necessary want to bear maintenance costs and the responsibility for upkeep.

They want a place that is perfectly ready when they are. These are the people who choose what has become a popular alternative to time-share ownership – fractional ownership.

Santa Barbara at Bajamar offers the possibility of fractional ownership starting at $89,000. Like some international fractional luxury developments (like the Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis and Fairmont hotels), it features magnificent oceanfront living and has the advantage of being located on a golf course.

Santa Barbara's fractional condos offer the amenities of a luxury home, such as granite kitchen countertops, whirlpool baths, roomy closets and large ocean-view balconies...there's even housekeeping, to go along with the ownership.

The way it works is that owners purchase a deeded share in a residence (usually 1/4 to 1/13) that gives them a certain number of weeks per year at the property.

Santa Barbara at Bajamar's CLUB members own eight weeks or more per year forever!

How does it differ from a 'time-share'? There are clear advantages in purchasing a luxury fractional property, such as Santa Barbara at Bajamar:

You are buying deeded property that is held within a Master Trust, with the same rights as any other real estate purchase.
Unlike most TIME SHARES, Fractional ownership provides much more opportunity for the property to appreciate in value.
You own a longer amount of time at the property than you would with a time-share (each fractional share is eight weeks at Santa Barbara.).
You are buying a high-end, finished product with luxury furnishing and amenities, and access to golf, tennis, ocean-views, a hotel/resort and more.
Most fractional properties have 2-3 bedrooms and an equal number of baths, so there is plenty of room for family, friends or clients. Many owners purchase more than one fraction to gain even more space and privacy — and time/
As an owner at Santa Barbara at Bajamar you may also rent out your unit whenever you decide not to use the time yourself through our exclusive leasing partner Seaside Rentals... a great way to help pay for your investment.

According to one fractional owner, "I know when I get there, it will be like walking into a luxurious home, with that fresh, elegant feeling of a four-star resort. That's when my vacation starts.

My wife and I head to the hotel for a bite to eat, check out the golf course and book a tee-time for the next day, and then go back to the condo to watch the ocean and have a margarita. No fuss, no muss."

Bob and Kathy Chouinard have owned property in Bajamar for more than 20 years. Initially, they commuted for weekends and holidays from their home in Valencia, Southern California. It was to their great delight that, five years ago, they retired and moved to Bajamar full-time. And things were going pretty well until, on July 4th, Kathy took an unexpected trip...
