Perfect spot to spend a weekend to celebrate a UCSB graduation. The home has an open floorplan and makes good use of space indoors and out. Great mid-century aesthetic. Easy walk to Miramar beach. Quick drive to downtown Santa Barbara or UCSB.

Perfect for our needs and our pup loved it too. The gardens and big trees were just wonderful and we enjoyed hanging out in the yard in the afternoon. We walked the dog down to the beach regularly. The tar on the beach was inconvenient but we appreciated the cleaning supplies at the house. We cooked dinner regularly and found just enough pans and utensils to make it work. Would recommend.

Thanks so much for your feedback and the photos. We have ordered new updated cookware and utensils based on your experience. Great that you enjoyed the property. So sorry you caught our beach at a bad moment. A little tar is normal but an unusual natural tar event hit Santa Barbara County beaches in mid-July 2026 during your stay. I am sorry it interfered with your beach use. I hope you are able to return to enjoy the beach more fully another time, and we would be happy to extend a discount for your return visit. It is usually a beautiful beach. Thanks for being a great guest.

Convenient, Comfortable, and Well-Equipped

Great location. Walkable for beaches, food and drink. House is well-equipped for cooking, relaxing or heading to the beach (towels, chairs, umbrella). Owner is very responsive to any needs and bed and couches are comfy. One downside is the proximity to 101 if you are bothered by traffic noise. We found it wasn't a major problem and well mitigated by white noise machines and available earplugs.

Wonderful weekend in Santa Barbara

You can't beat the location of this house. It's steps from the Rosewood hotel and Miramar beach. Easy walk to downtown Montecito as well. House is well appointed, cozy living room and kitchen has everything. Access to laundry room. Katy, the owner is lovely and very helpful. Two things to note, The beds are small if you have large adults - two in our group are over 6'5". And, Katy, the owner, lives next door which wasn't a problem at all and she provided great tips for walking to another nearby beach.
