House, 2 Bedrooms + Den, 1.5 Baths, (Sleeps 4-5)
This is your home away from home when visiting Santa Barbara. Two-bedrooms, 1.5 baths, large covered patio for al-fresco dining, reading, movies, relaxing. Walk up four steps to the large, private, outdoor swimming pool (not heated) and BBQ grill after you've come back from exploring.
Ride the bikes to town or to the harbor or wharf where you can shop, dine out, or just take in the beautiful views and smell the salt in the air (there are two adult and two kids bikes at the house, but you can walk to the Wharf area and rent more.)
Santa Barbara offers wonderful festivities all year round and is famous for it's beautiful Spanish style downtown area, restaurants, beaches, courthouse, museums, zoo, live theater, concerts, shopping and more.
Come stay in a great neighborhood, convenient to everything you need to make your visit fun and relaxing, without the expense of renting a hotel room in this upscale town.
The pool is large, private and has a large deck with patio furniture, BBQ grill and privacy.
If you don't want to walk to Shoreline Cafe (right on the beach!) or Brophy Bros (at the Wharf) for the best clam chowder, fresh oysters, or fish tacos while watching dophins swim by (and the occasional whale), the kitchen has everything you need to make snacks for a picnic at the beach, or cook your meals for an outdoor party in the lanai. There is plenty of seating in the formal dining area, eat-in kitchen or on the patio (there are two!) or pool deck.
The living room has a large fireplace and the den has a TV with cable, and WiFi connection for those with a laptop.
The two bedrooms are cozy . There is a convertible sofa in the den that sleeps one.
The main bathroom has a tub and shower. There is also a powder room convenient to the outdoor patio/pool.
Bicycles, games, books (take one home!), pool toys are all available to make your stay enjoyable.

About Dana Livingstone-Lopez
I am the property manager for my Dad, Bill, who is currently living in a retirement community. The family uses Casa Del Sol as a get away (we live in different areas of the West Coast) and mostly to visit my Dad. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Dana Livingstone-Lopez purchased this House in 1977
Why Dana Livingstone-Lopez chose East Mesa
This is in a quaint residential community, with great neighbors, easy walk to beach and Harbor, with private pool and big lanai for family gatherings. It's all about location, but the beds are new and comfy, and everything you need to make yourself at home is here for you. We also have beach equipment and bicycles.
What makes this House unique
Huge private pool, although it is not heated...it's perfect for warm summer days after walking back from the beach. In the cooler months, it's a nice place to relax and enjoy the sun with a BBQ grill and plenty of patio furniture! We love walking down the street for beach dining, breakfast, lunch and dinner!
