Buellton is a charming, walkable town in the Santa Ynez Valley—ideal for multi‑week contracts with tasting rooms and wine country close by, solid local restaurants, nearby hiking and easy beach access for weekends, giving a relaxed coastal‑meets‑country vibe about 10 miles from the Pacific.
For weekend variety, larger hubs are close: Santa Maria (the regional shopping/medical/food center) is roughly a 30–35 minute drive, and Santa Barbara—with beaches, museums and nightlife—is about a 40–50 minute drive, so you won’t feel stuck while still enjoying small‑town downtime.
