About this property

Montecito Miramar Beach House on the Sand

Escape to Santa Barbara`s best beach enclave for the ultimate family getaway. Watch the sun rise each day from either the expansive top or bottom decks, before enjoying a day of paddle boarding, surfing and fun on the sand. End each day watching the sun set over the ocean from the beachfront hot tub, and then fall asleep to the sound of the waves. Conveniently located close to all Montecito stores/restaurants and accessible hikes, this is truly the best getaway Santa Barbara has to offer!

As a renter you have access to the entire home, including the hot tub on the lower deck and all stand up paddle boards, surf boards etc.

My Husband and I live in Santa Barbara, and while we offer contact-less check-in we are still available should you need anything during your stay.

The beach house is positioned right on the sand at Miramar beach in Montecito just doors from the new Miramar Beach Hotel - close enough to walk to for cocktails or a dinner out, but far enough for privacy and solitude.

We are a quick 3 minute drive to Upper Village Montecito for dinner and shopping, or a 3 minute drive to Coast Village Road for more shopping and dining.

Miramar also offers beginner waves at the point should you want to surf during your stay.

The easiest way to get around is by car - whether you bring your own, rent or take ubers.

Biking is a super fun way to get to Coast Village for dining or shopping.

We stayed here for five nights with our large family, and overall the home itself had a lot to offer. The location is absolutely beautiful—right on the beach—and the house had plenty of space for everyone to spread out comfortably. The host was also very responsive and easy to communicate with, which we appreciated.There were a few minor issues inside the home. The upstairs bathroom is quite small, and some of the cups and glasses in the upstairs kitchen were dusty and needed to be washed before use. The staircase leading to the lower level is also very tight, which could be difficult for some guests.Unfortunately, the biggest issue during our stay was not with the home itself but with the neighboring property. Starting on our third day, the renters next door were extremely loud and disruptive—playing loud music, smoking marijuana, and even setting up beer pong tables right in front of the home we were staying in. We tried to tolerate it, but by the fourth day it was no longer a relaxing or family-friendly environment, and we decided to leave early.Because of leaving early, we also had to throw away a significant amount of groceries we had purchased for the remainder of our stay, which added to the frustration and overall cost of the trip.For the price we paid, we expected a more peaceful experience, especially in such a beautiful setting. While the home itself was nice, the overall experience was impacted by factors outside the host’s control.

Outstanding property

Right on the beach with everything you need to enjoy all Montecito and Santa Barbara have to offer. Unobstructed ocean views and beautifully decorated home. The owners thought of absolutely everything to make guests comfortable. Well worth the price!

Perfect Beach Getaway

This location can not be beat in Montecito. You are literally on the sand on the best beach in the area. We have stayed at The Rosewood Resort nearby and this set up blows it away if you are looking for a beach trip. The contactless check-in was a seamless process. We loved the added touch of gourmet coffee, flowers, and wine upon arrival. The home is spotless, the bed linens are luxurious, and the beds are very comfortable The small but efficient kitchen has everything you will need. Kayaks, surf boards, and paddle boards are provided and they are located a just a short distance from the water. One of the most amazing features is the jacuzzi located on the lower deck right off the beach. We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely rent this home again.

beautiful

We had a great time. The house and location are both beautiful. One note for guests- Stairs to property are steep, so consider that if you have older folks with you.
