VIEWS of Ocean & Islands from House -100 Steps to Ocean in a Quiet Neighborhood!

An Oasis by the beach, with great access to Shoreline Park and the sand. Quiet and private, on a quiet street... yet steps from the Ocean and Shoreline Park!

Great 3 Bedroom 1 Bath beach house in peaceful & quiet neighborhood in convenient location adjacent to the ocean and beach access... The house is only 100 steps to Shoreline Park, with easy access via wooden stairs to a great often secluded beach. There is a play area in the park for Kids! Walk, ride or drive a mile to the SB Harbor & the scenic Breakwater. Just a little further down the coastline is Stearn's Wharf, lower State Street and the popular "Funk Zone" area. The Funk Zone is now home to over 10 restaurants, brew houses, a bakery, fish market, over 15 winery tasting rooms and shopping.

Shoreline Park is 2 houses away - a local gem along a half mile strip of oceanfront land, made into a park in the 50's. It is so popular due to the easy walking along the ocean, a great updated kids play area, acres of grass, beach access, and even surfing at Leadbetter Point.

Ocean and island views from the kitchen, living rooms and one of the bedrooms, with a large south facing deck looking out on the ocean & islands beyond. Deck has seating for 6 and a seating area. Remodeled Kitchen, including most staples for your use, along with a dual fuel range and all of the tools to cook at home. Walk in glass shower in bath. 3 bedrooms - the Master, with a King-sized bed and slider door to the garden, the Ocean View room with a Queen size bed and the 3rd bedroom or office with a Single beds and a door to the tropical garden. There is a private deck in backyard with patio table and chairs accessible from Master bedroom and Office. There are 3 mature fruit trees - lime, lemon and tangelo available for your use, depending on the time of year!

Ocean Palms Oasis is less than 1/2 mile to Mesa shopping, the ever- popular Lazy Acres market ( boutique market with too many choices and prepared food) a CVS & coffee shops. The house is also close to many local restaurants, on the Mesa - the Rose Cafe, Mesa Burger, Ichiban Sushi, Alcazar Tapas Bar, Mesa Verde vegetarian, Corner Tap Brew House, Mesa Thai and at the Harbor and Stearn's Wharf area....including Tomas, Brophy Brothers, The Breakwater, Harbor Restaurant, Santa Barbara Shellfish, the Lucky Penny, the Lark, and many more options . All are walk-able, if you are so inclined...

Amazing stay in Santa Barbara!
We stayed at this fantastic bungalow for 2 weeks this summer and had an amazing time. The place was exceptionally clean at check-in and Bryan even left some treats from the local store making us feel right at home! The kitchen was the best stocked of any rental I’ve stayed in which was great. The location is unbeatable if you’re looking for a peaceful stay in a nice neighborhood close to the ocean. Our child was thrilled there was a playground at the park just a block away and we loved our morning and evening walks along the ocean cliff path. The back deck also has views of the ocean (I missed this in the description) which was a wonderful surprise for us! The yard is beautiful and my child loved being able to pick fresh lemons from the tree. Bryan was an incredible host, was very easy to communicate with and even gave us some tips on fun local events happening while we were there. We are already thinking about how we can go back for even longer next summer!

Slice of Paradise
This was by far our best rental experience. This is a special place, with an amazing location. It is a beautiful property, especially the amazing yard and garden. We enjoyed relaxing and having meals outside, with plenty of privacy and space in the back yard. The neighborhood is peaceful and locals were all very friendly. We were instantly immersed in Santa Barbara the culture and environment. Bryan is an extremely gracious and helpful host, offering help and advice from before we booked the property until after we had left. Communication was responsive and thorough, and all the recommendations were spot-on. He went far out of his way to ensure we had a spectacular time. The house is spotless and very well appointed. There were plenty of amenities and we found it easy to prepare meals. Beds were comfy and all towels and linens were fresh and clean. As described, it is a very short walk to the park and ocean. We found it a great home base for our adventures. It felt very much like a home, rather than a sterile rental house. If we find ourselves in the area again, this would be my first pick for a place to stay. 5+ Stars!

Fantastic home and location in Santa Barbara
We really enjoyed our stay at Bryan's house, which is well appointed with beautiful gardens. It is well located a block from Shoreline Park with incredible peekaboo views to the water. We enjoyed morning walks to the harbor and Stearns Wharf. Bryan was very helpful and attentive and made our stay easy.

Perfect one month stay!
Did not want to leave this super comfy beach cottage with its sunny light-filled interior and fantastic outdoor space in an unbeatable location steps from Shoreline Park and endless beach walking at low-tide. House is compact, well laid out and squeaky clean: Open kitchen, dining, living area plus a primary bedroom and second bedroom separated by a third bedroom/office. Office with desk, chair, printer and fast wifi, great for working remotely. Bathroom is small but bright and modern with a marble glass-walled shower. High quality linens, excellent closet space and comfortable beds. What sets this rental apart is its lovely outdoor space: A corner lot lends itself to multiple sitting/dining areas (partial ocean view!!!) and a serene drought-tolerant California garden with lemon, lime and tangerine trees, all reachable from the kitchen, primary bedroom and third bedroom/office. Kitchen has everything you need and more (even a smoothie machine!). Buy groceries at Lazy Acres or downtown Santa Barbara Saturday AM or Tuesday PM farmer’s markets, cook dinner and watch the sunset from the deck. If cooking is not your thing then order delivery via Grubhub etc. or take a short drive to your choice of restaurants. Bryan is an excellent and responsive host, providing wine, treats and invaluable area recommendations throughout our stay. Highly recommend this rental.

Amazing Late Summer Stay
My wife and I plus our 16th-month-old twins thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bryan's beach cottage on the Mesa. Bryan has the cottage fully dialed in with an OLED TV, Sonos speakers, and beautiful views. The highlight of the property is definitely the deck off the kitchen with gorgeous views and entertaining space. We spent most evenings dining al fresco since the weather was absolutely perfect during our stay. The location can't be beaten, you can walk a mile toward the wharf along Shoreline Park or a mile in the other direction to great restaurants, shops, and La Mesa Park. The kids loved the new tot park which is literally across the street from the property. We're already planning another trip in the future so we can take the little ones surfing at Leadbetter Beach. Thanks, Bryan for sharing your slice of paradise.
