It was great to be in easy contact with the owner. Great place and great stay. Hard to emphasize how nice it was to be in walking distance to the bluffs overlooking the ocean, the beach itself, and also places to shop and eat!

The property was adequate for a gals trip, conveniently located to beaches, shopping and restaurants. Furnishings a bit dated and dark. We didn’t spend much time there, as we were exploring. A great price for a 4 bedroom.

This was a perfect space for our family. Lots of space to gather both inside and out. We made use of the grill and loved the pool table! We were able to walk to the beach and there are multiple restaurants, grocery stores, CVS within walking distance as well. Neighborhood is good-quiet and safe. Would highly recommend!

Stayed here for a wedding. Very comfortable for 7 of us. House was clean. The pool table was a hit in the garage as the weather was beautiful the first weekend in March. The walk and the trek down the stairs to the ocean was worth it.

The house was perfect for our family of 7 and 2 babies. It was very spacious! It exceeded our expectations. The extra room/garage further added to the feel of the house having a lot of space. The location is perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would def stay here again if and when in Sb again!

HI, we have 3 homes in Santa Barbara, and the other 2 are from 1905. Original Craftsmen places and so this 1986 home on the Mesa is large and 'modern' to us. But that can be relative, of course! And we do love our original turn of the century homes, but also this spacious place nearer to the ocean. We do hope to see you again and thanks, David

Great location, comfortable for large family/multi couples

We stayed two great nights at the Mesa house. Loved its walkability to the Mesa steps and beach as well as restaurants and grocery/drug stores. Backyard was pleasant, too. We enjoyed gathering around the kitchen table as we always do :) While we didn’t cook there we noted the well stocked kitchen. Eight minute drive to downtown!
