Just 3 blocks above Leadbetter Beach and Shoreline Park this beautiful and dedicated solely as a VACATION HOME is located on the popular MESA neighborhood, the crown jewel of Santa Barbara.

Leadbetter Beach is a short walk down the street where you can lay out your beach towels, chairs, umbrella and cooler (ALL PROVIDED/INCLUDED) and watch the surfers catching waves. Sorry No dogs/alcohol allowed here.

Shoreline Park is a popular 14-acre coastal bluff park with amenities including a playground, picnic tables / barbecues, and beach access stairs. Shoreline Park provides sweeping views of the Santa Barbara Coastline, the Marina, the Channel Islands, and Santa Ynez Mountains. Walking through the Torii Gate in the center of the park will take you to down the bluff to the beach below. DOGS can play OFF-LEASH on this beach (that's my little buddy in cover photo) and on-leash in the park.

The home is also close to the popular downtown State Street, wharf and marina, shopping, wine tasting, popular restaurants, outdoor rentals and much more. Let me know your interests are and I'll help point the way!

Trusted Babysitter (child or dog):
Across the street from my home lives a long-time resident Debbie. She has cared for many of my house guest's children or pet.

FLY into our local Santa Barbara Airport (Alaska / American / Delta / Frontier / United) The home is located between the 101 Frwy and the Beach. Traveling North exit Bath Street. Traveling South exit Castillo Street. Use your map app to guide you to the house.

Please Note:

Wonderful stay in Santa Barbara!
Our family enjoyed this beautiful home and it met all of our needs for the weekend! Three bedrooms, plus the large loft gave us plenty of room to sleep, but also lots of space in living area and back yard for enjoying our time together. Host was quick with emails, check in/out was smooth, everything was better than advertised. The slightest negative would be couch beds - we added extra blankets for padding. Cute decor everywhere, nice dishes, large fridge. Thank you Mark for sharing your lovely home with us!

Outstanding Property
We have stayed in many properties during our travels. Mark's property stands out as truly exceptional. The location is wonderful, within walking distance of the beach. The home is comfortable and extends into a lovely backyard which our golden retriever loved. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked and we really enjoyed the "coffee bar' set up in the kitchen. We also had the added bonus of a wonderful pet sitter right across the street. We will definitely consider it for future travels to the area.

My family of 3 stayed here for 5 days while visiting my son who is in college in Santa Barbara. This house is wonderful! It’s clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything you might need. The backyard is a lovely oasis and this property is within walking distance to the beach. We couldn’t have been happier and will definitely stay here again when we return to lovely Santa Barbara.

Thoughtfully appointed comfortable house near the shore
Everything about this house was well thought out with the guest in mind. It was impeccably clean and everything was in excellent working order. We stayed here with our dog immediately after staying at two 5-star ocean side resorts and found this house to be their equal in comfort. The primary bathroom was exceptional! The kitchen was well equipped. Our dog loved the yard and would sit in the sun as I made breakfast each morning. We did find the traffic noise from adjacent Cliff Drive slightly distracting, but not a showstopper. Overall, Mark was a responsive host who has created a lovely home for guests visiting Santa Barbara. We would enjoy staying there again.

Phenomenal!
We recently enjoyed a wonderful stay at this charming home in Santa Barbara, just one block from the ocean. The location was incredibly convenient, with a short walk to the beach, close to all attractions, cafes and restaurants. The well-maintained, charming and welcoming house and beautiful garden made for a lovely atmosphere. Mark is a great host! His communication was excellent and service outstanding. The home was so generously appointed - we truly appreciate things like a complimentary bottle of wine, coffee, soap, shampoo and conditioner in each bathroom, lots of comfy blankets to curl up in, extra towels, tons of glassware, serving dishes.Truly excellent! Check-in and out were well-explained and didn't ask us to do too much. Essentially, a breeze. We couldn't have had a better experience. Thanks again for the wonderful experience. We loved it so much we would happily stay here again and recommend this place to friends and family.

reunion with dear friends of six decades--from age 10!
The house could not have been more perfect!! It was so beautiful and worked so well for me, the wheelchair user, and my friends from elementary school. Santa Barbara is a gem. The location allowed us to spend all our time walking (me being pushed by my friends)--first to the lovely downtown area and the next day along gorgeous Shoreline Drive to the pier. We went to excellent restaurants--including Opal's and an upscale vegan place, Oliver's in Montecito. We hope to come back next year!!
