A memorable Gold Coast stay for your group of eight awaits at this 2BR/2BA Santa Barbara home. Walking distance from the ocean and blocks from great eats, this Santa Barbara home promises a downright dreamy Gold Coast vacation. Mesa Lane Beach is just across the creek bridge, and both Mesa Lane Steps and One Thousand Steps beaches are only a little further. The famous Santa Barbara Zoo is within a 10-minute drive.

Craving a hike with epic views? Find Inspiration Point within a 12-minute drive. Douglas Family Preserve offers stunning trails along the Pacific 6 blocks from home. Wander the captivating gardens at Lotusland or the Santa Barbara Botanical Garden.

You're just a short walk to the beach and the Douglas Preserve and a 20/30 minute walk to Leadbetter Beach and Hendry's Beach or a 3-minute drive to both. It is close to the Santa Barbara City College, and a 15-minute drive to UCSB.

This two-story home has a fresh beachy feel, lots of natural light, and updated furniture for an extra-comfortable stay. Downstairs, the breezy deck backs up to a seasonal creek. Relish in ocean views from the second-floor balcony while burgers sizzle on the grill.

Upstairs, the living room invites with two armchairs, a cozy sofa, and a 48in Roku TV. An intricate area rug and an ocean-scape wall piece add a contemporary touch. Make your way downstairs to the second living room, detailed with a 48in Roku TV, decorative fireplace, and a wet bar. This cozy space doubles as a bedroom with a modern full-over-full bunk bed. The open-concept kitchen has ample counter space, blonde cabinetry, and every gadget and tool you might need. Dine indoors at a sunlit five-person dining table, or enjoy meals alfresco on the balcony, furnished with another dining table for six, a shade umbrella, and a gas grill. Ocean views accompany every meal. (Please note the kitchen is not equipped with a dishwasher.)

A queen bed awaits in the airy primary suite, and a tub/shower combination highlights the pristine bath. The second bedroom has a queen bed and a peaceful gray motif. A tub/shower combination rounds out the shared bath on this floor. Step outside to the deck. Sip evenings cocktails or fresh lemonade from a set of chairs and take in the scene.

A washer/dryer, complimentary Wi-Fi, Netflix, and newly installed heating and A/C are provided.

Two Night Stay in Santa Barbara
The house is in a great location, and has a view of the ocean. A path that leads to a walkway along the coast and goes to the harbor is right out the front door. The living area has very comfortable seating to chat and relax. The place could use a little TLC. Faucets in the bathroom are corroded. The floorboards look dirty because they need painting. The third bedroom has no privacy. Hand soap in the two bathrooms and kitchen seems like a necessity. There were dead ants on a towel in the cupboard over the toilet. The plug by the sink outside the bathroom by the bunkbeds doesn’t work. The GFI wouldn’t reset. My phone and watch didn’t charged over night due to that.

Beautiful views
Location, location, location! Waking up to the sunrise over the ocean and mountains was amazing. The location is perfect for walking to the beach or the nearby bars, restaurants, and stores.

Stay
The stay and place were great. The only problem was trying to get in due to the pad not unlocking the latch. Also, we had told someone, the day of, that the back screen has been split and beer bottles flowing over in the trash can. Other than that…. Wonderful, thank you!!
