Just a short walk to the beach and Shoreline Park, where you can wiggle your toes in the sand or find oceanside walking paths and playground for the little ones. A bit further on is Stearns Wharf and Santa Barbara Harbor with restaurants, seafood market, shopping, cruises, whale watching and watersport rentals. Should you decide to stay put and just relax at this four bed / three bath home, you can do so poolside while enjoying the outdoor BBQ for alfresco dining under the shaded pergola, then unwind in the jacuzzi while stargazing under the night sky. For indoor entertaining, the chef has a bright open kitchen area to flaunt culinary skills while guests socialize around the large island. If you must work, there are two workstations with privacy and reliable connectivity. At the end of the day, retreat to the upstairs master suite. Enjoy the peek-a-boo ocean and island views from the private balcony. As you drift off to sleep, listen to the crashing waves and an occasional sea lion barking in the distance. Santa Barbara attractions like the Urban Wine Trail, the Funk Zone, the Mission, museums and many diversions of State Street are all within a short drive. Making happy memories here is A Shore Thing. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Shower - Soap - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 2,600 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83970000/83963800/83963778/a2a1ab63.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### \*NEW LISTING\* Ocean front beach house close beach access The Mesa - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.0 Wonderful 23 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=83963778&PinnedHotelID=83963778&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/46000000/45680000/45674000/45673985/bbd0ec35.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Santa Barbara Beach House, Spa, Luxe Amenities, Fireplace, 3 minutes to beach The Mesa - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 64 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=45673985&PinnedHotelID=45673985&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83720000/83717600/83717582/eeac713b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Little Palm Cottage - Steps from Shoreline Park, walk to beach, live like a local The Mesa - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 49 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-04&endDate=2025-12-05&selected=83717582&PinnedHotelID=83717582&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![A heated pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34090000/34085200/34085155/5ef97ff4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Resort-Style Escape | Saltwater Pool & Spa!
