The two patios/decks and the panoramic views are the crown jewels of this beachside property atop a bluff overlooking the Channel Islands. A blend of sun and shade shifts during the day adding to the comfort and calm of the serene setting. Beach access is steps and stairs away (just down the street and down 240 stairs), but we preferred the family friendly Hendry’s Beach down Cliff Drive. The house is a short drive from downtown Santa Barbara and many local attractions. A delivery of new patio cushions arrived on our first day to replace a set that was older and dirty. This demonstrated to us that the owner is attentive to guests and their experiences. The house is comfortable with open views and lots of daylight. The interior is a blend of comfort and some slightly outdated items, but you don’t stay in a property like this to remain indoors. It definitely had enough amenities to feel like a home away from home. We were extremely satisfied and would stay here again. Highly recommended!

This property is amazing! It was the perfect size for our party of 4 adults and 2 children. The location and view are unbeatable. There is a large yard that includes a beautiful deck, grassy area and separate brick patio all looking over the ocean. Bring your binoculars (one pair was provided) because we spotted dolphins every day of our stay. The home is in a quiet residential area with perfect streets for walking. The closest beach is down a long staircase so we chose to drive just a few minutes down the road to a larger beach. The house is well maintained and well stocked. Communication with the owner was excellent. Beaches, downtown shops and restaurants, the zoo and the mission were all just a short drive from the home. We look forward to booking this home again!

Loved being “on” the ocean but also being above it, maybe 60’. Views expansive. In a nice walkable neighborhood. Comfortable beach cottage. Lots of windows. Great communication with the owner. Stayed 2 weeks and wish it was 2 months.

We stayed here for our honeymoon. The view was stunning. It rained a few days and we could still see and hear the ocean in front of the cozy fireplace. House isn’t updated, so if you’re looking for modern, this isn’t your vibe. That being said, the house is so charming and comes equipped with everything you could need. We enjoyed grilling on the deck and used the fireplace several times. We didn’t rent a car, opting for Ubers and Lyfts instead. We had no issue getting rides and everything was 5-10 minutes away no matter which area of town, so the location was perfect. Communication with the owner was easy!

This home is the best home away from home. Then you add the beauty of the view and there is no leaving this peaceful place. The owners have made this home so easy and comfortable. I’ve had the blessing of renting it multiple times and always leave hoping I’ll be back soon. ❤️

We loved the place. Incredible location, right on the ocean, we were just one block from the stairs to Mesa lane spot where we went surfy. Easy and clear communication with the owner. Very easy process. Looking forward to going back. We should not say anything else…we want to keep it as our secret spot!😉

The photos do not lie! The views when you enter the front door of this home are just amazing. The house is located on a cliff directly above the ocean. We fell asleep every night to the sound of the surf. The patios were so enticing that we hated to leave - and a special treat for Texans in July was being able to wrap up in blankets on the porch! The kitchen was very well equipped for cooking and the location was very convenient to the very thing we wanted to do. Grocery store minutes from the house. Very easy, professional contact with the owner . This was a mother/ daughter trip and we had a great time l.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the oceanfront cottage with the ocean right outside the picture windows and deck. We loved beachcombing at the nearby beach as well as watching the pelicans, seagulls, dolphins, surfers, and occasional whale spout while relaxing on the deck. The property is very quiet and located in a friendly neighborhood with lots of bikers, walkers, and dog walkers passing by. The house and furniture were comfortable and clean, and we enjoyed the ping pong table in the garage. The decor was wonderful, and we appreciated the good quality and variety of kitchenware; large, thick, and comfy towels; and grip bars in the shower. To improve the ambience for the renter even more, we recommend replacing the showerheads, additional lighting in the bedrooms, and adding niceties like kleenix. The heat, WiFi and TVs worked well; the house was in good repair except for two burned out lightbulbs in the bathroom, which we replaced.The laundry center was very appreciated, as we didn't have to pack as much on our trip. The property was just a short drive to Santa Barbara landmarks like Stearns Wharf and the Zoo as well as a central location for trips to Ojai, Lompoc, and Channel Islands National Park. The owner, Laura, was very welcoming and communicative. Overall, we had a fun and relaxing time and recommend the Edgewater home to all.

We have stayed at this property several times and the view is fabulous. We enjoyed watching the sea life, surfers, and waves all day long. The house is very comfortable as is the deck and patio. Would stay here again.

This house has the most spectacular views of the ocean, with two porches from the which to enjoy the sights. We lived outside almost everyday, as the views were memorizing. And everything is within walking distance, anything that you need (coffee, grocery stores, etc). The house is also in close proximity to downtown Santa Barbara, within 10 minutes drive. We will most definitely be returning here again.

Wow! Laura's home is a wonderful beach cottage. The views are spectacular, you can literally sit on the couch and watch wave after wave. I prefer the outdoors: the deck and patio are so relaxing, I fell asleep there. Even though we were there during rather intense storms, there was no problem at all with the cottage. We had a fire and that was truly nice. Laura is responsive and easy to work with. I always prefer renting directly from a homeowner rather than through a management team. I'm already looking forward to renting again and again!

Our family was in town for a wedding and decided to make it a weeklong vacation. The cottage-style house was great. Everything we needed. The outdoor deck and patio were perfect for just hanging out, reading and sunning. We went to the beach every morning for a dip in the ocean. Easy access to town and groceries. Just a great getaway with family! Cannot wait to do it again!!!

If you’re looking to have the Pacific Ocean right in your own backyard this is the place for you! Beautiful mornings and evenings are guaranteed staring at the ocean and listening to the sounds of waves crashing. The home is lovely and the epitome of a comfortable, cozy beach cottage. Close proximity to Shoreline Park and The Mesa Steps are a plus. Easy drive into State Street for shopping and restaurants. Will definitely stay again!

It's hard to believe, but the views are actually even better than in the photos! The cottage is lovely and has good amenities with beach basics. nice bedding, and generally well equipped. We didn't do any real cooking so the kitchen easily had everything we needed. Other reviews mentioned the bathrooms and they are rather basic, small, cottage style, but clean and adequate so we had no complaints. The beach is a short walk (including 240 stairs) to a nearly-private beach, yet restaurants and wine tastings are only a short drive away. The one item to note is that this is not ideal in a work from anywhere world. The WiFi was not great and cellular reception was also rather weak so we had to take multiple meetings elsewhere to ensure reliable connections. Hopefully this will improve to make this cottage even more wonderful!

We truly enjoyed our stay. Just a short stroll from the beach, we loved sitting on the patio having morning coffee and listening to the waves. Walking distance to a few restaurants and grocery store and just a short ride in the car to just about everywhere. I would highly recommend staying here, we didn’t want to leave!
