Large Home with Ocean Views & Hot Tub!

Blue Water Vista - Coastal Views on the Mesa

Perched on a quiet corner in a beloved Mesa neighborhood is this cheerful home with ocean views and only minutes from the coastal bliss of Santa Barbara's beaches. The location is ideal, the home, impeccable.

Care has been taken to create a seamless experience for visitors in this newly renovated home whose design and color palette echo the hues of the nearby surf, sand, and blue sky overhead. Coming in at over 3,300 square feet, this home is as spacious as it is beautiful.

Wide garden steps ascend from the driveway to the front entrance and foyer. Additional stairs inside lead to varying levels and should be taken into consideration for guests with mobility issues.

Once on the second-floor main level, the great room is truly the heart of this exceptional home, with soaring ceilings and a grand-scale picture window framing the ocean views. With a radiant heat fireplace available at the touch of a button, a streaming-enabled flat-screen tv, an intimate shaded terrace, and plenty of seating, guests can truly settle into this welcoming space. An elegant dining table offers formal seating for those special occasions. From here, step up to a bright and well-stocked kitchen with two large granite islands offering the invitation to create memorable meal times effortlessly. A breakfast table for six is tucked beside another large window with more ocean and neighborhood views. Brew your coffee with ease using the Nespresso machine, or utilize the drip or Keurig options available as well. The barbecue patio for the grill-master in the group and a four-top table for dining al fresco is just outside.

Also on this main level are three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a laundry room. For an added sense of luxury, two of the bedrooms feature comfortable King-size beds, and one a luxe California King bed. The north bedroom offers views of the backyard, a television, and a cozy loft with a full-size mattress perfect for a nap or kids hangout! Two bedrooms on the south side offer ocean views, one of which is en suite as it is connected to one of the two hall bathrooms. Hallway doors lead to the lush backyard with a tropical feel, a picturesque pond, and an L-shaped lawn to enjoy a challenging game of croquet or badminton. The outdoor area is also equipped with an outdoor shower, perfect for washing off the sand after a long day at the beach!

Ascend the last set of stairs from the great room to the 3rd floor, where a perfect "work from home" loft with a daybed and trundle overlooks the activity below in the living room, ideal for extra guests. Open the French doors to enjoy the fountain's tranquil sounds or take a luxurious soak in the hot tub on the slate terrace. This hidden treasure is a serene spot to relax and unwind. Oh, and if that is not enough, there are more ocean views!

Also on the 3rd floor, the primary suite features a King bed, gas-log fireplace, flat-screen television, and a wet bar complete with a coffee maker and hidden beverage cooler. Step out onto the ocean view balcony at sunset to instantly take away any cares of the day. The spa-like bathroom offers a luxurious soaking tub, large glass shower, two separate vanities, and a large walk-in closet. Conveniently there is also access to the hot tub terrace from here. Plush terry cloth robes are provided for that added spa-like feel!

Finally, the garage on the ground level has thoughtfully been set-up as a game and exercise room, complete with a ping-pong table, PreCore elliptical trainer, yoga mats, and a closet filled with other games and toys.

Bonus: The entire home is equipped with a quality sound system, so no matter which room you are in, you don't have to go without your favorite tunes!

When it is time to explore, hop on one of the bikes provided. Give "Mesa Burger" a try, or enjoy authentic Mexican food at a local's favorite "Rose Cafe." Plan a trip to "Mesa Produce" for a bountiful selection of organic fruits and vegetables fresh from the field, or just walk around the friendly neighborhood surrounding this ideal vacation property. Shoreline Park is just a quick walk or drive down the street, as are favorite local beaches, including Ledbetter Beach! Additionally, the new State Street Promenade is a short drive or bike ride away.

Whatever the activity, there is a special place or a scenic view at Blue Water Vista to enjoy every moment of one's truly memorable stay.

First Week Was A Nightmare!
Property was beautiful, clean, stocked, and in a great location. I was notified that the refrigerator was broken an hour before check-in on Tuesday. The rentor would not purchase a temporary refrigerator (local options at less cost than I was spending for a day) and relocated a small mini fridge without a working freezer upstairs. I informed the rentor that I needed a working refrigerator and freezer for the expected group of six adults for the holiday and was told they were working on it. On Thursday I was told that a repairman could come to fix it on Saturday (5 days after check in) and was asked if I wanted a rep for the rentor to be present during the repair which I affirmed. The repair/rebuild took nearly 10 hours on 2 Saturday visits spanning from 9:30am to 7:30pm; and a Sunday visit at 11am. A representative from the rentor was only available for half of this effort - so I oversaw. They were only able to fix the refrigerator, not the freezer. On Monday a person arrived with little notice to install a temporary freezer. Next an electrician showed up with no notice to fix an outlet. That was our first week - meals eaten out and significant disruption from repeated maintenance calls. On Saturday we were not able enjoy the area (or even have a decent meal) as the entire day was spent watching over repairmen. They should have brought a temp refrigerator and saved us seven days of pain.

Great views of the Santa Barbara channel from multiple rooms
This was a great place to stay! It is walking distance to Shoreline Park, where you can walk along the cliffs above the ocean and see the Santa Barbara pier in the distance. The kitchen was about as well stocked as I have ever seen. The backyard had a cool pond above the lawn. The bedrooms with all of the king beds, made it a comfortable stay for everyone. The fireplaces were also a nice touch. If I ever win the lotto, I would buy it!

Christmas in CA
Three generations loved our time together in this beautiful house with more amenities than expected! The location is perfect to downtown, beach access, mountains. We did it all! Enjoyed the views. Ate most meals at “home”! We visited Calvary Chapel church and felt welcome. Loved the praise band and the pastors. We had a wonderful sea food lunch at Boathouse at Hendry’s beach. We visited the UCSB campus where my daughter-in-law is getting her PhD! Such a great way to celebrate Christmas with family! Back to the awesome house-the beds were so comfortable, the hot tub so relaxing, the kitchen had everything needed to make great meals at home. Loved the dining table with seating for 8 as we all gathered together for meals and games. Four of the five bikes worked well and were used everyday for sunrise and sunsets, and lots of exercise (for some!). We played darts and ping pong and enjoyed sitting by the fountain outside to read a book. Fountain was a little stinky at times. The hosts were very responsive and friendly! Would love to come back! It’s a big investment in family memories, but so worth it!

Beautiful house
My family had a great stay at the blue vista! The location was very close to the water, downtown areas and grocery store. The neighborhood was quiet and had views of the ocean, we loved the big bay windows in the living room. The house was big and spread out which made it nice to still have privacy. The kitchen was well stocked, especially loved the espresso machine, and everything was clean! We enjoyed the back patio, hot tub and ping pong/darts! Would definitely stay here again!

Wish we could have stayed longer! We will return :)
Lovely house! Very comfortable and fully equipped for cooking a few meals which we did. The roof deck is a nice bonus. The weather was stormy most of our visit so we didn't use the large hot tub there. The windows are large and provide great territorial and ocean views. Lots of levels and stairs which didn't bother us or our dogs , but would be a challenge for someone less able. This would be a perfect house for a reunion or family gathering. We really enjoyed our stay!

A Family Affair
Beautiful open sunny home in pristine condition. Easy beach access, 4 bikes for gadding about, hot tub for chillin out. If you do family meals the kitchen is well equipped (utensils, blender, coffee makers, and cookware-including larger pots) and has room for the whole family to help with prep. Indoor and out door dining to seat the whole family. Lovely places to sit and talk and ping pong table for fun. Multiple bathrooms so grooming for a wedding was uncomplicated. Our family has enjoyed many events together but the luxury of your home was icing on the cake. Note of caution- the lovely wood flooring with changing levels (step down from kitchen to dinning area and coming down the stair with quirky shaped steps ) caused two stumbles but no falls. Maybe some bright colored tape on the edge of the step would be a more distinct visual alert.

The Most Absolutely Perfect Stay for our Daughter's Wedding!
Blue Water Vista was absolutely the most fantastic and amazing house! We stayed for10 fabulous days for our daughter's wedding and it could not have been more perfect! Our daughter got married in Santa Barbara last weekend at The Hotel Californian at the base of State Street and when we were planning our trip from Florida we were looking for a large beautiful house, close to downtown to accommodate our family and to be a home base during the wedding weekend. I cannot say enough things about how perfect this house was. To start the location cannot be beat, the Mesa is a beautiful neighborhood only 5 min to downtown by car, 10 min by bike and also just a short walk to the beach. The house is situated on a hill which allows spectacular views of the ocean from almost every room in the house. From the primary bedroom upstairs I would open my eyes every morning to the most spectacular sunrises over the water and to add to that when you got the up, the rest of the house was bathed in beautiful morning sunlight. The house was incredibly spacious, beautifully decorated and super comfortable!! It easily and comfortably accommodated 8 of us in the 4 king bedrooms and we even used the loft day bed a couple of nights for extra guests. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were incredibly comfortable and so cozy with down comforters and pillows! The primary bedroom even has a gas fireplace on a timer that was so wonderful to fall asleep to every night. The hot tub on the roof with views of the ocean was also a wonderful added bonus! In addition to how gorgeous the house was it was also outfitted with everything you could possibly want to make your stay easy and effortless. From every pot and pan you could need, to 3 different coffee makers, to tin foil, to scissors, to detergent to 4 bikes (with bike locks) and the list goes on, they really thought of everything to make our stay so absolutely fantastic and carefree. I can't thank you enough for this perfect house that made our daughter's wedding week all the more spectacular!! We will definitely and can't wait to come back!

We stayed here for our daughters wedding with our immediate family and her girlfriends. Everyone came in and was very pleased with the house and comfortable. It worked out perfect for the 10 of us with plenty of sleeping space. The kitchen has amazing space to do any meal you can think of. The photographer came on the day of the wedding and got some amazing shots of our daughter. The back yard worked perfectly and was gorgeous for photos. Be sure to take time to admire the front door trimming, our daughter was able to get a photo in front as well which is really the only place she wanted to be sure we got a photo!! We would definitely stay there again and Megan from VRBO was amazing and on top of everything.
