Just 3 blocks above Leadbetter Beach and Shoreline Park this beautiful and dedicated solely as a VACATION HOME is located on the popular MESA neighborhood, the crown jewel of Santa Barbara.

Leadbetter Beach is a short walk down the street where you can lay out your beach towels, chairs, umbrella and cooler (ALL PROVIDED/INCLUDED) and watch the surfers catching waves. Sorry No dogs/alcohol allowed here.

Shoreline Park is a popular 14-acre coastal bluff park with amenities including a playground, picnic tables / barbecues, and beach access stairs. Shoreline Park provides sweeping views of the Santa Barbara Coastline, the Marina, the Channel Islands, and Santa Ynez Mountains. Walking through the Torii Gate in the center of the park will take you to down the bluff to the beach below. DOGS can play OFF-LEASH on this beach (that's my little buddy in cover photo) and on-leash in the park.

The home is also close to the popular downtown State Street, wharf and marina, shopping, wine tasting, popular restaurants, outdoor rentals and much more. Let me know your interests are and I'll help point the way!

Trusted Babysitter (child or dog):
Across the street from my home lives a long-time resident Debbie. She has cared for many of my house guest's children or pet.

FLY into our local Santa Barbara Airport (Alaska / American / Delta / Frontier / United) The home is located between the 101 Frwy and the Beach. Traveling North exit Bath Street. Traveling South exit Castillo Street. Use your map app to guide you to the house.

Please Note:
The posted website rates are based on 3 people. Utility costs (water, electricity, gas), linen service, cleaning costs, wear and tear, etc., go up with each additional guest, greater than 3. Even with this nominal upcharge, I'm sure you can appreciate the savings and benefits by bringing in a large group under the same roof.

There are security cameras (front of house only) on the property that ensure the safety of you, your vehicle(s) and compliance by our guests. While we understand that you may have friends and family visit you during your stay, unauthorized overnight guests (and pets) will be charged at the rate posted and taken from your deposit.

In addition, there is a wifi connected alarm/monitoring noise detection device on the property so that loud noise (music/party/etc.) do not disturb our neighbors. Please be respectful of these rules. Thank You.

Perfect beach house

From the outside, this may look like many other beach houses, but inside, it is amazing--with great dark wood and beach decor. The backyard is a tropical paradise that my 6 year-old granddaughter LOVED. We were just a few blocks form the beach and convenient to everything. House has all you need including boogie boards and beach towels. Wish we could have stayed longer. Host Mark was VERY responsive to every question. Stay here!

Wedding weekend in Santa Barbara

My family and I attended a wedding in Santa Barbara and stayed at this property in May 2025. We were blown away at the charm, convenience, location, and overall quality of the property and amenities. The host was extremely communicative and answered all of our questions promptly. He even had several suggestions for things to do that weekend in the area. All of the rooms included all the amenities necessary, everyone felt safe and comfortable. And being less than a mile from the ocean, made it the perfect location. Would highly recommend for adult adults, families, or anyone staying in the area

My family of 3 stayed here for 5 days while visiting my son who is in college in Santa Barbara. This house is wonderful! It’s clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything you might need. The backyard is a lovely oasis and this property is within walking distance to the beach. We couldn’t have been happier and will definitely stay here again when we return to lovely Santa Barbara.

Great stay!

This property is beautifully decorated and equipped. We stayed between the holidays and the Christmas spirit was celebrated throughout the house. The beds are comfy, the place is immaculate, and the house is just a few blocks to Ledbetter (for the surfers) and a great park for walking a dog. We would definitely return to this lovely property.

Outstanding Property

We have stayed in many properties during our travels. Mark's property stands out as truly exceptional. The location is wonderful, within walking distance of the beach. The home is comfortable and extends into a lovely backyard which our golden retriever loved. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked and we really enjoyed the "coffee bar' set up in the kitchen. We also had the added bonus of a wonderful pet sitter right across the street. We will definitely consider it for future travels to the area.

Perfect family getaway

This home was absolutely perfect for our family -- including two small kids and one set of grandparents. Extremely well done and maintained house in a great location. The backyard was a particular highlight - giving our kids an easy place to play and a comfortable, peaceful spot for al fresco dining. Also a short walk to a gorgeous beach and public park, and very convenient to downtown SB. Highly recommended!!
