Designer Home with Private Beach Access - Sleeps 12 - The Boardwalk Beach House

Welcome to The Boardwalk Beach House! Our completely redesigned home is your dream Santa Barbara getaway – just steps from an exclusive Central Coast beach! Spend blissful days relaxing on the sand, exploring the trails of More Mesa (a quick walk away), hanging out in our game room, or soaking up the sun on our spacious patio. Perfectly situated between downtown Santa Barbara and UCSB, this is the ultimate family vacation spot.

The Boardwalk Beach House, nestled on nearly an acre, has been lovingly transformed by renowned design team Hearth Homes Interiors into a Santa Barbara-meets-Hamptons haven. We envisioned this as the perfect family escape, filled with thoughtful touches and luxurious amenities. Relax in the spacious living room, ideal for making memories together, or unwind in the cozy lounge, perfect for pre-dinner drinks or a lively game night. Step outside and discover a truly special backyard "beach" for the kids, plus a breathtaking outdoor dining area. Gather around the fire pit on cool nights, surrounded by ample seating. Explore the nearby bike path, then enjoy some friendly competition in the game room with foosball and a fantastic selection of board games.

After a long night, retreat to bedrooms featuring plush Casper mattresses and comfortable Parachute & Brooklinen linens. You'll find our bathrooms stocked with all your favorite Public Goods personal care products. This is your ultimate beachside retreat, designed with your family's comfort and joy in mind!

Beautiful house inside and outside

A group of 10 friends gathered for a weekend in this property. The house was spacious and had many places to relax as a group. We spent many hours hanging out in the large backyard, BBQing and using the fire pit. Access to the private beach was great. Plenty of room for 10 adults. Exceeded all our expectations.

This house exceeded every single expectation we had! Our group had the most incredible time, and honestly, I can't imagine staying anywhere else for a bachelorette celebration.The House: Simply stunning! This is hands down the most beautiful property we've ever rented. Every corner is Instagram-worthy, and the whole vibe just screams luxury and elegance. The beds were like sleeping on clouds - we all slept so well after our long days of celebrating!Location: The neighborhood feels like you've been transported to the Hamptons, but you get all the magic of Santa Barbara. It's safe, charming, and absolutely adorable. We felt completely comfortable walking around and exploring the area.Kitchen & Amenities: The kitchen was a dream! So well-stocked with everything we needed to cook multiple meals throughout our stay. The grill was perfect for our group dinners, and we honestly had everything we could have wanted and more. It made our stay feel like home but way better!Host: Humberto is an absolute gem! He was incredibly thoughtful (even surprised us with drinks for the bachelorette - such a sweet touch!) and was always quick to respond whenever we had questions. You can tell he really cares about making sure his guests have an amazing experience.This place is absolutely perfect for large groups and special celebrations. We're already talking about planning our next girls' trip here. Don't hesitate to book - you won't regret it!Would definitely stay again: 100% YES!
