About this property
Mesa Retreat for Groups | 5BR, Firepit, Near Beach
A boho-chic 4-bedroom group retreat in Santa Barbara's Mesa neighborhood with firepit, BBQ, and dedicated workspace — sleeping 8, minutes from Mesa beaches and downtown. This is the gathering house: rattan and warm textiles, five bedrooms so nobody draws the short straw, and a backyard built for the kind of long, easy evenings that turn a group trip into an annual tradition. Girls' trips, family reunions, friend groups finally getting the calendar to align — the Mesa Coastal Retreat holds everyone and keeps the mood light.
THE SPACE. Four queen bedrooms, and a fifth room with a office to give real flexibility for groups of every shape. The heart of the home is a cozy, textured living area and a fully equipped kitchen where the group dinner comes together — then everything drifts outside to the backyard: BBQ smoking, firepit crackling, string-light dinners at the long outdoor table, and enough seating that no one hovers. A dedicated workspace tucks away for the one person who "just has to take a call," making work-from-Santa-Barbara weeks genuinely easy.
WELLNESS HERE. Slow coastal mornings with yoga mats provided, walkable Mesa calm, firepit conversations that run past midnight, and premium linens for everyone — the affordable base camp for a group wellness weekend.
THE LOCATION. The Mesa — Santa Barbara's laid-back, family-oriented coastal neighborhood — minutes to Arroyo Burro (Hendry's) Beach, Shoreline Park's blufftop sunsets, and downtown Santa Barbara.
GOOD TO KNOW. No pets (service animals welcome). Garage and front courtyard are reserved for owners. There is no AC at this home, but we do have fans per bedroom - please note the back left bedroom ceiling fan is currently not operable and a floor fan is available for guest use.
THE CHOSEN DIFFERENCE — WELLNESS BUILT INTO EVERY STAY Chosen is Santa Barbara's wellness vacation rental company, and every stay begins before you unpack. You'll be welcomed with a curated arrival gift of wellness essentials and local favorites, wrapped in a custom Chosen tote that's yours to take home. Every home is prepared with high thread-count linens, premium bath products, and non-toxic cleaning protocols.
Beyond the home, you'll enjoy exclusive discounts and complimentary access to Chosen's local wellness partners — hand-picked spa, massage, fitness, sauna, and recovery experiences across Santa Barbara, Summerland, and Montecito that other rentals simply can't offer. Want to go deeper? Personalize your stay with add-on services including in-home massage, facials, personal training, and private chef experiences, all seamlessly arranged by our concierge. A stay like this isn't just booked — it's Chosen.
