The living area is an open concept and includes several dining options including a dinette, bar area, as well as alfresco accommodations on a lovely covered patio.

Located in the California Coastal Zone, the "Mesa" has become one of Santa Barbara's most desirable neighborhoods with it's own collection of shopping basics as well as a nice variety of restaurants and cuisines. Close to ocean bluffs, beaches and parks with miles of quiet neighborhood streets for walks or bicycle rides. The harbor, pier, funk zone, City College, and downtown are close by, UCSB and the airport are 10 - 15 minutes.

The house is 1950s simple 2 X 4 construction. Please treat it gently, with care and respect. A city noise ordinance from 9:00 pm to 8:00 am will be enforced.

Beautiful property. Wonderful host!
My friends and I stayed here while seeing a show at the Santa Barbara Bowl. The location is perfect, the house is beautiful and the host couldn’t have been kinder. He even gave us a ride to the concert! Thank you Frank!

Beautiful home with a lovely backyard.
The property was wonderful. It was spacious and quiet and our pup had the best time playing and exploring in the big backyard. Frank was super friendly and gracious. We really enjoyed the place and would definitely stay again.

Best VRBO on the Mesa in SB
We have stayed in many VRBOs but this was the best. It felt like a comfortable home – not a rental unit. The house was well stocked, in a quiet neighborhood, exceptionally clean, and the BBQ was spotless. The location was perfect with an easy walk to the Douglas Family Preserve that sits 100 feet above the ocean with panoramic views. Quick ride or walk to the beach. Morning walks on the beach were one of our favorite activities. We highly recommend this house. We stayed in another rental unit in the Mesa last year. This house was by far the better choice. Our two small dogs loved the fenced backyard. The property feels much bigger than the stated 1,000 square feet. Also, the owner was great to work with. He was very responsive to our questions and requests. We look forward to staying at the house again.

Stay Review
Clean house upon arrival, big backyard. However be aware people live on the property (garage) directly connected to the house, which makes it a bit uncomfortable due to the lack of privacy. If you are planning a FUN family getaway by the beach this home is not ideal, the lack of privacy really affected our stay.

Great location
House is well kept, Owner was easy to communicate with. Great location 15 min away from all the hot spots. Right next to a nature preserve and beach, great for dog lovers because both locations are off leash.

Just as advertised
The house was perfect for our stay and was just as advertised. Clean, updated and in a great location. Close to State st, about a 10 min drive. The neighborhood was very quite. The drive to the beach was less than 5 min. Overall a great place to stay! And Frank the owner was so nice and answered all questions we had.
