Awesome location right on the surf!

We always wanted to stay in a house right on the ocean and the location was incredibly close literally steps away from the water.Having a home so close to the water, however has its downside with chronic wear and tear on the house. If the house were better maintained, they could certainly charge more rent. I felt however, that it was well worth the money we spent and we really enjoyed our stay there.. The host was great.

Perfect Location!!!

This was the perfect location to enjoy the beautiful Miramar Beach (it was SO oceanfront it was almost IN the ocean lol) and lovely Montecito and Santa Barbara. Very secure, comfortable and had all the dishes, towels, blankets, etc that one could ever need. Communication with the host was quick and easy and she was very responsive. Fabulous stay!!!

Great meeting place for our family

In spite of several days of rain, we enjoyed walking on the beach, eating great food, and just getting together in the Blue House and appreciating what it has to offer. Everything you could possibly want is provided. The sound of the ocean is so relaxing. We would happily stay here again. Robin is a great host.

Lovely beach vacation!

There's nothing quite like a front row seat to the Pacific Ocean. It was so wonderful to hear the sound of the ocean at night and to wake to the waves in the morning to calm one's nerves. There's no lack of charm in this well appointed family home. We hope to stay there again.

Epic Location

Terrific home with everything we needed. Loved it - excellent location. Right on the beach. Very relaxing and comfortable. Fit our whole family easily. Location to everything is excellent. I would highly recommend the place and owner is on it! Good right point break right off of the house and the lineup was all very nice people. We came for our son’s graduation from UCSB - wish we had found this place 5 years ago. We would have always stayed here. Aloha

Great location, very responsive host

Overall a great stay at the Blue House. The location is wonderful, two dedicated parking spaces plus overflow possibilities was very helpful. Robin was clear and responsive when contacts, and the house was fully stocked with various paper products and just everything we needed. The house is certainly not crisp and 'new', but I think this is sort of par for the course with beach houses. We had a great stay.

Lovely house on the beach

My family and friends just spent eight relaxing days enjoying the amenities of the house on the beach; barbecues on the roof deck, walks on the beach and not far from downtown Santa Barbara (ten minutes by car). The house has a fully stocked kitchen if you want to cook complete meals and a great view of the beach from the large living room windows. There are plenty of beach towels and body boards to use. We look forward to a return visit. Robin was very responsive to any questions we had.

Beach cottage vibes

Our family of 5 plus our daughters’ 2 boyfriends enjoyed our week at this very rustic beach cottage RIGHT on the water in Montecito. An amazing location and having 2 parking spots and a little band of sandy beach out the door was a huge win. It feels like you are on a boat! We enjoyed the roof deck as well at sunset. Fabulous views. The cottage could use a refresh but it was entirely kitted out and had everything we needed. Our host outlined everything clearly. And the 4 beds and baths worked great for the configuration of the family. We thoroughly enjoyed this beach vacation at this special little slice of the California coast.

Perfect beach-side family spot

Spending a week at the Blue Beach House was our family vacation splurge for the year and it was so worth it! The house is right on the water, really well-equipped (even a high chair!), and beloved by the neighbors (we literally had other renters stop us and say they loved staying in the Blue Beach House in the past.) We we’re traveling with another couple, our 2yo and our nanny. So the 2-floor bedroom setup worked out perfectly for our nanny and the other couple to have some privacy (top floor: 2 bedrooms) and our family to have our own space (bottom floor: 2 bedrooms). And there’s a roof deck! Woweee! Not to be missed! Enjoy your stay!

Perfect Beach House Rental!

Spent a week at the Blue Beach House in February during the off season for a romantic getaway with my husband. What a delight! Feels like a European cottage right on the beach. The house is super clean, has all the amenities for beach living, including plenty of towels, washer and dryer, full kitchen set-up for romantic home cooked dinners, with fresh produce from the Santa Barbara farmers market. Was able to tan a little on the deck, even though it was the middle of winter. Woke up to gorgeous sunrise every day, and it's super easy to go for a walk or jog along Miramar beach, right outside the backdoor. There's a stunning ocean front view from the living room and master bedroom. The house is comfy and charming, with a cozy gas log fireplace, lots of great pictures and art on the walls. We felt like we were at a home away from home. There's easy wireless internet, and HD TV. The owners are a pleasure to deal with. Totally worth it and highly recommend. You won't regret it!

Beach Cottage

Due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to take all the advantages of the beach house. . A wonderful location right on the beach near the Miramar Hotel and walking distance to restaurants and shops on Coast Village Rd. Definitely recommend a flashlight if arriving after dark. Best to come in the day time with luggage etc.
