Light, Bright, and Beachy on the Mesa

3 BEDROOMS | 2 BATHROOMS | 6 GUESTS
It's hard to believe that this polished and pristine Paradise Retreats home in the beachfront neighborhood of the Mesa was originally built in 1947. It retains that classic charm, but has been immaculately renovated with gorgeous upgrades to truly make it a luxury little paradise. Sitting on .18 acres of land, this residence offers plenty of space to enjoy the natural wonders of SB all from home, but the wildly convenient amenities nearby make venturing out an attractive option. Head to one of the many nearby beaches, such as the stunning Mesa Lane, and afterwards, cool off with a refreshing beverage and a relaxing meal at local's favorite, Corner Tap. Grocery stores, pharmacies, and coffee shops are all a stone's throw away from this perfectly situated spot.

Large windows letting in lovely views of the surrounding greenery and ocean air, as well as the freshly-painted white walls and clean hardwood floors, make this oasis the ideal bright and summery beach house. Ample outdoor space provides the perfect opportunity for long, lingering dinners with friends and family in the comfort and privacy of your own yard. The Zen Garden offers even more options for spreading out and relaxing in this two bedroom two bathroom home. The well-maintained front and back yards are great places for kids to play, while adults can relax by the outdoor firepit and take in the magic of the Mesa.

HIGHLIGHTS:
- Walk to the Beach
- Close to Restaurants, Grocery Stores, Coffee Shops
- Large Yard with Outdoor Fire Pit

Great Santa Barbara getaway

This was a really beautiful Santa Barbara property, close to both the beach and downtown. A wonderful location with a lot of great living space and a kitchen with a lot of supplies for cooking. The outdoor area was beautiful, with a fire pit and a patio for dining. Great sleeping arrangements for a family with kids. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and easy. Would definitely visit again.

Graduation weekend

Our son and my husband’s parents came to SB to celebrate our daughter’s UCSB graduation and the house was perfect. It is exactly as pictured in the listing. The beds and linens are lovely and the kitchen is well equipped. The back yard is also wonderful with a fire pit and also a shaded dining area. One of the best vacation rentals we have stayed in - would highly recommend!!
