Beautiful spot

Our cottage in Santa Barbara was simply awesome. It was one block from the Douglas Family Preserve. The management staff was very responsive. The owners were unbelievably kind and helpful. We would be thrilled to stay there again.

Loved It

We adored this place for our three night stay. It was conveniently located and suited our needs, plus it was charming! The four star for cleanliness was only for the washer, which had a lot of dog hair in it. We enjoyed our time and would, without a doubt, sentry here again!

Quiet and nice suite behind a house, no views, but one block from a huge park on the bluff overlooking the ocean and 3-4 blocks from steps to the beach - all and all quite nice!

Mesa Magic!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The surrounding location was beautiful, with Douglas Preserve and the beach nearby, and the condo itself was serene, clean, and nicely decorated. We even passed by the owners of the main house, and they were very friendly and kind people. Thank you so much for the great experience!

Great location and beautiful apartment

Terrific 1-BR located in quiet and beautiful West Mesa neighborhood, within walking distance to beach and park, and short ride to downtown. Apartment was very clean and well put together, and surrounded by tropical gardens. The host and hostess were very graceful. The property is managed by a third party, and they responded quickly to all my questions. Having to go through a third party created confusion at one point, but this was quickly fixed by the home owners. All in all a great property from which to explore Santa Barbara

Location, location, location!

Sure, the space is small, but that doesn't matter. With the Douglas Family Preserve literally a block away and Mesa Steps Beach 2 blocks away, this gem of a spot is the absolute perfect place. Everything was 10 minutes away - downtown, Goleta, Montecito, beaches etc... everything was quick and easy to get to. Plus, the space was clean, comfortable and WARM. We stayed when it was about 50 degrees and having that heat in the evenings was amazing. We had everything we needed in this spot, and we would definitely stay again!

Clean, comfy, convenient

Mesa Bliss is surrounded by a tapestry of lush, beautiful landscaping that makes you feel like you are walking into your very own secluded paradise. The neighborhood is safe, lovely and so quiet that we slept with the windows open every night. The house (our vacay home) was well appointed with as gas stove/oven (loved this), a comfy couch, table/chairs, fridge/freezer and lots of cabinets filled with all of the kitchen essentials. The bed and pillows were so comfortable - no restless night for us! The bedroom also had a 5-drawer dresser and plenty of room to store our unloaded suitcases. Bathroom/shower were clean. The water pressure awesome and the windows allowed for fresh air to fill the room after a steamy shower. The owner is so kind in sharing access to their washer/dryer. It came in very handy. Everything is labeled so no need to guess what switch goes to what. My husband and I enjoyed many of the wonderful attractions that Santa Barbara has to offer. (I Madonnari Italian Street Painting Festival was amazing and fun!). This place was so convenient to all of them - from the airport all the way to a drive to Solvang. We also played several rounds of golf in wonderful weather (Sandpiper/along the ocean, Alisal/Slovang, my fav and Glen Annie/hard!). We had never been to Santa Barbara and I'm so glad we decided to check it out, but moreover, I'm so glad we chose Mesa Bliss to be our home away from home. It was perfect. Don't pass up the chance to stay here!

Property was very nice. Everything was in good condition. The unit and house did share walls which we did not expect, we thought it was a detached. Location was great.
