Location: Mesa, Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Area, Central Coast, California, USA

Accommodations:  House, 4 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 2 Baths (Sleeps 8)

We are specifically looking to rent the home for March 27 - April 3, July 3 - 17 and then again for a couple of weeks at the beginning of August.

Please note that this is our primary residence, and because of that we are very selective with our renters. Although the house is large, we are not normally looking for large parties, but more for a family or extended family wishing to have a quiet vacation in a beautiful place in Santa Barbara. We are very respectful of our neighbors and will choose renters who treat other peoples' homes and properties as they would their own residence.

This Spanish style villa is a very private compound within walking distance to our neighborhood beach - Mesa Lane beach, unknown to tourists. Once inside the six foot wall and Mexican style gate, a private paradise awaits you, with lush tropical landscaping, an interior courtyard, several patios, hot tub and bar area, half basketball court, and much more. Located in an upscale residential area of Santa Barbara, the "Mesa", you have access to the beach, stores and restaurants by foot. A designated bike path takes you along the ocean to the main beaches, marina and wharf area. Some of the highlights of this property are as follows:

* Interior Courtyard with table for "al fresco" dining (seats 8) plus outdoor heater

* 4 bedrooms/2 baths with Italian tile and new wood floors throughout house

* Large living room with cathedral ceilings, skylights, enormous sectional couch and large screen HD TV

* Recreation room with pool table (with additional futon sleeping)

* Outdoor bar area with refrigerator and private hot tub

* Soccer field size yard; and smaller fenced back yard

* Bar area overlooking eat in kitchen with stainless steel appliances and Viking stove

Our neighborhood is in a quiet area, but within walking distance to both the beach and the local Mesa Shopping Center featuring a variety of restaurants (Pizzeria, Mexican, Spanish Tapas, Chinese and Thai). Just a five minute walk away are several drug stores, grocery stores (one organic/natural/gourmet), Starbucks, ice cream and smoothie store, nail salons and hair salons.

Take bicycles down past our beautiful Shoreline Park along the ocean to the main West Beach area, Harbor and pier, with an abundance of beach oriented shops, restaurants, etc. Ride in the other direction or stroll to the Douglas Family Preserve (5 minutes away) – ocean front acreage open to the public, and then down the hill to another popular public beach – Hendry’s Beach, with a full restaurant and snack bar. Dolphin sightings are an every day occurrence at the local beaches.

We love Santa Barbara and have been here for over 20 years. Our city offers the finest restaurants, cultural events, music, rich history, and year round outdoor recreation, but remains a small community with no traffic to speak of and friendly, open people. Just 40 minutes away over the mountain is the small Danish community of Solvang and the wine tasting area of Santa Ynez where the recent Oscar-winning film “Sideways was filmed.

We are a family of four, Lisa, Bruce, and our two teenagers, Savannah and Shane (14 and 16). We have traveled extensively, love exploring new places, and particularly like outdoor recreation, whether it be warm climates or cold. This is our primary residence, so our home comes with a lot of extras that you wouldn't find in a vacation home.
