Walking distance from the ocean and blocks from great restaurants, this Santa Barbara home promises a dreamy Gold Coast vacation. Mesa Lane Beach is just across the creek bridge, and both Mesa Lane Steps and One Thousand Steps beaches are only a little further. The famous Santa Barbara Zoo is within a 10-minute drive. Craving a hike with epic views? Find Inspiration Point within a 12-minute drive. Douglas Family Preserve offers stunning trails along the Pacific and is only 6 blocks from home! Wander the captivating gardens at Lotusland or the Santa Barbara Botanical Garden. You're just a short walk to the beach and the Douglas Preserve, and a 20 minute walk to Leadbetter Beach and Hendry's Beach; or a 3-minute drive to both. It is close to the Santa Barbara City College, and a 15-minute drive to UCSB. This two-story home has a fresh beachy feel, lots of natural light, and updated furniture for an extra-comfortable stay. Downstairs, the breezy deck backs up to a seasonal creek. Relish in ocean views from the second-floor balcony while burgers sizzle on the grill. Upstairs, the living room invites with two armchairs, a cozy sofa, and a 48in Roku TV. An intricate area rug and an ocean-scape wall piece add a contemporary touch. Make your way downstairs to the second living room, detailed with a 48in Roku TV, decorative fireplace, and a wet bar. This cozy space doubles as a bedroom with a modern full-over-full bunk bed. The open-concept kitchen has ample counter space, blonde cabinetry, and every gadget and tool you might need. Dine indoors at a sunlit five-person dining table, or enjoy meals alfresco on the balcony, furnished with another dining table for six, a shade umbrella, and a gas grill. Ocean views accompany every meal. (Please note the kitchen is not equipped with a dishwasher.) There is a king bed in the airy primary suite, and a tub/shower combination highlights the cozy bathroom. The second bedroom has a king bed and a peaceful gray motif. A tub/shower combination rounds out the shared bath on this floor. Step outside to the deck, sip evening cocktails or fresh lemonade from a set of chairs and take in the scene! Please note that while we do welcome pets at this property, we are unable to accommodate cats. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden - Gas grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,373 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83990000/83981600/83981545/f6876f80.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mesa Jewel: Private 3BR Home w/ Hot Tub, Yard & Walk to Beach The Mesa - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 18 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-15&endDate=2025-11-16&selected=83981545&PinnedHotelID=83981545&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93460000/93452700/93452617/b4b09ef5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Large home, 4Bdrms, parking. 1 block Mall, near Park-Ocean steps, 5 min Dwntn SB The Mesa - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 27 reviews £648 includes taxes & fees 2 Nov - 3 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=93452617&PinnedHotelID=93452617&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117500000/117499400/117499360/4102fe9f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beach Bliss - Art Deco Inspired Retreat, Explore Santa Barbara!

Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Daniel Z. 22 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Mildew on the first floor, be careful!!! From the moment you open the door of this property, you will smell mildew. It is undeniable. My girl & I stayed last week for 3 nights. The house was fine, no real problems per se aside from the mildew, and the hand d rails going up the stairs are not safe. We didn't think much of the mildew until the day after leaving my girl became horribly ill. She was coughing and sneezing like you couldn't imagine. It wasn't until just today, eight days later she is better and we realized why she had gotten sick. She stayed on the bottom floor and I stayed on the top floor where the smell isn't bad. If you stay on the bottom floor of this porperty, you will get sick from the mold mildew smells. I have pre existing health conditions, had I stayed there being an older male adult, I probably would not have made it thru the sickness. My girl had no pre existing conditions. The main living space is upstairs of the two floor property, downstairs where the mold is bad, there is a bedroom and bunks, avoid this area or better yet avoid this property altogether. This is brutal honesty. ##### Daniel Z. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Julie D. 12 Mar 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Julie D.
