Central to adventures in the Mesa, close to beach

Nestled in the beloved Arroyo Burro beachside neighborhood, this 1,300 sq. ft. Santa Barbara retreat is your launchpad for coastal adventures and relaxed living. Just steps from the scenic Douglas Family Preserve and dog-friendly Hendry’s Beach, it’s the perfect home base for beach days, paragliding views, and sunset strolls.

This thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2-bath home also includes a versatile bonus room—ideal as an office, kids’ play space, or extra sleeping nook with a twin sleeper sofa. Inside, enjoy lightning-fast internet, smart TVs, and a fully equipped kitchen for everything from morning smoothies to sunset cocktails. One bedroom is intentionally screen-free for unplugged rest.

Outside, a lush tropical backyard invites you to unwind with a private hot tub, a cozy gas fireplace framed by colorful Spanish tile, and stylish outdoor lounge seating. Whether you're dining alfresco under the palms or enjoying stargazing soaks, this space is made for memorable summer nights.

The home includes parking for two vehicles in the driveway, with easy additional street parking. Smart touches and thoughtful amenities throughout make it perfect for families, couples, and small groups.

We gladly welcome well-behaved dogs (sorry, no cats). With the beach and blufftop trails just around the corner, it’s a dream for your four-legged companion, too.

Let us help you plan the perfect Santa Barbara getaway—from local eats and farmer’s markets to wine country adventures and sailing excursions. Come live the laid-back coastal lifestyle—your summer starts here.
