A five-minute walk down the beach leads you to the Rosewood Miramar resort offering spa treatments, beach services, and a Michelin-starred restaurant. A short drive lands you in downtown Santa Barbara for more award-winning dining and shopping options. This home dates back to the early 1900s and was originally a “day shack” for sun worshipping beach goers to take refuge on hot summer days. Enter on the upper level with a unique pitched ceiling and skylights with large bay windows centered on the ocean. The Living and Dining Rooms meld together and are anchored by an open Kitchen extended by a deck that features glass railings for unobstructed views. The lower level rooms were designed to feel like the staterooms on a yacht. Please note that the 3rd guest room with the bunk beds has to be accessed by the 2nd guest bedroom. This is a great set up for families but not for couples traveling together. Please note that during certain seasons and weather patterns, there isn’t always a sandy beach directly in front of the home. However, a short walk will offer a sandy place to relax and kick off your shoes. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### 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 - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Books - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - 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 ocean ### 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) ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69720000/69718800/69718701/9da9d74b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beachfront Bungalow on Miramar Beach Montecito - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 29 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=69718701&PinnedHotelID=69718701&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99550000/99543900/99543822/3c1fd033.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Oceanfront Cottage on the Sand at Miramar Beach Montecito - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 16 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=99543822&PinnedHotelID=99543822&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, stereo](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/99000000/98540000/98531500/98531489/9e806726.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beach Front Escape on Miramar Beach in Montecito Montecito - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=98531489&PinnedHotelID=98531489&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99880000/99871300/99871265/c143cb27.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Montecito Treehouse-a unique property with beautiful ocean views!
