The Boathouse—Upper Unit (1 Bed/1 Bath with a sleeper sofa in living room). Please inquire if you would like to book both Upper & Lower levels together (2 Bed/ 2 Bath) or see listing titled "Entire Unit". Property code for entire unit: p4170118 Paradise on the beach! Sitting right on the sand at one of the most beautiful semi-private beaches in Santa Barbara, "The Boathouse" is the perfect retreat! This property is located on the best part of Miramar Beach! Constructed of teak, mahogany and white spruce, accompanied by etched and stained glass windows, this unique cottage has been designed to look and feel like a well-built custom sailing vessel. The property consists of two separate one bedroom/one bathroom units joined by a connected stairway inside and a common entrance from the outside. Each unit can be rented separately (sleeping 2 adults and 2 children) or together for a maximum of 6 to 8 people. Please take into consideration that this property is equip with multiple sets of stairs that are required for access down to the unit and down to the beach. As is typical with many Santa Barbara homes, this property does not have AC. Open windows and the use of fans allow ocean breezes in to keep the house cool during hot summer months. The Upper Unit features a fireplace and larger enclosed deck. Relax and enjoy the amazing view as you listen to the sound of the surging waves. Let the waves lull you to sleep in a comfortable queen size bed. For your entertainment, this cozy cabin is also equipped with a television, cable TV and wifi. However, you will be too busy enjoying the outdoors! Just a few steps to the sand, where plenty of beach accessories await for your enjoyment—chairs, umbrellas, kayaks and boogie boards included. When you are ready to enjoy a meal, a small kitchen provides all that you need for cooking or step up to the roof deck for your barbecuing pleasure! (Deck is shared with lower unit). If eating out at great restaurants is more your style, Montecito's lower Village is only a mile away and downtown Santa Barbara is a short 10 minute drive. When flying into the area, the property is easily accessible from Santa Barbara Airport (only about 20 minutes away) and Los Angeles (90 miles south). The Boathouse is truly a relaxing place to get away for it all! Come and escape to Miramar Beach! Please Note: If both units are rented by separate parties, expect some interaction due to the nature of the internal stairs, upper deck, shared laundry, and common stairs to the beach. This property is equipped with multiple sets of stairs that are required for access down to the unit from the parking lot and down to the beach. It may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV with cable channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Concierge services - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Kayak - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 500 square feet ## Similar properties ![TV, DVD player](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33920000/33910200/33910195/86285725.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beachfront Retreat On Sand with Charming Nautical Features | Lower Unit Montecito - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 25 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=33910195&PinnedHotelID=33910195&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78180000/78178300/78178275/c9fc6d4c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury 2 story 2 bedroom Ocean and Mountain views home Summerland Summerland - Sea view - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=78178275&PinnedHotelID=78178275&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/47000000/46150000/46142100/46142035/1595f89d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Cottage in Montecito Montecito - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 37 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=46142035&PinnedHotelID=46142035&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70900000/70898400/70898384/81556928.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Padaro Retreat 4 BD Ocean Front Beach House Padaro Lane - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=70898384&PinnedHotelID=70898384&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93680000/93675900/93675845/9050fd0f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Funk Zone Apartment Walking Distance to the Beach!
