This Spanish style studio is attached to our primary residence, but has a completely separate entrance and is within walking distance (5 minutes) to our neighborhood beach - Mesa Lane beach, unknown to tourists. 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:
* Tile floors.
* Comfortable twin Murphy bed
* Comfortable pull out couch (sleeps 2)
* 2 french doors with LOTS OF LIGHT
* Vaulted ceilings
* Full kitchen w/dishwasher and stove/oven
* Bonus room - can sleep a single person w/single futon
Our guesthouse is very clean and comfortable - but we have priced it lower than many vacation rentals in the area. Although it has a full kitchen, tvs, dvds, all linens, dishes, etc. - it has no frills, so if you are looking for a "designer, luxury vacation rental, this probably isn't it. The convenience to the beach, the harbor area and to shopping are appealing to many and since we are nearby, we are happy to help with anything you might need for your vacation.
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.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
We are a family of four, Lisa, Bruce, and our two teenagers, Savannah and Shane (16 and 17). 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.
