In addition to its close proximity to Downtown, the Funk Zone and all its wonderful shops and restaurants, the Mesa boasts its own neighborhood food scene worth exploring with fun spots like Mesa Burger, Lighthouse Coffee, Alcazar Tapas Bar, Mesa Verde Vegan, Super Cucas and Rose Café for Mexican food, two yogurt/ice cream shops, one featuring McConnell’s Ice Cream, and the fabulous Lazy Acres Natural Food Market. You’ll find this community very casual and beachy.
The house is directly next door to a small neighborhood park called Escondido Park, with playground for 2-5 year olds, bbq’s and patio tables all shaded under mature trees, and a half basketball court. There is another park up the street (4 minute walk to the entrance) with beautiful views, walking paths and a downhill mountain bike path. There is also paragliding, if you sign up in advance..

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Dave and Toni McClintock
When be bought this home, we loved the privacy as we raised our kids here until they were 5, 8 and 10. [Note, we've also been a host of another VRBO rental property in Snowmass, CO, for over 15 years. You can find the listing if you search for 'magic in the Aspen trees'.]
Why they chose this property
The north edge of the property borders an unused city reservoir that is closed to the public. So we have this peaceful oak grove that extends from the back yard, you feel like you're in the forest, but you're right there in Santa Barbara on the mesa, minutes from the beach, shopping / restaurants, and 3 parks!
What makes this property unique
As of November 2022 we are just wrapping up a refresh - all new floors, bathrooms, kitchen, appliances, and landscape. It's like renting a brand new home.
