Enjoy living on the beach at Seascape, a classic California Beach House! Seascape is a large beach house that families return to year after year. It was built in 1946 by our grandparents and has been in our family for four generations.

The main floor has nearly 50 feet of picture windows providing a panoramic view of Santa Barbara to the north, of the beach, ocean and Channel Islands and to the South, a pier and island just offshore. Watch dolphins surf the waves while you eat breakfast!

Sunrise to sunset, the vista is constantly changing colors and moods. Throughout the day dolphins, seals, and an occasional whale, cruise past your windows. Watch flocks of pelicans diving for fish, as a fishing boat pulls its crab pots. There is a local pair of Sea Otters that make a lively appearance as well, stealing bait from those crab pots!

Seascape is truly turn-key, just bring your suitcases!

The open space design of the main floor combines a large living room area with the gourmet kitchen and a dining area with a table that seats ten. Wherever you are on the main floor, you see the panorama of the ocean and beach. Step directly from the main floor on to the large Mahogany deck that overlooks the ocean.

Seascape is designed for multi-family use. The “Captains Quarters" on the top floor has a master & twin bedrooms, and a bathroom. It is accessed from an outside staircase, which provides separate and private accommodations from the rest of the house. It's perfect for a small family. With several families in the house, the beach becomes the living and play room during the day. Kids can safely spend the whole day on the beach building elaborate sandcastles with moats of flowing seawater, flying kites, wading, collecting shells, and boogie boarding. Parents can sit on the deck and keep an eye on things.

Because public access to the beach is limited, the beach in front of the house seems private, with an occasional couple walking by, or the lone fisherman knee deep in the water casting into the surf.

We set up the large kitchen for those who like to cook, enjoy wine and engage in conversation (We do!). The kitchen can accommodate three to four people cooking together. A renovated 1948 Wedgwood stove with a double oven, and double broilers can crank out enough food for a restaurant. A large counter curves around the kitchen. It can seat 4 people on stools, or be used for serving. The dining room table seats 10 people, in front of the wall of picture windows.

Unlimited shops and stores are a short drive away. Santa Barbara/ Montecito are a 20 minute drive, and are filled with museums, first-class stores, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, clubs and restaurants. The quaint coastal town of Carpinteria is a ten minute drive north up the highway, with supermarkets, Starbucks & owner run restaurants. Ventura is 15 minutes south on HW 101. Los Angeles is a 1.5 hour drive south. Many people have business meetings in LA during the day while their family hangs out at the beach. The Ciff House Hotel is located in our small community; you can walk to it for a Five Star treat at "The Shoals" restaurant!

For a classic California Beach House experience, spend a week.. or a month, at Seascape!
