Our Story

About Us

“Raising our family in Santa Barbara has been a dream come true. After growing up together in the small town of Hidden Hills, California in the 1970s—where we literally spent our childhoods on horseback—we knew we wanted that same small-town charm, community feel, and coastal beauty for our kids. Santa Barbara was the perfect place to call home.”

Kurt began his creative journey at the renowned Brooks Institute right here in Santa Barbara, which eventually led him to a successful film career in Hollywood. In the early 1990s, he returned to Santa Barbara to launch a film and motocross production company, bringing his entrepreneurial spirit and visual storytelling to life in our local community.

Tiffany, a graduate of Pepperdine University’s Graduate School of Education, started her professional path as an elementary school teacher before transitioning into real estate. She has been deeply involved in property management for decades, well before earning her real estate license. In 2015, Tiffany became a licensed California Real Estate Broker and unified their growing portfolio of rental homes under the brand Haller Coastal Homes. After nearly two decades with top brokerages like Coldwell Banker, Village Properties, and Compass, she stepped away from traditional real estate in 2022 to focus exclusively on vacation rental management in Santa Barbara. Today, she continues to work closely with local Realtors to help clients identify top agents for investment property purchases.

Together, Kurt and Tiffany have two adult children who surf, golf, and love the Santa Barbara lifestyle as much as they do. They’re also proud pet parents to Bogey, the official Puggle mascot of Haller Coastal Homes—who may or may not think he runs the company!

As a local, family-owned business, we are proud to bring personal care, expert service, and heartfelt hospitality to vacation rental owners and guests across Santa Barbara and Montecito.

Property Owners

Family-Owned, Locally Operated, Proudly Santa Barbara

At Haller Coastal Homes, we believe the best vacation rental experiences come from deep roots in the community, a personal touch, and genuine care. We’re not a corporate chain or a distant property manager working from another state—we're a Santa Barbara-based, family-owned company that treats every home we manage like one of our own.

Unlike larger companies managing 75–100+ properties with out-of-town staff and call centers, our boutique approach allows us to stay closely connected with every owner and guest. We are on the ground, in the neighborhoods and available 24/7—because vacation rental property management in Santa Barbara requires local knowledge, fast response, and personal commitment.

Schedule With Us

“We do more, because we care more.”
At Haller Coastal Homes, we aren’t just another vacation rental management company—we’re a family-run, Santa Barbara-based team. We have a heart for hospitality and a drive for excellence. As vacation rental property owners ourselves, so we know firsthand the kind of service you expect. That’s why we treat every home as if it were our own and every guest like part of our extended family.

“It’s not about managing more homes. It’s about managing the right ones—exceptionally well.”
We intentionally manage a limited number of hand-selected vacation rentals to give each property the focus, technology, and support it deserves. We’re on the ground in Santa Barbara, not in a call center across the country. And we don’t believe in cookie-cutter service—your home is one of a kind, and we manage it that way.

“We blend heart and high-tech.”
Our boutique team is backed by a powerhouse of the industry’s best technology—dynamic pricing tools, guest & owner apps, smart locks, automated workflows, and real-time dashboards. But we never let tech replace human touch. You’ll still get real people answering the phone and showing up at your property when it matters most.

More Than Management—A Real Partnership
As a trusted Santa Barbara vacation rental management company, we’ve spoken at industry conferences nationwide on topics like “Limited Edition Vacation Rental Management” and “Building the Best Tech Stack.” But what truly sets us apart is how we treat your home—with the same pride and protection we give our own. When you partner with Haller Coastal Homes, you are getting more than a manager—you are gaining a passionate team that is deeply invested in your property, your revenue goals, and your peace of mind. We hope you will join our vacation rental family!

Let’s build something great together!
