About this house rental

The Boathouse—Upper Unit (1 Bed/1 Bath with a sleeper sofa in living room). Please inquire if you would like to book both Upper & Lower levels together (2 Bed/ 2 Bath) or see listing titled "Entire Unit". Property code for entire unit: p4170118

Paradise on the beach! Sitting right on the sand at one of the most beautiful semi-private beaches in Santa Barbara, "The Boathouse" is the perfect retreat! This property is located on the best part of Miramar Beach! Constructed of teak, mahogany and white spruce, accompanied by etched and stained glass windows, this unique cottage has been designed to look and feel like a well-built custom sailing vessel. The property consists of two separate one bedroom/one bathroom units joined by a connected stairway inside and a common entrance from the outside. Each unit can be rented separately (sleeping 2 adults and 2 children) or together for a maximum of 6 to 8 people. Please take into consideration that this property is equip with multiple sets of stairs that are required for access down to the unit and down to the beach.

The Upper Unit features a fireplace and larger enclosed deck. Relax and enjoy the amazing view as you listen to the sound of the surging waves. Let the waves lull you to sleep in a comfortable queen size bed. For your entertainment, this cozy cabin is also equipped with a television, cable TV and wifi. However, you will be too busy enjoying the outdoors! Just a few steps to the sand, where plenty of beach accessories await for your enjoyment—chairs, umbrellas, kayaks and boogie boards included.

When you are ready to enjoy a meal, a small kitchen provides all that you need for cooking or step up to the roof deck for your barbequing pleasure! (Deck is shared with lower unit). If eating out at great restaurants is more your style, Montecito's lower Village is only a mile away and downtown Santa Barbara is a short 10 minute drive.

When flying into the area, the property is easily accessible from Santa Barbara Airport (only about 20 minutes away) and Los Angeles (90 miles south).
The Boathouse is truly a relaxing place to get away for it all! Come and escape to Miramar Beach!

Please Note: If both units are rented by separate parties, expect some interaction due to the nature of the internal stairs, upper deck, shared laundry, and common stairs to the beach. This property is equipped with multiple sets of stairs that are required for access down to the unit from the parking lot and down to the beach. It may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues.

The residence was clean and as advertised. The location is right on the sand in a very quiet area of Montecito. it is a short drive to restaurants in Montecito or downtown Santa Barbara. Would definitely stay again.

This place was amazing and had so much character. The location was perfect to everything in Montecito and Santa Barbara. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed. Don’t miss out by staying somewhere else! The communication from the management company was great. We will be back!

This is a fantastic location, but it is really only good for a couple, maybe a child or two but not 3 or 4 adults. The reason is the second bed is a fold out sofa that is very uncomfortable. Our adult child ended up sleeping on the sofa folded up. Also, the shower is in the bedroom but the toilet/sink is right next to the kitchen so also fine for a couple but not more than 2 adults. By the way, for the price it is still a great place for a couple. The deck is fantastic and hearing the ocean is great. Also FYI, the shower walls are large stones which look cool but never really dry out so the place is musty, especially after using the shower. We would consider staying there again, but I could see how some people would be put off by this. The hosts were great. The rooftop deck is great. Are while there were downstairs tenants when we were there, there was no problem with the shared stairway. Also, a big plus is you can walk down the beach 3 minutes to the Miramar Beach Hotel for drinks or a meal.

I needed a place to stay for a retreat and decided to rent a beach house rather than stay at a hotel. The Boat House was adorable and cozy - right on the sand. You could sleep to the sound of the waves and drink your coffee as the sun rose over the surf. The only ONLY issue was that the neighbor's decks were an inch away... so there was no privacy whatsoever. Other than that, it was perfect.
