Everything about this home is perfection! This is the second time we have stayed here. The home is super clean, and the kitchen has everything you would need. The bedrooms are all great, and the beds are comfortable. The backyard and views are the icing on the cake. Can't wait to come back to Santa Barbara and stay here.

The host Alex was very helpful and had clear communication, directions and plenty of great local suggestions. The house was amazing- the views were spectacular and there were so many different sitting arrangements. The house was clean and well stocked with kitchen appliances for someone that loves to cook and entertain. The house is just a block from a lovely park and not far to state street. The neighborhood was quiet. We would certainly stay again!

Idyllic location and property in Santa Barbara. I have stayed many times (hundreds) in SB since living there and attending UCSB back in the day, Bacara, Four Seasons, El Encanto, Fess Parker/Hilton Beachfront, others, BUT THIS IS THE PLACE! Host Alex was very easy to reach and work with, he gets a A, home and view A. We will be back. MJY

Everything about the property was lovely. The house is well designed for a group gathering. The furnishings and finishes on the house feel very welcoming. The kitchen is so well equipped. The beds comfy. Alex was great to work with, even being flexible when we needed to change dates due to a medical emergency. Highly recommend, beautiful stay.

Great for Family Girls Trip

This was a wonderful place to stay for our sisters and mom trip. The location was great for walking around and for getting around Santa Barbara and nearby locations. The house was beautiful and a perfect set-up for us all. We definitely hung around the house more than expected because it was so lovely.

I cannot say enough great things about this house and Alex was a superb host. The house is in perfect shape, it was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked, everything in the house worked, even the bikes were in great shape and they didn’t need air in the tires like usual with rental properties. They provided beach toys and boards, the backyard was well maintained. The views from the backyard are breathtaking, we were sad to have to leave but we will most definitely return again and again. Alex was the perfect host, ready to answer any of our questions and very pleasant to deal with. I highly recommend this rental for all the things I listed above and in addition to all that, the house feels like a home! Thank you Alex for being a great host :)

Awesome spot for a family get together.

Great views, great kitchen, well appointed bathrooms and kitchen utensils. The outdoor areas are really nice. Big lawn, garden, hot tub fire pit. Our family had a wonderful time together at this house. Santa Barbara is a great town, in particular, the Funk Zone and the zoo.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay. We celebrated a family birthday here with grandparents and a kiddo. Everybody loved it. Plenty of space to spread out, plenty of quiet spaces to work, the yard is fantastic and secure for kids and dogs. Very well equipped and clean.

Beautiful Property

We had 5 adults and 2 children staying at the property. We also entertained 6 additional adults for dinner one night and the property was a perfect size. The kitchen is well stocked and the furnishings more than adequate. The outside space, overlooking the ocean, made our stay magical. And, Alex is extremely responsive. I highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Alex

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

The Mesa area of Santa Barbara is a highly sought after due to its walking distance to the beach, downtown, and neighborhood coffee shops, grocery stores, and restaurants. In fact, from the house, one can walk or bike along the coast to the wharf, marina, Funk Zone, the Douglas Preserve, Shoreline Park, and downtown's State Street - all without crossing a single street.

What makes this property unique

Shoreline Bliss is one of just a few dozen truly oceanfront properties in Santa Barbara. Uniquely among them all, the house has a private peninsula with whitewater views up and down the coast (instead of just out to sea) - a perfect setting to connect with family or just to cozy up with a book as the sun sets over the Channel Islands.
