Fabulous Santa Barbara ocean view beach retreat

Relax in a stunning and private ocean view retreat in beautiful Santa Barbara, just steps to the beach—1 BD/1 BA, sleeps 2-4. Unwind inside with stellar ocean views, or enjoy outdoor living on the balcony or rooftop deck with panoramic ocean, mountain, and sunrise and sunset views. Perfectly located for an easy walk to the beach, beautiful Shoreline Park, the harbor, or downtown in just minutes. Private gated entry, with stairs to unit hidden behind main residence garage. Off-street parking.

The space
This fabulous unit has a private entrance and is separated from the main house by its outdoor ocean-view balcony. Located above the main residence's 2-car garage, it has a full, high-end kitchen, separate bedroom with a queen bed and lockable pocket door, and bathroom with deep soaking tub (with shower) for your relaxing pleasure.

Ocean views galore are yours from the main living area, including out the window above the kitchen sink! Fabulous mountain views from the bathroom and bedroom--and even a peak of the ocean from those rooms as well. The spacious balcony allows you to dine outdoors with ocean views, and the rooftop deck has incomparable views of the ocean and mountains in all directions.

The kitchen has an Bosch induction range top and convention oven, instant hot water dispenser, whole-house water filter, and much more. The living area has a pullout full-size sofa bed that sleeps two somewhat smaller humans comfortably--additional bedding is in the bedroom closet and the foam mattress topper is available on request. Pack n Play playpen (with mattress) and high chair also available on request for your smallest humans.

Guest access
This one-bedroom unit is yours to use exclusively. The gated entry to the side of the driveway is used only by guests to access the hidden stairs at the back of the large garage over which the unit is located.

The unit is connected the the main residence by an outside, partially covered balcony. Our guests will have exclusive use of that balcony during their stay, along with potentially shared use of the rooftop deck with the property owners.

One space to the right of the driveway is available for guests to park off-street if desired, along with abundant on-street parking near the unit.

The back yard is accessed through a gate at the bottom of the stairs to the unit if you want to smell our roses, but we have two (very friendly) pups that use the yard most of the time.

Lemons from our tree (and potentially oranges, avocados, or peaches, depending on the season) are available for sharing with guests upon request.

Other things to note
The Mesa is the undisputed gem of all Santa Barbara's neighborhoods. Guests are a 5-house walk to the the closest beach access, a block from gorgeous Shoreline Park, less than a mile to iconic Leadbetter Beach, and minutes by car (if you choose not to walk) from the Santa Barbara Harbor, State Street, Funk Zone, and Montecito.

A variety of shops, restaurants, pharmacies, and grocery stores--including Lazy Acres Natural Market--are walking distance or a very short drive away. The mountains for hiking and beautiful views are easily accessible, or you can be visiting the Santa Ynez wine region, Los Olivos, or Solvang in just 45 minutes. It doesn't get much better!
