About this house rental

Fantastic 180 degrees of unobstructed ocean views, island views and whale watching await your stay at the Santa Barbara Beach Front Retreat. As you step through the clock vine lined front gate of this remarkable cliff side home, the sea is your backyard and the 40 acre nature preserve is your neighbor. Speak to TAMARA regarding this property & six sixtyone five ninetynine seventeen seventyone.

The Retreat has two suites (master suite and mini suite, each with it’s own bath) and a loft with two twin beds for additional guests, making this home perfect for multiple couples and families. The spectacular two-story living room has floor to ceiling windows facing the ocean, which makes this Don Petersen designed home truly unique.

Enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sun rise and have breakfast on the patio while the boats set sail and schools of dolphins pass by. While sunbathing or barbecuing you will have the company of pelicans who drift by at eye level as they ride the ocean thermals. Take a walk in the neighboring nature preserve and/or nap on the private ocean front patio. Looking down the coastline you will see the Santa Barbara Channel Islands spread across the horizon. Looking up the coast you will see the UCSB campus and it’s iconic Stork tower landmark approximately 10 miles in the distance. Sunsets are simply breathtaking, and as you sip a glass of wine and watch the sun dip below the horizon you will feel a renewed sense of calm. After a night out at one of the many nearby restaurants or enjoying an evening downtown on State Street you can return to your private Jacuzzi and relax while you watch the sparkling stars. Retire to your bedroom and blissfully fall asleep to the sound of the waves breaking on the beach below.

Located in Santa Barbara’s Mesa neighborhood, The Retreat has beach access and is just a five minute walk to the Mesa beach steps- and yet it is just a two minute drive (or an easy walk) to Mesa shops and restaurants, including multiple grocery stores and Starbucks.

Downtown is a quick eight minute drive where you will enjoy State Street, wine tasting, the pier, shopping, restaurants, the Zoo and the famous Santa Barbara Mission. The Santa Barbara Retreat is the ideal place to take advantage of the best that Santa Barbara has to offer.

Beautiful spot on the Mesa

My husband and I along with our dog stayed at this beautiful property for 3 months. We loved being right next to the Douglas Preserve where we walked several times a day. We saw dolphin and whales quite often from the patio overlooking the ocean. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and Tamra was very responsive whenever an issue came up. I would recommend this property to anyone who loves the ocean and did I mention the gorgeous gardens surrounding the property too!

As if the sound and sight of the Pacific Ocean weren't enough, the house is lovely and beautifully stocked. We loved the area too and had a terrific vacation.

We really enjoyed our three day stay that we booked through iTravex/VRBO. Especially liked the morning walks through the adjacent park. Also, a must stop for breakfast is the Boathouse beachside restaurant.

Wonderful Retreat

This was, for us, the perfect combination of location and property! The view can't be beaten, the home is comfortable, and the proximity to beach, harbor, and Douglas Preserve is major icing on the cake. While it would work for anyone who doesn't need a larger place, it's truly special for anyone who enjoys walking and/or has dogs who would love romping with other dogs in the nearby preserve. If you're also fortunate enough to visit during the late Fall to early Spring months, you may be treated to the unsurpassed view of whales breaching in the channel!

This house was simply amazing! One step inside the front door and you are greeted by one of the best ocean views you will find on the west coast. Right outside the front door you have a great 2km running/walking trail that follows the shoreline and has great views throughout. It is also an off-leash dog park with lots of friendly dogs. We ate every meal outside on the patio and enjoyed stunning sunsets. The house itself was clean and just as described in the listing. The landlord was friendly and more than willing to help with anything we inquired about. You will not regret staying here!

Best vacation ever!

My husband and I spent a week at the house with our dog Charlie. I cannot begin to describe how wonderful this house and the surrounding area are! The house itself is absolutely beautiful and exactly as advertised. The bed in the master was especially comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with very nice appliances. The view is incredible and the outdoor space lovely. We ate every meal outside overlooking the ocean. It is the perfect location, close to downtown Santa Barbara, close to great grocery shops, directly adjacent to an off-leach dog preserve and a short jaunt to a gorgeous off-leash dog beach. Tamara was wonderful throughout the process! We are absolutely planning on staying again next summer.

My wife and I along with our dog, spent 9 glorious days at the house and it was amazing. The views cannot be beaten anywhere I believe. The outside deck complete with lounge chairs, round patio table and a hi top table, were perfect to have breakfast, lunch and dinners on. The bbq was good and the lush backyard was a real oasis. Located just steps from an off leash dog preserve and near the dog beaches, it was the perfect location for our dog and us. The Mesa area has many fine grocery shops, eating places and so many other things, you really don't have to leave the area. Located near Santa Barbara it's an easy 5 minute drive. Sunset park is just minutes away, as well as two other cliff side parks which were great for walking. The house itself was very nice, the kitchen was fully stocked, the master bedroom very comfortable and the upstairs loft served as a perfect office, and the view from the loft picture window is great. Washer and drier worked perfectly. Bathrooms a little small but fine. Wireless internet work fine and all other items functioned well. I must also add, that Tamara could not have been nicer nor more responsive from beginning the process to check out. A real plus. We would stay again.

This was our first vrbo with our rescue Golden Retriever. The house is very dog friendly. The yard was large enough for her to roam but contained so we didn't worry about her. The dog park next door to the house was lovely however we found that we all enjoyed the dog friendly beach which is steps away from the house more It was a real luxury to have kitchen supplies provided. Coffee filters for example made the first day easier as did olive oil, and spices. Beach towels were available and plentiful. Toiletry items were also provided. We walked to Mesa for groceries, meals and errands. Very convenient. We also had dinner on State St in downtown Santa Barbara which is close and quick to get to. Our favorite new spot is The Boathouse on Hendrys Beach; Lovely cozy little restaurant that sits directly on the beach and serves delicious food. The home has a gorgeous hot tub that was easy to use. There was also an outside grill that too was easy to manage. The home is comfortable and feels good when you are there. We will absolutely be returning. Our dog discovered she loved the beach!
