About this property
Bright, Sunny Oceanfront Beach Cottage in Santa Barbara!
WOW! This is the view you've dreamed of...walking into this home you'll feel like you're on a ship! Situated on a mesa with 180 degree ocean views, spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Birds fly at your eye level while whales and dolphins play below. The home is a charming cottage style, newly remodeled primary bathroom, large closets, kitchen stocked with all the appliances. Two bedrooms - primary with a CA King and large kids room with a queen bed and two singles. There is a large TV in the kids room and a small one in the primary. There are hardwood floors, a wood burning fireplace and an outdoor shower with hot water. You're in the heart of Santa Barbara, 5 minutes to the harbor or State Street shopping and 10 minutes to Montecito. Numerous golf courses, wine tasting in the beautiful San Ynez Valley and world renowned restaurants are all close. Walk to neighborhood parks. The Santa Barbara Zoo, Stearns Wharf, Oceanfront Skateboard Park are just a few of the numerous activities available for the kids. Back at the house, you'll enjoy the BBQ outside and lounging on the brick patio or the chaises on the new large deck! Perhaps best of all is being lulled to sleep to the sound of crashing waves

The cottage is amazing with a great deck and patio looking out over the ocean. The house is a classic cottage and has a very comfortable homey feel. Nice walkable neighborhood. We had a great time.
We had the best time here. This is our second time we’ve been able to stay in this beautiful home. The view is amazing and every detail of the house is creatively decorated, clean and comfortable. We hope to visit again!
Wonderful stay, absolutely gorgeous views, tastefully decorated home, clean, quiet, comfortable, lovely host, easy walk to Mesa steps and the beach. The kids loved searching the tidal pools at low tide, we found starfish, crabs and anemones. Saw dolphins from the deck. Enjoyed biking to nearby Douglas Preserve. Appreciated games available for the kids, and the ping pong table was a bonus. A perfect stay in Santa Barbara, we hope to return!
House is poorly maintained and dirty. The views are spectacular and make this an OK stay.

Gosh, this is quite a disappointing review. And a rating we have never received in 15 plus years of renting our cottage. I’m truly sorry this was your experience. I wish I had known of your dissatisfaction during your stay so we could have rectified any issues. We have just finished repainting, a new roof and window replacement-it is 100% our intention to ensure a 5 star stay for all our guests!
Cozy cottage on a bluff overlooking the ocean. Spectacular views and great location, with easy access to downtown Santa Barbara and Montecito. Lots of great wineries for day trips. Highly recommend.
We have stayed at this property several times and the view is fabulous. We enjoyed watching the sea life, surfers, and waves all day long. The house is very comfortable as is the deck and patio. Would stay here again.
The house was perfect for all our trips and you will love the view. House provided everything you need and owner was very responsive. We’d definitely recommend this home.
This is an old cottage that makes you feel right at home. Amazing views and easy location to get to anything you need.The owner was very quick to get to me when a branch broke off the big tree. She had it cleaned up the next day. She is super nice and very easy to deal with.Bring your sunscreen and enjoy the deck and view.
Absolutely beautiful property, very clean and comfortable, location great for walking. We watched dolphins swim by every day. We definitely hope to come back!
